STRANGE MIND REVERSAL
DID EVERYTHING BACKWARDS.
PSEUDO-MIRROR WRITING.
By Telegraph—Press Assn.—Copyright. London, April 22.
A curious case, to which no previous parallel had been recorded, is narrated in the Lancet by two medical men. It was that of a domestic servant, aged 28, who wrote and read backwards, held her prayer-book in church upside down, and when tidying a room put vases and photographs back on the shelves upside down and reversed the pictures. The case is described as pseudo-mirror writing. The patient was restored to normal under light hypnosis. In early life she had been in a mental hospital and lost her speech, but recovered it afterwards.
