A curious case, without record or parallel, is narrated in the Lancet by two medical men, of a domestic servant, aged 28, who wrote and mad backwards, held her prayer-book r.\ church upside down, and when tidying a room put oases and photographs back on the shelves upside down, and reversed pictures.
