To quickly assess the difficulty of the text, read a short excerpt:
An insane woman under my care threw herself into the river; rescued, I asked her, " Why did you do this ? " "I kept from it as long as I could," was her reply, " and if you had let me go home last Wednesday with my friends I should never have done it." I found tlie idea had been there for weeks, but the discouras^ed feelino: about going home was what turned the scale. Lest it should be claimed that this was not insanity, but mere depression of spirits, from being kept too long in a hospital aft...er recovery, T may say that, following this plunge in the icy water, she rapidly improved, was cheerful where she had been de- pressed, and some weeks later went home, appar- ently well. It was her misfortune to have an intem- perate husband, who again, a year later, worried her into insanity, and she was once more placed in the hospital. I understood that she also recovered from that attack, but some time after, the disease ao-ain recurrinsr, she took her own life at home. The 1st of June found Guiteau with his mind fully made up to do the deed.
