With regard to the prevalent idea of human metamorphosis we find the following: Lycanthropy is a variety of melancholia. The lycanthropes escape from their homes at night, try to make themselves like wolves, and wander among the tombs until break of day. Their countenance is pale, their eyes dull, their glance uncertain, their tongue parched, their thirst immoderate. Their members are often torn by the brambles through which they stray, and ulcers result which heal with difficulty. The treatment of this affection is the same as that of melancholia." "This was a plain and true account. The malady was combated by simple symptomatic, dietetic and sedative measures, mostly of an enlightened character, and yet during many succeeding generations, the melancholia canina was treated with fagot and rack, and scaffold and confinement in dungeons.-American journal of psychiatry, Volume 65 page 95 1909
[br[Case Hi.—R. B., female, aged 59, was admitted June 22nd. She had all the symptoms of melancholia canina. On my entering her room, she was crouched in one corner, but came towards me on her hands and feet, barking savagely. Seeing the nurse with a glass of medicine in her hand, she rushed at her. As I could make no examination, I could only judge the pulse to be over 150 per minute. On the partial subsidence of violence, she was induced to take a glass of porter with sixty grains of chloral dissolved in it. In fifty minutes, she was in a calm sleep, which lasted eight hours ; pulse 84, respirations 18 per minute. She was then willing to take support in sufficient quantity, and had porter, with forty grains of chloral dissolved in it. This produced a good night's sleep, which has continued uninterruptedly each, night, the chloral being repeated in decreasing doses to fifteen grains three times a day. She is now gradually improving, the unnatural noise not having been heard since the third day from her admission* and she now converses rationally.-British medical journal: BMJ, Volume 2 page 62 July 16th 1870
