Summary edit

Description
English: Case D. — J.I. Specialty, lightning calculation. Boy ; high-grade ;
15 years old ; epileptic, spasms recurring monthly. Can read and write, 
and is fond of music and animals. A mathematical phenomenon ; 
has wonderful facility with numbers. Can multiply, divide, add, 
and subtract as rapidly as numbers are called. When fatigued, or 
for several hours succeeding a spasm he does this very slowly, or not 
at all, but when fresh and in good condition, can calculate very rap- 
idly, giving results almost simultaneous with the speaker's voice. 

Born at full term ; labor ordinary.
