THE ROCKING MAN.
I)r Ferroiij a French Army surgeon, relates the case of ;i young soldier who was afflicted with a nervous complaint winch caused him to rock unceasingly when asleep with a perfectly rhythmical movement at the rate of 32" to 33 times a- minute. This is attributed to the custom of rocking an infant in its cradle. In some nervous people a liking for this rhythmic movement persists in later life, and leads to the habit of tapping the ground with the foot or swinging in a cluiir. "
