Dr. A. C. Bary, specialist in nervous diseases, stated that he saw defendant on the day after the accident and frequently since that date up to the previous day. Witness had known plaintiff before he came to Shanghai, and at the time of his arrival here, and had always found him a very healthy, merry and bright young man. He was now suffering from traumatic neurosis, his case being a very- characteristic one. In describing the accident, he told witness that he saw a light before his eyes and was struck through the whole body, and all at once he developed a very severe headache. Later he complained of loss of memory, which was becoming more pronounced, and now complained that he found it increasingly difficult to read and remember. When he called upon witness on the day after the accident, he seemed a changed man, being dull and uncommunicative, whereas formerly he had been an exceedingly bright fellow, always: ready with a joke. Traumatic neurosis was a chronic and persistent disease, and must continue for some time even under the best conditions and treatment.
On the question of his fee of Tls. 100, witness said he did not press for payment. "I never ask my patients for money," he added. "It goes against my will, and I never write bills."
