fever. He talks while sleeping and constantly crimps and pinches the
bed sheet. He talks unabashed obsceneties due to the inflammation
of the sexual organs. It is not unusual for a decent person to talk
obscenely when sick, whereas he woul d never utter such foul things
under normal circumstances. If a girl happens to be sick her parents
will not, out of embarrassment, even call the doctor to see her.
