For brevity's sake I will further describe his fifth state only.
"If he is placed in an electric bath, or if a magnet is placed on his head, it looks at first sight as though a complete physical cure had been effected.

All paralysis, all defect of sensibility, has disappeared.

His movements are light and active, his expression gentle and timid, but ask him where he is, and you will find that he has gone back to a boy of fourteen, that he is at St.Urbain, his first reformatory, and that his memory embraces his years of childhood, and stops short on the very day on which he had the fright from the viper.
If he is pressed to recollect the incident of the viper, a violent epileptiform crisis puts a sudden end to this phase of his personality." (Vol.IV.pp.497, 498, 499, "Proceedings of the Society for Psychical Research").
This carries us a good deal further.

Here we have not only two distinct personalities, but two distinct characters, if not three, in one body.
According to the side which is paralysed, the man is a savage reprobate or a decent modest citizen.

The man seems born again when the steel touches his right side.
