just as, for example, also Schiller's bell and the monopoly—the monopoly includes in itself all that can happen—all diseases which are due to chemical products, poisonings without seeing anyone, then attacks of suffocation—from above it is credible—again the awful extension—they always spread me out—with these victuals one cannot get such a figure—the awful system of burdening as if there were tons of iron plate on the back—then the poisoning, it is invisible—it is shot through the window—then as if one were in ice—the pains in the back, this too belongs to the monopoly—as Schiller's bell and monopoly Forel should have paid me eighty thousand nine years ago, because I had to pass through such pain—I am in need of immediate help—monopoly is a conclusion of all innovations since 1886, chemistry productions, ventilations and sleep deprivations—a government would be forced without this to give immediate help—I affirm a note factory—even if I were not "world proprietress" the state would be compelled to bring help—as "world proprietress" I should have already fifteen years ago paid out with gentlemen through the note factory, forever, as long as I live—therefore it is such a great loss if one has to die only a year earlier—since 1886 the oleum belongs to me—all those who pass through such suffering, should be advanced, have to be advanced to the note factory, to the payment—such innovations are all comprehended in the word monopoly just as there are people who have the powder monopoly."

The sense of monopoly is again a very indistinct one. It is associated with a series of tortures. To this distress (Not) also belongs the "note factory." The patient emphasizes repeatedly that she needs immediate help. The often-mentioned "payments" are connected with "she has to be advanced to payment on account of her great suffering." The probable trend of thought should be as follows: her unheard of and unique suffering, as well as her advanced age, demand that she should once for all be given her rights, which she probably designates by the idea "monopoly." The special content of monopoly is that patient as "world proprietress" is alone entitled to manufacture bank notes. The psychological connection is probably through the sound associations Not (distress)—notes.
