"Hysterico Vaporous Hypo Megrins," a (fictional) diagnosis for a condition in which one is unstuck in time; the patient is lost to the present even as the future and the past loom up before his half-closed eyes. This phrase appears in a poem entitled "Heroic Treatment," by a certain G.A.K., printed in Harper's New Monthly Magazine, vol. 75, Aug. 1887, p. 483.
