DEAR ALLEN AMET:
This "idea" was common in Charcot's times ("Mais, dans des cas
pareils c'est toujours la chose génital, toujours, toujours, 
tourjours!");
also in contemporanean/subsequent Breuer's times ("those are always
secrets of the alcove"); and Freud quoted his Viennese friend Dr. Rodulf
[Rudolph] Chrobak (1843-1906), gynecologist, as the author of the
formula translated by Freud himself, in his "The History of the
Psycoanalytical Movement (1914): "The only prescription for such
troubles is the one well-known to us, but which we cannot prescribe.
It is: 'Penis normalis dosim repetatur!' ". I think that in Charcot's 
timelife
there was the complete formula "Rx.: Homo cum penis normalis. Repetatur"
- though I cannot remember by now its source.

Cordially,
Evandro da Nobrega [Druzz]
