  All the circumstances of Nebuchadnezzar's case, says Dr.
  Mead, agree so well with a hypochondriasis, that to me it
  appears evident the Almighty God brought this dreadful
  distemper upon him, and under its influence he ran wild into
  the fields:  then fancying himself transformed into an ox, he
  fed on grass, after the manner of cattle; and, through
  neglect of himself, his hair and nails grew to an excessive
  length, so that the latter became thick and crooked,
  resembling bird's claws.
