Not illustrated. 1823 edition. Excerpt: ...The stiffness, however, increases, he finds it impossible to turn-bis head on either side without turning his body: he cannot open his jaws without pain, and he has some difficulty in swallowing. A spastic and aching traction now suddenly darts at times towards the ensiform cartilage, and thence strikes through to the back, augmenting all the previous symptoms to such a degree that the patient is no longer able to support himself, and is compelled to take to his bed. The pathognomic symptom in this variety is the spasm under the sternum which is perpetually increasing in vehemence; and, instead of returning, as at first, once in two or three hours, returns now every ten or fifteen minutes; immediately after which all the host of concomitant contractions renew their violence and with additional severity: Military Surgery, p. 247. the head is forcibly retracted, and the jaws snap with a fixation that rarely allows them to be afterwards opened wide enough to admit the little finger. This vehemence of paroxysms may not, perhaps, last longer than for a few minutes or even seconds: but the spastic action prevails so considerably, even through the intervals, that it is difficult for an attendant to bend the contorted limbs into any thing like an easy or reclined position. The breathing is quick and laborious, and the pulse though calmer and less hurried, small and irregular. The face is sometimes pale but oftener flushed, the tongue stiff and torpid but not much furred; the whole countenance evinces the most marked signs of deep distress, and swallowing is pertinaciously abstained from, as accompanied with great difficulty and often producing a sudden renewal of the paroxysms. The last stage of the disease is truly pitiable. The spasms return every...

This is an OCR edition with typos. Excerpt from book: GENUS I. ECPHRONIA. B1SEASED PERCEPTION, WITH LITTLE DERANGEMENT OF THE JUDGMENT, OCCASIONALLY SHIFTING INTO DISEASED JUDGMENT WITH LITTLE DERANGEMENT OF THE PERCEPTION J DISTURBING THE MIND GENERALLY; DIMINISHED SENSIBILITY; IRREGULAR REMISSIONS. The generic term Ecphronia, in the Greek writers atppmi or tfrvni, is derived from ity " extra mentem" ? literally " out of one's mind," as tptyyn is - mentis compos" or " in one's mind." It is here used as among the Greeks, generically alone, in the ordinary sense of insanity; and is designed to include the two following: species: 1. ECFHRONIA MELANCHOLIA. MELANCHOLY. Si - MANIA. MADNESS. Each of these species has been regarded by many nosologists as forming a genus of itself, for which there seems to be no just reason. Dr. Cullen has thus arranged them in his synopsis, but ha given them a different arrangement, and a very subordinate place in his Practice of Physic, so that in the two works, he is, in this respect, altogether at variance with himself. In both, his order is entitled vesaniae, which, in the first, includes fatuity, mania, melancholy and sleep-disturbance, (oneirodynia) as distinct genera: !mt. in the last, takes for its genera delirium. fatuity, and oneirodynia. He contemplates delirium, moreover, as of two kinds, one combined with fever, and one without; the latter, he tells us, is what we name insanity; and under this latter kind alone, this apyrectic delirium or insanity, running synonymously with the present genu ecphronia, he proceeds to treat of melancholy and mania as species or subdivisions of it: throwing back the other kind of delirium to the class of fevers, as unconnected with the subject before him. So that, properly speaking, Dr. Cullen's order of vesaniae should run parallel with th...<
