slow “u- snange Dlwe that rewmhlu lM-nlh. rigid. An old professor oceasionally had catalsptic seizures, during which he would suddenly cease talking, retain the pOsi- tion hold at the time of attack, and after a few moments go on with his lerture, tatally unaware of the fact that a slip of his conscious life had been snatched from him. His lecture was always resumed at exactly the point at which he left off. The appearance of a subject of catalepsy is almost precisely like that of death. The skin is very pale, and generally of a waxen hue; the surface of the body is 001d, generally from two to four dcgreé’s below the normal temperature of the boa? ; the heart's sounds are scarcely audible, while the fact that the patient breathes can only be discovered by the closest observation. In cases of irue hysteria and ecstasy the breathing is very perceptible. If a leg be placed up above the body it will remain there an indefinite length of time ; if an arm be extended at right angles from the body it will retain its position for several moments, and per- haps for an hour or more. This parti- cular muscular condition is peculiar to catalepsy. An old-time physician relates an instance where the patient became cata- leptic just as she was putting a cup of tea to her mouth. It is not reported that any mishap occurred, and she finished the beverage at the conclusion of the attack. A subject of this complaint in Bellevue hospital remained upon his back for a considerable time (the limbs were placed in position by attendants), with both arms and one leg raised high in the air. He was unconscious during the entire time. I had a young married lady under my professional care some time ago. whose case at the beginning opened up in a comical way. She had been run down and was nervous for some time, and one dark, stormy night, about bed-time, her whole body suddenly became fixed and rigid. Her husband, in his fright, raised her right arm directly in front of her body in such a way that the fixed arm and fingers pointed directly at him. The white, ghostly face and npraised arm of justice were too much for him. In a few seconds of time he recalled the sins of his youth and several others he had com- mitted since his marriage to the woman before him, and with one terrifiedlmk he fled from the house and appeared at my office with his eyes as large as young sugar bowls, and his hair standing up all over his head like a ne W feathered duster. Under appropriate treatment the lady re- covered, and, more than that, her hus- band has since become one of the most obedient and dutiful of men ; for he has a vague, undefined impression that the hand of heaven has something to do with that case, and he has kept his toes straight up to the line of husbandly duty ever since. One of the principal causes of this difficulty is an inherited nervous temperament, which predisposes one to nervous disease. Most subjects have re- latives that are afflicted with hysteria, epilepsy, or insanity. Most of the cases met'with are women, and the disease is developed most friquently at about the time of publicity. Fright, anger, and grief are often exciting causes. When Covent Garden theatre was last burned down a young girl in St. Mary’s hospital awoke suddenly and saw the fire. She was greatly excited all night, and the next morning she had a Citalcptic fit. Nan Sweiten tells the story of a woman who was roasting chestnuts in a frying- pan, and kept continually stirring them to keep them from scorching. While doing this she was seized with catilepsy. While watching her she vomited tWo worms, when the catalepsy passed 06 and she had no return of the disease. Cata- lepsy and epilepsy may interchange, and cases are on record of one disease taking the place of the other. In olden times it is altogether probable that subjects of catalepsy were but too frequently buried alive. A mistake of that kind could scarcely happen now", but the application of the mirror to the mouth for the pur- pose of detecting moisture ; the placing of the hot iron to the flash to determine whethera blister can be made, or the ligature of a finger or toe, and the know- ledge obtainad as to whether the circula- tion continuesâ€"these are means that should always be employed in doubtful cases. I could point you to a lady now in our midst who was carried to the come- tery while under the influence of this dis- ease, and only recovered consciousness as she was being lowered into the grave. The last test mentioned would certainly have determined her true condition.

The old proverb is certainly true in the case of Dr. Pierce’s “Pleasant Purgative Pellets,” which are little, sugar-wrapped parcels, scarcely larger than mustard seeds, containing as much cathartic power as is done up in the biggest, most repul- sive-looking pill.
