or other wile ; as they feldom or never fuppurate ; and when 

 fuppuration happens, the matter produced is not venereal. Trea-

19. Tejlium tumor inparotidite. The fympathy between fome 

 parts about the throat and the genitals has been treated of in 

 Oafs IV. 1. 2. 7. The fwelling of the teftes, when that of 

 the parotis fubfides, feems to arife from the aftociation of fuo 

 cefiive action \ as the tenfion of the penis in hydrophobia appears 

 to arife from the previous fynchronous aflbciations of the fenfi- 

 tive motions of thefe parts; but the manner of the production 

 of both thefe aflbciations is yet very obfcure. In wonien a 

 fwelling of the breads often fucceeds the decline of the mumps 

 by another wonderful fympathy. See Clafs IV. 1. 2. 7. and 

 I. 1. 2. 15. In many perfons a delirium fucceeds the fwelling 

 of the parotis, or the fubfequent ones of the teftes or breads % 

 which is fometimes fatal, and feems^to arife from a fympathy of 

 fucceflive action, and not of fynchronous action, of the mem- 

 branes of the brain with thofe of the parotid glands. Sometimes 

 a ftupor comes on inftead of this delirium, which is relieved by 

 fomenting the (haved head for an hour or two. See Clafs II
