“ globofam ufque erofit, abfque dolore aut fenfuum 
 Jeefione.”* 
Morcacni mentions an apoplectic patient, who 
died on the ninth day from the attack of the difeafe ; 
who was for the moft part fenfible; and who could 
defcribe, towards the laft, the feat of his pain, in 
the hind-head, and along the fpine. On opening 
the head, much water was found in the ventricles ; 
grumous blood collected, where the medulla fpinalis 
leaves the head, and many watery veficles on the 
crura of the medulla oblongata. + 
I fhould have placed little dependance on the 
collections of Scuenxrus, ¢ as moft of his authorities 
are become very obfcure, if they had not found credit 
in Bonnet’s Anatomia Praética. Sheltered by fuch a 
name, I fhall venture to extra one or two of 
them. 
Massa fpeaks of a Venetian Nobleman, who, 
though wounded in the back part of the head to 
the depth of three inches, preferved his faculties, 
and recovered completely.
