7. Apoplexy followed by delirium, continuing for a fortnight, 

 might cease upon the occurrence of a cutaneous eruption. 



8. Tic douloureux of the sciatic nerve may succeed to the cure 

 of a prodigious cutaneous eruption by external applications; this 

 disease in the nerve might be intense for a time, and cease upon a 

 return of the disease of the skin; it may return when the disease of 

 the skin has again ceased, and be again suspended by pregnancy, 

 and the offices of suckling, &c. 



9. Convulsions, repeated at short intervals for a week, in a child 

 may cease entirely upon the occurrence of a considerable sedematous 

 swelling of one arm. 



10. A violent pain in the stomach, occurring in the form of two 

 paroxysms a day for many years, each paroxysm ending spon- 

 taneously by vomiting, may be suspended during seven months of 

 pregnancy, and return a fortnight after premature labour at this period. 



11. Excessive sensibility of the retina, producing violent pain 

 under an exposure even to a moderate light, may continue for years 

 and bid defiance to remedies, and finally cease under a spontaneous 

 chronic diarrhoea. 



12. Sense of fluctuations and noises, as of waterfalls, in the head, 

 sometimes attended with irregular fits of insanity, may cease upon 

 the occurrence of temporary diabetes, or a most profuse secretion 

 of urine, continuing riot more than two or three days. The same 

 disorder of the head may continue for months in the same subject, 

 and cease in the same manner in two or three distinct attacks. 



13. A catarrhal disease of the bronchiae, attended with an ex- 

 pectoration of perhaps a pint and a half of mucus* in twenty-four 

 hours, may succeed to the cure of an extensive and inveterate 

 cutaneous disease of the back. 



14. Veitigo and pain in the bead may alternate for days, with a 

 spitting of blood from the lungs for weeks or months. The spitting 

 of blood having ceased, the subject may become mad, and finally 

 die of apoplexy. 



15. The instances of vicarious disease from the suppression of 

 the catamenia form a numerous and well-known class, to the familiar 

 examples of which it is unnecessary to add. 



16. Vertigo might cease upon the occurrence of hydro-thorax ; 

 this latter disease may cease under an enormous swelling of the 

 legs, and this latter terminate in a prodigious secretion of urine. 

 This order may be observed in three attacks, and the subject finally 

 die of apoplexy. 



17. Fever with delirium and a pulse of lit) may continue for 

 six days, and the patient effectually resisting the administration of 

 a single mtdicine, may from that time have had no evacuation from 

 the bowels; at this time a .diarrhoea occurs, the patient may have 

 fourteen or fifteen stools in as many hours, the fever may immediately 

 abate, the tongue become clean, the delirium cease, and the patient 

 may be in every respect convalescent in two days after the occur? 

 rence of the diarrhoea.
