1 9. Testium tumor in parotidite. The sympathy between some 

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

 Class IV. 1. 2. 7* The swelling of the testes, when that of the 

 parotis subsides, seenis to arise from the association of successive 

 action; as the tension of the penis in hydrophobia appears to 

 arise from the previous synchronous associations of the sensitive 

 motions of these parts, but the manner of the production of both 

 these associations is yet very obscure. In women a swelling of 

 the breasts often succeeds the decline of the mumps by another 

 wonderful sympathy. See Class IV. 1. 2. 7. and I. I. 2. 15. 

 In many persons a delirium succeeds the swelling of the parotis, 

 or the subsequent ones of the testes or breasts; which is some- 

 times fatal, and seems to arise from a sympathy of successive ac- 

 tion, and not of synchronous action, of the membranes of the 

 brain with those of the parotid glands. Sometimes a stupor 

 comes on instead of this delirium, which is relieved by fomenting 

 the shaved head for an hour or two. See Class II. 1. 3. 4.
