or otherwife j as they feldom or never fuppurate ; and when

19. Teftium tumor inparotidiu. The fympathy between fome 

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

 Clafs IV". i. 2. 7. The fwelling of the teftes, when that of 

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

 ceflive aclion ; 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 afibciations is yet very obfcure, In women a 

 fwelling of the breads often fucceeds the decline of the mumps 

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

 I. i. 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 

 fuccefTive action, and not of fynchronous aftion, 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 fliaved head for an hour or two. See Clafs II.
