OPIUM.
MIND.
►
Emotional. ► Delirium.
►► *Delirium, [71], [169].
► Sometimes delirium, [348]. ►
Delirium and rage, [17]. ► Raging delirium, with distortion of the
mouth, [60]. [Caused by applying
Opium to the temples. -Hahnemann.] ►
*Violent delirium, with red face, glistening eyes, and great physical
activity, [62]. ► Furious delirium (fourth day), [267]. ►
He rolls about the floor in delirium, burning with anger, threatens,
does not recognize his friends, with swollen head and face, reddish-blue
swollen lips, with protruding, inflamed eyes, [90]. ► *While
delirious he talked about all sorts of things with open eyes,
and afterwards remembered them only as in a dream, [63]. ► Talked
of his business, cast up columns of figures, and started up at any noise
(after three hours); much better (after six hours), [289]. [10.] ► *Her laudanum was left off for three
days, and, in addition to the other symptoms, she
appeared to see the most frightful animals and other objects,
[177]. ►
Delirium lasted twenty-four hours, [191].
► His joyfulness and mental bliss
increased until he became irrational and delirious, [90]. [From large doses. -Hahnemann.] ► Evidently delirious, but, by persevering
in our endeavors, he became capable of giving very pertinent answers,
though he uttered them with much labor and difficulty (after half an
hour), [122]. ► Made delirious attempts to resist any
treatment, but soon relapsed into unconsciousness, [321]. ►
Delirium with the spasms, [290]. ► *He said many disconnected things, and pointed
with his fingers to masked people who seemed to approach him.
At one time he broke into loud laughter; at another he started up in
affright on account of fancied swords em, who threatened to stab him;
became angry if any one argued with him or thought him delirious;
however, he blamed himself while in delirium for his folly, [90]. [From Opium given fro
dysentery-like diarrhœa. -Hahnemann. Render “fechtern”
swordsmen. -Hughes.] ► *She was tormented
while awake with an apparent vision of ghosts, spectres, and chimeras,
that constantly collected about her bed and distressed her very much,
while she talked deliriously, [90].
[This always happened whenever Opium was taken as a palliative for her
ailments-palpitation, vomiting, hiccough, cardialgia, colic, trembling,
or convulsive movements. -Hahnemann. Revised by Hughes.] ► The moment of ecstasy usually commences
in about three-quarters of an hour; he then becomes an altered being;
the expression of countenance is horribly wild; he exhibits his delight
in a thousand different ways-he gesticulates, he talks. Some of them
compose excellent verses, and address the bystanders in excellent
language; at last they return to their homes, each possessing some
imaginary bliss which “the dull reality of life” could never
give. Those who encounter them divert themselves at their expense, and
make them chatter nonsense; they are, however, too happy to pay
attention to anything but their own reveries. Even the loud laugh and
the hootings which accompany them home produce no effect; they are
wrapped in an elysium, from which they are only to be awakened by the
miserable reaction which must, sooner or later, recall them to
existence, [186]. ► An agreeable reverie, at the end of
three-quarters of an hour, or an hour at most, never fails to animate
these automatons, causing them to throw themselves into a thousand
different postures, but always extravagant and always merry. This is the
moment when the scene becomes most interesting; all the actors are
happy, and each retires home in a total state of irrationality, but
likewise in the entire and full enjoyment of happiness not to be
procured by reason. Disregarding the ridicule of those they meet, who
divert themselves by making them talk absurdly, each imagines and looks
and feels himself possessed of whatever he wishes. The reality of
enjoyment often gives less satisfaction, [350].
[20.] ►
Hot, anxious, and intoxicated; she talked of all sorts of things; took
her words back at one time; started up in fright; at another angrily
seized the hands of those about her, [90].
[Effects of Opium administered for indescribable pains, which threatened
to end in convulsions. -Hahnemann.] ►
Intoxication, [22], [74]; (ninth day), [225]. ►
Opium-eaters are always indolent and intoxicated, [10]. ►
Intoxication and vertigo after sleep, [90].
► A kind of intoxication that
prevents his keeping upon his legs, [57].
► Feeling of intoxication on waking
from a nap (eighth day), [235]. ► Intoxicated appearance (after two hours),
[175]. ►
Appearance of most profound intoxication (after half an hour), [122]. ►
When taken in larger doses than those which cause liveliness it causes
intoxication, [90]. ► A half intoxicated and excited condition,
so that I came near being run over by a carriage, and at another time of
running into a horse, though I had seen it coming from some distance
(second day), [115]. [30.] ►
Dizzy intoxication; he reels to and fro, [89].
► Great excitation, [338]. ►
Reeling to and fro, with dull, stupid expression of countenance (after
two hours), [175]. ► Considerable state of excitement (after
two hours and a half), [291]. ► It appeared to his attendants that an
excited state of mind remained for some days afterwards, [336]. ►
*Confusion of mind, [27],
[36]. ►
Mind in a state of great confusion; at one moment she was sensible of
her crime, called for assistance; at another she resisted the means used
to save her (after one hour), [127].
► Conscious of being possessed of two
persons of another self besides his real self, the Opium man does things
which the real self considers wrong, and it is not always sure which
will conquer the other, [331]. ► Frightful imagery, [27]. ► The
patient was susceptible of the excitant rather than the soporific
quality of the drug, and his emotional nature quickly responded to it in
manifestations of passional excitement, which threatened alternately
self-destruction and injury to others, [317].
[40.] ►
I made my way home as fast as possible, dreading at every step that I
should commit some extravagance, [160].
► He acts absurdly, [75]. ► *The
patient has visions, [66].
► In walking I was hardly sensible
that my feet touched the ground; it seemed as if I slid along the ground
impelled by some invisible agent, and that my blood was composed of some
ethereal fluid which rendered my body lighter than air. The most
extraordinary visions of delight filled my brain all night, [160]. ►
He seems to be flying or floating in the air, and to whirl with
everything about him, [82]. ► Sensation as if he had been taken to
heaven; vivid, lovely, fantasies float before his vision like a waking
dream, which the slumber drives away, [64].
► Lovely fantasies, far superior to
any known happiness in one who had previously been tortured by pains, [18a]. ►
Much confused for a long time with involuntary turns of laughter, [346]. ►
He describes his sensations “as the faint, exquisite music of a
dream,” but he had only pleasurable feelings when his eyes were
open; if they were closed they vanished. It appeared to him as if
external objects only were acted on by the imagination, and magnified
into images of pleasure. In walking he was hardly sensible of his feet
touching the ground; it seemed as if he slid along the street impelled
by some invisible agent, and that his blood was composed of some
ethereal fluid which rendered his body lighter than air, [187]. ► I had
no longer the same pleasure when I closed my eyes which I had when they
were open; it appeared to me as if it was only external objects which
were acted on by the imagination and magnified into images of pleasure;
in short, it was “the faint, exquisite music of a dream” in a
waking moment, [160]. [50.] ►
Not sleepy, but so quiet that he seemed in heaven, [32]. [From a moderate dose taken on account of
intolerable pains from stone. -Hahnemann.] ►
Constant quiet contentment of mind, as if in heaven, [43]. ►
Without pain, he passed the whole night in the most extreme contentment
of mind, [87]. [He had taken a
grain the evening before on account of a distressing pain. -Hahnemann.] ► Not seldom there is an unusual condition
of self-satisfaction and an unusual quiet of mind, [24]. ► The
most agreeable sensation that allows her to think, with mental rest and
forgetfulness of all trouble, [87].
► He was inoffensive and even amiable
in his deportment, and employed himself constantly in the daytime in
drawing what he called maps of the different a apartments in heaven,
which, he said, he visited every night, [349].
► The mental activity of Opium is
more like a dream without sleep, [90].
► Mental quiet, [78]. ► Under
the influence of emotions, strong sensations, and any particularly
strong attention and exertion of the mind, the effects appear later than
usual, are less in degree, and of shorter duration. If it so happened
that the cause which disturbed my mind was removed, then all the effects
would almost instantly make their appearance and take their usual
course, [130]. ► Calm, pale, deathly (after two hours), [256]. [60.]
► Uttered three or four distinct but
feeble wails or cries, the first sounds since admission into hospital
(third day), [256]. ► A faint cry or whine would escape the
child when extreme measures were employed to arouse it, [332]. ►
Opium-eaters are inconstant; they often promise what they soon refuse to
abide by (every one avoids them and wishes to have nothing to do with
them), [10]. ► Moods. ►
While smoking they are loquacious at first, and the conversation highly
animated; but as the opium takes effect the conversation droops, and
they frequently burst out into loud laughter from the most trifling
causes, or without any apparent cause at all, unless it be from the
train of thought passing through their excited imaginations. The next
phase presents a vacancy of countenance, with pallor and shrinking of
the features, so that they resemble people convalescing from fever. A
dead silence precedes a deep sleep, which continues from half an hour to
three or four hours. In this state the pulse becomes much slower,
softer, and smaller than before the debauch. Such is the general process
almost invariably observed among the Chinese. But with the Malays it is
often very different; instead of the placidity that ushers in the
profound sleep, the Malays frequently become outrageously violent and
quarrelsome, and lives are occasionally lost in these frightful orgies, [212]. ►
Audacious ferocity, [75]. ► Cruelty, ferocity, like a wild beast, [53]. [When Opium, given in large doses
to produce increased courage and vigor, has a palliative effect on the
weak and timorous, it causes audacity, desperation, rage, anger. This
palliative primary action gives the Turks, who are excited by Opium, an
almost irresistible power at the beginning of a battle; but in few hours
this changes to the greatest cowardice and stupefaction, when they are
more easily beaten than any other nation. -Hahnemann.] ► Rage, [60].
► A first he was in an excited mood
for an hour and a quarter, during which the mouth was frequently
distorted, as in risus sardonicus, [126].
► Criminals (in India) lose their
fear of death and go courageously to their execution, [90]. [Symptoms 69, 70, 71, 72, 73, 84, 86, 89,
1881 represent palliative, primary action of Opium in those who are
despondent and depressed. -Hahnemann.] ►
Great strength, courage, contentment with himself, [48]. [70.] ► Sensation of courage with activity, as if
he could forcibly accomplish whatever was required without dread or
fear, with a peculiar sensation of lustiness (though lasting only a few
minutes), (after a quarter of an hour), followed by dulness of the head,
etc., [2]. ►
Courage, fearlessness, great-heartedness, [1].
► Undaunted in danger, [75]. ► Opium
causes in those fearing surgical operations courage and endurance, [99]. ►
The Malays are confident that opium-smoking inspires them with
preternatural courage and bodily strength; it is, therefore, resorted to
whenever any desperate act is in contemplation, [212]. ► Loss
of courage, [1]. ► *Feeling of fear (second day), [115]. ►
*Fear (after eight, and twelve hours), [1]. ►►
*Fear of impending death, [203].
► *Fearful and frightened, [90], [99].
[80.] ►
*A sensation of apprehension (after half an hour, third day),
[113]. ►
A woman suffering from sad thoughts was wonderfully relieved by it; her
grief disappeared for some time, [6].
[In consequence of the law of opposites this acted as a palliative, and
she was obliged, in order to obtain relief, not only to continue the use
of Opium, but also to increase the dose, till at least in a week she
took one and a half ounces of Opium. -Hahnemann.] ► *He started at the least noise, and a fly upon
any part of his body was a burden to him, [348]. ► One
and a half grains of solid Opium, taken every half hour, or one grain
every hour, or one and a half grains taken every hour and a half, or
every two hours, has insensibly brought on a happy humor, increased
vigor, activity, and unusual watchfulness, which I perceived after
having taken about two, three, or four grains, and which continued if
from time to time, I repeated the same procedure for several days and
nights, without the least inclination to sleep, without tiredness, or
any impaired function, except dryness in the mouth and fauces, and
thirst, occasionally gripings and costiveness, [131]. ►
Cheerfulness, courage, contentment, increased vigor, [34]. ► She
felt very lively and cheerful, and was capable of doing any quantity of
work. She had severe family afflictions, but was not at all distressed
by them while under the influence of Opium, though she felt them
severely at other times, [17]. ► Lively, inclined to work, fearless,
courageous, [10]. ► If I was in high spirits and very active,
if I walked or took such exercise as made me warm and perspire, the
effects made their appearance considerably sooner, were less in degree,
and much less in duration, [130]. ► She was unable to get in any other way
complete rest and happiness of mind, [51].
► It makes the opium-eaters (who are
usually sad and stupid) cheerful; they carouse sing amorous songs, laugh
much, and make all sorts of gestures; this pleasant excitement of mind
and emotion lasts an hour, after which they become angry and rave, and
finally become again sad and weeping, till at last they fall asleep and
soon return to their ordinary condition, [10].
[90.] ►
Increase of vigor, confidence, and cheerfulness (if the dose was within
2 grains), [130]. ► Elevation of spirits and watchfulness
remained sometimes a few hours, at other times the whole remaining part
of the day (after 2 or 3 grains), [130].
► Remained cheerful for two hours,
and then was overcome by a violent drowsiness, when he took 30 drops
more and was immediately roused from drowsiness, [141]. ►
Joyous mood (after half an hour), [113a].
► I found myself, or at least
imagined myself, more alert and sprightly than before (after half an
hour), [30b]. ► In persons accustomed to it, it produces
a high degree of animation, which the Theriaki
(opium-eaters) represent as the acme of happiness, [192]. ► It
causes for a time forgetfulness of the troubles of the soul, and
produces ecstasy and refreshing quiet of mind, [90]. ► The
effects upon her spirits were most exhilarating; she felt lively and
cheerful, and could accomplish almost any amount of household work, [281]. ►
Uncommonly merry and much inclined to noise, [182]. ► So
exhilarated as to grow careless of occupation and rather inclined to
indulge in an excess of gayety (after a short time), [141]. [100.]
► Produced an enlivening effect which
enabled him to prosecute his study, [141].
► Very good humor (second day), [115]. ►
At first ecstasy followed by sadness and despondency, [25]. ►
Contentment, [1]. ► Taciturnity, [18]. ► He
became taciturn (after the smallest dose), [1]. ►
Excessive anxiety, [68]. ► Unusual sensation of anxiety (after two
hours), [115a]. ► Anxiety, [203]. ►
Anxiety, [74]. [Omit Tralles.
-Hughes.] [110.] ► Transient attacks of anxiety, with short,
oppressed respiration and trembling of the arms and hands, [2]. ►
Melancholy, [18]. ► Despondency (fifth day), [113a]. ► On
waking, depression, [206]. ► Depression of spirits, in the afternoon
(after three drops), [6]. ► Depression of spirits (eighth day), [118]; (after three-quarters of an
hour), [129a]. ► Pale and dispirited, next morning, [160]. ►
Sadness, [1], [117]. ► Sad
mood (first and second days), [235].
► *Sullen mood, [38]. [120.] ► Hopeless, morose mood, fretfulness (after
eight, and twelve hours), [1]. ► Very morose, angry at everything without
reason (fourth day), [235]. ► Lamentations and howling during the first
hours, [1]. ►
Screaming, [199]. ► Violent screaming, immediately, [139]. ►
Moaning (after two hours), [276]. ► Slight groaning (after three hours), [168]. ►
Weeping mood, [110a]. ► Cries incessantly, [163]. ► Much
weeping during the first night, [292].
[130.] ►
She is so vexed about a pain that she weeps, [1]. ► Fretful
and cross when roused (after four hours), [255].
► *Fretfulness (second day), [115a]. ►
Very fretful (fifth day), [115]. ► Querulous state, [176]. ►
*Irritability (third day), [115].
► Mistrustful, [1]. ►
Appeared jealous and afraid of the people around (second day), [144]. ►
Evidence of irregular nervous action, slight irritability of temper
whenever disturbed, [322]. ► Indifference to pain and pleasure, [75]. [140.]
► Great indifference (after two
drops), [103]. ► The unfortunate drown their cares and
troubles in an indescribably pleasurable feeling of indifference to all
around, [212]. ► Calm indifference to earthly things; she
cared for nothing on account of the ecstasy of fantasy, [64]. ►
Alternating state of sullen grief and of cheerfulness, [1]. ►
Intellectual. ► More
inclination for work and greater facility in it than usual, [119a]. ►
Mental activity, [76]. ► My faculties seemed enlarged, [160]. ►
When under its operation his intellect was more brilliant, his language
more eloquent, and his talent for writing more easy than in the former
and healthy periods of his life. His affections were at the same time
kind and benevolent, and he felt no disposition to quarrel, as persons
often do who take ardent spirits in excess, [348]. ► When
under the influence of opium, he seems to others to be in his normal
condition; but a little intercourse with him shows his mind to be not
only clear and active, but filled with gigantic schemes and theories,
the realization of which seems to him quite natural and easy; his
faculties are remarkably keen, and his power of expression wonderfully
terse and convincing. As soon as the effect begins to subside (as it
does after sleeping), he is depressed and melancholy, which soon reaches
an extreme state of suicidal depression, in which the world seems
terribly dull, and he feels driven to evil spirits. This condition is
brought on by occasional attempts to resist his destructive habit; but
he cannot endure abstinence long. As soon as he takes his accustomed
dose of Morphia, he is at once changed from a cringing desperate
creature into a spirited and energetic individual, [331]. ►
Occupied with sublime contemplation the whole night, without sleep, [32]. [150.]
► It makes the senses active and
disposes to earnest and arduous labor, [95].
► It dissipates all inclination to
sleep, increases the imagination and memory in the most wonderful
manner, so that he passes the whole night in profound meditation; at
daybreak he slumbers a few hours; he is unable to recollect all that he
has thought about during the night, [70].
[The mental and emotional symptoms of Opium cannot be so well separated
as those of other drugs, when the former are placed at the beginning
with the head symptoms, the latter after all the other symptoms, because
in Opium the two are commonly associated. When Opium is used for the
palliation of pain, of spasm in the opposite condition of mind and
disposition as in S. 57, 81, 86, 88, 96, 145, 150, or for the prevention
of natural sleep (in the latter case most certainly homœopathically),
it usually causes in their stead a mental ecstasy and emotional
excitement, a very transient primary effect. This ecstasy and excitement
are frequently like the internal clearness of somnambulism
(clairvoyance.) -Hahnemann.] ► The
powers of my mind still remained so perfect as to enable me to examine
the state of my pulse, which was strong and full, [141]. ►
Profuse flow of ideas, with joyfulness, [1].
► A certain hastiness at work; his
thoughts also are more rapid than usual, [119].
► Disinclination for work (eighth
day), [118]. ►
Disinclination for his ordinary work (after two drops), [103]. ►
Obscuration and weakness of mind; illusion, as if the eyes were four
times larger than usual, [82]. [Omit “Undsein
Kœrper. -Hughes.] ► *Dulness of mind;
short anxious respiration with great heaving of the chest; the eyes give
out, and are full of water, [62].
► Slight confusion of thought (within
an hour), [133]. [160.] ►
Loss of ideas, with inability to think, [117].
► Every attempt at persistent thought
was ineffectual (first day), [113].
► Inability and disinclination for
work in the afternoon (after three drops), [106]. ►
General deterioration of all the mental faculties, [212]. ► The
power of the will is overcome by the merest trifle, [78]. ► It
diminishes the power of the will over the muscles (in strong people),
causes heaviness of the head and great weakness, [90]. [Opium diminishes the power of the will
over the muscles only in its secondary action, when it paralyses
entirely, but in its primary action it exercises it; if this primary
action be interrupted by stupefaction and stupid sleep, there may be
twitching in one or another limb during this sleep. -Hahnemann.] ► Voluntary powers suspended, [172]. ►
Mental weakness, [38]. ► The mental powers disappear, [18]. ►
All the mental powers, all the sensibilities are dull, [25]. [170.] ► *Dulness of the head; he has no mental grasp for
anything, and cannot comprehend the sense of what he is reading,
[82]. ►
Dulness, indifference to external objects, [30]. ► Dulness
and imbecility, [40]. ► Dulness of mind, [19], [75].
► Dulness of sense (after eight, and
twelve hours), [1], [81]. ►
Dulness of sense, insensibility; he is scarcely conscious of his
existence, although he answers quite appropriately, [82]. ►
Insensibility to shame and to the more refined sensibilities, [7b]. ►
Nearly rational, though when left to herself her mind seems to wander
(second day), [273]. ► Capable of being aroused, and answered
questions, but quickly relapsed into deep solemnity (after twenty-six
hours and a half), [272]. ► Memory. ►
Great forgetfulness (second day), [115].
[180.] ►
Forgetfulness, [212]. ► He replied slowly to questions, as if he
forgot his words, [292]. ► His ideas not easily collected (after
eleven hours), [245]. ► Chronic loss of memory, [29]. ► Loss
of memory, [18], [75]; (after ten minutes), [135]. ► Loss
of memory for several weeks, [98].
► Loss of memory, [20]. [To S. 23, 171, 172, 173, 183, 184, 185,
186, 189, 287. When these conditions have become constant and persistent
after the long and repeated use of Opium, they are akin to a chronic
disease and a kind of paralysis of the mental organs that may indeed be
incurable; 183, 184, 185, 186, 189 are secondary effects. -Hahnemann.] ► The memory and mental powers generally
became greatly impaired, attended by a miserable depression of spirits, [177]. ►
Memory continued weak, [169]. ► Frequent weakness of memory, [39]. [From the frequent use of Opium.] [190.] ►
He does not recognize his nearest relatives nor familiar objects, [1]. ►
Comprehension wavering, [82]. ► Insensibility. ►► *Complete insensibility so that it was
impossible, either by pulling the hair or pinching the skin, to excite
any wincing or signs of uneasiness, nor was any effect produced by the
sudden affusion of cold water, [197].
► *Insensible state, [188], [323],
[342], [345], [347],
etc. ►► *Insensibility, accompanied
with a complete apoplectic respiration (after three hours), [135]. ►
*Complete immobility and insensibility, [148]. ► *Complete
insensibility, [156], [172]. ►
*Complete insensibility with her eyes open, etc. (after two
hours), [143]. ► *Great insensibility to external impressions,
[332]. ►
Insensibility, soon, [144]; (after
five hours), [202], [221], [265];
(after two hours), [276], [277]. [200.] ►
Perfectly insensible (after two hours), [205],
[340]. ►
Totally insensible, and to an ordinary observer, lifeless (after six
hours), [207]. ► Totally insensible (after fifteen
minutes), [208], [211], [316],
[335], [339]. ►
Perfectly insensible and could not be roused, [341]. ►
Appeared completely insensible to everything around her, and would not
answer questions (after five hours and a half), [143]. ►
Apparently dead (after four hours and three-quarters), [219]. ►
Insensible and motionless (after four hours), [219]. ►
Insensible of what was passing around her (after six hours), [124]. ►
Almost total absence of sensibility to external impressions, [311]. ►
*Insensible and comatose (after one hour and three-quarters),
[185]. [210.]
► Insensible, and in strong
convulsions; convulsions followed each other in quick succession, with
comatose intervals (after one hour), [319].
► Insensible, and could not be
aroused by shaking (after twelve hours), [253].
► Could not by any means be aroused, [179], [238];
(after six hours), [249]; (after
four or five hours), [285]. ► Could not be aroused by loud calling or
shaking, or by the dashing of cold water on her face, [284]. ► Was
aroused with great difficulty, [243].
► Answered no questions, even when
put in the loudest voice (after four hours), [201]. ►
Insensible, though capable of being aroused (after half an hour), [227]. ►
Slightly diminished sensibility (after 2 or 3 grains), [131]. ►
Scarcely sensible (after a quarter of an hour), [282]. ►
Almost perfect insensibility (after twenty or thirty minutes), [209]. [220.]
► Almost insensible for some hours, [193]. ►
Almost insensible to external impressions, and when aroused by violent
shaking and loud speaking, immediately sand back into a comatose sleep
(after one hour and a half), [273].
► Partial insensibility; he could be
roused by shouting into his ear, but could not be made to answer any
question; when not continuously aroused, he fell off immediately into a
heavy stertorous sleep; between two assistants he was from time to time
dragged along the corridors, making little effort to support himself,
and when allowed to sit down, he was continuously aroused by being
flapped on the face with a wet towel, which would cause him to open his
eyes momentarily; but he became more completely narcotized, so that
towards morning he seemed to be in imminent danger, [321]. ►
Entire loss of intellectual faculties, of motion and perception, [168]. ►
The child lay unconscious and insensible, [204].
► Sudden loss of consciousness, with
blue face and contraction of the upper extremities, [269]. ► She
is unconscious of what is transpiring about her, and gives no sign of
consciousness; the joints are supple, and all the muscles relaxed, [56]. ►
Complete asphyxia; not the slightest evidence of sensibility could be
elicited by the application of various tests to different portions of
the cutaneous surface or to Schneiderian membrane (after two hours); yet
scarce a trace of the effects of the poison was observable (after
twenty-four hours), [250]. ► No the slightest indication of
consciousness was elicited by passing the finger across the naked eye,
by violent shaking, or by the application of ice-water, in the form of
affusion, to the head (after eight hours), [315]. ► Lying
on the floor in a state of unconsciousness, after some time; total
insensibility (after four hours and a half), [259]. [230.]
► The patient seemed momentarily
threatened with apoplexy, having all the symptoms except stupor (after a
quarter of an hour); this was followed by complete insensibility and
death (after three quarter of an hour), [140].
► Nearly complete narcotism, [243]. ►
Narcotism complete (after four hours), [294].
► She was quite unconscious, and had
lost the power of swallowing. After remaining in this comatose state for
upwards of nine hours, she revived, the face became natural, the pulse
steady, the power of swallowing returned, she was able to recognize her
daughter, and, in a thick voice, to give an account of the mistake she
had made. This state lasted about five minutes, the torpor then
returned; she again sank into profound coma, and died in fourteen hours
after the poison had been taken, [344].
► Most profound coma (after three
hours), [305], [308]. ►
Profound coma (after eighteen hours), [226],
[168], [274], (after four hours), [275], and many others. ►
Profound coma for three hours (after eight hours), [315]. ►
