impressions, such as touching the skin, but coming on also
spontaneously, [160]. ► The voluntary power of the extremities
was gone, and the limbs were violently agitated by spasmodic twitching
and jactitation (not by regular convulsions), alternately with short
paroxysms of tetanic spasm (opisthotonos). During the coma she still
continued to be affected with convulsive twitching and jactitation of
the limbs, alternated with short paroxysms of rapid, vibratory,
spasmodic motions of the hands and forearms, of a peculiar, though I
