misplaced words, calling his head his foot, his arm his leg, and
misnaming the things he required, though ludicrously unconscious of his
perpetual misnomers. It was several days ere he could converse without
calling something by a wrong name. On the third day he could speak with
tolerable distinctness, but thickly, like a person with quinsy, and the
throat and tongue were painfully dry, the glands of the mouth not yet
fulfilling their natural functions, [201].
► For the most part dumb; he
expresses his wish by pointing to things, [25].
► Dumb, [13], [29],
[176]; dumb and answers nothing, [23]. [With S. 264. -Hughes.]

Feeling of dryness in the right
posterior nares, right nostril, and
slightly in right Eustachian tube
(first day), [219]. ► The throat was dry, though the patient
had no impediment in swallowing, but an immoderate thirst, which induced

[101], [140], etc. ►
Swallowing and respiration impeded and more frequent, [68]. ►►
*Within two hours and a half, the child had not only lost the power of
utterance, but that of voice also. She could now only utter a hoarse
croaking sound, alternated with a sonorous, croupy, barking cough; and
she was unable to swallow, in consequence of the violent spasm which
affected the muscles of deglutition. This state of spasm,
judging from the nature of the cough, and the croupy character of the
inspirations, pervaded also the muscles of the larynx, [102]. ► The
comatose state was attended with incapability of swallowing; but
evidently the cause was of a totally opposite nature to that which had
produced the same symptom in the first stage. It was now decidedly the
result of atony or paralysis of those parts that had been formerly
affected with spasm. A slightly stertorous state of the breathing
indicated that a similar change had taken place in the muscles of the
larynx, [102]. [880.] ►
