The mode of attack of apoplexy, is considerably dif-
ferent at different times. Sometimes it is sudden and
unexpected. The patient, uttering perhaps an excla-
mation of some unusual or painfal feeling in the head,
drops down insensible, without previous complaint.
In general, however, (and probably the same would
be found in all cases, if minutely examined), the
approach of the disease is indicated by certain pre-
monitory signs, which it is desirable you should
make yourselves acquainted with; because, by en-
deavouring to obviate and relieve them, the attack
may sometimes be warded off, and the disease alto-
gether prevented. These signs consist, for the most
part, of some imperfection or disorder in one or other
of the seworial functions ; such as imperfect or ir-
regular vision; deafness, or noise in the ears; numb-
ness, or unusual sensations in the limbs ; weakness of
the voluntary muscles, often observable in the muscles
of speech, rendering articulation difficult ; impaired
memory, or other of the mental faculties ; an nnusual
disposition to slecv (lethargy) and incubus or nig,ht-
mare; in some cases,violent and long-continued or fre-
qt: en tly repeated headache precedes the attack of apo-
plexy. In genera], in apoplexy, the pulse is full and
strong, and beats slowly. Sometimes,i t does not deviate
materially from the natural state. In extreme cases,
the pulse is small, feeble and irregular: and, in these,
the disease in general quickly proves fatal. Respira-
tion corresponds for the most part, with the action
of the heart : if this beats slowly, respirationia coin-
monly slow also, and accompanied with stertor or
loud snoring. There is occasionally deep sighing.
The pupils are mostly dilated, but sometimes the
reverse. Sometimes they are observed to be dilated
and contracted alternately, in quick succession, and
without the influence of light. The face is generally
flushed, and often bloated in appearance ; and the
features are relaxed. The stools and urine are some-
times discharged involuntarily. The duration of
the apoplectic state is very various. Sometimes,
even though complete, it goes off in a few minutes ;
or it may continue for many hours, or even days.
But if there is no remission of symptoms for
twenty-four hours, the disease commonly proves
fatal. Sometimes, again, the stupor takes place
gradually, and increases from hour to hour, till it
becomes complete. In this case, also, the patient
generally dies. Apoplexy rarely occurs at an early
age, nor in general till after the middle period of
life. A very large proportion of old people die of
appolexy ; which is induced often in such by slight
and trivial causes. The form of body may predis-
pose to the disease ; as a large head, short neck,
and great corpulency. A sedentary and luxurious
mode of living ; long and intense thinking, especially
when attended with anxiety of mind; and habits of
intoxication; are also among the predisposing causes
and serve to account for the more frequent occur-
rence of apoplexy in men than in women. [Ques-
tion—Has gas, or air, any thing to do with apoplexy?
How many, after drinking freely of spirits,
or eating hearty suppers, are carried off by
apoplexy. Is it the want of sufficient power
to expel gas that brings about, possibly, the internal
bursting of blood-vessels ? Will gas cause pressure
on the blood in the blood-vessels, and cause rupture
of the blood-vessels ? Has the stomach-pump, in
cases of apoplexy after full eating or drinking, been
yet had recourse to ? Would it not be worth medi-
cal men's while to try the experiment, for in cases
of apophxy, aftef all, what is It that brings patients
round but aperients and blood-letting. A man who
eats and drinks largely at night, and then lies down
in his bed, may, in some respects, be compared to an
overcharged gasometer. Now if too muah be taken
into the stomach, and too great a brewing of gas
should be the consequence, is not the living gaso-
meter in a fair way of being bursted in some part of
it, for gas or air, however minute, the too great por-
tion will escape as well from the living, as from the
inanimate thing containing it.J
