Spasrns In

CPASMS are due to irritation OF

the nervous connections between
the brain and the digestive appa-
Tatus that it is possible for trouble
in the latter to affect the former
by what is called reflex action.
though in many cases the con-
WILSON'S are due to the absorption
Of poisOns from the digestive
canal.
Spasms sometimes usher in the
eruptive diseases. such as scarlet
fever. measles, etc. They may in
dicate meningitis at times.
Spasms are frequently fore
Swallowed by twitching, restless
ness, and other evidences of nerv-
Gus irritation. Sudden pallOr
initiates the attack, while the eyes
are seen 10 be fixed and sometimes
rolled upward The muscles of the
face or limbs then begin cOnvulsive
movements. and finally all parts OF
the body may participate. Con-
seriousness is lost Each spasmodic
attack may last only a few mo-
ments. and there may be only one
attack: but in many cases the
spasms succeed each other at brief
intervals. the whole seizure lasting
for perhaps half an hour. The
spasms ar" succeeded by stupOr.
