' Mind. Excited imagination; zoomagnetic condition; ecstasy ; clairvoyance.

I Mind is overactive; great flow of thoughts difficult to arrange.

I I Memory generally quick.

■ Irritability of mind and body; prostrated from least un- pleasant impression.

PHOSPHORUS. 330

I Any lively impression is followed by heat, as if immersed

in hot water. • Excitable, easily angered, vehement, from which he after- wards suffers.

I I Anxious : filled with gloomy forebodings ; as if about to die; about termination of her illness; and restless; at twilight; when alone; about the future ; during a thun- derstorm ; with palpitation ; as if below her 1. breast, so painful that her whole body trembled, at times with bitter eructations and palpitation; and restless with much sweat on forehead and heat of head ; oppression.

iFear and dread: in evening; of death; as if something were creeping out of every corner ; late in evening as if a horrible face were looking out of every corner.

■ Mental depression and a most uncommon fearfulness or

timidity with great sense of fatigue. II Great indisposition to mental or physical exertion. I No capacity for mental work, absence of thought, as if he

could not grasp any thought ; disinclination to study or

converse; slow flow of ideas, absence of mind. I I Unable to collect his senses, in morning on rising ; head

dizzy, heavy, painful, as if he had been lying at night

with head too low.

■ While reflecting : headache and dyspnoea ; feeling of ap-

prehension at pit of stomach; weak feeling in head. IB Apathy : indifferent even to his own children ; answers no questions, or replies wrongly; took no notice of things about him, but his responses were always correct; answers slowly, moves sluggishly.

■ Seemed dumb and dazed for many days.

■ Stupor, delirium, grasping at flocks.
