"Recurrent aphasia." The doctor's expression came back to him. In such a state a man could overcome locked doors, could accomplish apparent miracles and retain no recollection. And Bobby had hated and feared Howells more than he had his grandfather. Dully he saw Katherine go out at Graham's direction. As one in a dream he moved toward the door they had had to break down on entering.
"Isn't it singular," asked George, "that he has never been able to talk since he has been with us?" "The medical term applied to the loss of that faculty is called aphasia. The function of speech seems to have its seat in a portion of the left side of the brain, and when that portion is diseased or injured, it affects the speech in many ways.
He skips out somewhere, and when they find him he pretends to have lost his memory don't know his own name, and won't even recognize the strawberry mark on his wife's left shoulder. Aphasia! Tut! Why can't they stay at home and forget?" I took the paper and read, after the pungent headlines, the following: "DENVER, June 12.
Whenever I go near Silas Blackburn's body I receive a very powerful impression that his death in that room from such a wound goes deeper than ordinary murder, deeper than a case of recurrent aphasia." His eyes widened. He turned with Graham and Bobby at the sound of an automobile coming through the woods. "Probably the coroner at last," he said.
I have found them illustrated in four different cases of mediumship, and they may be represented in three types. "The analogies with aphasia, of which we are speaking, may comprise various conditions affecting both medium and communicator. Thus the abnormal physical and mental conditions involved in the trance may affect the integrity of the normal motor action.
An inability to execute the movements necessary to express oneself, either by gesture, writing, or speech, is styled "motor aphasia," to distinguish it from the inability to understand familiar gestures and written or spoken words, which is known as "sensory- aphasia."
That things do happen in this way, that the second of the two hypotheses is that which must be chosen, is what we have tried to prove, in a former work, by the study of facts that best bring into relief the relation of the conscious state to the cerebral state, the facts of normal and pathological recognition, in particular the forms of aphasia.
"Ha! So it's my hole, Major!" Major Flint had a short fit of aphasia. He opened and shut his mouth and foamed. Then he took a half-crown from his pocket. "Give that to the Captain," he said to his caddie, and without looking round, walked away in the direction of the tram. He had not gone a hundred yards when the whistle sounded, and it puffed away homewards with ever-increasing velocity.
"You became excited," said Bliss, "and spoke very loudly and clearly." "What did I say?" "I don't know what you said; I have forgotten. I never want to remember. Things about the Second Advent. Dreadful things. You said God was close at hand. Happily you spoke partly in Greek. I doubt if any of those children understood. And you had a kind of lapse an aphasia.
"You've not forgotten," Bobby said slowly, "that you spoke of a recurrent aphasia." "That's the trouble," Graham put in under his breath. "He has no more alibi now than he had when his grandfather was murdered." Bobby told of his heavy sleep, of the delay in Katherine's arousing him. The doctor's gruff voice was disapproving. "You shouldn't have drunk that medicine. It had stood too long.
