No longer great nor terrible, he flies, or rather totters, from before his serene opponent he shudders he stutters and hiccups in his howlings his limbs are tremulous his hands shake as if with palsy his eye is lustreless and bloodshot, and his ghastly countenance the exponent of death.
At length I was fain to request my guide to permit me to move on; the floor was impure with saliva and spilt drink, and I was apprehensive that certain heavy hiccups which I heard, might be merely the prelude to something more disagreeable.

That troublesome affection of the diaphragm, which every person has experienced, is, upon the same principle, to be called, according to the sex of the patient, Hecups and Shecups; which, upon the above principle of making our language truly British, is better than the more classical form of Hiccups and Hoeccups; and then in its objective use we have Hiscups and Hercups; and in like manner Histerics should be altered into Herterics, the complaint never being masculine.
