DR. E. E. SOUTHARD, Boston: Idiopathic epilepsy as found in Massachusetts material and estimated from the appearances in the gross anatomy of the brain occurs in about one of every three cases. There are accordingly more idiopathic epilepsies than there are idiopathic or "functional" psychoses, if the data of gross anatomy form a reliable index.
As has been well known for a number of years and commented upon by such observers as Gowers, Jackson and Binswanger, the so-called hemiplegic epilepsies sooner or later develop the epileptic alteration in a character analogous to that seen in idiopathic epilepsy.
No, we literary men must learn, no matter how we boast ourselves in business, that the distress we feel from our publisher's accounts is simply idiopathic; and I for one wish to bear my witness to the constant good faith and uprightness of publishers.
Two of these cases were 'idiopathic'; one being apparently occasioned by exposure to cold air all night; the other the cause was obscure. The third was of that kind called 'sympathetic', and arose from extreme injury done to one of the feet. In each of these cases the convulsive spasm was extreme, and the rigidity universal but not intense. In one case the jaw was only partially locked.
It is a construing of natural means for getting out of a difficulty. Dr. DR. JOHN T. MACCURDY, New York: I have been very much interested in this paper by Dr. Emerson and the part that has interested me most in it has been the therapeutic side. I cannot feel, however, that it adds a great deal to our knowledge of epilepsy, that is, of idiopathic epilepsy.
Osmond replied that apoplexy was often idiopathic.* Captain Dodd, as he understood, had fallen down in the street in a sudden fit: "but as for the mania, that is to be attributed to an insufficient evacuation of blood while under the apoplectic coma." *"Arising of itself." A term rather hastily applied to disorders the coming signs of which have not been detected by the medical attendant.
The birth of Topsy was idiopathic in that learned lady's opinion. "Not bled enough! Why, Sampson says it is because he was bled too much." Osmond was amused at this, and repeated that the mania came of not being bled enough. The discussion was turned into an unexpected quarter by the entrance of Jane Hardie, who came timidly in and said, "Oh, Mr.
"to a Mountain Daisy," "to a Haggis," "to a Louse," "to the Toothache," &c. and occasionally to his brother bards and lady or gentleman patrons, often with strokes of tenderest sensibility, idiopathic humor, and genuine poetic imagination still oftener with shrewd, original, sheeny, steel-flashes of wit, home-spun sense, or lance-blade puncturing.

Specific or idiopathic, in which there are no evident causes present; it is sometimes seen in cases of nephritis and diabetes. Neurotic, in which the primary cause is in the nervous system, hysteria, epilepsy, shock, or cerebral tumors. The obstinacy of continued hiccough has long been discussed.
