"gastralgia, epistaxis, haemoptysis, asthma and suppuration of the lungs, megrim, deafness, cataract and amaurosis, paralysis, loss of sense, pains of every kind, etc., appear in our pathology as so many peculiar, distinct, and independent diseases."
Manners had a megrim." "Mrs. Manners is ageing swifter than her husband," observed Anthony. There seemed a constraint upon the company this evening.
And Boleskey, murmuring, "She must drink to our country," went out to summon her, Margit followed him, while Swithin cut up a chicken. They came back without her. She had "a megrim of the spirit." Swithin's face fell. "Look here!" he said, "I'll go and try. Don't wait for me." "Yes," answered Boleskey, sinking mournfully into a chair; "try, brother, try-by all means, try."
