Then came the dropsical ones, inflated like wine-skins; and beside some stretchers there dangled hands twisted by rheumatism, while from others protruded feet swollen by oedema beyond all recognition, looking, in fact, like bags full of rags. One woman, suffering from hydrocephalus, sat in a little cart, the dolorous motions of her head bespeaking her grievous malady.
From that date his heart-disease undermined him rapidly; and the few friends whom he received augured ill from what they remarked. Not that he lost hope himself. Although suffering acutely at intervals from difficulty in breathing, and from the oedema of his lower limbs, which slowly crept upwards, he spoke with the same confidence as always of his future creations that he meditated.
The surface remained ulcerated to the extent of three inches in length and an inch and a half in breadth, and presented a considerable thick slough in the centre; the inflammation continued to be considerable with some oedema towards the toes.

Coirin could turn herself in bed; on the 12th the horrible wound 'was staunched, and began to close up and heal. The paralysed side recovered life and its natural proportions. By September 3, Mlle. Coirin could go out for a drive. All her malady, says Dr. Charcot, paralysis, 'cancer, and all, was 'hysterical; 'hysterical oedema, for which he quotes many French authorities and one American.
