"Then our hold on Banneker, through his ability to intimidate The Searchlight, depends on the life of a paretic." "Paretic is too strong a word yet. But it comes to about that. Except he'll want a lot of money to marry Io Eyre." "He wants a lot, anyway," smiled Marrineal.
The only place for a paretic is in an asylum, since the changes in judgment, will-power, and moral control which occur early in the disease are such that, before the patient gets unmanageable, he may have pretty effectually wrecked his business and the happiness of his family and associates.
"’Strange!’—the boy he had spoken to was about eighteen, a nice, red-cheeked English lad out with his uncle learning the cattle business. ’Good God!’ the boy said. ’I’ve always tried to lead a good life, and here I am a paretic before I’ve come of age.’ "They halted their horses and held a consultation.
But Napoleon felt that such false charges were exasperating nations, were paving the way to deluge Europe again in war, and that causes tending to such woes were too potent to be despised.

Of course, a lesion somewhere outside the brain is not unlikely to be projected through the diseased brain, and SOMATIC delusions in the paretic are rather likely to represent something in the viscera.
