Ere Morton could recover from the alarm into which this proposal had thrown him, a third speaker rejoined, "I cannot think it at all necessary; Milnwood is an infirm, hypochondriac old man, who never meddles with politics, and loves his moneybags and bonds better than any thing else in the world.
The term "imaginary" is too loosely applied to the sensations of the hypochondriac. This designation is unjustified, and only irritates the sufferer, rouses his antagonism, and undermines his confidence in the judgment of his adviser. He knows that the sensations are there.
He had ceased to be intimidated by the fiery little man and regarded him simply as a hypochondriac, who needed to be told a few useful facts. "How do you expect not to have indigestion? You take no exercise and you smoke all day long." The novel sensation of being criticized and by a beardless youth at that held Mr. Peters silent. He started convulsively, but he did not speak.
"Well, auntie," said Mel, forgetful of her late repentance, "I don't see but you'll have to go with Shank's mare." Even Aunt Pen laughed then. "Don't you really think you are going to lose me, girls?" asked she. "No, auntie," replied Maria. "We all think you are a hypo." "A hypo?" "Not a hypocrite," said Mel, "but a hypochondriac." "I wish I were," sighed Aunt Pen; "I wish I were.
"I wonder if my lady knows all we can tell her. It might have made her hypochondriac." "Hip who? Odso, I am hipped myself." My lady came.

Meanwhile Caroline sits down and sings one of Schubert's melodies with all the agitation of a hypochondriac.
If your Royal Highness had seen him dreaming and dozing about the banks of Tully-Veolan like an hypochondriac person, or, as Burton's ANATOMIA hath it, a phrenesiac or lethargic patient, you would wonder where he hath sae suddenly acquired all this fine sprack festivity and jocularity.
The hypochondriac flatus is subsiding; the acres, which in imagination I had spread over for the sick man swells in the sole contemplation of his single sufferings, till he becomes a Tityus to himself are wasting to a span; and for the giant of self-importance, which I was so lately, you have me once again in my natural pretensions the lean and meagre figure of your insignificant Essayist.
The constant watching its own sensations, the habit of constantly gratifying every wayward wish and temper under the plea of illness, and the constant indulgence which it too often meets with in this from the over-kindness of its parents, exert a most injurious influence on its character, and it grows up a juvenile hypochondriac.
