In a former number of this Journal (15) instances where Convulsions had occurredamongst patients, not epileptics, in this asylum were given. Nine cases attended with convulsions have also been recorded. by me in the Edmburql: Medical Journal.” of which three were adults and six infants. Congestion of blood in the brain was found in three of the infants, effusion of blood in one, fluid in the ventricles it) one, and enlarged brain in one; the foramen ovale and ductus arteriosus of the heart were open in one. In the male adult there was general dropsy, and the heart kidneys and liver were enlarged; convulsions preceded death; and in the two female adults convulsions were symptomatic of suppression of urine in one and of Bright's kidneys in the other. Instances of convulsions aye frequent in cases of general paralysis, in cases of melancholia, especially where it is combined with pulmon- ary phthisis; and also, but much Jess frequently, in mania; and these convulsions it is sometimes very difficult to distinguish from epilepsy.
