deliquium

• “There is a kind of deliquium of the spirits, called swooning away, that may befall believers, which suspends all acts of life, when yet the man is not dead.”

  Several Practical Cases of Conscience Resolved

• “In the female flux (immoderate menstruation?), if convulsion and deliquium come on, it is bad.”

  Aphorisms

• “And when proper to carry the evacuation to deliquium animi, this also should be done, provided the patient can support it.”

  Aphorisms

• “From the rupture of an internal abscess, prostration of strength, vomiting, and deliquium animi result.”

  Aphorisms

• “But if the discharges be fluid, it is favorable that they are not accompanied with a noise, nor are frequent, nor in great quantity; for the man being oppressed by frequently getting up, must be deprived of sleep; and if the evacuations be both frequent and large, there is danger of his falling into deliquium animi.”

  The Book Of Prognostics

• “When the articular bones of the fingers are fairly chopped off, these cases are mostly unattended with danger, unless deliquium come on in consequence of the injury, and ordinary treatment will be sufficient to such sores.”

  On The Articulations

• “But the parts below the seat of the injury, and the sound portion of the body, are to be previously taken away (for they die previously), taking care to avoid producing pain, for deliquium animi may occasion death.”

  Instruments Of Reduction

• “Excision, either of articular bones or of pieces of bones, when not high up in the body, but about the foot or the hand, is generally followed by recovery, unless the patient die at once from deliquium animi.”

  Instruments Of Reduction

• “And The Old Oak Chest, what was it all about? that proscript (1st dress), that prodigious number of banditti, that old woman with the broom, and the magnificent kitchen in the third act (was it in the third?) — they are all fallen in a deliquium, swim faintly in my brain, and mix and vanish.”

  Memories and Portraits

• “The result is dulness of sight, a stagnation of the vital circulations, and a general deliquium and sloughing off of all the intellectual faculties.”
