  • Penis ejectio, ut ego comperi, lenem compressionem fuci ventris, consequitur; et fucus extemplo similis fulmine tacto, moritur.

    Langstroth on the Hive and the Honey-Bee A Bee Keeper's Manual 1852

  • I have heard also of general convulsions being excited instead of the actions of the musculi acceleratores in the ejectio feminis, which terminated fatally.

    Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life Erasmus Darwin 1766

  • The ejectio feminis is another process in some respects similar to strangury, as belonging to the same sensible canal of the urethra, and by exciting into action the accelerator muscles; but in the strangury these muscles are excited into action by painful sensation, and in the ejection of the semen by pleasureable sensation.

    Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life Erasmus Darwin 1766

  • These violent voluntary exertions of our muscles or ideas to relieve the sensation of pain constitute convulsions and madness; and are distinguished from the muscular actions owing to increased sensation, as in sneezing, or coughing, or parturition, or ejectio feminis, because they do not contribute to dislodge the cause, but only to prevent the sensation of it.

    Zoonomia, Vol. II Or, the Laws of Organic Life Erasmus Darwin 1766

  • Some of the breakaway material is now en route to Earth in the form of a coronal mass ejectio.
