This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can usually download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed.

Uniformity is, however, so much more important than significance of nomenclature, that it seems not desirable to attempt to substitute a new name for that now in general use. The termination of a paroxysm of Delirium Tremens is always, as has been already mentioned, by a profound sleep, and no cessation of the delirium or other symptoms is to be regarded as indicating a favorable close of the disease, unless it have been preceded by it.

Lucid intervals are not common, but they sometimes occur, and so far as a few cases can go towards establishing a general principle, we are to regard them, when occurring before the regular termination of the paroxysm, as unfavorable indications. Two cases only, however, of this kind have fallen under my observation, and I do not recollect that any others have been recorded. In the first, the disease began with convulsions, which were repeated during the first twelve hours.
