He was at that time in London, and suffered four or five paroxysms in the course of every day, generally on washing his face, and whenever he ate or drank. — He had long been subject to dyspeptic symptoms ; his constitution is leucophleg- matic; and his pulse generally small and languid. Previous to the attack of tic douloureux, he had been subject to very distressing and obstinate chronic inflam- matory affections of the membrane lining the trachea.
