_Excretion_ is also hurt in this case, by vomit, seege or vrine, &c. when either they cannot performe it being prouoked, or do it out of season, or more then is conuenient. &c. These _Symptoms_ also appeare in the Suffocation of the Mother. _Hyppocrat. de nat. muliebri. Muta deprepentè fit. de morbis muliebr. lingua ipsius refrenatur & hanc non claram habet.

In the mean time let vs produce some examples of this 2. kind of _Suffocation_, where the animall faculty doth principally suffer: for examples many times do perswade more then doctrine. _Hollerius_ reporteth that the gouernour of _Roan_ in France had two daughters which were helde with these fits, in such sort as they would laugh an houre or two togither, and confessed that they could not refraine from laughing, although diuerse means to that end were vsed, both by entreaty, and by threates. He tels also of a gentlewoman _de Rochpot_, who being in these fits would raue, laugh, & weep, her eies being shut. _Forestus_ maketh mention of one _Alcida Theodorici at Alkmare_ a yong lusty maid who was held 24. houres in a most grieuous fit of the mother, wherin she lay as if she had beene halfe dead, hearing what was said about her, but could not speake, nor enioy her other senses. Sometimes she would bee pulled as if she had the falling sickenesse, sometimes would lie still as if she were in an _Apoplexie_, sometimes she would onely stirre her legges, the rest of her bodie being dull: and although she could not speake, yet she would crie and laugh by turnes, and then be sullen and dumpish, as if she were dead againe.
