Epilepsy
Having considered the general effects of the bromides on a series of
unselected cases, we now proceed to investigate whether any particular
form of the disease, or any special circumstances connected with the
patient or his surroundings, have any influence in modifying the results
of treatment. The following table shows epilepsy divided into its two
chief forms, namely, E. Gravior and E. Mitior. By the former is
understood the ordinary severe attack, with loss of consciousness and
convulsions; the latter is the slighter and very temporary seizure, of
loss of consciousness, but without convulsions.
