Sometimes there are tinni-tus aurium and abnormal sensations of taste. The paralysis may aflectall or only some of the branches of the facial nerve. A frequent symp-tom is paralysis of the soft palate on the affected side. This symj)tomhas never been explained, as the experiments of Eethi (1893) show thatthe soft palate is innervated by the vagus. Facial paralysis in auraldiseases begins either by degrees or with marked variations. In somecases total facial paralysis comes suddenly, either with or without pro-dromes. Lessening of the paralysis is indicated by improvement in cer-tain branches first, followed later by others. Eecovery may never occur 194 sr^. V _-^
