Nervous and mental diseases . 11 Mm^iiU iIm^I. Fig. 49.—Same case six months later. 9 shows late contracture on xhv paretic side while the faceis at rest; 10, contracture in the lower half of the face increased by gently closing the eyes, and at thesame time shows weakness about left eye; 11, contracture increased by raising brows, showing over-action of zygoniatici and weakness of frontalis on left side. As the face recovers, in every instance the paretic side is likelv tooveract for all moderate voluntary bilateral movements. It would seemthat the neuritis had left a certain nuclear irritability, so that a centralinfluence, acting equally on both sides, produces a greater effect on the for-merly paralytic muscles. This secondary overactlon is most pronouncedin the lower half of the face, and often leads the patient to suppose thatthe sound side is becoming paretic. When once stronglv developed itpractically remains for the rest of life, though slight degrees of it mavpass away. While, therefore, the paralysis usually gets well
