VENTRAL^ROOT PLATE IX Kenelm Winslow when there is chronic disease of the nervous systemthat convulsions are apt to become frequent and per-sistent. Removal of the cause will generally effect apermanent cure of convulsions. EPILEPSY—Symptoms.—-The only apparent dif-ference between epilepsy and accidental or occasionalconvulsions in children is one of duration. The at-tacks are similar; one cannot distinguish between them,but in epilepsy the fits are repeated and the conditionis chronic. There are two kinds of epilepsy we neednote: a severe form with insensibility and spasms; amilder form with transient loss of consciousness with-out spasms. Symptoms of the Severe Form.—There are threestages in the attack: 1. The patient may turn around rapidly, or evenrun swiftly. More often a terrible cry or low gurg-ling groan is emitted, and the patient falls to theground unconscious. The body is stiff and arched up-ward, with the head thrown back or to one side, or thebody is bent sidewise.
