A treatise on the diseases of the nervous system . y-six minutes, and, this done, the next act, the crucifixion, was in order. Suddenly she threw herself back on the bed, extended her armsfrom each side, and remained immovable. The pulse was 112, the res-pirations 100. The muscles of the chest seemed to be paralyzed, onlythe diaphragm acting. The eyes were closed. The limbs were in a state of forced extension and very rigid; thecutaneous sensibility to pinchings, prickings, and to the electricalstimulus was abolished. The latter, a very strong induced current, caused muscular contractions but no sensation. There was not theleast flinching. Things went on in this way for over three hours, andthen she sang the Salve JRegina, exclaimed Oh, what sorrow ! andgradually recovered her senses. M. Bourneville * cites the case of Ler., a hystero-epileptic, to whomreference will be again made, who at one time had a cruciform par-oxysm. Her head was strongly thrown back ; her eyelids, half open, 1 Louise Lateau, etc., Pans, 1875, p. 13. ECSTASY. 781. 782 CELEBRO-SPINAL DISEASES. were in continual motion ; the muscles of the jaws were contracted, and the muscles of the neck were hard and tense. The superior extremities were extended at right angles from thetrunk, the hands closed, and the fingers flexed so strongly on the palmsas to render it impossible to open them. The inferior extremities were stretched out to their full length, thesole of one foot in contact with the dorsum of the other. In a word, the rigidity was such that the body could have beenraised from either end like a bar of iron (Fig. 103). The attack lasted about four hours ; then Ler. opened her eyes andrecovered consciousness, exclaiming, O my God, I was so happy ! Two other interesting cases are described by M. Billet, 1 but the fore-going are sufficient to give the reader some idea of ecstasy as it ap-pears in Catholic countries. But the phenomena exhibited by Protestant ecstatics have beenand are to this day full
