Seite 400 - This exudation is all the more remarkable as the surface is then cold, and hence the term a cold sweat; whereas, the sudorific glands are properly excited into action when the surface is heated. The hairs, also, on the skin stand erect; and the superficial muscles shiver. In connection with the disturbed action of the heart, the breathing is hurried. The salivary glands act imperfectly; the mouth becomes dry, and is often opened and shut.
Seite 401 - The pupils are said to be enormously dilated. All the muscles of the body may become rigid, or may be thrown into convulsive movements.
