There is an Effect of Drunkenness which resembles in many symptoms the severer form of the Mimosis Acuta; and as it admits less readily of cure, it is important to distinguish the two affections.—In this Effect of Drunken- ness there are great weakness, tremor, and ema- ciation. The case is characterized by a peculiar state of countenance;—there is emaciation; the expression is much lost; and the eyes assume a peculiar streaked, yellow colour. The tongue and mouth are loaded, and perhaps dry, and there is a peculiar fee tor of the breath. The manner of the patient is dull, and often slovenly. There is a considerable loss of flesh. There is often a total loss of appetite. The bowels are generally loose. There are, I think, fewer of the complications noticed § 18, than in the Mi- mosis Acuta. But there is more frequently or- ganic disease.—Particular inquiry should there- fore be made into the Habits of a patient affected with symptoms of the Mimosis Acuta.](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b28406217_0058.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
