Defin.— Temporary depression of the ani- mal and vital actions, with pallor, cold perspira- tion, remarkably weak pulse, or absence of pulse at the wrist; respiration and sensation also being nearly abolished for a short time. 2. The terms used by Hippocrates and Ga- len are synonymous with Syncope, a word of modern use. Leipothymia has been considered by later writers, particularly Morgagni, Dr. Good, and Dr. Ash, either as the same as syn- cope, or as signifying a lesser grade of this affection. The definition which Sauvages has given of leipothymia assigns it a specific differ- ence from syncope, or the usual form of swoon- ing or fainting. He states it to be, Subita- nea et brevis virium dejectio, superstite pulsfis vigore, et cognoscendi facultate. I have had several opportunities of observing attentively the whole progress of this affection ; and I admit the accuracy of this definition, with the exception of the continuance of consciousness, which is generally somewhat impaired, although not altogether lost. The pulse is unaltered from the state in which it was before or after the seizure, or not materially influenced; and in some cases I have found it so strono- as to prescribe depletion; but the-respiratory actions are nearly abolished. Leipothymia is, there- fore, an affection of the animal and respiratory functions, that of the heart not being impaired The slight or imperfect seizures often observed to precede fully developed epilepsy, or to occur](https://iiif.wellcomecollection.org/image/b21111017_0022.jp2/full/800%2C/0/default.jpg)
