singultus

The Ephemerides mentions singultus as a cause of abortion.

The lips were dry, the tongue markedly coated; _foetor ex ore _was present; painful eructations were frequent, also singultus, complete anorexia and extreme thirst.

There is another case related in the same journal of a man who died on the fourth day of an attack of singultus, probably due to abscess of the diaphragm, which no remedy would relieve.

Cowan speaks of a shoemaker of twenty-two who experienced an attack of constant singultus for a week, and then intermittent attacks for six years.

The Ephemerides contains records of epilepsy in which blindness preceded the paroxysm, in which there was singing during it, and a case in which the paroxysm was attended with singultus.
