cent.

10 to 20 attacks per day in 7.4 per cent. 5 to 10 attacks per day in 14.8 per cent. 1 to 5 attacks per day in 40.7 per cent. 1 or more attacks per week in 22.2 per cent. 1 or more attacks per month in 7.4 per cent. At rarer intervals in 3.7 per cent.

Thus when epilepsia mitior exists, in the majority of cases the attacks are of daily occurrence.

Loss of consciousness, as ascertained in a series of cases, was

Complete in 48.3 per cent.
Partial in 51.6 per cent.

Premonitory Symptoms.—These are not, as a rule, so well marked in epilepsia mitior as in E. Gravior; but frequently the aura is quite as distinctly appreciated. In the 28 per cent. of cases in which E. Mitior is associated with E. Gravior, the aura was apparently the same in both. Of the 10 per cent. cases of E. Mitior occurring by itself, the following is the record:—

No aura in 20 per cent.
Sensation in epigastrium in 20 per cent.
Loss of speech in 10 per cent.
Violent pain in head in 10 per cent.
Tingling of extremities in 10 per cent.
Choking sensation in 10 per cent.
Hallucination in 10 per cent.
Vertigo in 10 per cent.

The number of cases in E. Mitior is too limited to warrant further generalization.
