The Respiration in Pressure on the Brain. By Dr. Landgraf.—Dr.
Landgraf calls attention to the state of the respiration, in cases of cerebral
pressure. It is frequently not stertorous and labored, as described in
books, till the agony; but it is interrupted; that is to say, after from six
to twelve tranquil and easy respirations, a long pause insues. The
author details cases in proof of the existence and diagnostic value of this
sign.—Ibid., from Deutsche Klinik, 1852, p. 89.
