Excerpt from The Journal of Nervous and Mental Disease, Vol. 10: January-October, 1883 The cataleptic, even though placed standing and in a forced attitude, preserves a perfect equilibrium and appears as if petrified. The eyes are open, the gaze fixed, the physiog nomy impassive and, since the eyes wink but infrequently, the tears accumulate and soon trickle down the cheeks. The respiratory movements themselves partake of this immo bility. The pneumographic tracings indicate long pauses, represented by horizontal lines which intervene at wide intervals between Shallow depressions. The members, and the same may be said of all the parts of the body, preserve without apparent fatigue during a relatively very long time, positions, even the most difficult ones, that may have been communicated to them. When they are raised or moved they seem to be very light, and even if they are exed or extended the articulations offer no sensation of resistance. Contrary to the assertion of a great number of authors, the exz'bz'lz'tas term does not belong to the cataleptic state of hypnotism.
