It is with regard to these that the term hystero-epilepsy almost seems justified.

On the maternal side there is a somewhat neurotic heredity, and she is herself subject to attacks of hystero-epileptoid character.

“Such a cruel ruse,” sobbed her ladyship, in hystero-tragic tones.

The same symptoms revived in the extraordinary epidemic called the hystero-demonopathy, which visited Morzine, in Savoy, in 1857.

This patient's visions of corpses, occurring almost always in attacks, recall the states occasionally seen in hystero-epilepsy.
