June 17/70/ Paget says under Chloroform with sickness ─ tears come into eyes, but does not know about contraction of orbiculars. ─ will enquire. ─

[Expression, p. 165: "Accordingly I asked one of my informants, a surgeon, to attend to the effects of retching when nothing was thrown up from the stomach; and, by an odd coincidence, he himself suffered the next morning from an attack of retching, and three days subsequently observed a lady under a similar attack; and he is certain that in neither case an atom of matter was ejected from the stomach; yet the orbicular muscles were strongly contracted, and tears freely secreted."]
