Annoyance through the ear to the inside of the nose and
mouth by the power of sympathy.
By an assortment of glands opening into the nose, the interior
of the mouth, and the passage called the larynx into the lungs,
a viscous fluid liquid subservient to various uses, a liquid but in some
cases partly by its original texture, partly by evaporation, approaching
to solidity, is discharged. This liquid, when accumulated in the
passages, to a certain quantity becomes, in various ways, productive
of disagreeable sensations which can not be removed but by
the expulsion of it. That portion of it which lines the lungs, the
larynx, and the interior of the mouth, is capable of being
discharged through either of the two channels: through the
mouth, in which case it is expelled out of the body altogether,
and in its own form, or through the gullet into the stomach:
in which latter case, it mixes itself with the food, and after having
undergone like changes, it finally expelled through the same
passages: that which lines the nose, the upper part of it at least, is
capable of being discharged through any one of three channels: viz
at the nostrils, at the mouth, as above, or into the stomach. When
at the mouth, it is driven out from above by an extraordinary quantity
of air inhaled for that purpose: in this case, the nose is said to
be blowed: that which is expelled through the mouth is discharged partly by
means of a current affair inhaled for the purpose, partly by means
of the muscular force of the tongue and the lips. In the instance
of some persons, if, instead of being expelled from the
mouth or nose, this mucus is swallowed, sickness is apt
to be produced: sickness partly by the difficultly digestable
quality of the matter when taken into the stomach: partly
by its tenacity by which it is kept in a state of continuous
strings, extending themselves down the gullet, and stimulating
it in such manner as to produce a sort of convulsion
called reaching.
