When It comes on gradually there are symptoms such as headache, dizzyness, pains in the head, and numbness or tingling arms, hands, or feet. Following this there may be vomiting and paralysis on one side, which is usually the right side. However, there are many cases where the left side is totally paralyzed Most cases, however, occur suddenly, when the blood is suddenly effusedfinto the substance of the brain.

It may begin with a sudden pain in the head, and the person afflicted will fall into a state of apoplectic coma or paralytic stroke. In a few cases the coma may be attended with convulsions, but usually they are absent. The breathing is slow, noisy, and irregular. The pulse is full and slow, and the cheeks, puff out with expiration or exhaling the air out of the lungs. The pupils in the eyes are unequally enlarged, and one side of the body is paralyzed.

The paralysis is on the side opposite to fee side of the hemorrhage which is in the brain, except of the face, which may be paralyzed on the side of the hemorrhage. The head and eyes may dlaviate towards the side of the hemorrhage in the brain. The parlysis of the face may be determined by smoothing out the wrinkles the face, and it will be noticed that one side returns to its normal shape more rapidly than the other, and by raising the leg or arm and permitting them to drop it will be seen that the paralyzed extremity drops as if dead. There a usually a slight fever of 100 or 101 degrees, the paralyzed side being one or two degrees wanner than the unaffected side. In severe cases the temperature may suddenly rise to 106 degrees, and death soon follows.

The majority of cases are not fatal; in those that recover the coma disappears in from five hours to five or six days, after which there is great weakness, mental confusion disturbances of speech and paralysis.
