 WORDS NOT USUALLY FOUND IN MEDICAL 
 
 DICTIONARIES. 
 
 Quite recently a medical man from Philadelphia called 
 at my office, and throwing down a brand new medical 
 dictionary on the desk, challenged me to name any medi- 
 cal word or phrase that does not occur in the said word- 
 book. 
 
 On the spur of the moment, I recalled a number of words 
 that could not be found, such as Neurodendren, a term used 
 in speaking of the histological ending or ramification of 
 the nerves; Banaustic, merely mechanical; Eury cephalic, 
 large skulled; Eurygnathous, large jawed; Upomochlion 
 (bnofioyXiov, the fulcrum of a lever, Arist. Median., 4 1.), the 
 epigastric region, considered by Galen to be one of the 
 levers of the vital force (scrobiculus cordis); Drachocephale 
 Virginiana, a plant that may be made to simulate symp- 
 toms of catalepsy; Dactylosmileusis (daxrukot; et apdebco), igi- 
 tur appellamus chirurgiam veterum, digitos manus et 
 pedes scalpro excisorio et malleo amputandi ; Die Ab- 
 meiselung der Finger oder Zehen, according to Dr. Sieben- 
 haar, Termilogisches Worterbuch, Leipsig, 1842, and Schrieber, 
 A. G. — De dactylosmileusis, 1815 ; Botryotherapeutics and 
 StaphyUnotherapeutics, grape cure ; Morbus Mirachiali, hypo- 
 chondriasis, named from Mirach, an Arabian physician, of 
 the 11th century, who wrote much of this affection.* 
 
 *Some of the bibliographical references to Affectus Mirachialis are : 
 Adolphi, Diss. Trias., Lips., 1746 (de affectum mirachiali) ; Ephem. Nat. 
 Cur. Dec. II., Ann. viii., obs. 3 ; Gordon, Lib. fol. 183, 6 (Mirach=Mesen- 
 terium) ; Marcel his Donatus, L., iv. c, 8 de Payva (Gasp, de affectus atra- 
 bilario mirachialis, etc., Rom., 1751, 4; Zacutus Lusitanus, Prox. Admir. 
 
 L. II. obs. 8 (affectus curatus usu eboris) ; , Med. Pr. Hist., L. II., 
 
 p. 957 (ebeno curato symptomata). 
 
Emeryaki, same as Latah or Gilles de la Tourrette's disease, 
 and, according to Dr. Bunge, of St. Petersburg!), improp- 
 erly spelled — Myriachit ; Mestoboyazin, Russian for agora- 
 phobia ; Dysnoia, heavy, gloomy thought ; Mesological, re- 
 lating to environment; Quass, Alaskan whiskey; Pygopa- 
 dous, said of birds who sit upon the rump and feet, as auks 
 and penguins; Uranist, name for a sexual pervert; Hypna- 
 gogic, bringing about sleep ; Nephrozymosis, term used by 
 writers on kidney diseases ; Nonnengerausch, same as bruit 
 de souffle; Hagymaz, Hungary fever; Quef, Icelandic for in- 
 fluenza or grippe ; FaJcisa, Japanese infantile measles ; 
 Cheiropodalgia, acrodynia ; Duopagous, two united ; Alpen- 
 stich, a form of pleurisy or pleuro-pneumonia peculiar to 
 great heights, occurring in the Alps, Andes, Thibet, etc., 
 concerning which much has been written. See Guggen- 
 biihl, J. — Der Alpenstich Endemisch, Zurich., 1838 (the 
 typhoid-pneumonia of the Alps); also Hirsch, A. — Hand- 
 buch der Historisch — Geographischen Pathologie, Erlangen, 
 1862, Bd. II., p. 46, and Davidson's recent work on geo- 
 graphical pathology. 
 
 There was also failure to find some words noted in read- 
 ing an article on the "Medical Topography of the West 
 Indies," such as Bathymetric, Dioric (two climated), Diurnal, 
 Seismic, Nychthemeral, Madreporic, Soufriere, Agouti (a small 
 rodent), Sarigue (a marsupial), and Perro mudo (extinct) — 
 the three being the only indigenous quadrupeds of Cuba; 
 Bothryops lanceolatus, a deadly snake causing great mor- 
 tality at Martinique; and Swizzle, a mixed drink peculiar 
 to the West Indies, and one that seekers after health would 
 do well to avoid. 
 
 I also failed to find such words as Vaudoux or Voodoo, 
 Theophobia, Pedaneous, Gynegraph, Pilosism, Choregraphic, 
 Operant, Religiosity, Religionize, Subliminal, Desinvolture, 
 Metempirical, and Cycadean or Cycadeons, the last two words 
 being used by writers on fossil botany, but not to be found 
 in any dictionary. 
 
 Referring to a list kept during the several years that I 
 was engaged in a sort of intellectual tread- mi 11 work, mak~ 
 
ing an "Index Catalogue of the Library of the Surgeon- 
 General," to which unfortunately applies the Mantovanian 
 refrain — El quorum pars w,agna fui ; sed tulit aliter honor es" — 
 I came across many unusual words, about a hundred of 
 which are not to be found in the forementioned or in ordi- 
 nary dictionaries. 
 
 Many of these terms occur in works that deal with the 
 comparative pathology of the races, or with pathological 
 anthropology, and are not to be found in the usual books 
 that make up a doctor's library.

 Many terms used by neurologists, psychiatrists and writers 
 
8 
 
 on criminology I also failed to find. A few of these are : 
 Disvulnerability, Recidivism, Misoneism and Misoneist, Oro- 
 graphic, Mattoid, Sanlon, Boulepsy, Psychism, Devolition, Xeno- 
 dochia, Infantilism,* Palmus and Palmodic, Dysthumia, Eject 
 and Ejective. Verriiktheit, Graffonomio, Contractural, Errebund, 
 and Devolution, new vocables that one frequently meets in 
 perusing the literature of the forementioned character. 
 
 I am aware that many of the words herewith enumerated, 
 though old, will be new even to many persons who have 
 given attention to medical terminology, and that some of 
 the expressions, being foreign and neoteric, may not have 
 claim to good lexical standing. They were, however, all 
 run across by me in discursive medical reading, some of 
 them many times, and interpreting their meaning, in 
 numerous instances, has cost days of patient research. 
 Their reproduction here is not meant as a criticism that 
 applies to the shortcomings of any particular one of the 
 excellent word-books that have lately appeared, since the 
 difficulties both of inclusion and exclusion in preparing 
 such works are fully recognized. This little list, with all 
 its imperfections, is therefore put forward merely for what 
 it is worth, and is submitted with that spirit of modesty 
 which popular figment and common assent acknowledge to 
 be the mark and attribute of one who is neither an editor 
 nor a lexicographer.
