They who are afflicted with it, are seized while they are walking, (more especially if it be up hill, and soon after eating) with a painful and most disagreeable sensation in the breast, which seems as if it would extinguish life, if it were to increase or to continue; but the moment they stand still, all this uneasiness vanishes.... In all other respects, patients are, at the beginning of this disorder, perfectly well.... Males are most liable to this disease, especially such as have past their fiftieth year.
William Heberden
It is a sort of waking dream, which, though a person be otherwise in sound health, makes him feel symptoms of every disease; and, though innocent, yet fills his mind with the blackest horrors of guilt
health sound dreams guilt mind dream person feel disease innocent waking
life moment walking past beginning disease stand eating disorder
