-GEORGE VITHOULKAS
Bufo is especially indicated in epilepsy when the attacks occur during sleep at night. The patient may or may not be awakened by the attack; if not, when he does awaken he will have violent headache.
The patient falls to the ground unconscious, with a blood-curdling, wild cry, followed by spasms in the limbs; distorted facial muscles, becomes red in the face, grinds his teeth and bites his tongue, foams at the mouth; there is an involuntary discharge of urine; he suffers from vertigo. Severe spasms are followed by loud snoring sleep.
External numbness before epilepsy or numbness of the parts lain on.
Head drawn sideways before epilepsy. [Caust., Lycop., Stram.]
Stiffness before epilepsy. Stiffness of upper limbs before epilepsy.
Restlessness and shrieking before convulsions; runs about everywhere;

Up to the period of beginning the epileptic fit, the muscles are in a state of tonic contraction, and then jactitations or twitchings commence.
