The circulation is slow, the brain inactive, and the passions languid).

Aeon., Am., Bella., Calc., Hep., Merc., Cham., Nux v., Bry., Lach., Phosph., Ac. nitr., Ars., Cocc, etc. Bilious Temperaments. (By this term is meant that habit of body which is distinguished by black hair, dark eyes and skin, the latter generally in- clining to yellow, moderate fulness, but much firmness of flesh ; the coun- tenance strongly marked, and expressive of the great energy of character •which this temperament obtains; the passions violent, the pulse strong, hard, and frequent.)

(A modification of the bilious, with less ac- tivity of the nervous and muscular systems ; black hair, dark complexion ; the disposition grave, meditative, suspicious, and gloomy.
