A physician who became aphasic

◾️ Lordat (1843) “I noticed that when | wanted to speak | could not find the expressions... 

The thought was all ready but the sounds that had to express it as intermediary were no longer at my disposition. 

[a day later] I found myself deprived of the use of almost all words. If some of them remained at my grasp, they were almost useless for me, because | could no longer recall the ways to coordinate them in order to express a thought."
