9:989–91, speech of James Madison, June 6, 1788. Madison only temporarily forgot Rhode Island, which did not send representatives to the Constitutional Convention. He was soon talking about the way “the smallest state in the Union has obstructed every attempt to reform the government.”

Migraines, thought by Hippocrates to result from too much yellow bile, were called “bilious headaches” or “bilious attacks” well into the twentieth century, and the distinction between migraines and epilepsy was not sharply drawn—which may also help explain Madison’s terminology.
