When a woman suffers from hysteria or difficult labour an attack of sneezing is beneficial is a aphorism XXXV in 'Aphorisms by Hippocrates'.
The source of this translation of Aphorism 5.35 is W. H. S. Jones's Hippocrates in the Loeb Classical Library.
Georges Didi-Huberman continues in Invention of Hysteria: "This means that sneezing puts the uterus in place. in its true place. This means that the uterus is endowed with the capacity of movement. This means that the woman's sort of "member" is an animal." (page 68)
