Head.—Headache especially noticed on shaking the head, associated with increased warmth of the body, as if the blood were flowing more rap- idly than usual through the vessels (sixth day).—Headache relieved to- wards evening (sixth day).—Pulsative headache in the left frontal emi- nence, like a pressure and fulness, worse on stooping and sueezing, better in the open air (sixth day).—The headache was seated the whole day in the forehead, but afterwards became concentrated beneath the left frontal eminence, and disappeared after walking in the cold open air (seventh day). —Dulness and heaviness in the head, with pressive headache in both fron- tal eminences; pain like a fulness, aggravated by moving and shaking the head, when it seemed as though the brain were moving back and forth (seventh day).—On lying down at 11 p.m., just as he was falling asleep, but was only half asleep, there was a sensation as if all his senses vanished, with an indescribable sensation in the head like vertigo, and a feeling as though all the blood left the head, with a prickling in the face; this was followed by sudden waking, after which he could not fall asleep for a long time, until after midnight, with a distressing burning itching on the scalp. He fell asleep towards morning; the sleep was full of vivid dreams of everything that he knew, only indistinctly remembered (seventh day).— Dulness of the head, with similar fulness and heaviness in the upper part of the abdomen and under the ribs, after a light meal (eighth day).—Pain over the whole head, as if a ring were tightened about the head, with heaviness. On shaking the head, it seemed as if the brain wabbled to and fro. After this he fell asleep, and woke about 7 a.m. with some headache, which disappeared on rising; heaviness and dulness in the head remained (ninth day).—[10.] After washing with cold water, which was very un- pleasant, the head felt large; this sensation extended upward from the cheeks, was associated with pressure and burning in the throat and oesoph- agus, which latter was very violent and almost intolerable, immediately 102 SPIREA ULMARIA. followed by an attack of vertigo, with heat of the cheeks (ninth day).— Au hour after the dose, heaviness and dulness of the head, like commenc- ing headache (fourteenth day).—A pressive headache and fulness in the forehead, worse in the house than in the open air (fourteenth day).—1 he headache disappeared about 8 p.m. (fourteenth day). Bye.—In the morning, after rising, the eyes (especially the left eye) were filled with mucus, that had dried to crusts on the lashes and in the canthi with indistinct vision, as through a mist, relieved by blinking and rubbing the eyes. Lachrymation of the left eye, with smarting and in- creased sensation of warmth in it. The sclerotic is bright red (tenth day). —On waking after the midday nap, he could not open his eyes for a long time, on account of leaden heaviness of the lids, with frequent headache, as after intoxication, that continued after rising, with pain and pressure in the forehead, as if full. Towards evening the frontal headache was better, and was felt'more in the left frontal eminence (thirteenth day).—Sensation as if something hot mounted into the eyes, causing biting and burning, and a feeling as if tears would flow, though they did not (sixth day). Face.—Increased redness of the face (fourteenth day).—Sensation as if the blood mounted into the face, with a sensation of heat in the face and eyes (sixth day). 31outh.—Slight drawing toothache in the left back teeth, without ability to tell whether in the upper or lower jaw (eighth day). Throat.—[20.] After the first dose, sensation of increased warmth in the pharynx, extending down the whole length of the oesophagus to the stomach, where it seemed to concentrate (second day). A burning pressure in the oesophagus, as before noted, usually disappeared over night, and immediately reappeared after a dose in the morning; the sensation was partly relieved by eating and by drinking, disappeared entirely while eat- ing and drinking, but not on empty swallowing (sixth day). The burning and pressure in the same spot in the oesophagus was to-day especially se- vere ; it seemed as though the oesophagus were forcibly constricted, with many eructations of much gas; this sensation was relieved during the eruc- tations, and while eating was associated with a sensation as if a large hard body were forcibly pressing through the oesophagus (seventh day). Burn- ing in the spot already described in the oesophagus is to-day more like a pressure, with a sensation as if the oesophagus were too small, without, how- ever, affecting swallowing; it extended up to the pharynx and down into the stomach, where there was a peculiar sensation of qualmishness (eighth day).—Towards evening, sensation of coldness in the pharynx and oesoph- agus is especially noticed; it even did not disappear after eating (eighth day). A cold sensation in the oesophagus extended to both anterior sides of the chest, beneath the nipples, and into the upper portion of the pha- rynx, with oppression of the chest, which obliged deep breathing (ninth day).—Pressure in the pharynx and oesophagus continued the same as yesterday (tenth day).—Sensation of increased warmth in the pharynx, extending down to the stomach ; feeling of warmth in the oesophagus, op- posite the manubrium sterni (fourteenth day). Stomach.—Immediately after the dose the hunger disappeared, and only returned about 9.30 p.m., but was soon appeased by a little food (four- teenth day).—There was no relish for smoking; a sensation as though one had not smoked for a long time, as after a long illness (seventh day).— During the day, there were frequent eructations of odorless gas (fifth day). —Frequent eructations of much gas (eighth day).—Eructations of much SPIREA ULMARIA. 103 gas always after eating and drinking (ninth day).—Repeated eructations of gas (twelfth day).—[30.] A sensation of burning warmth iu a small spot beneath the ensiform process, as if something hot or acrid had been taken, though without paiu. In the evening this sensation became very acute, and almost like heartburn, but. less severe (second day).—The sen- sation of warmth felt yesterday in the pit of the stomach (cardiac orifice) is to-day less in the stomach than in the oesophagus, about the region of the manubrium sterni, and is more decidedly a burning sensation, noticed after every dose. In the intervals between the doses, this sensation almost entirely disappeared, so that it was scarcely noticed; the heat reappeared after each dose (third day). Abdomen.—Frequent emission of very offensive flatus (sixth day).— During the stool, moving about and slight griping in the lower part of the abdomen (sixth day).—After eating, movings about in the navel, with a sensation of heaviness in the lower part of the abdomen and pressure upon the rectum, with emission of odorless flatus, immediately followed by a small crumbly evacuation, after which the heaviness in the abdomen was still felt (eighth day).—A-Vfter a light meal, movement in the lower part of the abdomen, with rumbling aud slight griping, followed by desire for stool, with emission of odorless flatus (ninth day). Rectum and Anus.—Crawling aud prickling in the rectum, with a sensation as if drawn inward (eighth day).—Duriug the stool, a sensation as if the anus would not open sufficiently (sixth day).—The stool, in the evening, was followed for a long time by a prickling constrictive sensation in the anus (fifth day).—A prickling sensation of closure in the anus, espe- cially iu the evening (sixth day).—[40.] Sensation of forcible closure of the anus, with crawling, prickling, and sticking, more while walking than while sitting (eighth day).—In the evening there was several times a sen- sation as if a stool would occur, associated with a stitch from the region of the bladder to the rectum, which became forcibly closed, and some flatus was passed, but only after long pressure (sixth day).—Frequent desire for stool, that suddenly disappeared (eighth day). Stool.—Instead of one stool there were two; the first, in the morning, was unsatisfactory, but not hard; the faeces were lumpy, like balls of hare's dung, without being hard, and of a normal color (fifth day).—Stool, which usually occurred in the morning, now occurred about 4 p.m., with long pressure and straining, as if the faeces could not be evacuated from the rectum ; the evacuation was scanty, hard, like sheep's dung (sixth day).— Before falling asleep an evacuation, half of which was hard, the rest soft and rather thin, accompanied by prickling, biting, and burning in the anus for a long time after the stool (sixth day).—In the evening a small evacu- ation, at first thick, afterwards thin, but not hard, with prickling and con- traction in the anus after the evacuation (seventh day).—About 1 p.m. a small half crumbly, half normal evacuation without difficulty (ninth day). —About 10 p.m. a somewhat hard stool, accompanied and followed by burning and soreness in the anus, and a sensation as if the anus were drawn up into the rectum and something hard were still remaining there (ninth day). Urinary Organs.—Burning in the orifice of the urethra while urin- ating during stool (sixth day).—[50.] The urine passed the previous even- ing had become turbid, as if mixed with clay, with a thin film over the surface, looking like fat, and breaking to pieces when the liquid was moved ; the urine was bright yellow, almost straw-colored (second day). The urine 104 SPIREA ULMARIA. passed was bright yellow, but after standing an hour, a flocculent cloud seemed to hang on the upper surface; an hour later (two hours after urin- ating), this cloud sank to the bottom (third day). The urine passed yes- terday is cloudy, as if mixed with clay, the surface covered with an iri- descent film, with numerous red granules; these, when collected, had the appearance of sand, and when pressed by a knife, gave a crackling noise and formed brickdust powder. The urine passed in the morning, fasting, was clearer than that of yesterday, but had the same cloud. The urine became milky soon after it was passed, and after a few hours deposited a clear flocculent sediment, which, when collected on the filter, was slimy and of a rosy-red color, mingled with much red sand. A part was collected from the filter and mixed iu the glass tube with nitric acid, which dissolved the mucus with odorless frothing ; the liquid then had a clear yellow color, and the grains of sand fell unaffected to the bottom. Another portion was mixed in a glass-tube with sulphuric acid, which completely dissolved both the mucus and sand, and the liquid became dark brown ; there was no frothing, but the liquid had a strong odor of decomposing urine. The third portion was mixed with muriatic acid in a glass tube, but there was not the slightest change (fourth day). The urine passed in the morning was clearer than yesterday, and developed a cloud hanging from the upper surface, even before the urine became cold (fifth day). The urine passed this morning was decidedly darker than that of yesterday, without, how- ever, being too dark ; a cloud immediately formed after becoming cold (sixth day). The urine passed the fifth day formed a cloud but no sedi- ment ; that passed on the sixth day the same, but had again a red sand, and the cloud lying at the bottom exhibited everywhere a number of these grains of sand looking like frog-spawn ; the urine passed on the seventh day had the same character. The urine passed yesterday was still clear, showed no trace of decomposition, though it had stood the whole time in a warm room (seventh day). To-day the urine, while yet warm, formed a cloud, was clearer than on the fifth and sixth days, but darker than on the fifth day (eighth day). The urine passed yesterday became turbid and cloudy; after twenty-four hours had a slimy flocculent sediment of a dirty rose-red color. The urine passed toward evening was quite clear and lemon-yellow. The urine passed on the fifth day was beginning to decom- pose, but without being turbid; that of the sixth, seventh, and ninth days is unchanged ; that of the eighth day has, in addition to a cloud, a white pellicle, like an iridescent film of fat on the surface. The urine passed to- day developed a cloud while still warm (ninth day). The urine passed on the ninth day is very turbid aud cloudy, with iridesceut flakes, that with difficulty sank to the bottom; it has already begun to decompose. The urine passed in the morning, and also that of the eighth day, has not begun to decompose. The cloud lying in the bottom of the vessel is full of large grains of red sand. The urine passed on the ninth day has the same pecu- liarities, with the addition of a white fatty film on the surface, in which are entangled numerous grains of red sand. The urine passed on'the tenth day is the same, rather turbid yellow, has a cloud at the bottom, but no perceptible colored sand. The urine passed last evening is lemon-yellow and very turbid (tenth day). Sexual Organs.—In the morning, in bed, violent erections, with great sexual desire (seventh day). Respiratory Organs.— At 7 p.m., without any apparent cause, cough at first dry, afterwards loose, with tickling and scraping in the throat] SPIREA ULMARIA. 105 that continued long after the cough (eighth day).—On inspiration, the air of the room seemed very cold and as though he had been chewing pepper- mint (eighth day). Chest.—In addition to the burning sensation in the oesophagus felt all day, there was a pressive sensation in the region of the manubrium sterni; was exactly like the pressure caused by swallowing too large a morsel of food or a large piece of hard-boiled egg (fifth day). Pulse—Pulse 90, hard and tense; afterwards 66, weak, soft (sixth day); 60 (seventh day); small, contracted, hard, 100; afterwards full, large, 76 (ninth day). Superior Extremities.—In the flexor muscles of the forearm a feeling as if cramp would come on ; whenever he attempted to lift anything heavy, a real cramp occurred, that disappeared in the afternoon (eighth day).—Veins of the hands greatly distended. Inferior Extremities—In the afternoon, heaviness in the lower extremities, as if full, especially on ascending steps (eighth day). Generalities.—In the afternoon great exhaustion, with stretching of the limbs and yawning (seventh day).—[60.] Weak, prostrated, and weary with sleep; was obliged to lie down after dinner and sleep for a few hours; after the sleep he was somewhat refreshed (eighth day).—After the midday nap there was an indefinite feeling of discomfort over the whole body, as after an illness, or like a foreboding of fever, a kind of unsteadiness while walking or moviug about, disappearing after moving about, towards even- ing (seventh day). Sleep.—Overpowering sleepiness and heaviness in all the limbs, with dulness of the head (thirteenth day).—In the evening it was difficult to fall asleep, and at night there was restlessness with frequent waking and tossing about, with indefinite dreams, of which he had no remembrance on waking (first night).—Very vivid dreams during the midday nap, without ability to remember the dream on waking (seventh day).—In the evening, lascivious dreams and emission (thirteenth day). Fever.—At 5 p.m. became very warm in the usual temperature of the house, and heat seemed to creep over different parts of the body, especially the head, shoulders, and chest, with a feeling as though sweat would break out, and with a moist forehead; the veins of the hands were swollen, the hands burnt and were moist.

She suffered a continuance of these symptoms with little variation, and totally without rest for nine hours, being all this time restrained in bed by force in a raving and maniacal state,37.—In about five minutes he became "wild, and didn't know any one." In ten minutes I fouud him seated in a chair, leaning forward on his knees, staring wildly, countenance bathed in perspiration, pupils largely dilated, talking vaguely, and perfectly un- conscious of surrounding objects, pulse 90 and full, hands and arms con- vulsed, every few moments legs unable to support his body, aud dragged after him when we tried to get him to walk,205.—Although he changed postures a little, yet he remained stupid for six or seven hours; then he raged furi- ously, requiring two persons to hold him in bed ; notwithstanding which, he raised himself up, tossed greatly, aud seemed to catch at the bystanders with his hands, uttering incoherent sentences; at last he became sensible and more quiet, restless, and delirious by turns/*.—She is all the time in- consolable; much affected by trifles; makes much fuss about trifles; dis- posed to weep, and sometimes also very easily vexed; now and then ne- f lievised by Hughes. 184 STRAMONIUM. gleets her duties; now and then thinks she is not fitted for her position; after the fall equinox; from the darkness, being alone, and in the morning her state is aggravated; she wants light (sunshine) and company?\—"The child had the look of one suffering from the effects of alcoholic drinks; an ex- cited condition, not a moment quiet, constant motion of the hands and feet, at one time singing, jumping, whistling, with lively grimaces, and a most jovial condition, in which she sang melodies in a perfectly correct manner; at another time she became excited, beat about her, jumped out of bed, reeled whenever she attempted to stand, and when she attempted to sit up fell over to either side; the next moment she had the most vivid hallucinations; talked much in a dis- connected manner, it seemed as though her tongue could not follow her chaotic thoughts,™2.—[50.] Complete stupefaction and general insensibility to ex- ternal impressions, only interrupted by a few transient moments of recog- nition ; as a rule, the boy noticed nothing about him, did not recognize his parents and sisters, heard nothing and felt nothing; he seemed to be in a condition of frightful excitement, with constant mental activity, as shown by the expression of the face and gesticulations, appearing to be occupied with the most vivid fancies, especially joyous, and, at times, frightful images; at times, when he was able to talk, his speech consisted of the most foolish aud active delirium, with prattling; sometimes he seemed to be frightened, sometimes astonished, sometimes pathetic ; but it was very seldom that he uttered intelligible words, and as a rule, there were no words, only a shrill screaming and groaning or loud laughing, with attempts to sing or whistle,233. —"She would, while held in her mother's lap, suddenly start as if in terror, with outstretched arms and glaring eyes, and with such an effort that it required much exertion to hold her. This would last but a moment, during which she would cry incoherently; then a calm would come over her, and she would laugh, grasp at imaginary objects, conveying the hand to her mouth as if eating berries, point to something on the floor, etc.,204.—"He muttered unin- telligible sounds, looked wildly around, and could not be made to do what he was told, though he apparently understood all that was going on. He kept wanting, seemingly, to clutch at some person or persons, whom he imagined were before him; but he could not use his arms, though he tried to do so (after twelve hours),201.—Complete insensibility, broken occasionally by a parox- ysm, during which they would utter some indistinct sounds, and throw the hands about the head as if attempting to ward off some threatening evil; this would soon subside into a semicomatose state, not the stupidity, how- ever, which results from Opium or its preparations, but rather a state of intense apathy, which persisted for a few seconds, when the delirium would again recur unless sooner produced by the efforts of those about to render assistance, when the state of excitement assumed such a form and violence as to render necessary a certain amount of restraint to prevent escape from the imaginary object which engaged the attention ; occasionally they would grasp at something in the space in front, appear as if they possessed or re- jected it, then turn the head as if called by a voice beside them and attempt to speak to it; *the sound resembling a squeak more than the natural tone of the voice. Neither of them was able to support himself alone upon his feet, but would take a step or two with staggering gait, falling to the floor as if intoxicated or in a state of complete exhaustion. "During the period of excitement the extremities were in constant motion, co-ordinate only so far as they related to the corresponding limb, yet wanting in that har- mony of action which is found in those movements of a higher order, as stand- ing in the erect posture, walking, etc.; there was constant action of the fingers STRAMONIUM. 185 as if attempting to pick something from the person or the bedclothes; at times they would burst into paroxysms of excessive laughter, which would persist some seconds, then suddenly cease ; at times they would have a smile, so quiet and pleasant, that we could not but contrast it with the highly excited state previously witnessed,193.—^Sometimes she would appear for a moment to be relieved from her anxiety, and sit silent, with her eyes fixed on the ground, as if absorbed iu contemplation ; whilst her hands were employed in picking at the clothes, or anything that happened to be before her, similar to those in the last stage of some fevers. "Then, again, she would start invol- untarily, quick as if a shock of electricity had passed through her body, with an air of affright, and a loud shriek; her limbs writhed with convulsive mo- tions, and her countenance and body distorted in every direction; apparently affected with great pain and anxiety. At other times, iu her intervals of ease, she would sing, and sometimes laugh, but could not be made to utter a word ; neither did she appear to take notice of anything that was said to her. In short, the functions of her mind appeared to be entirely deranged. These paroxysms occurred at intervals of five or ten minutes, and continued about the same period. She manifested a great aversion to fluids of every kind. When a cup of water was brought to her lips, she would instantly start from it, and sometimes relapse into her paroxysm ; so great was her aversion to it. that it was with the utmost difficulty a teaspoonful of any fluid could he forced down her throat,40.—The appearance of the family was extremely ludicrous. The children were laughing, crying, singing, dancing, and playing all imaginable antic pranks. They had no correct estimation of distance, or the size of objects; were reaching their hands to catch hold of objects across the room, and again running against persons and things which they appeared to view as distant. The nail-heads in the floor were pieces of money, which they eagerly tried to pick up. A boy, appar- ently fancying himself undressed, caught a hat belonging to a student, thrust his foot into it, pulled with both hands on the brim, and began to fret that he could not "get on his trowsers." The parents frequently called on the children to behave themselves ; but their own actions being equally eccentric, they afforded a ridiculous exhibition of family government,109.— They turned natural fools upon it for several days. One would blow up a feather in the air, another would dart straws at it with great fury ; another, stark naked, was sitting up in a corner, like a monkey, grinning and making mouths at them ; a fourth would fondly kiss and paw his companions, and sneer in their faces, with a countenance more antic than a Dutch doll. In this frantic condition they were confined, lest in their folly they should destroy themselves. Iu eleven days they recovered, unconscious of any- thing which had passed,110.—He became delirious, and knew nothing of himself until he was relieved ; during this time he performed many queer antics; one time he was off to hitch up his team ; again he gathered up sticks and placed them together to build a fire ; then he would motion as though he would scrape lice and bugs together, shake them out of hats; pull the paper off the wall to get them out; pick them off himself and tramp them, etc.; see rats running and try to catch them ; he was very talka- tive ; did not know even his wife, nor where he was; wanted to go home, etc. (after fifteen to thirty minutes),234.—"Screaming, catching at imaginary objects in the air, or rather striking at them, for it was evident that these spectra were of a frightful nature, since at the moment of darting out the hand in the direction where the eyes were fixed, she always suddenly, and with great vehe- mence, withdrew herself, expressing the utmost terror in her look; at the same 186 STRAMONIUM. time screaming and .sobbing violently. Her eyes would, to appearance, fol- low the imaginary object for a moment or two, before she made the effort to escape from its supposed approach. She rapidly became furiously delir- ious, struck at, pushed, or attempted to bite, every person who came near, or any object that ivas offered to her. In two and a half hours she knew no person, and had been wholly insensible to surrounding objects for above an hour and a half. She remained in this condition for about three hours, when a stage of coma supervened, lasting two hours. There was a return of the excitement, but not so severe as that which first presented itself; neither was it attended by ocular spectra, or tetanic spasm,102.—The first symptom was a high degree of exhilaration, in which she caused much merriment by her extravagant gestures and speeches. This soon became alarming, and when I was called to see her, she was laughing, crying, and singing, by turns, proceeding from one to the other state with the greatest rapidity. She occasionally started with great force and alarm, crying out that she was going to fall, when she would cling to her mother with as much desperation as if she were about to be thrown from a precipice. She would next become calm, then whistle, and afterwards point with her finger at muscae volitantes, which she followed with the eye and hand, at last clutching at them, with an appearance of disappointment at want of suc- cess,91.—[60.] The child was to all appearance happy, talking all the in- coherent nonsense that can be imagined, laughing, and in constant motion ; but labored under so great a debility, that it could not stand or walk with- out tottering, and several times in attempting it fell down ; it was a per- fect delirium mite,74.—The unfortunate, after swallowing the powder (of Stramonium), remains for a long time out of his mind, laughing or crying or sleeping, for the most; even speaking to another and answering, so that you might think sometimes that he was in his right mind, although he is not in his senses, nor recognizes the one to whom he is speaking, and does not recollect the conversation when he returns to consciousness,58.—After sleeping a few hours he suddenly sprang up with most remarkable jumping about on his hands and feet, and talking animatedly; eight hours after this he became conscious, "ivith trembling of the limbs, which were in constant motion; the face was red and puffy, with violent throbbing in the arteries; the pupils were extremely dilated, respiration short, rapid, abdomen meteoric and painful to pressure, tongue white and dry?39.—On becoming warm in bed, I felt a host of new sensations creeping over both body and mind. My whole frame was affected with a tremulous vibration, "but most sensibly felt through my abdomeu, attended with a prickly sensation over the whole body. My mind became extremely timid and restless, which rendered all attempts to compose myself to sleep fruitless. After a teaspoonful of elixir of paregoric, I felt every symptom getting worse; the surface of my body was bathed with a clammy perspiration ; whenever I attempted to close my eyes I was assailed by imaginary spectres, in the most hideous forms aud menacing attitudes; and what was still to my torment, my bed was sus- pended and tantalized like a feather between two floors,92.—A clouded state of faculties, horrible obfuscation. A patient twice told me he was quite alarmed at seeing how bewildered and incapable I was ; I upset everything I touched ; he seemed to me to be talking out of a cloud, or as if he was a figure in a vision and not a reality, and when he ceased talking, I sub- sided into a sort of bewilderment, from which I could with difficulty rouse myself to attend to his case; my writing was almost an unintelligible scrawl; I lay down again till evening, dizzy and incapable, with dull STRAMONIUM. 187 headache on vertex, but not much pain ; I could not realize anything; my wife sitting by my bed seemed like a phantom, aud I put out my hand occasionally, to feel if she were a real existence. Before this extreme coudition of bewilderment came on, I was excessively forgetful; would begiu a sentence with a perfectly clear idea of what I intended to say, but forgot all about it before I had completely expressed myself; also I used wrong words, and expressed my meaning badly. My speech was thick, as if my tongue were too large for my mouth, though I felt nothing wrong in my tongue, but only a sort of globbering articulation (ninth day),233.— She was first discovered after drinking the tea, wandering in the backyard scrambling along the fence, as if trying to get hold of something indis- tinctly visible, for being called to account for her strange behavior, she could give no reply, but slavered and muttered as if drunk. She appeared foolish, had the peculiar facetious leer often observed in drunkenness. If let alone, she continued clawing everything within reach, and seemed in- clined to constant motion,166.—AVhen asked, she said she had eaten Stramo- nium ; this was all she remembered (after half an hour); her mother gave her medicines, but she continued dull and stupid the greater part of the day, till brought to the dispensary; part of the day she was unmanageable and talked wildly, so that her mother had to give her the medicine by force. On admission (after eleven hours), she had a wild appearance, was stupid, aud unconscious of her state ; when roused, she gave a foolish vacant look around,183.—A\Then pinched or tickled, he became very angry, and muttered incoherently, turning upon his face and kicking backward, with alternate movements of the feet,172.—[AVith horrible cries he strikes at those around him, and is furious!,15.—^Hydrophobia,6113.f—[70.] "Ap- parent dread or aversion to water or fluids of any kind?3.—"Paving, biting?1*. —"Great desire to bite and to tear everything with his teeth, that comes before his mouth, even his own, limbs?.—* Excessive aversion, amounting even to rage, when it was attempted to administer any liquid, appearing like hydrophobia ; he even had the spasmodic irritation of the pharyngeal muscles, so that anything taken choked him and was regurgitated,153.— *Rage,29.—"Rage; unmanageable; grasping with his hands; laughing; roll- ing and creeping around in bed?1.—[Rage ; he wants to kill people],15.— [Rage; he wants to kill himself],15.—Indomitable rage.27.—After fifteen minutes, giddy; loss of senses; sleepy, finally asleep with more or less open eyes.

Iu all the graver cases, the stage of excitement was succeeded by excessive drowsiness and depression of pulse, with much prostration,159.—"Restless, uneasy, tossing, throwing herself suddenly forward; striving to get out of bed; grasping with her hands vaguely, as though under the influence of spectral illusions; picking at the bedclothes?11. —* While in bed lying on right side, screamed and said that the bed was being drawn from under her, and that everything was falling on her; kept holding on to the walls; asked her mother not to leave her, as something was going to hurt her; all this lasted from 9.30 p.m. till midnight, when she slept.

after two hours (and after a bath) he began to move his mouth as if he wished to speak ; this continued for some time, until he tried to utter articulate sounds, which became more and more distinct; the first words he spoke were, "Take care, I shall strike;" after a time he seemed to be living in a perfectly ideal childish world, with games of school, etc.; these ideas seemed to alternate in a loose way with speeches, songs, and verses, which were recited and sung in various tones ; also he seemed to be eating berries, cherries, etc., made chewing motions with his mouth, and counted with his fingers;

She lived about thirty minutes and died in a spasm,111.—Found in convulsions.

AVhen I first saw him the intervals between the recurrence of the spasms varied from thirty to sixty seconds. There was spasm of all the muscles of voluntary motion/46.— Convulsions; she uttered cries and vomited small quantities of an appar- ently alcoholic fluid ; severe tremors ; the convulsive movements continued, especially on touching her/32.—[940.] Her muscles were rigid, and her body stiffened; she appeared to be in a " spasmodic fit," as he termed; there was twitching in the muscles of her shoulders; her arms, hands, and legs, as well as her body, were stiff, and her head was thrown back; he could not raise her, so he waited till the spasm had passed (after three minutes, as supposed) ; in a few moments the muscles relaxed; after an interval of about five minutes she went iuto another spasm ; the teeth closed tightly, the breath forced through with considerable exertion, and she groaned as if her sufferings were intense; then came another intermission which lasted about ten minutes, when she bad a third spasm, not quite so hard as the others, though similar; water was thrown in her face, which seemed to convulse her, but slightly. Her limbs were rigid, her hands half clenched, and she was frothing at the mouth ; this last spasm was most severe of all; it lasted till her death, which took place in about five min- utes from the commencement of the last spasm, and thirty minutes from the first attack/16.—Lying ou her back on the floor, quite seusible ; arms 260 STRYCHNINUM. and legs stretched out to their fullest extent; hands clenched ; toes flexed ; legs close together ; body in a state of opisthotonos; countenance livid and anxious; eyes starting from their sockets and fixed, pupils widely dilated, conjunctiva highly injected, teeth firmly clenched, breathing irregular, and at times almost ceasing; skin hot, bathed in perspiration, and steaming; pulse rapid and scarcely perceptible; the spasms relaxed at times, but did not entirely cease for one minute, and on the slightest touch of the body or legs, or on attempting to give her anything to drink, she would im- mediately cry out, " My legs! my legs! hold me ! hold me!" and theu utter a shriek ; the head would then become drawn back, arms and legs extended, hands clenched, and the body in a state of opisthotonos ; face and head a deep purple; foaming at the mouth ; teeth clenched ; eyes protruding aud fixed ; heart palpitating violently, and the breathing ir- regular, and as if drawn through a reed. No action of the bowels or bladder took place/06.—Convulsed ; pupils dilated, pulse full and rapid; he could not swallow the mustard; the convulsions became more rapid, they were of a peculiar character ; the back and body became arched and rigid ; the head was bent backward, and I believe he rested on his head and heels; the slightest touch of his person brought ou the spasms. He frequently cried out, " Hold my legs, lift* the clothes off." At length he had a severe convulsive attack, the whole body became rigid and arched, the color of the face became dusky and almost blue ; this attack lasted about a minute ; during the spasm he had a sardonic grin, the teeth were exposed, the mus- cles of the face drawn, and in that condition he died in about twenty miu- utes after he took the medicine/35.—Every three or six minutes a paroxysm of horrible convulsions of the whole body, catalepsy, with opisthotonos, contraction of the abdominal muscles, loss of consciousness, the limbs cold and muscles hard, face of a cherry color, respiration impeded, aud con- vulsive motion of the facial muscles; these paroxysms would last a min- ute, after which the limbs would regain their flexibility, and respiration would proceed normally (after secoud powder)/29.—Immediately every- thing seemed to turn green, and he suddenly fell to the floor, with inability to move his limbs, while his whole muscular system was in a state of tremor. He remained unable to move for about five hours, when he succeeded in reaching the nearest house in the course of two hours by walking and crawling between the spasms, which were of frequent occurrence. Violeut spasms occurred at intervals of about half an hour, and about four thrills per minute passing through the system (after twelve hours)/26.—Iu fifteen minutes lying on back, convulsed constantly with the severest form of te- tanic spasms. At times his whole muscular system was rigid, and he lay in the opisthotonos position, resting upon his head and heels, with the body raised from the floor in the form of an arch. Several of these terrible spasms occurred in the space of a minute ; his jaws were firmly locked, and the approach of anything toward the mouth caused a recurrence of the spasms/1.—Spasms of the lower limbs, afterwards he was seized with a vio- lent attack of convulsions, during which the face was pallid and assumed a tetanoid expression, and it was impossible to move, or even touch him, without excitiug horrible convulsions, which shook, not only the bed, but the room. At the height of the paroxysm the body was raised off the bed, as in opisthotonos, and then fell heavily. These effects were produced even by the act of feeling of the pulse, or moving the bedclothes. The arms were thrown above the head by the first attacks of spasms, but subsequently they were thrown violently forward across the body, and greatly agitated. STRYCHNINUM. 261 The eyes, during the spasms, were open, not turned up or congested. The pulse became exceedingly quick, and the respirations were 44 in the min- ute. The thorax heaved much, and some urine was voided during the fits,83.—Partially conscious, but unable to answer questions intelligibly; in a very few minutes he seemed to be entirely unconscious and would say nothing; he straightened out and became quite stiff. During the hourand a half that followed, the spasms of the patient were so severe that it took three, and often four persons to keep him on the bed ; he would throw him- self about, snap at a hand that touched him, strike, and kick ; suddenly his body would curve backward and rest on the head and heels, with the elbows on the bed at the sides; the muscles would continue to contract, drawing the head farther and farther back, until the occiput almost touched the spine, and the face was buried in the pillow; occasionally he would extend his arms at the side, with the fingers straight and separated, and rising to the sitting posture would stare wildly about the room, as if fearing some danger. As the symptoms grew worse he would take a long breath, straighten out and remain quite rigid, and it would seem as if that was to be his last breath. The intervals between the spasms were very short, and much of the time there was an almost constant repetition of the above- mentioned features/57.—On touchiug him, great agitation and jerking, im- mediately followed by a loud, sharp scream, increased suffusion and redness of the face, mouth open and stretched laterally, lips livid, eyes staring and much suffused, pupils dilated, head thrown back, spine and neck bowed, arms and legs rigid and cold. The fingers were straight, but bent at their metacarpal articulations, so that their points almost touched the palms of his hands, and the toes were also straight, but bent at their metatarsal articulations towards the sole, which was very much incurved. The mus- cular contractions were especially noticeable in the stump of the left leg, which had beeu amputated some years before, almost conveying the im- pression that the cicatrix would burst open. The attempts to respire were attended with great distress, and suffocation seemed imminent. The length of time between the fits varied, but during the time I watched him the intervals could seldom have exceeded five minutes. A medical student, who took careful observations and notes of the case, states that " the spasms occurred in groups of two or three, followed each other at intervals of about two minutes," then there was a longer interval, then another group, and so on. During the intervals the patient was perfectly sensible, in fact, his senses were preternaturally acute, and the slightest noise in the room, the play of children on a green some yards from the house, were all noticed as exciting causes in the production of spasms. During the spasms excruciat- ing pain, with a feeling "as if his heart was coming into his throat," and accompanied by a sensation which he compared to "plunging through a wave when bathing,"155.—AVhen I saw her she was lying with limbs ex- tended, and somewhat rigid ; feet everted, head thrown slightly back, neck stiff, countenance pale aud anxious, eyes wide open, pupils large, eyeballs oscillating at short intervals, skin moist aud cool, pulse 84, full and soft. On touching her wrist to feel the pulse, she was thrown into severe tetanic spasm of the voluntary muscles, worse in the arm touched, and in the mus- cles of the back of the neck. After two doses of Tannic acid the spasms became more violent; there was trismus, the jaws closing tightly ou the cup whenever she attempted to take anything; general spasms, accom- panied by opisthotonos and asphyxia followed/53.—[950.] Convulsions ; the paroxysms came on every three or four minutes; he was conscious of their 262 STRYCHNINUM. approach, and entreated us to hold him, to raise him up, or to lift hira out of bed, till his body became fixed, his head drawn back, and articulation impossible. Iu this condition of complete opisthotonos he remained for about a minute, his face livid, and death apparently inevitable,149.—Tetanoid convulsions affecting the muscles of the trunk aud spine; a rigid and te- tanoid state of the muscles of the lower and upper extremities; the limbs extended, and the feet aud hands drawn powerfully inwards, the patient seeming to touch the floor only with the head and heels/47.—In the course of five minutes I began to feel slight cramps in the calves of my legs. The cramps increased in intensity and extended to the feet and thighs, causing the most intense pain. I attempted to rise from the chair, but fell to the floor with convulsions in the lower extremities, which became violent on the least attempt to move, and the feet were drawn in toward each other, becoming stiff and immovable, save as the occasional convulsions shook them. Unsuccessful attempts were made to bathe them in hot water, each effort to raise me bringing on a violent paroxysm, in the last one of which I thought my jaws had become unhinged. I was now perfectly paralyzed from the hips down, and suffering the most exquisite pains, which began to extend upward, the muscles of the shoulders aud neck soon being con- siderably convulsed, the forearms still being free from pain. I now bade my wife " good-bye," and prepared for the final struggle, which I knew must be near at hand, as I had now become rigid from the neck down (save the forearms); the convulsions of the muscles were becoming fearful, and the torture awful to endure. And now came on a tremendous convulsion. My hands were drawn into my sides, with the fingers drawn apart and slightly bowed, and the jaws became rigid. I felt myself raised as if by some mighty power, and fixed immovably, with only my feet and head touchiug anything. I heard some one say, "It is all over with him," aud felt something like a black pall settling down upon my brain, when I be- came unconscious of everything except my own agony, which was now beyond all description. I could feel my heart fluttering like a wounded bird, and my brain beating and throbbing with an irregular motion, as though at every beat it would burst from its confinement. Every joint was locked, and every drop of blood seemed stagnated. I remember thinking that it could not last long thus, when I must have lost consciousness/47*1.— The patient was lying on his back, in bed ; his body slightly inclined to the right side; face and body covered with profuse perspiration ; countenance indicating the most intense pain and fear; head thrown back, and the muscles of the neck and back greatly contracted. This opisthotonic con- dition would last only a short time (the exact time not observed), and then gradually subside. The remission would not be complete before the tris- matic symptoms would again return with increased severity. The pulse varied from 90 to 110 beats. The mind remained unimpaired, and also deglutition and articulation, except when the spasm was on him/1.—In about forty minutes he was taken with a fit; he was lying on his back, touching the bed only with his head and heels, and in violent tetanic spasm ; his legs, arms, and hands were stretched to the widest possible dis- tension; his mouth was gaped open, as if kept asunder with a gag; his face was purple; his eyes were puffed ; his pupils immovable ; his nostrils distended ; every muscle of the body in the strictest tension, and respira- tion entirely suspended. His heart, however, was beating, and with a regularity aud tranquillity that, under the circumstances, was very remarka- ble. He remained in this situation for a minute or more, when the action STRYCHNINUM. 263 of the muscles was suddenly reversed, drawing his head and thighs vio- lently together, and jerking him almost off the bed. He now seemed con- scious of the imminent danger of suffocation, and turning his eye implor- ingly to his friends, made the most distressing and desperate attempts to gasp and clear his throat. A little tenacious mucus was finally forced up into the mouth ; the spasm of the glottis was relaxed ; a long sighing in- spiration occurred; the convulsion ceased, and he fell back on his pillow exhausted, but perfectly conscious. This intermission was short, and again the same congeries of symptoms appeared, perhaps more intensely violent, certainly of longer duration; and thus they were repeated, with almost unabated force aud frequency, for three hours. The convulsions, as they came on, were always tetanic in their form, but often ended in the epileptic, being scarcely absent, however, in one or the other form, two minutes con- secutively, for the first two hours immediately subsequent to my seeing him, and the patient being often unable to utter a word for fifteen or twenty minutes at a time. Once or twice the respiration was suspended for so long a time that I feared he had ceased to breathe forever,80-—Convulsions, with slight rigidity; she was very sensitive to external impressions, the contact of the cup to the lips being sufficient to produce a paroxysm re- quiring four men to confine her to the bed, lasting two or three miuutes ; the paroxysms occurred every five minutes when she was quiet; the least movement or touch was sufficient to renew them immediately,71.— His head became suddenly and convulsively retracted or drawn back; the spasms were violent, and seemed to cause him great pain, as expressed by the varied contortions of his features; the prevailing form of spasm now affecting the trunk seemed to me exactly that which is called the opistho- tonos of tetanus; the muscles felt remarkably rigid, not only during the actual spasms, but also during the intervals between them; the spasms would not come on regularly and spontaneously, but during the short in- tervals that occurred between them, the slightest touch on the surface would reproduce them before the moment of their recurrence would arrive (after one hour)/9.—Spasm of the muscles of the neck; when I put my hand under his head to assist him to drink, I could not raise it from the pillow; next, his teeth were so firmly clenched that two men could not separate his jaws; then his knee-joints became as rigid as bars of iron; and, lastly, his body was raised off the bed and rested on the head and heels; the spasms were slight at first, but speedily became terribly severe; they were not constant, but alternated by intervals of repose/7.—A fit came on, indi- cated at first by a slight heaving motion of the person, the body rising and falling alternately with the spasms. This motion continued slow at first, but gradually increased, and with it the patient's distress and anxiety, until the arms and hands were affected with similar spasmodic action and drawn up to the breast; breathing was suppressed, except only an occa- sional catching and by short gasps; the head thrown more and more back- ward, opisthotonos increasing; face distorted by the spasmodic action of its muscles, and rendered ghastly by its variations of color from red to white, and then quickly to a livid or purple hue; eyes staring, and as the fit increased, shaking the body in a fearful degree; the large dilatation of the pupils suddenly appeared, indicating the approach of general muscular relaxation and fatal exhaustion of the vital energies, as the consequences of so terrible a struggle, and such indeed was the case, for with a few faint efforts to breathe, all signs of vitality ceased,63.—Several spasms had oc- curred, and one was instantly induced upon my offering her a little whisky 264 STRYCHNINUM. and water in a spoon. She opened the mouth to receive it, and immedi- ately the teeth were closed spasmodically, and the whole frame, though still rigid, shaken as by a fit of epilepsy. The arras were brought suddenly against the chest, the hands pressing the throat with spasmodic action Respiration ceased ; the eyes grew more staring, and as if projecting from the head, the pupils dilating meanwhile. Although the interval between the paroxysms, after using chloroform, was at first apparently lengthened, it subsequently grew shorter and shorter. The length of the first was about fifteen minutes, the second nine minutes, the third about five to seven, and so on until there was but little or no intermission of the spasms, and these grew more violent. The fourth or fifth was terrific beyond description, be- ginning, as the others, with suspension of respiration and clonic spasm of the arms and hands, and a tremulous agitation of the whole body. The color of the face came and went with a rapidity which astonished the be- holder, till the florid changed to a purple, and this only in isolated spots with a boundary of distinct white. On the neck, shoulders, and chest, this rapid transition of color was also observed. Added to this was the distor- tion of countenance, occasioned by the spasm of the facial muscles, giving almost every conceivable variety of horrible expression which the human face is capable of assuming. And over and above all, the feature most conspicuous, and which gave intensity to the scene of horror, was the eye. The lids expanded to their utmost capacity; the eyeballs seemed fairly to stand out from their sockets, staring with the expression of a demon, while the doubly rapid dilatation of the pupils to their fullest extent gave an unearthly glare that was awful to look upon, forming together a tout en- semble of the terrific expressions such as might aptly represent our truest ideal of the impersonation of all evil/4.—[960.] She awoke and screamed out "I am poisoned!" started up in bed, fell back again, sprang up again, vomited, fell back in bed again, beat the bedclothes violently with her arms, became convulsed all over, then stiff, her eyes staring in her head, and her features contorted. Soon, again, she sprang up in bed with a wildly-frightened aspect, uttered a suppressed shriek, fell back in bed, the left side being convulsed ; beat the bedclothes with her arms; was oppressed for want of breath, not gasping, but could not breathe; could not inflate the lungs, the muscles of the chest contracting so violently ; the eyes promi- nent ; pupils dilated, with a glaring, staring, wildly-anxious gaze ; features contorted ; mouth drawn to one side; the convulsions spasmodic, agitated twitchings, assuming a tetanic form ; she became quite stiff/1.—Spasmodic attack more or less severe; the last of these seemed to be induced by the application of a cup to the lips, and was very intense and prolonged; the patient started suddenly up in bed, his whole frame being in a state of complete opisthotonos; the respiration at first impeded, became suspended, and it was only by the continuance of long artificial respiration that it was restored; the limbs were rigid and the fingers clenched; pupils dilated; during the spasms, evident relief was afforded by forcible extension of the body; in the intervals, there was constant twitches of the extremities/4.— About an hour and a quarter after he had taken some pills, violent scream- ing; beating of bedclothes with his arms; complained of feeling of suffoca- tion ; head drawn back ; moving, as by jumping or jerking, both in the head and all over the body ; difficult breathing ; eyes projecting ; gasped when he spoke as if difficult for him ; hands fixed and stiff, asked to be rubbed; twitchings in the arms and body during the rubbing; twitched all over. In taking some liquid, he snatched at the spoon and seemed to STRYCHNINUM. 265 bite it very hard ; his body was then jerking and jumping; snapped in the same way at a glass containing a draught which was given to him ; fit lasted half an hour, then became composed. Twenty-four hours after this attack, from which he perfectly recovered, seized with another and more severe attack, about an hour after taking two pills; started up; stiffness of neck, which he asked to have rubbed ; uttered loud screams ; dreadfully convulsed in all the muscles of the body ; opisthotonos ; complained of suf- focation ; asked to be lifted up and turned over; could not be done owing to the rigidity of the whole body; quite conscious; heart's action gradu- ally ceased, and he died tranquilly about one hour and a quarter after taking the pills/3.—Starting every fifteen or twenty seconds as if he felt an electric shock ; the spasms all resemble each other, and only differ in de- gree of severity and time of continuance, the lightest lasting about ten seconds, and the most severe holding on for five minutes. A description of one will give an idea of them all: He starts very suddenly, and imme- diately his legs are drawn asuuder as far as possible; his body is curved upward, so that his head and heels only touch the floor, a foot or more of space intervening between it and his back ; the muscles of the arms and legs are rigid ; those of respiration are frightfully affected, so that it is with great difficulty that he breathes at all; his face becomes blue, then almost black; jaws tightly closed, and the stomach, partaking in the general con- traction, forces up its contents, which stream in jets through his clenched teeth ; at times his hands and arms are free from spasms, and in the more severe paroxysms he used his fingers to force open his teeth and mouth that he might vomit and breathe more freely; he calls upon us in every such spasm to press upon his abdomen to keep.his back down to the floor; the opisthotonos seems partially overcome by this action. His spasm has now held on more than three minutes, during which he has not breathed at all; he has lost all consciousness, and indeed exhibits all the appearance of a suffocated man ; his tongue protrudes ; his eyes staud out from their sockets; we can perceive no action of his pulse or heart, aud yet the par- oxysm holds on notwithstanding all we can do to overcome it; at last the muscles relax and the spasm gives way; he does not seem to breathe; presently reviving under some stimulants, he remarks, "I can't stand another like that." He was not without spasms, more or less severe, for any longer time than one minute during four hours. He can lie in no position but on his back ; whenever he turns to one side the opisthotonos is terrific, and compels him at once to turn on his back and call for pres- sure upon his abdomen. Every spasm seemed to him like an electric shock; the moving of a chair or any other noise, however trifling, gave rise to a spasm ; he says it seems to him as if the noise itself were material, or that from the noise came something material down his spine; seems as if a stroke of lightning came to him from the place where the noise was pro- duced ; the slightest touch, even of a feather, upon his toe gave rise to a hard spasm ; when no motion or noise occurred in the room or in the house, aud nothing touched him, he seemed more quiet. During the more severe spasms, he felt as if dying from intense suffering all over the body, with heat and intense pain in the head ; felt as if he "was passing into death." AAre were fully persuaded that the convulsive force seemed to be augmented by any long-continued quiet; he invariably had a harder spasm when from stillness of the room he had remained for a few minutes unaffected by spasm and resting; the force seemed to accumulate/3.—The attempt of the patient to take liquids was followed by so violent a spasmodic fit as to prevent her 266 STRYCHNINUM. swallowing it, and to give that apparent dread of water so well marked in cases of hydrophobia. Even after her request for water, on attempting to give it, she would find herself so incapable of swallowing it as to request that its administration might be deferred until the fit was over, the effort to place the cup to the mouth being generally sufficient in itself to iuduce a relapse of the spasms,40.—Lying back in the chair in a very convulsed state, every limb shaking. She was placed in an easy reclining position, and in a short time she partially recovered ; but for a considerable period the shaking was so powerful that it took several persons to hold her hands open, which it was thought would be beneficial. There were short inter- vals of recovery, during which she uttered some exclamations expressive of great pain ; but the least motion produced another paroxysm, and iu this state she continued for nearly two hours, when she died/1.—Found in a state of convulsions; one of these fits lasted several minutes; the body was throwu out of the bed by the simultaneous contraction of the extremities; the face was swollen and purple; the eyes fixed and looking upwards; the respiration but little affected; the pulse full, small, aud intermittent; the surface of the body covered with a cold sweat; after various attempts to swallow, spasmodic action of the gullet prevented the passage of both liquids and solids; during the brief intervals between the attacks, the pa- tient lay perfectly quiet, snoring, and insensible ; after six severe attacks, within half an hour, he died,27.—Violent spasms like epilepsy/.—On at- tempting to rise from a chair was thrown violently backward, as quick as lightning, and remained fixed upon the chair for an hour and a half/.— Severe spasmodic attack, her body quivering as though under the influence of a galvanic shock, accompanied with difficulty of breathing; attacks in- creased in violence; when cold water was applied to her lips the twitching returned,70.—[970.] Frightfully convulsed, her head being thrown back- wards by the violence of the spasm, her arms and legs being at the same time affected with severe spasms, and her jaws firmly closed,59.—Violent convulsious; the spasms contracted and bent the feet, and the hands were clenched, too, and he died in one of the convulsions, quite black in the face/8.—Violently convulsed (in ten minutes)/4.—Violent spasms, during which she shrieked out, the body being perfectly rigid and arched, resting upon the extremities/8.—Severe twitching of the muscles (after first dose); violent convulsions (after second dose)/5.—Violent spasms, accompanied by violent shocks in the abdomen,22.—Very much convulsed and cramped (soon)/5.—Frightful spasms, with black color of the face/14.—Extensive, frequent, and severe spasms, and with each a blowing of froth from the mouth (after three hours) ; sensitiveness to external impressions increased, so that the spasms, like electric shocks, would ensue upon the slightest causes, as the touching of the bed, contact of a spoon upon the lips, a sud- den step, a jarring of the room, or the slightest noise (after twelve hours)/21. —Frequent spasms (after one hour)/24.—[980.] Fearful spasms/02.—Fell on the floor and died in violent convulsions (after half an hour),101.—Fell to the floor, screaming with pain in his legs (after two hours and a half); violent spasm, resting on his head and heels, his teeth firmly clenched, his eyes open and staring from their sockets, pupils dilated, and countenance livid (after three hours)/9.—Violent convulsions; she was sensible during the intervals of the paroxysms, and frequently said, "Keep me down,"92.— Strongly convulsed, with every symptom of tetanus/3. — Violent clonic spasms/39.—Violent paroxysms every five or ten minutes/31.—Body and limbs perfectly rigid with spasms, which, when occasionally relaxed, was STRYCHNINUM. 267 excited by merely blowing iu the face, or by the shaking of the floor in walking,133.—Stretched on his back ; countenance expressive of the most painful suffering and distress ; his frame shaken by convulsive spasms; his limbs rigidly extended ; his head slightly bent backwards; his feelings so morbidly acute that the slightest touch seemed to aggravate his suffering and to bring on a spasm/9.—The terrible spasms of the muscular system, the lightning-like jerks of the limbs, the throat-latch grip, strangulation, and all the horrible phenomena attending a fatal dose of this medicine; the doctor went through the whole catalogue of the horrors aud sufferings of a living death, and during the latter part of the night it seemed impossible that he could live; he was finally relieved by Chloroform and Morphia in solution, but the muscular spasms did not entirely cease until the afternoon of the next day, and the lameness or stiffness of the limbs and neck, and consequent debility of such an experience as he went through, continued for several days. During all the long hours of his unspeakable suffering, through that night and the next day, and when it seemed impossible that he could live through another spasmodic shock, his mind was perfectly clear, and he was entirely resigned to his fate,120.—[990.] Violent convul- sions and opisthotonos/45.—Lying on his back in terrific convulsions; the heels, head, and elbows firmly pressed into the bed, in paroxysms iu which the body seemed entirely supported on these points; the paroxysms were short, and came in rapid succession, perhaps lasting two minutes, with in- tervals of half a minute or less; they came on with violent clonic convul- sions, in which the muscles of the dorsal surface greatly prevailed over those in front; they quickly became more quiet and steady in their action, and gradually relaxed until the body came in general contact with the bed; the tetanic rigidity remained in some degree till the next paroxysm, which was not postponed more than half a minute; a slight touch of the forehead produced a violent convulsion with the suddenness of an electric shock; the accidental touching of his foot produced a like result/15.—Vio- lent convulsions, like electric shocks, passing through the chest, jerking the whole chest and body up so that the shoulders would strike and rebound; neck drawn, with constant grappling of the same by his hands, indicating strangulation or asphyxia, with the hollow of the feet in each of the infe- rior extremities drawn inward. During the whole of the spasms the heart beat feebly, though regularly ; eyes open with a vacant stare ; pupils con- tracted ; palpebrae passive or apparently paralyzed/4.—He lost all control over his limbs, and fell down in violent fits; he raised a peculiar loud sob- bing shout; the head was thrown back violently; the jaws became locked; the muscles of the neck started into rigid relief; the arms, trunk, and legs shot out into a straight line, and but for the assistants he would have fallen like a log of wood on the floor; the muscles felt as hard as iron, and ex- hibited a tremulous vibration similar to that produced by the action of a strong electro-galvanic current; the fit lasted three minutes, and recurred at intervals of ten or twelve, being succeeded by great prostration, rapid pulse, hurried breathing, and profuse sweating; the spasms were excited by the gentlest stimulants, such as feeling the pulse, touching the feet, or moving the bedclothes (the effects of which he likened to an electric shock) ; in offering him a pill or little water to swallow, a forcible blowing expira- tion took place, from spasm of the respiratory muscles and buccinators/9.— He asked for drink, but took it with difficulty, as the attempt brought on convulsions, and was effected only after several attempts ; when swallowed, it was ejected by jerks/6.—The severe fits were comparatively few, but be- 268 STRYCHNINUM. tween them slight fits came on in rapid succession ; indeed, the attempt to take any liquid would generally be sufficient to induce one, and even merely pressing gently the muscles of the jaw, or an attempt to open the mouth by pressing on the lips and teeth, was sufficient to excite an attack,40.—In three-quarters of an hour violent spasms, subsiding at intervals of from four to eight minutes; during spasms, violent shaking of whole body, which was extended, stiff, and rigid ; spasms at first most marked in back and legs; in ten to fifteen minutes they fixed upon the thorax; violent tetanus supervened ; fixation of all the muscles of inspiration/7.—Application of the hand to the abdomen caused the countenance to change color and brought on rigors (after ten hours)/32.—Could not move without convul- sive action (after thirty minutes)/23.—Tetanus/.—[1000.] General tetanic convulsions and trismus, for six hours,10.—Convulsed constantly with the severest form of tetanic spasms, and at times his whole muscular system was rigid, and he lay in the opisthotonos position, resting upon his head and his heels, with his body raised clear from the floor in the form of an arch. Several of these terrible spasms occurred in the space of a minute. His jaws were firmly locked, so that he could not swallow, and the approach of anything towards his mouth caused a recurrence of the spasms/5.—Tris- mus, with the upper and lower extremities completely rigid, and paroxysms of opisthotonos and emprosthotonos occurring alternately. A paroxysm now took place every six minutes, each one lasting about two minutes, and during the emprosthotonic condition he uttered a violent shriek/4.—Con- tracted state of the whole muscular system ; the body assumes a tetanoid condition. There is a superexcitation of the nerves, proceeding from the cerebrospinal axis/5.—The effects of this agent, when given in small doses, repeated at regular intervals, are of a tonic character/5.—The slightest noise or touch caused tetanic spasms, during which the patient uttered frightful screams/8.—Tetanus and opisthotonos, with trembling aud tris- mus,122.—Tetanic spasms, with asphyxia, alternating with paralytic relaxa- tion,24.—Tetanic contraction of the extensors of the forearms and hands, with frequent twitching of the extensor tendons, followed by tetanic rigid- ity; head violently thrown backward or to one side: these spasms were followed by remissions and recurrence,118.—AArhole body affected by tetanic spasms; arms tightly crossed over the chest; head drawn backward; eyes distorted ; frothing from the mouth ; face livid ; the spasms remitted for a few seconds, but returned more violent than before/12.—[1010.] AVhen brought into the hospital he had several tetanoid convulsions/9.—Strong tetanic spasms (after one hour)/8.—Almost completely tetanic/7*. — He conversed in gasps, asked to be held when the tetanic attacks were coming on and to be turned over during their presence/6.—Tetanic spasm ; the head and neck were drawn back ; the face from being flushed became col- orless, livid; the eyeballs rolled, and the pupils became largely dilated; the forearms were semiflexed and pronated, and the wrists and fingers flexed and pressed upon the chest, upon which she begged the bystanders to "brize," to prevent the arching of the spine; the lower extremities were widely separated, resting on the heels, with the feet moderately extended; perfectly rigid; opisthotonos; the pulse, which had been full and com- pressible during the paroxysm, became rapid, small, and almost indistinct. After the lapse of some minutes the spasm relaxed, the face again became colored, the eyes red, and the pupils natural. Several spasms followed, in one of which she died asphyxiated/8.—The effects produced by the action of Strychnia manifestly proceed from its action on the spinal column, and STRYCHNINUM. 269 this is not generally of such a nature as to exhibit any visible alteration, even to the scrutinizing examination of the microscope. The muscular system is thrown into violent tetanic action, resulting in decided opisthoto- nos, and, notwithstanding this, the cerebrum seems but slightly affected, since the mind of the person, laboring under these violent convulsions, may be clear and undisturbed. His intellectual faculties will be unimpaired by the action of the Strychnia, and rational answers will be quickly given in reply to all questions propounded to him'. The effect must be slight on the cerebrum, but the whole force of the poison is expended on the medulla oblongata and the meduha spinalis/5.—During the tetanic fits the body was stiffened and straightened, the neck violently drawn back, the chest fixed, the eyes protruding from their sockets in a horrible manner, the legs pushed out aud widely separated, the muscles of the face convulsed ; pulse imperceptible, and no breathing could be perceived ; the face was livid, more particularly the lips, and froth issued from the mouth. During the paroxysm the pupil was much dilated, becoming contracted after the vio- lence of the fit had subsided,40.—Lying upon the bed in a complete tetanic convulsiou, his head somewhat drawn back, countenance completely livid, with some frothy matter issuing from his mouth, with frequent moans; the palpebra in constant motion ; this first paroxysm may have lasted some five minutes, which was succeeded by an interval of partial calm ; this in- terval lasted perhaps five minutes, when another paroxysm commenced by a little starting and stiffening of the extremities, and immediately the whole body was thrown into a tetanic paroxysm, in appearance like the first, and lasted two or three minutes, when death ended the struggle. The time of taking the article till death ensued could not have beeu over twenty min- utes/*.—Extremely violent tetanic shocks/03.—Very violent tetanic convul- sions; the extremities, upper and lower, were perfectly rigid aud extended. The patient trembled violently, and was one shaking mass in constant mo- tion/8.—[1020.] ATiolent tetanic spasms in rapid succession, like the effect of shocks from an electrical battery; occasionally they would relax for a moment, but the slightest touch upon the surface, or an attempt to present anything to his mouth, seemed to redouble their violence; the convulsive movements precluded the possibility of deglutition of an emetic/2.—An at- tempt to give emetics produced a most severe tetanic spasm. The jaw was firmly fixed, the extremities stiff, and the body bent back in a state of com- plete opisthotonos/6.—On rising up that the spine might be examined, he was seized with a violent tetanic convulsion, in which there was complete opisthotonos and great difficulty in breathing, as well as severe trismus. The fit continued for about four minutes/5.—Violent fit of tetanus,40.—Vio- lent tetanic convulsions/58.—Violent tetanic spasm, the limbs extended and rigid, the jaws firmly fixed, and the body in a state of opisthotonos/00.— Ariolent tetanic spasms, peculiar in that they were produced whenever any one approached the bed, whenever she was spoken to, whenever the covers were lifted, and on the slightest touch, as from feeling the pulse; the spasms lasted several minutes; did not completely relax in the raasseter muscles; those of the upper arms and calves remained rigid and contracted; the convulsions were ushered in by screaming; there was no impairment of consciousness/05.—On raising the eyelids, in order to ascertain the state of the pupils, a violent tetanic paroxysm was induced; just as the spasm commenced, the patient shrieked out, "Hold my legs; I am dying, I know I am!" The attacks rapidly succeeded each other, and gradually increased in severity,100.—In about one hour she was seized with terrific tetanic con- 270 STRYCHNINUM. vulsions, which lasted several hours/5.—Violent tetanic spasms, lasting each of them for about half a minute ; they lasted altogether about a quarter of an hour (after two hours)/36.—[1030.] Violent tetanic spasms of almost all the muscles; the head thrown back; respiration difficult from the spasms of the respiratory muscles; congested appearance of the face, with a wild or anxious look; eyeballs prominent and staring; pupils dilated ; pulse, in time of the most violent spasms, quick and hardly perceptible at the wrists; in intermission, full, regular, and 100 to the minute/34.—Severe tetanic convulsion, involving nearly all the muscles of the body and ex- tremities, which lasted for about one minute aud a half. The chest was fixed ; respiration became difficult; the body was bent backwards (opistho- tonos). This was followed by an interval of rest and relaxation of all the muscles, but the patient seemed to be much prostrated. Slight convulsive starts and twitching of the hands followed at various intervals. After the attack the patient became so sensitive that the slightest touch or movement of the bed, or a sudden noise, would cause a spasmodic jerking of the whole body,119.—Frightful periodical tetanic convulsions of the voluntary muscles and congestion of the face. At first opisthotonos was so severe as to force him off the bed on to the floor. During the attack the feet were inverted, the soles of the feet arched, the fingers cleuched (not forcibly), the elbows flexed, the arms bent over the chest, the eyeballs fixed and protruding, pupils dilated, the neck stretched backwards and twisted. The attacks occurred at intervals of half an hour, more or less, and were so violent as to shake not only the bed but even the house/6.—In about twenty minutes he was seized with a most violent tetanic convulsion, which lasted for about a minute, with well-marked opisthotonos. The intercostal muscles were so rigid, and his face was so blue and swollen, that it seemed as if suffocation must ensue. He appeared to suffer intense agony, and uttered most heart- rending cries/44.—The extremities began to move spasmodically, and the whole system seemed to be under the influence of a potent poison ; a violent tetanic convulsion occurred, in which the body became quite rigid, the ex- tremities violently extended, the hands firmly clenched, the lips puffed out aud frothy mucus protruded, driven out as it seemed by some enormous force which was producing the total expulsion of air from the lungs; the hands were dark blue, nails blue, face livid, and features horribly dis- torted ; the pulse was very feeble and hardl}T perceptible. The convulsion soon passed off, with, however, no decided freedom from thetetanoid condition. Ou endeavoring to remove his boots, so as to plunge his feet into hot water, violent convulsions were produced, and every indication of agony was mani- fest on his countenance; his limbs were so firmly and stiffly extended, that it was impossible to do more than semiflex them, although the toes were somewhat limber; after the feet were in the hot water some five or six minutes, there was a relaxation of the spasms, but the tetanoid condition gradually came on again, and a most violent paroxysm ensued. There was considerable frothing at the mouth, complete opisthotonos, lividity of the face, entire cessation of respiration and movements of the heart; he was thought dead for the moment by all around him; gradually, however, the circulation seemed to be re-established, aud the respiration to become easy and regular. Soou, however, the tetanic symptoms again presented themselves, and another, though less violent, attack was experienced. There would be slight intervals, lasting for a few minutes, of freedom from spasmodic action, and then a recurrence of spasm, until, finally, a violent convulsion ensued, in which the body became very rigid, the extremities STRYCHNINUM. 271 violently extended, face livid, changing to a pale and bloodless hue, eyelids opened widely, and the pupils dilated ; the paroxysm was protracted longer than any preceding it. All efforts to overcome the spasm were in vain. Death ensued in somewhat less than three hours and a half after the poison had entered the stomach,66.—Seized with a violent tetanic spasm, affecting the legs and muscles of respiration, and had only time to call out for as- sistance before the sensation amounted to that of absolute suffocation (ten minutes after second dose). Spasms now followed each other in rapid suc- cession, the intervals being about a quarter of an hour or twenty minutes, and the affection was confined principally to the legs, back, and respiratory muscles, the arms being comparatively unaffected. The numbness and dragging of the muscles, which had been continuous duriug the first five hours, disappeared entirely during the intervals of the spasms, and the pa- tient was left without any uneasy sensations, excepting the exhaustion of the previous fits aud the apprehension of its successor. During the whole of this time he was not only perfectly conscious, but his seusesswere preter- naturally exalted, and he distinctly heard a variety of whispered observa- tions of the physicians and his friends. The paroxysms, after continuing for some time, began gradually to diminish, the intervals became longer, and the duratiou of each spasm shorter, and it was hoped that they were about to pass off, when all at once they returned in their original violence. This proved, however, to be the last expiring effort of the poison, for the symptoms now entirely ceased, about thirteen hours after the first dose was taken. At the conclusion of the spasms, the patient was left in an exces- sively exhausted state; from this, however, he recruited with great rapid- ity/6.—The spasms ceased at times, during which the circulation improved, the cyanosis disappeared, and consciousness returned,108. — AVhole body rigid,148154.—Rigidity of the body, alternating with violent spasms/7.—The whole body suddenly became stiff and rigid, with momentarily threatening suffocation/.—[1040.] The whole frame rigid, except the arms and hands, which she could exert with comparative freedom and ease. The muscular system generally was on the stretch. The legs were stiff, and the feet drawn down and fairly bowed; the thumbs slightly drawn in, presenting the appearance of carpo-pedal spasm. The muscles of the chest and throat, and especially the latter, were in active play, as though laboring to over- come some powerful obstacle to the admission of air to the lungs; an ex- quisite sensitiveness of the nerves of sensation/4.—Stiffening in the muscles generally, especially in the legs from the knees upwards, and iu the left hand (eleventh day)/28.—She was found quite stiff, her eyes staring, and her hands clenched,137.—Muscles rigid/31.—Muscles of the body generally, but especially of the legs, very hard/36.—Extreme rigidity of the whole muscular system.

He attributed this to a glass of wine he had drunk at dinner contrary to custom. Sleep twice interrupted, and each time the itching in the eye was present (four- teenth day). About 4 p.m., tickling in the outer cauthus of the left eye, and soon afterwards itching in it so violent as to cause him to rub it. In the evening, by candlelight, the itching extended to the inner canthus and changed into a shooting pain, on account of which it was midnight before he fell asleep, and not until he had allayed the pain by means of cold com- presses (fifteenth day). In the morning the affected eyelid was covered with a dry cake of mucus. The upper lid felt stiff on first opening the eyes, otherwise nothing morbid was visible. On going out the eyes watered for a short time, but there was very little itching in the left eye (seven- teenth day). Slight adhesion of the lids at the left external canthus (nine- teenth day).

At the same time the upper lid itched SULFUR. 301 (after five to ten minutes) to such a degree that he must involuntarily rub the eye. This he did gently, so that it could not have caused the symp- toms that followed. Thus the itching increased in the evening to burning ; the lids winked frequently, aud the light hurt the eyes (second day). In the morning he awoke with stiff eyelids, which, however, soon regained their ordinary mobility. The lids and the caruncula were both injected of a bright-red color. During the day the eye was pretty well, with the excep- tion of the redness above described, aud occasional itching on the borders, as if they were covered with crusts that ought to be removed. But on the approach of night and at the sight of caudles, the edges of the left of the eyelids commenced to burn, and photophobia came on. On reading or writing the eye watered, and the pain increased, preventing him going on with his work (third day). In the morning, on awaking, he could not open the eye immediately on account of the stiffness of the lids; he only- succeeded in doing so after several trials, and then there appeared a con- siderable quantity of mucus, which obscured the sight, aud in spite of fre- quent wiping away continued to return.

It was only in the right wrist and thumb that these drawing pains were present almost all day; they were very troublesome and accompanied by a feeling of weak- ness, so that a slight exertion of the right hand, e.g., opening a door and the like, was difficult and increased the pains (twenty-third day),X—Drawing in the lower incisors, in both thighs, in the fingers of the left hand, and in the back below the right scapula (thirtieth day)/4f.—About 8 a.m., draw- ing in the left side of the jaws, and afterwards in the right thigh, the metacarpal bones, and the fingers of the right hand.

As I did not believe that these wandering pains were caused by Sulphur, I continued to take it. About a week after the first appearance of the shooting pains, there occurred on the slightest motion, a very troublesome feeling of fatigue. The shooting pains now gradually declined, but in their stead occurred contractive pains, especially in the muscles of the thighs, which often proved a serious ob- stacle to my walking. In four days these contractive pains were felt deeper, as if in the bones, especially in the femora and right tibia. The head of the right tibia became very painful and could not bear the slightest touch, and after the slightest movement I had to go and lie down. Now almost convinced that these symptoms must be the effect of Sulphur, I in- tended to leave it off, but as I had a few more globules I took them all.

The scales fell from the head and morbidly affected skin in smaller quantity than on the previous day, but they were still more plentiful than usual (ninth day). The scales on the head in great numbers; whilst taking a warm bath, he noticed the surface of the water speedily covered with fine scales; on former occasions, when taking a bath, the scales were much fewer in number, were in larger flakes, and only appeared after using soap; the patches of eruption appeared less red after the bath than usual (thirteenth day). The scales on the head were less numerous this morning when he brushed his hair, but they became much more abundant during the day, and were in the form of a fine dust; on the patches of eruption on the body, no loosening of cuticle was peceptible, as was formerly the case during the first few days after taking a bath (fifteenth day). After awaking at a quarter to 5 a.m., and drying the body, he noticed that the patches of eruption were paler, not so dry, and not so wrinkled as usual; the scales, too, which were partly detached, were in smaller quanti- ties (twenty-first day). Scales on bead diminished very much (twenty-second day). Of the smaller scattered eruptive spots, several, especially those on the left arm, were completely gone, and on the larger patches, here aud there, little islands of healthy skin ; the other eruptive spots were still colored like liver-marks, wriukled, slightly elevated, but they scaled less, and felt less rough (twenty-fifth day). The eruption continued to make slight but perceptible progress to amendment, by the increase of the num- ber and size of the healthy islands on the morbid skin (after twenty-six days). The disappearance of the eruption took place not by a gradual and uniform return of the morbid skiu to the normal state, but by the increase and extension of many healthy points (hair-follicles) among the still morbid patches, whereby the latter were separated into still smaller groups, and were at last limited to a few spots the size of hemp-seed or lentils, corresponding to single hair-follicles, which, by the end of Septem- ber, were quite gone from the arms and chest; there still remained some groups on the belly and back, and in the months of August and September, some new eruption-spots appeared on the legs, which had hitherto remained free, excepting a small spot on the right calf; subsequently, these new spots disappeared unobserved,35b.—The skin was reddened on several places and itched (fortieth day)/9.—*The day after smoking the Sulphur, he had intolerable itching over the whole body; this was followed, in a day or two, by the appearance of reddish blotches over the trunk and extremities?1.—"In the evening, itching on various parts, in the face, chest, and hands; after scratch- ing, a slight redness appears (fifty-fifth day)/5b.—Right cheek covered with a number of small red painless spots (fourteenth day); red spots on right cheek are gone (fifteenth day)/1.—On the upper lip, a red elevated itching spot (fourth day),45b.—A red spot on the upper lip, which went off in half an hour (one hundred and twenty-first day)/5*.—[3400.] Red itching point in the middle of the upper lip/.—Ou the left lower jaw, towards the cheek, an itching spot on the skin, which becomes red on being rubbed, and ex- hibits slight elevations (one hundred and forty-second day)/56.—In the morning, there appeared on the left cheek, near the ala nasi, a small red spot, which attained the size of a lentil (forty-second day). On awaking, in the morning, he remembered that, in a half-sleeping state, he had SULFUR. 391 scratched away at his left cheek, owing to the itching there; about twenty elevations, the size of millet-seeds, were to be seen there; they itched slightly when touched, and became more visible after dinner, when the cheek was somewhat redder and hotter (forty-third day). The eruption on the left cheek has increased in extent, especially near the ala nasi; traces of a similar eruption were also visible on the right cheek; after dinner, and in the evening after taking a little wine, the eruption became remarkably increased (forty-fourth day). In the night, again scratched himself violently; on looking at the eruption, in the morning, with a lens, he found, on the spots first formed, the epidermis coming off in small scales; he removed one of them on the point of a penknife, and found it was of a circular form, scarcely above a line in diameter, thickened towards the edge, and in the centre thin and transparent: the skin beneath the detached scale was elevated, red, and sensitive; after dinner, the aggravation of the eruption as of the previous day (forty-fifth day). Desquamation appeared on several of the spots; on the right cheek eruption is extending (forty- sixth day). The following days the eruption remained the same, but new scales constantly appeared on those spots that had already desquamated; in spite of the discontinuance of Sulphur, the efflorescence lasted in greater or less intensity throughout the next two months, and was always remark- ably aggravated after taking even very small quantities of alcoholic liquors ; it subsequently went away without anything being done for it/2.—Red burning spots in the upper aud forearms (after washing with soap and water)/.—There appeared on the right palm some not elevated, red, burn- ing spots, the size of a shilling, which went off after a few hours (twenty- ninth day); red marks carae again, and remained visible until evening (soon, thirtieth day); the red marks in the palm often appeared, but only remained for a short time (from thirty-second to forty-fifth day)/3.—After rising from bed, itching on several parts of the skin of the left hand (dor- sum of hand, over the first joint of the middle finger, on the outer border of the little finger, and on the palmar aspect of the wrist); after scratch- ing, red spots arise, on which several papule close together appear (these papule lasted several days and itched periodically), (first day)/5'1.—"Thick red chilblains on the fingers, which itch very severely when warm?.—Formation of an erythematous patch, the size of the palm, on the outside of the leg, which, especially at night in bed, itches constantly, compelling him to scratch, but afterwards is very sore (seventh day); erythema continues (ninth, eleventh, and thirteenth days) ; the erythema goes off", but leaves behind it a troublesome smarting in the leg, which compelled him to throw the clothes off* the legs at uight, as heat aggravated it (fifteenth day)/4.— A bluish-red spot suddenly appeared on the inner surface of the left index finger, like an ecchymosis, without pain, disappearing after three days (after four days)/8.—Blue spots and varices about the malleoli/.—[3410.] The skin of the back is covered with elevations (two hundred and forty-seventh day).45|J.—Liver-spots on the back and chest, which itch, in the evening/.— White itching spot on the cheek/.—Rash over the whole body, with violent itching, followed by desquamation of the skin/.—Rash over the whole body, with itching sticking/.—Rash and heat of face/9.—"Nettlerash, with fever (twenty-sixth day)/.—"Nettlerash eruption?1.—"Violent biting rash on the face, arms, and lower extremities?.—*Heat rash on the neck,1.—[3420.] Nettlerash eruption under the hips/.—"Nettlerash eruption on the back of the hand?.—"A scaly eruption, which had been driven away by external ap- plications, reappeared, with violent burning itching, after scratching/.— 392 SULFUR.

A small purulent deposit, surrounded by a pale-red areola, has formed, which lies imbedded in the skin, and above which the epidermis is still smoothly and uninterruptedly extended (twenty-eighth day). The purulent deposit is elevated into a small swelling, which is covered by a brownish-colored epidermis (thirty- first and thirty-second days). During the night, the swelling increased to thrice the former size. That which increased it so much was not, however, pus, but a transparent fluid, which had exuded beneath the pus and raised up the latter. The quantity of this fluid increased during the day, during which the pus gradually mingled with it. The red areola, which had sur- rounded the swelling as long as there was only pus in it, almost disappeared at first when the clear fluid collected among the pus. In the course of the day, however, a redness appeared at the border of the collection, which, gradually becoming more intense and extending further, at length died away at an undefined limit. Conjoined with it, there was in the affected finger and in the whole hand a throbbing pain, which was aggravated by the touch, and gradually went off in a burning smarting (thirty-third day). The tension and pain are mitigated. About noon, the swelling burst aud emptied its conteuts (thirty-fourth day). The collection of the fluid had included the greater portion of the volar surface of that part of the thumb where the nail is attached. On the ulnar side it extended almost to the nail, but the bed of the nail was not at all involved; consequently, it was not at all a case of onychia. The radial side of the thumb was quite free from disease/1.—At the border of the nail of the left thumb there occurs an extensive inflammation after an insignificant injury (twenty-fourth day). The inflammation spreads over the whole of the first joint of the thumb; pus appears at the wounded part, which was artificially evacuated in the evening (twenty-fifth day).

This itching was particularly bad in the hollow of the knees, and could only be removed by strong rubbing, which caused a very agreeable feeling. On the parts so rubbed there occurred small pimples, which discharged a fluid from their points; whereupon the itching ceased, but returned the follow- ing night.

On the second day the"specific gravity fell, the amount of sulphates became less, the albumen almost entirely disap- peared. On the ninth day, though there was no increase in the sulphates, there was again a small amount of albumen, and the microscope showed pale cylinders, with more or less fatty degeneration. This condition per- sisted; the uriue had, in addition, a very copious sediment of urate of ammonia; the amount of urine became more scanty, and during the last days of life the specific gravity was 1028.

Generalities.—A few hours after the bite the patients have great anguish of the heart, great dejection, but greater difficulty in breathing; they complain in a mournful voice, roll their eyes, and when asked by bystanders where they suffer, they either do not reply or point out the affected region by placing the hand upon the chest, as if the heart were affected more than all else. The symptoms observed after the bite of a tarentula are not constant and common to each person, neither are they all produced by each tarantula, but they vary according to the variety of the tarentula, the temperament of the diseased person, and the greater or less summer heat. It has been observed that tarentulas in the more northern region of Apulia are fiercer; the bitten people suffer severe symp- toms; especially they are charmed by various colors, green, blue, etc., but rarely by dark colors. And if approached by people dressed in a strong color, which is unpleasant to them, they must retire ; for at sight of the annoying color they are imraediately seized with anguish of heart and renewal of the symptoms. Different symptoms are produced by different varieties of tarentulas. The tarentula subalbida causes slight pain, fol- lowed by itching, sharp pain in the abdomen and diarrhea. The tareutula stellata causes more severe pain and itching, stupor, heaviness and pain in the head, trembling of the whole body, etc. The tarentula uvea causes, besides the above symptoms, swelling, great pain in the bitten part, spasm, chill, cold perspiration over the whole body, aphonia, inclination to vomit, tension of the trunk and chest, distension of the abdomen, etc. There are numerous and incredible symptoms of tarentula, many of which seem de- pendent on a depraved imagination; it will not be far from the truth if we report that after the intense severity of the symptoms apparent on the first days has declined, there is a peculiar melancholy, a bendiug forward of the neck, until either by dancing, or music, or by change of age the poisonous characteristics are eliminated from the blood and nervous fluids, which fortune is rarely attained, for having once been bitten, it is certainly evident that they cannot be restored to health. Many symptoms confirm TARENTULA. 539 this assertion of the nature of the depraved fancy; for many have sought the sepulchre and lonely places, and even extended themselves upon the bier. Desperate, they court dissolution. Maidens and wives, otherwise virtuous, the restraints of modesty being loosed, sigh deeply, howl, make indecent gestures, expose their sexual organs, are fond of pensile move- ments, etc., some at length twist about in their own garments, and take excessive delight in such movements. Others like to strike with whips on the buttocks, heels, feet, back, etc. Others have a great desire to run. Also strange fancies in regard to colors are observed ; for people bitten by tarentulas are charmed by sorae colors, and on the contrary, greatly re- pelled by others, aud according to the degree of the perverted fancy in turn, refreshed and made miserable by various colors/. — Stretched upon the ground and seemed as if he was just going to expire. When he heard the music he began to move accordingly, got up as quick as lightning, and seemed as if he had been awakened by some frightful vision, and stared wildly about, still moving every joint of his body. As I had not yet learned the whole tune, I left off playing; in an instant he fell down and cried very loud ; his face, legs, arms, and every other part of his body were distorted; he scraped the earth with his hands, and was in such con- tortions, that clearly indicated him to be in miserable agonies. On hearing the music again, he rose up as he did before, and danced as fast as any man could do ; his dancing was very wild ; he kept a perfect time in the dance, but had neither rule nor manner, only jumping and running to and fro, and making very comical postures, something like the Chinese dances seen on the stage, and otherwise, everything that he did was very wild/.—He immediately felt intense pain in the bitten spot, and fell to the ground with coldness of the body; with bristling of the hair, pain in the chest, tension of the trunk, the legs were weak, he sighed, complained, said that he was suffocating, wished to cry out, but could not. The next morning he was taken by his neighbors to the town where music was called iu ; he immediately began to dance, he was bathed in perspiration, was sleepless for a week, drank pure wine ; did not evacuate the bowels for four days, desired nothing, wished to be bathed with water, liked a red color, pursuing with the greatest hatred anything blue, which he tore to pieces and trampled under foot. At night he held his heels in his hands to scratch them, in which manner he was able to get a little sleep; he ate little or nothing ; but dancing for almost a week, he was cured by the per- spiration and music/.—The tarentula being killed, he returned home, but on the way suddenly fell to the ground, as if struck by apoplexy, followed by shortness of breath, blackness of the face, hands, and other extremities, etc. The patient revived as he heard music, began to sigh, moved first his feet, then his hands and the rest of his body, and soon after, on being raised to his feet, danced vigorously, with sighs so deep as almost to frighten the bystanders. He rolled upon the ground, and kicked vigorously. In two hours from the beginning of the music he had entirely lost the black- ness of the face and hands; the dance was repeated for three days, accord- ing to the custom, aud he was entirely restored by the perspiration thus induced. Each year, about the time of the bite, pain reappeared in the affected part with all the above symptoms, in less intensity, however; and unless he anticipated the assailing paroxysm with music and dancing, he was suddenly seized with the same symptoras, whence, when thus attacked about the time of the bite, he was carried from the field by his companions and restored by a little music,6.—Weakness of the legs, obscuration of sight, 540 TARENTULA. vertigo, cramps in the stomach, going upwards, without vomiting, coldness, cannot get warm, with an earthy gray, or bluish hue of the face,13.— [760.] Malaise, vertigo, stupor, violent cramps in the stomach, causing gagging without vomiting, coldness and livid face ; sweat at the root of the hair ; fever, with a furious delirium/3.—Malaise, vertigo, cramps in the stomach, painful coldness, earthy paleness of face ; fever and intense heat afterwards, with dryness and sensitiveness of the skin/3.—General symptoras due to scrofula/3.—Geueral and local dropsy/3.—A tendency to rachitis in scrofulous constitutions/3.—Rachitism due to syphilis/3.—Dis- eases of the bones, in general/3.—General, and almost sudden edema; feels oppressed and suffocated ; anxiety; the teeth are clenched ; nervous symptoms/3.—Weakened constitution by frequent uterine losses ; hysteric symptoms ; hepatic spots on the neck, and sometimes on the cheeks/3.— Retraction of one or more muscles/3.—[770.] Retraction of the muscles.

"During the second month of the proving, the spine, from the last cervical to about the fifth dorsal vertebra, became very sensitive, and the seat of a peculiar sense of irritation, which made the prover dread having the part touched or even approached ; this dread was disproportioned to the actual sensibility of the part when pressed or rudely touched, for this sensibility was not really very great; from the vertebroz above mentioned, a peculiar irritation seemed to radiate upwards into the neck outwards into the shoulders, and forwards through the thorax to the sternum; the distress caused by this sensation was aggravated by fatigue, but only partially relieved by repose; it was great and very annoying, and lasted, as I remember, nearly two months?1.—Drawing and dull pressure at the right scapula; soon afterwards also upon the left (first day)/.—Dull pain in the middle of the back between the shoulders/. —Sacral.

Inferior Extremities.—Dull pain, deep internally in the whole length of the right thigh; uninfluenced by change of position (after one hour)/.—The left thigh upon Avhich she lay became numb, and her feet cold (after four weeks)/.—Very tired in the knees and lower legs; worse on the right side; the whole evening, drawing in the right leg posteriorly from the right posterior superior spinous process down to the calf; worse in the kneeholder; the drawing in the right leg and the tireduess after lying down (11.30 p.m.) are so hard, that for awhile it prevents him from getting asleep, and compels him to frequently turn and twist; the sleep is good, with amelioration of all the pains (fifth day)/2.—At the outside of the right knee anteriorly, a burning aching (after eighteen minutes)/.— [170.] Pain in the right shin (eleventh day)/.—Pain in the right meta- tarsal bone, as if the bone were pressed (after half an hour, and second day)/.—A sharp pain passed quickly over the toes of the right foot, then into the heel (after one hour)/.

The fourth Tuesday she was quite free, but they came again on Thursday, and somewhat changed/. Skin.—"About fifteen or twenty days after the first dose, the left ear began to itch, burn, and swell; there were aching and throbbing pains in the external meatus, and, in the course of three or four days, there was a copious watery discharge from the ear, smelling like fish-pickle ; this 564 TELLURIUM. discharge was acrid and caused a vesicular eruption on the lower lappet of the ear and on the neck, wherever it touched the skin ; the inflamma- tion of the ear generally was not vesicular; the color was a bluish red, and the ear had the appearance of being infiltrated with water; this eruption, which was very troublesome from its itching and burning, and from the copious, offensive, and acrid discharge, lasted for a long time; if memory be not in error, nearly three months?1.—Pimples on the face (sec- ond day),10.—"Little stinging prickings in various parts of the skin of the whole body, continuing all the afternoon and evening, and forcing me in- stantly to rub the spot (first day) ; came on again like flea-bites here and there, and lasted all day (second day) ; this pricking continued very troublesome at times, principally when at rest, for several weeks, but gradually subsided. A little spot of herpes circinnatus made its appearance a few days since on the forehead, perpendiculary above the external canthus of the right eye, and about half an inch above the eyebrow; I do not remember ever before to have had an eruption of the kind ; it was at first a little cluster of globular vesicles, on an inflamed base, which dried into thin scales and spread by the circum- ference; it itches and pricks slightly (eleventh day). The herpetic spot is now circular, about half an inch in diameter, and consists of an elevated ring of vesicles, some larger than others, on an inflamed base, inclosing a depressed area of red skin, which desquamates, but contains no vesicles; it continues to itch slightly, and to furnish successive crops of thin white scales (eighteenth day). The troublesome stinging became very annoying the whole of the even- ing of this day, when sitting still, wandering all over the body. A herpetic spot, similar to the one on the forehead, has made its appearance on the left side, midway between the ribs and the crest of the ilium, accompanied by very troublesome itching, which changes into smarting on being rubbed; it forms about three-quarters of a circle, and is rather irregular; there are indications of another spot just above it (nineteenth day). For the last week the stinging in the skin has been much less, but it is succeeded by a constant itching of the scalp, which requires continual scratching; the itching is apparently due to an eruption of little fine vesicles upon a slightly-inflamed base, which, after remaining a few days, dry up and fall off in little white scales; they are most plentiful on the occipital scalp, on the nape in the borders of the hair, and on the posterior surface of the auricles; this itching has been constant and very annoying for a week, and bids fair to continue; the spot on the forehead is breaking up, there being several gaps in the ring, which is now three-quarters of an inch in diameter; just above it another spot has appeared, precisely similar, but smaller (forty-third day). The eruption has nearly disappeared from the head, and the itching has ceased almost entirely; the spot on the fore- head is no longer to be discerned, the skin being scarcely reddened where it existed; the new one is slightly increasing, and forms about two-thirds of a circle, but it is not as vigorous as its predecessor; the spots on the side have disappeared; I still have occasional stingings in the skin, but rarely (forty- ninth day). The spots have all gone, and I have no further symptoms (fifty- sixth day)/.—After a few days, an eruption; small red papules, which itch very much, on the abdomen, on the inside of the thighs, and on the peri- neum ; the itching is worse in cold weather/.—In the afternoon, a prick- ling itching at the scrotum ; worse on the right side; then on the inside of the left thigh, high up; then low on the right side of the abdomen ; then on the left side; later between the buttocks (second day)/2.—"After two or three days an eruption makes its appearance, such as he had never had; small red pimples, very bright red and very sharply defined, with minute TELLURIUM. 565 vesicles upon them, first on the lower extremities, then also upon the upper, most on the left side ; they began first on the outside of the calves, and then on the inside of the forearms, above the wrist, and spread from that point, caused very severe itching, day and night, but worst at night after going to bed,7.—[190.] "After about five days, there appeared on the left hand small red points, shining through the skin, which sometimes itch ; the feet also itch, especially the left one, as though there were some heat-vesicles there; after the lapse of several days, there appeared, first on the calves, and then extend- ing up to the thighs, similar small red isolated points, which itch, like those on the hand ; the itching is especially in those spots where the skin perspires most; the abdomen seems not to be affected ; but, after a few days, a number of similar pimples, itching like the others, appear in the epigastrium; on rubbing the parts that itch, these points become more visible; the itching is not unlike that caused by bed-bugs; from the epi- gastrium the eruption extends towards the left nipple, and lingers here as well as at the epigastrium longer than on the before-mentioned localities, and it finally turns towards the left axilla; at the same time also it itches in various parts of the back; meanwhile a spot is remarked on the right side of the forehead, which is sore when pressed upon, as if a blow had once been received there, which he does not remember to have been the case, neither is there any red or blue spot to be seen ; the itching now begins at the head, only at the posterior and superior parts, not towards the ante- rior part; the itching at the head lasts about fourteen days/. Sleep.—Yawning after the retching,2.—Early in the evening sleepy; went to sleep while sitting (after one hour)/.—The sleepy heavy condition, in which he was for several days before he began the proving, has van- ished ; instead thereof, a feeling of restlessness on going to bed/.—Wakened with sweat about 4 a.m. (seventh day)/2.—He dreamed at night of smoking cigars, a thing he never does/.—Nightmare,10.

General warm perspiration over the whole body, when seated writing, the afternoon being cool and a fine breeze blowing into the room (first day)/5.—Copious sweat for an hour and a half after the palpitation/.—In consequence of taking cold, he got into a very profuse perspiration during the night, and the sweat gave out the offensive Tellurium odor to so great an extent, that it was hardly tolerable, a phenomenon which he had opportunity to observe a second time during the course of this work/3.—Imparts to the perspiration a most offensive odor; he was obliged to absent himself four weeks from society on this account/5.—For six weeks continued sweat of the feet, espe- cially anteriorly at the toes, somewhat ill-smelling/.

Again 10 drops, at 9 o'clock again 10 drops; the water had now a temperature of 122° ; this was followed by some redness of the bend of the elbow, and the bloodvessels of the corium were distended. The itching increased. The oil flowed down both sides and spread over the internal condyle. The concentration of the oil at one point increased and accelerated its action. After fifteen minutes the 70 drops had already caused considerable red- ness. Increasing itching provoked scratching, which, however, was avoided on account of this increasing hyperemia. At 9.12 the itching was associated with some burning. 5 drops were repeatedly applied after 9 o'clock, between 9 and 9.5 as many as eleven times. At 9.15 the whole elbow was somewhat red ; on the side over which a large part of the oil had flowed there was considerable itching. In the bend of the elbow the burning increased. The dropping was continued, and at 9.20 the redness had extended transversely across the middle of the bend of the elbow, and the burning increased, and the dropping now became somewhat painful; the part began to burn acutely and fine stitches were felt. The dropping was continued. At 9.25, sticking burning, which increased and became very acute. The redness now spread over the whole bend of the elbow, and the skin became sensitive to touch. By 9.30, 140 drops had been applied to the elbow. The burning was quite severe. Every new drop- ping caused increase of the burning. The breath from the mouth was felt more acutely over the bend of the elbow than over other parts, and caused transient burning. 9.31, burning continued and was quite violent, the red- dened cutis was swollen, and when brushed with a feather or the finger, was decidedly more numb than natural. 9.34, the burning increased, there appeared a bright rosy redness with some swelling, numbness, burning stinging pain, and painfulness to touch. 9.40, very violent burning sting- ing in the whole bend of the elbow, extending also over the whole inner half of the joint to the olecranon process. 9.43, excessive itching and burning, as from the heat of a fire. 9.45, dropped the last 5 drops, fol- lowed by increase of the burning and stinging, with somewhat diffused burning, which was in some degree pulsative; associated with a feeling of pressure and tension over the whole surface, which was red, aud sometimes a deep seusation of pulsation. At times stitches were felt over the whole surface, at other times only here and there in the reddened place. The stitches increased to a certain point, and then diminished. There was also at times a sensation of soreness like a smarting. 9.50, the rosy redness and burning continued, with stitches and increased heat; the thermometer was 98.3° Fahr., against 95° in the right elbow. 10 o'clock, the burning continued, the redness was very great, with swelling of the cutis, sensation of heat, numbness, increased sensitiveness, swelling of the hair-follicles; the burning was worse on the inner side of the joint, and pressure caused pain, followed by aggravation of the burning. On the second day there 580 TEREBINTHINA—TETRADYMITE. was still some redness, the sensation of touch was not yet normal, and the skin was somewhat sensitive, with increased warmth. On the third day, after some pain during the night, the skin of the elbow was fouud to be spotted with circumscribed dark redness of the bend of the elbow. On the fourth day there were dark-red spots, some of which were intensely red. The appearance in general was similar to extravasation of blood; in the evening of the same day there were found to be at least five spots in which the epidermis had been incompletely raised by exudation, and touch caused sore pain.
