MIND.
► Delirium, [248], [249]. ► Great delirium, with lucid intervals, [249]. ► Wildly delirious, but
quite fantastic, almost hysterical, laughing wildly and crying, and not at all conscious;
pupils widely dilated; he evidently saw visions, as in delirium tremens, for he was
constantly grasping and picking at imaginary objects; the odor of Belladonna was strong from
his hands and feet; quite blind, and stared vacantly, [264].
► Violently agitated, throwing his limbs about, groaning
and moaning. Apparently unconscious, and did not speak, nor attempt to do so. These symptoms
continued for an hour and a half without intermission. He then became comatose, and so
continued till his death, [268]. ►
After three hours she was very delirious, talking fast, and throwing about her arms in an
excited but feeble way; her pupils were widely dilated and insensible to light; her pulse
was 126. Three-quarters of an hour later she was very restless, tossing about the bed,
picking at the bedclothes, and throwing about her arms in a meaningless way, but partially
conscious of what was said to her. A “calabarized disc” was placed in one eye (the
left); in about twenty minutes the left pupil had contracted to a pin’s point, the right
pupil remaining widely dilated and insensible to light; the eyes continued thus till death,
which occurred sixteen hours after taking the poison, [269].
[2550.] ► He was
quite delirious, the delirium being of a mild vagarious of fantastic character. He could
neither hear nor speak plainly, and labored under hallucinations, but was otherwise
unconscious. The pupils were widely dilated, and the eyes had a staring look. At first he
complained of pain in his throat and of imperfect sight, objects appearing white to him. His
pulse was feeble, and almost countless. Urine small in quantity for the first twenty-four
hours, [262]. ► The
symptoms were similar to those in case one, with the addition of a flushed face, more active
delirium, the grasping at imaginary objects and picking of the clothes being also much more
marked, [263]. ►
Immediately after the second draught he walked out, and noticed at once dimness of vision,
dryness of mouth and throat, constriction of fauces, a feeling as if the tongue was
enormously swollen, dulness of intellect, and weakness of knees, with want of muscular
co-ordination. Having reached his room at 6 P.M., two hours after second dose, he became
alarmed at his symptoms, called his landlord to his assistance. The patient was running up
and down the room, drinking large draughts of water, upsetting pitchers, and in danger of
falling. Medical aid was summoned at once. It was noticed at this time that the tongue was
very red, and the secretion of urine increased. There were hallucinations like those of
delirium tremens, disagreeable, vanishing instantly, and immediately after their departure
the patient was aware of their unreality. The yellow corpse of a tall man, shrouded in
white, tried to share the patient’s bed with him, and the unwelcome visitor was promptly
ejected. A crimson serpent came from the foot of the bed, with the design of fastening upon
the patient’s neck. Rising to his knees, he with his fist drove the serpent’s head deep into
the bed, and instantly the apparition vanished. He asked his attendant (for he was
practically blind) if the blanket had a red border to account for the hallucination. There
were large sea-turtles about the room, such as he had seen in the Pacific. After an hour or
two of sleep in the early morning the delusions became agreeable, and continued all day.
While riding out in the afternoon with a medical friend, trees became personified to him as
people in fantastic costume. In the morning there was severe pain in both renal regions,
which he partially relieved by pressure with his fists, the elbows planted in the bed, and
the body raised in that way quite off the mattress. Further details are given derived from
medical attendants. The delirium was “most busy.” Picking things from the
bedclothes, rising in bed to gather things from the pictures and walls, muttering to
himself, he had little time to notice those about him. Great mental and physical
prostration, sleeplessness, and pain in the left kidney followed the accident, [285]. ► He was very
restless and noisy. He was continually getting in and out of bed, and talking loudly and
incoherently to imaginary persons, who, as he said, were trying to take away his bedclothes.
He complained of faintness, and of soreness and dryness of the throat, and pain across the
forehead. He had vomited once and had been several times to the water-closet. He said his
sight was all right, but evidently did not know what he was saying. Temperature 98.5°;
pulse 140, very weak. The skin was moist; the face flushed. The pupils were widely dilated
and quite insensible to light, [280]. ► All but two had delirium of a busy, restless, vivid
character, but generally rather pleasing than otherwise. The patients appeared to think that
they were pursuing their ordinary occupations; one boy appeared eager in flying a kite;
another pulled tables and chairs about, thinking he was working in a coal pit; while the
woman appeared remarkably busy with her ordinary household duties. All their movements were
of a quick excited character, strikingly resembling delirium tremens. In none of the cases
in which delirium was present were the symptoms alleviated until sleep was obtained; and
after sleep, the patients felt comparatively well, [261].
► General excitement. This was followed by giddiness of
intoxication, and a disposition to quarrel, laugh, and talk. The pulse became accelerated,
and the mind filled with hallucinations, which increased to a state of absolute madness.
This state lasted from one to twelve hours, and was then succeeded by one of insensibility,
somewhat similar to that of a person in the last state of intoxication. In the fatal cases,
this state lasted to the end, [238]. ► She began to snatch at objects on the floor and elsewhere,
which objects only existed in her own fancy. These visionary phenomena were, by her talk,
found to be chiefly articles of work and various insects, beetles, flies, etc. (after five
hours). As evening came on, she became nearly blind, restless to an inordinate degree,
excessively and loudly talkative, incoherent and unmeaning in her words, which almost
wholly, along with the movements of her hands, betokened a concern in her employment, or
some immediate interest in her brothers and sisters who were not present. The tongue became
somewhat dry, thick frothy mucus adhering to its sides. The skin was still more hot, and the
pulse as high as 120. The delirium from this time rapidly increased; at one time expressive
of great joy, at another great terror, [266]. ► What was particularly observable in this case was a great
deal of exhilaration or flow of spirits; a marked stimulation of the brain. The child did
everything in a hurry, and saw the bright side, rather than the dark one, of what was
observed. The Belladonna was taken about 4 P.M. The greatest amount of excitement or
stimulation showed itself between 7 and 8 P.M., and it was fully 11 P.M. before she could be
quieted so as to fall into a disturbed sleep, [275]. ► Appeared dazed, and was ignorant of what had occurred, like
one who had had an epileptic attack (second day), [276].
► Seems to see birds flying past and wishes to follow
them, [245]. [2560.]
► She moved her hands as though she wished to seize
something, [247]. ►
His speech is disconnected, [247]. ► Rage and convulsions, with grinding of the teeth, [248]. ► Laughs in the
most extraordinary manner, [247]. ► Laughing and talking alternately, [247]. ► Constant loquacious
delirium, he talks without cessation of the pains at the neck of the bladder, [247]. ► Taciturnity, [247]. ► Remarkable
loquacity, [247]. ►
Extreme anguish and agitation, [249]. ► A few minutes after eating the tart he became drowsy, his
lethargy soon increased, his countenance changed color, and the pupils of his eyes became
dilated; had a strange coppery taste in mouth; staggered on going upstairs, and fell down
insensible. He subsequently became delirious, and was very rough. His contortions were
dreadful. He attempted to strike his wife in his delirium, and when he recovered a little,
said he was sorry, and asked her to kiss him, [256]. [2570.] ► Comatose condition,
in which she died (one case), [261].
HEAD.
► Confusion of head, [280]. ► Vertigo, [242], [261]. ► Vertigo, with malaise, [243].
► On getting off the couch she was noticed to be giddy
and confused (after five hours), [266]. ► Instability of the body, without vertigo, [246]. ► Heaviness of the head, [242]. ► Pain in head, [261]. ► Violent
headache, particularly in the orbital region, accompanied by extreme redness of the eyes and
face; the redness gradually extended over the whole body, and after a few minutes the whole
skin was as red as in scarlet fever, [244].
EYE.
► Eyes sunken, [242]. [2580.] ► Eyes haggard and brilliant, [249].
► Lids widely separated, [265].
► Pain in eyeballs, which felt as if starting from their
sockets, [261]. ►
Pupil. ► Pupil dilated, [258], [260], [278]. ► Extreme dilatation of the
pupils, with sensitiveness, [268]. ► Pupils widely dilated while the delirium continued, [261]. ► Pupils greatly
dilated, not contracting in ordinary light, and very moderately contracting in full sunlight
(after two hours and a quarter), [266]. ► Pupils insensible, [247].
► One drop of the tincture was added to ninety-nine drops
of water, and the right eye was rubbed in the usual way, but no effect was perceived.
Afterwards one drop of tincture was added to nine drops of water, and this was applied in
the same manner, again no effect was noticed; then a drop was added to four drops of water,
and applied; this experiment succeeded, a perceptible contraction of the pupil was noticed.
Some months later the last-mentioned experiment was repeated at noon. Two drops of tincture
were added to eight of water. Small portions of this dilution were rubbed over the eye at
intervals during half an hour. At the end of this time the pupil was slightly contracted, it
was less than of the other eye. Afterwards the remainder was rubbed over the same eye, at
intervals during another half hour; a slight dilatation of this pupil was noticed, it was
larger than the other. This dilatation afterwards increased considerably, and had not
disappeared on the following morning, [271]. ► Vision. ► Weakness of
vision; it is difficult to distinguish letters, and he is obliged to hold the paper at a
greater distance than ordinarily, [248]. [2590.] ► Indistinctness of
vision, [261]. ►
Disturbance of vision; all objects seemed bordered with yellow, [245]. ► Disturbance of vision
wholly confined to the right pupil, which was widely dilated, not responding in the least to
alternate light and shade, while the left was in a perfectly normal condition, and responded
readily to light and shade. I continued the remedy for about one week, the right pupil
remaining fully dilated during the whole of this time, and for two or three days subsequent
to its discontinuance, while the left pupil failed to, at any period of the time, show the
characteristic effect of the drug, [262]. ► He had no power to distinguish objects for more than three
days, [247]. ►
Amaurosis, [247]. ►
Double vision and dilated pupil of the same side as that on which the plaster was. The next
day the right pupil was still one-third larger than the left, [283].® 2000
