and acid and acrid liquid flowed from the choanæ over the curtain of
the palate, uvula, and posterior wall of the pharynx, and provoked
cough; this tickling cough frequently recurred during the fourteenth and
fifteenth days, and also once at night. ►
The tickling cough reappeared (eighteenth day), and was followed by
expectoration of bright-red blood in six or seven paroxysms; I was
unable to tell from the sensation whence the blood came; the lungs were
free on deep inspiration, and the pulse not feverish; on account of this

with short paroxysms of cough and rattling in the air-passages; this
cough and expectoration of blood were repeated regularly every two hours
during the next twenty-four hours; the whole amount of blood was half a
pound; it was always bright red, never mixed with mucus, and always
expectorated easily and without exertion; next day the posterior wall of
the pharynx was dark-red, glistening, swollen, injected with small
bright-red vessels, and in the middle, somewhat to the left, a small
fissure from which much blood issued (on account of this I took
Hyoscyamus, which with a generous use of milk completely restored me);
during this time, however, there was frequently felt on swallowing a
sensation as though a morsel of dry food were sticking in the throat;
also I frequently became suddenly hoarse, and then felt a scraping on
the posterior wall of the curtain of the palate and in the choanæ;
frequently tenacious mucus was drawn from these parts; it was difficult
to loosen, and when loosened had a metallic taste; also I experienced
boring, drawing pains in the bones of the upper and lower extremities
(as often and these appeared the troubles in the throat were relieved,
and vice versâ), [34]. ►

the latter of which seem to be broken; the next day these pains extend
over the whole cervical region, and he is unable to turn the head or
move the arm upward without greatly increasing the pains; respiration
was very much impeded; these symptoms decreased very much from day to

pain as from a deep knife-cut in the centre of the chest, so severe that

gradually diminishes, but returns with increased violence on every
attempt to go on with his work. It begins on both sides under the
clavicle, and extends over the whole chest down to the region of the
lower ribs, but is most severe in the centre of the chest; the pain is
somewhat like the burning felt when walking against a cold wind, but is
not only burning but sharply cutting. Deep breathing increases the pain
slightly, although the pain forces him to respire deeply. Warmth
relieves the pain, without removing it. These pains in the chest keep on
