Rolling its eyes up occasionally

The urine had been highly albuminous, and contained “hyalin and
granular cylinders.” At the necropsy, the body was extremely
œdematous, and the epidermis in places was raised in little blebs;
dissection showed dropsy of the cavities and œdema of the lungs, but no
lesion of any organ to account for the dropsy, the kidneys being
perfectly normal in all respects. “The most scrupulous histological
investigation failed to find a trace of interstitial growth,
proliferation of nuclei, amyloid degeneration, or more than traces of
fatty degeneration of the epithelium.” On inquiry, it turned out
that this man had dated the commencement of his illness from an
extensive inunction of his body with Petroleum, which about four months
before his death, he had employed as a means of relieving himself from
scabies. He used the Petroleum for four days, and a week elapsed before
he noticed swelling of the feet, which, rapidly increasing, spread over
the abdomen and thorax; in the course of a fortnight it disappeared, but
returned after eight days, and persisted up till his death. While in
hospital, the radial pulse was noted to be small, empty, and of low
tension; the blood-corpuscles were few, but their relative proportions
were normal. Temperature was normal. Histological examination of the
skin showed localized areas of inflammation; along the veins and
lymphatics a small-celled growth existed, and in all the layers of the
cutis there was a widely distributed nuclear proliferation, [24]. ►
