While medicating the pellets, I was
seized with oppression of the chest, to such an extent as almost to
arrest breathing. The asthma was caused by a sensation as if the sternum
were being gradually drawn towards the dorsal vertebræ. Expansion of
the chest was difficult, because of the feeling of tightening. With this
there was some confusion of mind, as if unconsciousness might follow if
the dyspnœa continued. The attack lasted about ten minutes, and was
followed by a general weariness, which passed off in a few hours.® 2000
