one hour), [6]. ► In the evening, and especially the next
day, tenesmus of the bladder, with slightly smarting pain in the line of

accompanied at first by a pain under the xiphoid cartilage, aggravated

during the night, nor when there was any expectoration with the cough;
it was more painful both before and after a meal (second day), [2]. ►
Chest full and hot, [1]. ► Stitches in the left side, [14].

Very marked irregularity and depression of the heart’s action with a
small thready pulse, at times imperceptible, at times frequent, of short
duration, small volume, and diminished power; the heart’s action was
very feeble and undulating, its sounds indistinct, yet the ventricular
systole not interrupted enough to cause a dicrotous pulse (after six
hours); pulse regular as to rhythm, though not to frequency, beats
varying between 80 and 96 (after fourteen hours and a half), [35]. ►
The pulse remained very irregular in frequency (accompanied by
sensations of “heart-stopping”) for three days, varying
between 55 and 92; its rise was quick and volume diminished, [35].

Drawing in the left cervical muscles, [14].
► Pain which is neither continuous
nor severe, in the upper part of the back (soon); pain increased (second
day), [5]. ►

[140.] ►
A numbness, with a kind of immobility, in the extremities, especially
after several sweats, [9]. ► Pretty sharp, transient, wandering pains
in the extremities, [9].

SUPERIOR EXTREMITIES.

► Pain during exercise as well as rest, but
more severe during exercise, seeming to occupy the olecranon process,
and sometimes to leave this part for other portions of the same bone,
always in the direction of its humeral extremity; this pain, although
not very deepseated, evidently affects the bone, and seems to occupy the
periosteum (first day), [4]. ► Pain felt both on movement and during
rest, but worse on movement, appearing to occupy the olecranon process,
and sometimes to leave this part of the elbow for other portions of the
same bone, always tending, towards its humeral extremity; this pain,
although not very deepseated, evidently affects the bone, and seems to
occupy the periosteum, [8]. ► Unpleasant dryness of the palms, which
are also very warm (fourteenth, fifteenth, and sixteenth days), [3]. ►
Immediately, or in a few minutes, pain in the joint of the first and
second phalanges of the left middle finger (second day), [4]. ► Dull
pains in the phalangeal joints of the right hand (second day), [3]. ►
Rheumatic pain in the right forefinger, in the phalangeal articulations
(third day); this pain lasted until the eighth day, not continuously,
but returning often, and especially when the affected part was brought
into the slightest contact with even warm
liquid, [3].

INFERIOR EXTREMITIES.

► Hip. ►
Pain in the left hip, with internal feeling of heat, and, externally, of
tearing and great coldness (fourteenth and fifteenth days), [3]. ►
Moderate and superficial pain in the right hip and in the knee of the
same side, felt more deeply, but not more severely, in the thigh, as a
tearing, with coldness; it ceased in the night (after seven hours), [3]. ►
Knee.
[150.] ► Pain of the same nature as at the base of
the kidneys, but more violent, in both knees, especially in the left,
ceasing at night, and passing then into the ankle-joint, [4]. ► Pain
about the right knee-pan (after one hour); pain in the left knee like
that in the right, where it had ceased (after two hours and a half);
these symptoms reappeared with an intensity which even disabled me from
walking, the pain in the knee returning by starts, and impressing on the
joint a feeling of extreme weakness, and sometimes of being suddenly
bruised, with a cutting pain, which rendered locomotion quite impossible
(thirteenth day), [3]. ► Crawling sensation in the right leg,
extending to the sole of the foot, where it felt as though one were
walking on a net, [14]. ► Sharp pinching, with circumscribed
itching, in the middle of the left calf (after nine hours), [3]. ►
Sudden shooting, almost as quick as lightning, close to and almost upon
the phalangeal joint of the first metatarsus of the right side (first
day), [4]. ►
Crawling sensation in the whole left foot, [14].

GENERALITIES.

►
All the hairy parts became denuded (after a month), [31]. ►
Secretions increased, [15]. ► Twice a slight tremor came over her frame
(after six hours), [35]. ► Trembling, as at the approach of a fever,
with dry mouth, without thirst, and general uneasiness, all of which
lasts a quarter of an hour (after twenty-four hours), [5]. [160.] ► Convulsions, [18], [19],
[26], [29]. ►
Convulsions and death, [7]. ► Great uneasiness, [23]. ►
Restless at times, turning from side to side, in bed (after six hours), [35]. ►
Restlessness, [15]. ► Unsteadiness when at rest or sitting, and
especially when standing quietly (thirteenth day), [3]. ► General
feeling of uneasiness (thirteenth day), [3].
► Uneasy (after two hours), [2]. ►
Extreme exhaustion, [1]. ► Great prostration, [27]. [170.] ► Prostration and distension of the
abdomen, [32]. ► Sudden prostration of strength, [128]. ►
Prostration, with great oppression, after an embrace, the whole without
pain or anxiety; this symptom, the last produced, after having resisted
several attempts to remove it, yielded completely to the exhibition of
Staphisagria, taken with this object (sixteenth day), [3]. ►
Faintness, [33]. ► A kind of faintness, soon; a small
quantity of brandy and other restoratives seemed to recover her, and she
was then put to bed, a dose of castor oil being administered; she,
however, relapsed into her former alarming state and death ensued, [28]. ►
Fainted, became insensible, and was found on the floor in a state of
collapse (after two hours), [35]. ► Symptoms of syncope (after six hours), [35].

SKIN.

►
Two attacks of black jaundice very difficult to remove, [21]. ► The
hue of the skin remains of a dirty leaden gray, [21]. ►
Redness of the skin, [15]. [180.] ►
Eruption of large and slightly prominent pimples, rather like plates, of
a vivid red color, occupying the posterior and upper portions of both
arms, with very acute itching (after one hour); eruption increased
(second day), [5]. ► Body covered with pustules (after a
month), [21]. ► When she awoke, next morning, her body
was covered with a copious miliary eruption, on the third day the rash
disappeared, and there was an abscess formed at the right knee, which
broke on the eleventh day, and was followed by death on the fourteenth, [22]. ►
The day following the first dose, and a few hours after the second,
uneasiness towards the nose, on whose tip there appeared a large, round,
and brownish-red spot, without pain or itching, only sensitive to
pressure towards its centre, slightly prominent by reason of a small
pimple which projected at this point, where next day, without pain or
irritation, desquamation began, which by slow degrees, extended over all
the violet-covered surface, and was completed in five or six days;
finally, towards the evening of this same day, that is, about twelve
hours after the second dose taken in infusion, a burning itching was
felt in the inferior dorsal region of the right forearm, over a surface
about an inch in diameter, and corresponding precisely to the outer part
of the radio-carpal joint. This surface was rather redder and rougher
than in the normal state, and the itching, of which it was the seat,
alternated with a similar irritation, but much less severe, in the same
portion of the left forearm. The next morning, in the same region,
appeared on the right side a crowded mass of hard, round, and red
pimples, whose branlike desquamation proceeded during next day and the
day after, accompanied by very acute itching, while around this surface,
where the skin had resumed its normal appearance and vitality, other
similar pimples, but less numerous, arose and disappeared in like
manner, with very acute itching, in the morning especially, and not at
night, and were succeeded, in their turn, by another circle of similar
pimples, reaching thus the dorsal region principally and the upper part
of the right forearm. On the left side, three pimples of the same nature
as the preceding, but whose desquamation was not followed by the
production of other pimples, sufficed to keep up in this part for more
than fifteen days, the itching of which it was the seat. To-day, even
after lasting a month, the eruption on the right side still remains as
troublesome as ever, [6]. ► A large suggilation in the sole of the
left foot, with pain on walking, followed by dark petechiæ over nearly
the whole body; the face became puffy and pale, the chest full and hot,
with great weakness, and after a few days, fever, with great swelling of
the face and lips, which became blackish-brown, especially the upper
lip, with extreme exhaustion, followed by death, [1].
