27th. Convalescent; but the convalescence was slow and tedious, as it almost always is after so severe an attack of cerebral disease; she was dismissed cured on the 40th day from the commencement of the attack. The reports of the 15th, 16th, and 17th days illustrate very clearly and strikingly the changes which have already been stated to indicate recovery. CASE IV. ELIZABETH PRICE, æt. 26, servant; admitted on 11th day of disease. Attacked with ordinary symptoms of fever: at present complains of very severe head-ache; face flushed; intolerance of light; some deafness; mind confused during night; visions of various kinds, such as “waves of the sea rolling,” appear occasionally before her with great vividness; had been on sea four days before she became ill; skin warm; sense of general soreness; abdomen rather hard, but not tender; tongue furred, rather red; much thirst; no appetite; scarcely any sleep, and, when she does, dreams of a frightful nature interrupt her rest; pulse 114, _intermittent_, of good power, but easily compressed; bowels constipated.
