_Fifth day._—Dreams about dead persons; she kisses dead persons, falls
into pits where her feet get entangled; she walks sideways. 265.
Quarrelsome, irritable mood, with agitation of the mind. Good appetite.
The heel begins to peel off the same as the fingers. While dreaming she
bites her forearm. Vertigo so as to fall forwards. 270. Sensation as
if falling forward, though the prover remains immoveable. When raising
the hand to the right side of the nape of the neck, a penetrating pain
is felt which spreads to the ear. Stitch in the side, a whole day. The
breathing through the nose is interrupted. One hears some one talking.
275. Violent itching of the hairy scalp.
_Sixth day._—Strange illusion of hearing; she heard whistling and
ringing, and rises to see where it is. Frightful dreams; she buries a
dead person and, with a knife, digs about in his wounds. Afterwards the
experiences a burning remorse and sheds a flood of tears. She dreams
that she has a fight with a man condemned to the galleys. 280. Desire to
strike and pick a quarrel. Mental excitements. Itching of the soles of
the feet, which continue to peel off. Small pimple with a good deal of
itching. Slight discharge of a clear mucus from the urethra. 285. At the
least contrariety the body shudders and the blood boils, with pricklings.
Lassitude in all the limbs.
_Seventh day._—Desire to go to the country and play about in the
grass. Desire to be alone; for days she remains in the corner of the
anti-chamber. Sound sleep. Plans about travelling, &c. 290. She hears
distant whistling. Bread tastes flat, like the triturated poison which
had been swallowed for the purpose of proving it. She wants to leave the
house at the moment when she is going to bed. She retires to a distant
room to work. Irresistible desire to cry out with all her might. 295.
Loathing of meat, bananas, and particularly bread. Desire for oranges,
acids, and especially for sour beef. Profuse cold sweat all over the body.
_Eighth day._—During a whole month, bread does not mix up with other
food, it returns by the nose the whole day, whereas the other kinds of
food are either digested naturally or thrown up again by the mouth.
Metrorrhagia. 300. Violent aversion to light; one prefers to be in the
dark. Violent diarrhœa, continued. Breaking out of little pimples with an
oval base, they dry up and are followed by desquamation of the epidermis.
