_First day._—1. Copper taste in the mouth, and a sensation of heat in
the throat when taking the drug. Light or comatose sleep, with dreams
about men who are dressed in black, about pistol-shots, imprisonment.
Uneasiness. At five o’clock in the morning, the head feels heavy and
dull, especially the front part. 5. Constant heat in head. At half past
nine the left side of the tongue feels hurt. Languid feeling, he wants to
lie down. Unable to work. Sensation of goose-flesh as if some one were
cutting cork close to him. 10. Repeated yawning. He feels cold though he
is wrapt up well. Slumbers from half past two to three o’clock. Slight
diarrhœa. 15. The heat in the face increases (at four o’clock). Dark-red
spots, with inflammation of the right side of the face. Head dull and
heavy. Heat about the legs. At six o’clock, slight pain around the navel,
which, however, does not last long. 20. Pricking at the right nasal wing.
At noon, the head feels compressed as by a band tied together at the
nape of the neck. Bruising sensation in the left toes. Frequent pain,
now in the left buttock, and then in the thigh. The left leg feels weak.
25. Small callosity above the internal ankle of the left foot. General
feeling of weariness and of being bruised.
_Second day._—Restless sleep as the first night. Wakes several times at
night, always preoccupied with the idea of quarrelling with somebody
who frightened him. The dulness continues. 30. Weight at the forehead.
Tight feeling at the inner side of the right leg, with red spots.
Appearance like incipient erysipelas. Shuddering with twitching. Yawning.
35. Intermitting pain in the right groin after walking. Taste of doughy
bread in the mouth. The sight is very sensitive to light, he cannot open
his eyes in a spot which is illumined by the sun. At eight o’clock in
the evening, pain in the right groin as if pricked with a pin, in the
direction of the joint, for a quarter of an hour. The same pain is felt
in the navel in a recumbent posture.
_Third day._—40. Numbness of the arm on which he had been lying at night.
Hardness of the left leg, with lancinations. Mottled appearance of the
face. Red and humid spots on the left leg. Quiet and short sleep, he
wakes four times at night. 45. Dulness of the head; same weight at the
forehead. Heat in the right leg, where the red spot is; this is sensitive
to contact. Taste as of doughy bread in the mouth. Depression of spirits
in the day-time. Erection in the evening, with desire to lie down.
_Fourth day._—50. Numbness of the hands and legs. Uneasiness in the left
leg.
