_Second day._—10. Heavy sleep, and late waking. Evanescent ideas.
Sensation of paralysis immediately after rising, his hand trembles a good
deal; he is unable to open the door of his room. Absence of thought.
Disposed to be silent. Deep tranquillity of mind, in the morning. 15.
Sadness. Drowsy after breakfast. Embarrassed breathing when falling
asleep again. Redness of the skin. Sweat in the palm of the hands whereas
the rest of the body is perfectly dry. 20. Pain at the lower part of
the head, and weight as if he had knocked it against any thing. Small
pimples. Beating pain at the left side of the neck. Pain all around the
neck like beats with a hammer. Pain at the right side of the head while
hearing the strokes on an anvil, he felt as though he were struck with a
hammer. 25. Pain at the nape of the neck and forehead when stooping; it
is a dull, confused pain which he cannot describe. In the day-time the
hands become red. Sense of weight over the eyes. His nose is looser than
usual. Pain all round the head as from a blow after having remained in
the sun for a time. 30. Redness and heat of the ears. Alternate hunger
and loss of appetite. Weak stomach. Loathing. Profuse urine, but always a
little white. 35. Acute pain with weight in the pit of the stomach, for a
minute. Eructation during an expiration, like a volume of hot air, which
ascends to the mouth with a feeling of oppression. Metallic taste in the
mouth. White expectoration. Beating pain in the abdomen after breakfast.
40. Disagreeable sensation while hearing the noise of a saw. When hearing
blows with a hammer the counter-shock is felt in the whole body. He
alternately lays himself down and raises himself again. Swelling of the
veins of the hands. Constant pain all day, in the wrist and metacarpus,
as if strings were tied round very tightly. 45. Three slight beats on the
arm, as if touched with the finger. Easy stool. The face is yellow and
the body red. Copious emission of wind. Weak all over in the day-time.
50. Two attacks of colic and diarrhœa, with pulling and pinching in the
bowels, at midnight.
_Third day._—Sad, then merry dreams. Every thing is unpleasant to him.
The headache continues and renders him impatient. Feeling of tenderness
and deep pity. 55. Profuse and whitish urine. The chest dilates a good
deal, when drawing breath, even with the mouth closed. The chest feels
bruised, with embarrassed respiration. The constrictive pain at the wrist
shifts to the middle of the arm for an hour, after which it returns again
to the wrist.
