_Eighteenth day._—135. Frequent waking at night. He wakes earlier than
usual. Doughy mouth, in the morning. Foul, bloody sputa, of the color of
chocolate with milk. The pain at the sacrum is feebler, it seems to have
spread over a larger space, rises a little towards the dorsal and lumbar
muscles, and to the dorsal vertebræ. 140. The head, above the eyebrows,
is still somewhat dull. Weakness in the finger-joints and wrists. The
gland at the neck continues painful, with lancinations. Taste of blood in
the throat. Flushes of heat. 145. The breathing is painful, as if there
were a sore in the lumbar region.
_Nineteenth day._—Deep and long sleep. Nosebleed, in the morning. Pimple
at the forehead. Weight above the eyes, he is unable to read long. 150.
Sense of weariness in the arms, though lying down. The pain at the sacrum
decreases; sometimes, however, it rises again to the cervical vertebræ.
Prickling in the eyes. A cluster of pimples breaks out at the wrist, on
the external and inferior surface of the radius; they are vesicular,
(like those which he had after his return from Brazil.) Bloating
sensation in the eyes. 155. Throbbing at the sacrum, without pain. Pale
face, eyes sunken, with redness around the eyelids.
_Twentieth day._—No stool from the sixteenth to the twentieth day. Hard
and difficult stool. The pain at the sacrum is much less, though he
still feels a violent throbbing in this region, but painless. 160. Rose
at eight o’clock, his legs were weak and his head felt heavy; he laid
down again an hour after, with very cold feet. He feels a pain at the
iliac bones, though not all the time. There are fever pimples on the arm,
and the remaining pimples contain a little water which spirts out when
pressed. Sensation in the glutei muscles as if bruised. Full and slow
painless beatings in the sacro-lumbar region.
_Twenty-first day._—165. Restless night, dreams about crime, dead bodies,
children with their heads half cut off, and of others whose heads were
being cut. Pain in the glutei muscles as if bruised, now on the right,
then on the left side. Pain as if bruised at the sacrum, with heat
mounting to the face, at nine o’clock in the morning, shortly after
rising. Cramp in the toes. Beatings in the left temple. 170. Painful
stitch and beating sensation between the shoulder-blades.
_Twenty-second day._—Lascivious dream with emission. Heat mounting to the
face, with oppression of the chest. Acute pain in one of the right toes.
Weight at the sacrum, but less bruising in the glutei muscles; weakness
in the knee joints, with cracking, either in going up or down-stairs,
175. Sensation as if a warm liquid were flowing from a sore in the lumbar
region. Heat mounting to the face, at seven o’clock in the evening.
Weakness of the legs in going up or down-stairs.
