_Third day._—Restless night, frequent waking. On waking, sense of
weariness, as if strained. Acute pain in the palm of the left hand,
proceeding from the index, and describing a circle extending to the
carpal articulation of the thumb. 345. Very weary, especially the left
leg. At half past 12, third night, writhing colic. Violent diarrhœa
at one o’clock, with pains similar to those which she had experienced
on her return from a voyage to Brazil. Fetid stool, with white little
worms. 350. The diarrhœa continues and is succeeded by a great weakness
of the chest. Violet-colored cheeks. Heat in the cheeks and temples. Red
forehead. Small miliary vesicles on the right cheek, on the middle of the
forehead and on the left cheek. 355. Listless, she attends to things as
if she took no sort of interest in them.
_Fifth day._—Dreams about a church-yard; she placed torches on the
graves. On waking, her face is bloated and scarlet-red. Blotches on the
right cheek, similar to those which she had after her return from a
voyage to Brazil (at this time an enormous crusty tetter commenced in
this way). Intolerable heat at the chest, at two o’clock, violent pain
and burning sensation at the sternum.
_Sixth day._—360. Restless sleep. Nervousness, impatience, at half past
12. Dry heat in the hands.
_Seventh day._—Small vesicular pimple at the right wrist-joint. Marked
feeling of heaviness from the parietal bone to the lower attachment of
the sterno-mastoideus muscle, at the upper side of the sternum. 365. At
two o’clock: the weight, at times, descends to the forehead, with heat.
Small pimple on the right wrist, red at its base, containing a fluid.
_Eighth day._—No sleep. Twisting pain in the left side, or lancinations
around the pelvis; the pain passes off soon and extorts cries from her,
at 9 o’clock in the morning. Burning all over.
_Ninth day._—370. Twisting pain at the scapulo-humeral articulation.
Acute pain under the breast. Half past twelve: the pain at the
scapulo-humeral articulation recurs from time to time with great
violence. Five o’clock in the evening: the pain is constant but less,
always of the same kind. Half past nine: miliary eruption in the face.
375. Small red pimples on the right cheek, smarting on the right cheek,
the eruption first showed itself at 7 o’clock in the morning. Miliary
eruption on the shoulders, with itching, in the evening. Red vesicular
pimples, they break when pressed upon, and discharge a smart stream of
water.
_Tenth day._—Dulness of the head, in the morning, on rising. Red face,
the little pimples are less apparent. 380. Pain at the stomach, as from
hunger, though she is not hungry. She swallows her saliva. She has to eat
to quiet her pain.
_Eleventh day._—Headache, slight beating at the forehead, during a
considerable portion of the night. The headache continues with a
heaviness in the forehead, in the morning.
