_Sixth day._—Dim eye as if looking through a white gauze; when looking
at the sky, the air looks gray. Her left eye is full of water; the pain
is worse when moving, it follows the eyebrow, for six hours. 70. Crampy
pain at the right ring-finger, extending to the elbow, contracting the
flexor communis digitorum, with redness at the lower part of the nail;
for twenty minutes, it passes off in the open air. Toothache on the right
side, at one o’clock. Water in the eye, worse in the open air, ending
with itching, for ten minutes. Heat in the corner of the left nostril,
and stitch at the tip of the nose, for fifteen minutes. Pain at the
forehead, with beating in the left side, for ten minutes. 75. Merry, she
laughs about every thing. Desire to vomit after dinner, when inclining
her head forward. Difficult digestion, weight on the stomach. Salt,
thick and difficult sputa. Pains for five minutes, from the shoulder
to the middle of the back, with lancinations hindering breathing. 80.
Pain passing quickly through the right side of the head, from the top of
the left parietal bone to the eyebrow. Desire for tea. Lancinations in
the ears. Pain at the cardia as if cut with a penknife, short-lasting.
Thirst, dry mouth. 85. No sleep at night, the whole body feels tired as
in the third night.
_Seventh day._—Pain in the left lung, striking through the back, and
worse when carrying any thing heavy; for twelve hours. Stitch in the left
side; when drawing breath, the pain is felt like a cut with a knife, and,
after a short interval, coalesces with the former pain; three times.
Urine clear, white and not very thick. Sense as of a string at the right
breast, painless. 90. Pain in the teeth of the left lower jaw, striking
to the ear, and rendering her deaf for three minutes. She feels as if a
string were pulled from the shoulder to the ear. Toothache, the teeth
are soft and on edge, all day; every day since she took the drug, not
at night. Violent drawing pain from the shoulder to the ear, hindering
the motion of the head for three minutes. Shuddering, with paleness, and
margins around the eyes. 95. The fever abates by covering herself and
exciting a profuse perspiration; it is succeeded by malaise.
