Dr. B. Mure's materia medica : $b or, provings of the principal animal and vegetable poisons of the Brazilian Empire, and their application in the treatment of disease

_Sixth day._—Bone-pain and swelling of the left clavicle. Dream about
a horse which is bathed in a pond and gets drowned gradually. 175.
Piteous moaning during sleep. Even while awake one feels as if one were
falling out of bed. Acute pain at the sacro-lumbar articulation. Loss of
consciousness, one hears and sees nothing. Coldness in the back. 180.
Oppression of breathing, as though there were not air enough in the
house. Contraction of the toes. Desire for snow, without desiring either
water or wine. Itching at the epigastrium. Heat in the thighs. 185. She
exclaims several times: he is in the lions’ den, but they will not bite
him. At six o’clock in the evening, another fit of mania. Magnetic state,
during which she does not answer any questions but hears a strange voice
on her left side and behind her; she follows it, and tilts against the
doors which had been closed and which she scratches with her nails. Three
very nearly similar attacks succeed each other, they are occasionally
interrupted by silly laughter and always end with a flood of tears. She
exclaims again: he is in the den, but the lions will not eat him.
_Seventh day._—Fainting from hunger, before eating. 190. Contusive pain
at the occiput. Somnolence the whole morning. Another attack of mental
alienation, she hears voices which she follows, and sheds a flood of
tears. Her head feels heavy, with stupor. The humeral extremity of the
left clavicle continues to swell. 195. Intermittent metrorrhagia twice a
day, and alternating with the paroxysms of mania. Involuntary emission
of urine during sleep. Pain across the umbilical region, with alternate
sensation of spreading out and pinching together. Swelling of the three
last toes of the left foot. Excoriation and pustules on the toes of the
left foot. 200. Suffocative oppression. Pain in the bones, especially
in the joints, at the shoulder-blades, elbows, at the phalanxes of the
fingers, at the knees, hip and under the toe-nails. Pressure at the right
hip as with the blade of a knife. The metrorrhagia ceases. She cannot
bear seeing any one on her right side, without experiencing palpitation
of the heart and a real fatigue from pleasure.
