_Thirty-third day._—340. Pulling at the stomach, at two in the morning.
Mouth dry. Large, dry, hard, difficult stool. Stool breaking off after
one half is expelled. Pain and smarting at the rectum, caused by the
violent efforts required to expel the stool. 345. Not disposed to
work, at eight in the evening. Irresistible drowsiness. Turbid urine,
of a dingy-yellow, and covered with an oily pellicle. Dreams about
persecutions. Stitches during sleep as though needles were stuck in the
spinal marrow; this wakes her. 350. Starting during sleep. Dry mouth with
tearing sensation in the chest, at two in the morning. She rises in the
night, imagining that thieves are hidden behind the curtains, but she
dares not look behind and begs somebody else to do it.
_Thirty-fourth day._—Restless sleep. Anxiety on waking. 355. Cracked
tongue, in the morning. Violent palpitations and pulsations with
sensation as though the heart were turning about very briskly. The
flatulence presses on the uterus. Hard, dry, large stool, expelled with
difficulty, and causing the tears to rush to her eyes. Regurgitations and
eructations at three. 360. Noisy flatulence, at nine in the evening.
_Thirty-fifth day._—Light sleep. Hoarseness on waking. White-coated
tongue. Desire for liquor and oranges.
_Thirty-sixth day._—365. Dry cough day and night.
_Thirty-seventh day._—Dry cough on waking. Burning in the hand and all
over. Hard and tense pulse. Tongue white in the middle and red at the
tip. 370. Pain at the vertex. Sensation as of water splashing in the
head. The posterior cervical muscles are stiff. Scarlet-redness of the
cheeks. Headache aggravated by work. 375. In bed the sweat smells like
potatoes. Tongue very red. Burning hands, with somewhat uneasy pulse.
_Thirty-eighth day._—The breasts have been painful during the whole time
of the proving, the pain is worse when moving the arms, it then seems
to become seated at the external border of the pectoralis major. Feels
chilly all over, cannot get warm, at half past five in the evening. 380.
Scarlet-redness of the cheeks. After dinner, her clothes feel too tight.
Dry cough for six minutes, at half past ten in the evening. Her thoughts
dwell upon her future, which she imagines will be wretched.
_Fortieth day._—Dry cough, in the evening. 385. Dull colic in the lower
abdomen.
_Forty-first day._—Premature menses. Discharge of black coagulated blood.
For five days the menstrual blood has a very fetid smell, similar to
the smell of spoiled fish. Turbid urine of a dingy yellow, depositing a
copious whitish sediment.
_Forty-second day._—390. Burning thirst, as though her mouth were salt.
Twitching of the right lower limb. Sensitiveness of the hairy scalp and
of the roots of the hairs. Tearing at the vertex; she cannot bear the
least covering on her head.
