Friday, May 22, 1896.--Noticed a little sore inside of mouth (left side), which by Saturday, Sunday, Monday and Tuesday had become very annoying. When eating anything that came in contact with it, or even when moving the mouth in a certain direction would cause a sticking, pricking pain. I also want to mention a few eruptions, small pustules on face and neck, which appeared during this proving. SECOND PROVING OF "CORNUS ALTERNIFOLIA." BY F. H. LUTZE, M. D. February 1, 1896.--Took 5 drops of [Greek: theta] three times daily. February 6, 1896.--Took 5 drops of [Greek: theta] every two hours. On second day had two loose evacuations in quick succession in the afternoon. February 9, 1896.--A cold feeling in chest as if it were filled with cold air or ice; this continued for two days and was very disagreeable, but seemed to have no influence on action of heart or respiration. A second proving, commenced on April 1st, reproduced the same symptoms in same manner. Have made no proving of 30th yet. THIRD PROVING OF "CORNUS ALTERNIFOLIA" 30TH DILUTION. Commenced at bedtime Sunday, June 7, 1896. Monday, June 8, 1896.--Awoke after being awake the greater part of the night feeling as usual. Felt dull pain in right side region of liver about 11 A.M. Tuesday, June 9, 1896.--Slept very little; tossed and turned mostly all night; could not get into any comfortable position. Tongue this morning coated a yellowish white. No stool to-day and appetite fair. Wednesday, June 10, 1896.--While I rested somewhat better than nights previous, yet was awake considerable part of the night. Had two dreams; one of dead rats mashed to a pulp; the other of coition, causing an emission. When I awoke this morning, felt a raw feeling in throat, which continued throughout the day; though not quite as bad as when I arose. Sneezed some, too, to-day; head partially stopped up toward night. About an hour or two after dinner, which I ate with a relish, a sick sensation came over me, a dull heavy feeling in forehead accompanied with a nauseous and dizzy feeling; could hardly pull one foot after the other on my way home from work; but after being a little while in the open air and walking, feeling subsided some, and when I reached home felt much better; and after supper had entirely left me; though when I retired that night I felt as though I had been doing a very hard day's work and was glad when my body touched the bed. Stool very scanty to-day; appears difficult to do anything; seems to be quite some gas. Thursday, June 11, 1896.--Awoke very tired; sleep disturbed considerably; could not rest in any position. Raw feeling in throat still this morning, with a frequent desire to clear; a feeling as though something lodged there and should come out. Stool to-day, but scant. A dull ache in region of heart felt in afternoon. Feel tired and drowsy. All ambition seems to have left me. Appetite very good to-day.
