Six. Has slept softly for an hour; the first sleep she has had for many days. ℞. Subm. hydrarg. gr. v; Pulv. opii, gr. ss. M. sumat stat. et rep. 3tia quaque hora. Nine. Complains much of vomiting and sense of weakness; countenance rather collapsed; breathing rather difficult. Let ℥lxxx. be injected into the veins again gradually. After the first few ounces were thrown in she complained of an acute pain at the epigastrium, and faintness, probably arising from the fluid being thrown in too fast upon the heart, or from the passing of a bubble or two of air, which may have got in from the inaccuracy of the injecting apparatus used. Be that as it may, the circulating system was so much affected, that the pulse, from being distinct though feeble, became quite imperceptible, but on stopping the injection for a few minutes the pulse gradually returned, and the pain abated. She expresses herself as always getting relief from the operation. Eleven. Vomiting continues urgent. App. emp. cantharid. epigast. Effervescing draughts occasionally. May 17th. Has passed about ℔j. of urine, of natural appearance; this is the first she has made since she was brought in. From this time she went on gradually to improve, but stomach continued very irritable, and the matter vomited was bilious. 21st. Labour pains came on, and she was delivered of a still-born female child. 22d. Symptoms of phlebitis in right arm came on, proceeding from the wound upwards, but this yielded to the ordinary treatment, and she may now be considered out of all danger, though she is not yet reported cured.
