The right hand and arm much the same; itching of the scrotum, but no redness. On the eighth day, there was still a little fulness of the left arm, with a faint blush of the skin. Depressed and irritable, disinclined to move, and impatient of the play of his children, which usually afforded him pleasure. He also complained of confusion of the head and memory. If he laid a thing down he forgot where he had placed it and such like. Looked ill and worn and languid, due, doubtless, to some extent, to want of sleep. Every object appeared a long way off, on waking after half an hour's sleep (third day). Loss of appetite and some thirst. The pulse was weak and somewhat accelerated,".

September 1st, 1866. I took a solution of 1 ccm., diluted with distilled water to 10 ccm., so that every ccm. contained 1 mlgm. of Tartar emetic. Pulse 73. I took 1 ccm. at 8 A.M., two hours after breakfast. After an hour, not feeling the slightest change in my condition nor in the rate of my pulse, I went about my business. 3.15 P.M., I took 2 ccm.; pulse 71. After about three-quarters of an hour I felt rather uncomfortable for a short time, pulse rose to 72 or 73, and after the disappearance of the discomfort, returned to 71. My appetite at evening was unchanged.

September 2d. 8 A.M., pulse 73, took 3 ccm. After forty-five minutes some discomfort, which disappeared after twelve minutes. Appetite normal. Pulse 71, after twenty minutes.

September 3d. Took at the usual hour 4 ccm. Pulse 72. After forty minutes slight headache, nausea, and very acute sticking pain in the epigastric region, which disappeared after a quarter of an hour. Pulse 74; half an hour afterwards 70; after half an hour's quiet work 68. Appetite at noon diminished. 3 P.M., injected a strong solution into the left thigh,cem. Pulse 73. After five minutes there was vivid redness, associated with burning pain at the point of injection, which I relieved by cold applications. Pulse 75. Ten minutes afterwards I experienced violent heat, headache, nausea, weakness, which gradually increased, till after ten minutes more sweat broke out. Pulse 79. I was very much exhausted, felt great need of rest. Pulse after fifteen minutes 72. After another quarter of an hour 67. After walking about the room the pulse rose to 73, but soon fell to 68. In the evening I took very little food, and then felt constant burning in the throat, even swallowing caused trouble. Increased thirst, sleep broken.

September 4th. On waking I felt slight headache in the skull, and had little appetite for breakfast. I took a concentrated solution, less than cem., about 8 mlgm. Pulse 71. After thirty-eight minutes there were the first symptoms of discomfort, which soon disappeared, but ten minutes later returned with increased violence. Very disagreeable sensation in the pit

of the stomach, which was distended. It was very sensitive to touch, not unlike a sticking. Constant recurrence of yawning, eructations, and rumbling in the abdomen, which alternated with each other. I felt a burning heat in the head, with alternations of chill and heat. There was a feeling of coldness in the hands and feet. Pulse 74. After fifteen minutes this condition entirely disappeared and gave place to weakness, weariness, and prostration of the limbs, so that I could scarcely rise from my chair. Pulse 70. Nausea continued the whole day, associated with a very disagreeable taste in the mouth and copious secretion of saliva. I ate scarcely anything all day. The peristent weakness caused me to go to bed earlier than usual.

September 5th. Rose with chill, headache, and weakness of the limbs, otherwise well; took at 8 o'clock 1 ccm. of a solution, about 1 cent. grm. of Tartar emetic. Pulse 70. After half an hour there came on nausea, yawning, eructations, rumbling, pain, and pressure in the epigastric region, accelerated respiration (20), headache, burning in the throat, difficult swallowing, accumulation of saliva in the mouth, chilliness, weakness, and retching. Pulse 75. These symptoms gradually diminished, and disappeared entirely within half an hour. Only dulness of the head and weakness remained. Pulse 69. I had a most violent aversion to all kinds of food, and had scarcely eaten the soup at noon, the swallowing of which was very painful, when most violent retching came on, but without vomiting. A disagreeable taste in the mouth obliged me to drink much cold water all day, which afforded some relief to this symptom and to the difficulty in swallowing. Weariness drove me early to bed, and I slept well all night. The next day I was prevented from continuing the proving. I had no remarkable appetite; the epigastric region felt painful; the headache persisted, but only in a slight degree. The difficulty of swallowing was considerably relieved. The proving was also omitted on the seventh. September 8th. Feeling perfectly well, at 8 A.M. took 1 ccm. Pulse 74. After thirty minutes I felt the first indications of nausea. Pulse 79. With the increasing nausea the pulse rose to 84. Violent retching, chilliness, perspiration, and vomiting of the remains of the breakfast. Pulse 88.

With increasing weakness and with diminution of the nausea the pulse fell to 71, and half an hour later to 67. At noon I experienced most intense aversion, becoming qualmish on even looking at food. During the day I suffered from headache and pain in the abdomen, the latter increased in severity by the slightest movement. At night I slept little and very uneasily.

September 9th. I awoke with dull headache and burning in the vertex. At breakfast had little appetite. Pulse 69. I took a solution of 12 mlgm. After thirty-four minutes I experienced first the nausea, the epigastric region became swollen and very painful. Pulse 72. These symptoms disappeared, but returned more violent after five minutes, and were associated with a disagreeable metallic taste, accumulation of water in the mouth, burning in the throat, coldness of the extremities, retching, chilliness, sweat. Pulse 77. In order to relieve the flat taste, I drank cold water. The pulse fell to 72, but soon rose to 79. The symptoms disappeared completely after an hour and a half. Pulse 72. Only the weakness, dulness of the head, and pain in the throat returned. After an hour and a quarter I counted 65 weak beats of the heart. Through the day I had copious secretion of saliva and no appetite. On the following days I was prevented from continuing the experiment, but I was extremely weak and
