- Found lying on stairs apparently in great agony, and complaining of a burning pain in the stomach, with violent retching, headache, and great thirst (first night). In the morning much better, her face flushed and swollen, and she complained of burning pain in the stomach, headache, and dizziness (second day), 231.

Pulse continued at or about 100 for a fornight afterward. She went her full time, and a very fine girl was born, after a safe but lingering labor, 233.

- She was found in bed early in the evening suffering much from sickness, vomiting, and purging. Continued to get worse all night. Next morning the symptoms were much like those of cholera, except that the vomited matter was like thin coffee-grounds. She was extremely sullen and silent, would not answer any question, and would rather suffer thirst than ask for drink. Pulse feeble, tongue white, epigastrium tender. Next day symptoms much aggravated. Countenance had assumed a sunken aspect and dark leaden hue. Everything taken into the stomach was immediately rejected, and the purging was also frequent, with pain and straining. This state continued with little variation till next morning, when she died convulsed, sixty hours after the first symptoms were noticed, 310.
- Some restlessness during the night, with watch-fulness and slight pain in stomach. In morning she became sick and complained of great thirst; the pain in stomach had become much more intense. During the day sickness increased, and she was repeatedly purged; countenance looked pinched and extremities cold.

Thursday morning she was worse, being cold and drowsy; she was evidently dying; face pale and anxious; extremities cold and bedewed with clammy sweat; pulse hardly perceptible; and she lay in a state of incipient coma.

The vomiting continued to recur throughout the day. In the evening the fever had increased; the pains in the feet and legs were more severe; and she complained of soreness and tenderness of the labia prudendi; though in neither situation could any unnatural appearance be discovered (sixth day); some delirium in the evening (seventh day); fever lessened in the morning and increased at night (seventh and eighth days); about midnight taken with labor pain, and in three hours brought forth a stillborn fœtus, weighing nineteen ounces, and apparently between the fifth and sixth month.

- The Arsenic is taken pure in some warm liquid, as coffee, fasting, beginning with a bit the size of a pin's head, and increasing to that of a pea. The complexion and general appearance are much improved, and the parties using it seldom look so old as they really are. The first dose is always followed by slight symptoms of poisoning, such as burning pain in the stomach and sickness, but not very severe. Once begun it can only be left off by very gradually diminishing the daily dose, as a sudden cessation causes sickness, burning pains in the stomach, and other symptoms of poisoning, very speedily followed by death. As a rule Arsenic-eaters are very long-lived, and are peculiarly exempt from infectious diseases, fevers etc.; but unless they gradually give up the practice invariably die suddenly at last. In some Arsenic works near Salzburg, the only men who can stand the work for any time, are those who swallow daily doses of Arsenic; the fumes, etc., soon killing the others, 320.
- About an hour after taking my first dose (I took the same quantity, 3 grains, daily for three months), there followed slight perspiration, with griping pains in the bowels, and after three or four hours a loose evacuation; this was followed by a keen appetite, and a feeling of excitement. With the exception of the pain, the same symptoms follow every increase of the dose. I subjoin as a caution, that it is not advisable to begin Arsenic-eating before the age of twelve or after thirty years. Evil consequences only ensue from a long-continuing interruption. From circumstances I am often obliged to leave it off for two or three days, and I feel only slight languor and loss of appetite, and I resume taking Arsenic in somewhat smaller doses. Once on the third day of the second week, after leaving off the dose, I was attacked with faintness, depression of spirits, mental weakness, and a total loss of the little appetite I still had; sleep also entirely deserted me. On the fourth day I had violent palpitation of the heart, accompanied by profuse perspiration. Inflammation of the lungs followed, and I was laid up for nine weeks, the same as on the first occasion of leaving off Arsenic. Had I not been bled I should most likely have died of apoplexy. As a restorative I resumed the Arsenic-eating in smaller doses, 321.
- First appeared irritation of the mucous membrane, causing diarrhœa and vomiting, with various other symptoms of severe gastric derangement, resulting in permanent indigestion; also incessant severe cold in the head, which in one instance, lasted for several years without being touched by any remedy; ulcerated throats, with acute inflammation, resembling diphtheria and quinsy; severe spasmodic cough, spasmodic asthma, bronchitis, and congestion of the lungs; soreness of the mouth, lips, and tongue, which appeared as if scalded in patches; inflammation of the eyes and eyelids (the conjunctiva invariably being bright red), in one case threatening absolute loss of sight; congestion and torpidity of the liver, with the various symptoms resulting therefrom, and severe bilious and feverish attacks. There was, in short, irritation of every organ. In many cases, if not in all, the action of the heart was weakened, and in some palpitation frequently occurred. There were pains in various parts of the body, especially across the shoulders, down the spine and limbs, also in the joints, which were often stiff and swollen; scaling of the skin and irritating eruptions, which no remedy ever relieved except Turkish baths. The effects upon the nervous system were most remarkable, producing a thoroughly shattered constitution; great irritability, depression, and tendency to tears. These latter symptoms were especially marked in the children, and also in servants who had come to the house in ordinarily good health, and who each became affected by degrees as above described. The list also includes giddiness, headache, acute earache, and neuralgia; bleeding at the nose; frightful dreams; faintness; cramps, rigor and numbness of the limbs; rigid spasms and convulsions. The last symptoms developed in the worst cases were loss of memory, and threatenings of paralysis; also spasms, with twitching of the body and limbs, 340.
- After about twelve hours, when on the stool, he suddenly felt great difficulty in breathing, with cramp in the chest, hands, and arms; immediately afterwards the cramp attacked both calves, and he became very cold all over and stiff, so that he became completely helpless, and had to be entirely lifted into bed. Violent vomiting very soon set in, and the cramp became more severe in the calves, though it did not again affect the chest and arms. The breathing, however, continued to be much oppressed for two hours. He was by this time in a state of great prostration; countenance strangely anxious, and very restless; skin cold and clammy; pulse very feeble and frequent; eyes deeply sunken and surrounded with a well-marked dark border; lips and tongue parched, with great thirst; breathing slow and much oppressed; sometimes sighing; burning pain in stomach, increased on pressure, and inclination to vomit; extremities icy cold in spite of hot applications; had had severe vomiting, with griping pain in bowels, and purging; also cramps, first in chest and arms, and afterwards in calves. After a few minutes most violent cramps came on in both calves, causing intense suffering, and rendering the muscles hard and knotty. The cramp came on almost every fifteen minutes, lasting a few minutes each time; the slightest movement, such as turning in bed, seemed at once to excite the spasm. Violent vomiting of a greenish-yellow fluid also occurred at intervals. Brandy and all warm drinks were almost immediately rejected, but a little cold water was retained. Mustard plasters applied to the spine, chest, and calves, were scarcely felt by him, 338.
- One man got a sore mouth; another had every symptom of a cold, and felt a general stiffness of the limbs; a woman was in the room for half an hour, and her throat became rough and remained so for some days. A paperhanger in the same neighborhood remarked that his mouth was always sore when he put on green paper, and his men often spoke of their eyes becoming inflamed and their hands ulcerated, 384. [3430.]
- The symptoms commenced within a half to three-quarters of an hour after eating dinner. They had faintness, nausea, and incessant vomiting, with a burning pain in the epigastrium, increased on pressure, and gradually extending over the whole abdomen, followed by headache and severe diarrhœa, with a sense of constriction and heat in the fauces and throat, great thirst, and in some painful respiration. Pulse quick and very feeble, from 100 to 180; cold, clammy skin, with very severe cramps in the legs in those who had diarrhœa. Some of the men had tumefaction of the penis. The above symptoms were found in all the men. Some were collapsed. A great many had severe cramps in their legs until 11 o'clock at night, and some little pains in the abdomen for several days. Ten of the men had slight gastritis. One man had and still has paralysis of the left arm and leg, and the sensibility of the skin is impaired; he complains of coldness in his limbs, 387.
- Three or four years after occupying the room, or perhaps a little earlier, she began to have a feeling of general malaise. The first thing she recalls is a sensation of exhaustion. It was especially difficult for her to rise in the morning, although awake at a very early hour. The debility increased as the illness went on. She would feel quite well and strong for a time, and would at once experience the sense of prostration on making any attempt at movement, and at times, on any unusual mental exertion, making the duties of a housekeeper particularly onerous. She speedily increased considerably in weight, from about one hundred and twenty-five to one hundred and sixty pounds. This condition lasted for some months, and then gave place to emaciation. At certain intervals afterwards the various symptoms of the digestive, nervous, and circulatory systems, which I shall mention, appeared and increased in severity up to the time I saw her. The precise date of the access of each symptom is unknown, but each had shown itself, either continuously or at intervals, for a number of years before. I found her in bed, perfectly prostrated, hardly able to move hand or foot; with skin very dry and rough; hands and feet cold or cool to myself and to the patient. Emaciation was marked; a countenance naturally rosy had become sallow; tongue inflamed, dry, cracked, with a brownish coat in centre; gums also dry and angry. The sensation of dryness was apparent to herself, with a feeling as if the mouth were lined with flannel. No sensation of dryness or pain in the throat or œsophagus. Nausea often about 10 P.M., and nearly always when she awakened, but not during the night, unless she happened to be up and about for any purpose. At times pressure in the stomach; frequent thirst in the evening, seldom during the day; capricious appetite. During her early years she had often had diarrhœa, but she had been free from it for some years. Two or three years ago it came on at intervals; of late it had been more marked, the discharges watery and painful. Her eyes had for some time shown signs of weakness and congestion. They had previously been very strong. At last she could not open the lids at night without lifting them with her fingers. At the time I saw her there was marked conjunctivitis, as if from some external irritation. No headache, but an "aching tired sensation" in base of brain. At times, during the past few years and never before, a tenderness in the neighborhood of the liver, which would pass away after slight diarrhœa. A carbuncle or perhaps a large boil on the back was reported as having occurred three or four years before. The sleep was more easily disturbed than when in health, and she had often wakened chilly or feverish. The feet and legs, to the knees, were frequently cramped, and had been relieved by warm applications and frictions. The symptoms detailed had always been, to a certain extent, relieved during absence from home; but in about ten days after her return the exhaustion and other evidences of disease would recur, and soon be as bad as ever, 177.

- Convulsions with loss of consciousness, followed by colic, 365.
- Three spasms within an hour, the first one very severe, the second and third consecutively lighter (after six hours); slight spasm, confined to the muscles of the thighs and legs (after seven hours), 330.
- Violent spasms, and what she termed cramps in the legs, 332.
- One was seized with convulsions, and died in about five hours in a strong convulsive fit, 230.
- Convulsive tremors, "so that the bed shook under him," accompanied by sensations of cold and extreme faintness, 256.
- Fits resembling epilepsy, except in the absence of frothing at mouth, 282.
- The little boy had been in convulsions, and was then in a semicomatose state. The child had felt chilly, and had been sick. In the evening the symptoms seemed somewhat relieved by the remedies administered, but during the night he became worse; and his sister was also seized with convulsions, followed by dysenteric discharge from the bowels, 322.
- Convulsion followed convulsion in rapid succession, and so stiff and rigid was the entire muscular system that no sort of external muscular force could have succeeded in producing the least amount of flexion of either arm, leg, or other joint of the body, without producing lesion. So clenched were the teeth as scarcely to admit of the escape of the forth and contents of the mouth and stomach, 346.
- Found prone on the floor, body arched in a curve. As I took him by the hand and called him by name he instantly became so convulsed that three men could with difficulty restrain him. The paroxysm lasted thirty or forty seconds. The convulsive paroxysms were attended with wild, staring, bloodshot eyes, with imprecations and fearful ravings, and with maniacal fury. When the convulsions ceased he invariably sank into a temporary prostration. His pulse during the intervals was irregular, uneven, intermittent, and accelerated, 300. [3450.]
- In twelve hours he began to feel a stiffness of neck, with slight difficulty in swallowing; the cuticle of scrotum peeled off entirely, leaving the cutis vera exposed, inflamed, and bleeding; both testes were enlarged, and could not be touched; great thirst and headache; the most distressing symptom was an indescribable sensation as if the hair was standing on end, and being pulled up by the roots. Stomach was irritable with vomiting, and epigastrium was painful on pressure. He had been purged twice freely, and said he felt as if his bowels were on fire, 288.
- He appeared to be nearly in articulo mortis ; his face, which had been swollen, having assumed the appearance of the true facies hippocratica . On examining the contents of the utensils in which he had vomited, a fluid was perceived of a yellowish and greenish color, and in two of them stercoraceous matter; the pulse was gone, his voice faint and tremulous; and he pointed to the abdomen in great agony. On examination I discovered a very remarkable irregularity of surface, occasioned by the spasmodic contractions of the muscles of the abdomen, and even of the viscera; this unevenness extended from the epigastric region to the pubis, and to the right and left hypochondrium. He complained of extreme faintness, and dreadful sickness. He had been violently purged; the alvine secretions were all of a bright homogeneous green color, like paint. Each effort of vomiting and purging was preceded and followed by these painful gripings and spasmodic contractions of the abdominal muscles. He also complained of great heat in the stomach, which he compared to a furnace, or red-hot irons, which sensation commenced at the tongue, and was felt throughout the course of the œsophagus to the cardia, or upper orifice of the stomach; insatiable thirst, violent headache, the eyes impatient of light, but the pupils sensible, and the extremities cold. The patient attempted in this dreadful state to get out of bed, to walk to the night table; he was directly seized with vertigo, dimness of sight, and palpitation of the heart; he fell down, and went off into an epileptic fit; he was assisted on the bed, and in a few minutes recovered from the fit (first day). In the early part of the morning he had another attack of epilepsy; the symptomatic fever ran high, the pulse 120; he complained of spasmodic twitchings about the chest and abdomen, palpitation of the heart, great languor, accompanied with a constant sensation of fainting, tongue white but not dry, occasional chills, followed by an increase of heat, headache, and vertigo (second day). Skin moist and more temperate, tongue less coated, not dry, but sore and swollen, the burning heat in the stomach rather less violent, and he expressed a degree of hunger; the pulse 98, spasmodic twitches in the arms and legs, with a cold sensation in the latter (third day). Tingling and burning sensations, beginning at the extremity of the fingers and gradually creeping to the shoulders, sometimes one foot, and at others both affected with a burning feel, commencing at the toes and gradually rising above the ankle-joint; palpitation of the heart, great depression of the spirits, with a perpetual sensation of swooning, and frequent twitchings of the muscles of the chest and abdomen, and of the upper and lower extremities (fourth day). Owing to eating a free portion of animal food he suffered a slight relapse of the fever and much pain in the stomach, also passed a restless night, with much thirst, and was again attacked with spasmodic twitchings in the chest and upper and lower extremities (fifth day). He complained of a very singular affection in the upper and lower extremities; the arms were several times in the course of the day seized with a numbness and prickly feeling, accompanied with a sense of great weight, like what is commonly called being asleep; and this symptom continued daily, more or less frequently, for six weeks, but upon raising the arms in an upright position, it immediately subsided. The same feeling almost as constantly attacked the legs, but occasionally with and sometimes without the corresponding affection of the arms; the legs were some minutes longer affected, by reason of his not being able, as he himself observed, to place them in the same position as the arms (ninth day), 232.
- Burning heat in the stomach, much nausea, with vomiting and severe gripings, with purging, extreme faintness, palpitation of the heart, headache, trembling of the right arm, and right lower extremity (first day). Four epileptic fits in the course of the night, preceded by violent palpitation of the heart, accompanied with a peculiar tremulous action of the right arm and lower extremity; a considerable degree of symptomatic fever insatiable thirst, a white but moist tongue, the face flushed, the respiration hurried. Pulse 126, irregular and contracted, frequent gripings in the bowels, and spasmodic twitchings in the muscles of the chest and abdomen (second day). Much fever, respiration hurried and great thirst, violent and incessant palpitation of the heart; the fits had recurred twice in the night; he had had no sound sleep; if he went into a doze, he woke suddenly and much agitated; the pulse 120; spasmodic twitches, with tremor in the right arm and lower extremity, violent headache, and the eyes painfully affected by light; constant vertigo, which was increased if he attempted to sit up in bed, or upon the slightest exertion (third day). Only one attack of the epileptic fit in the night, and had slept three or four hours towards the morning; pulse 100, breathing less hurried and more natural (fourth day). A relapse of the fit in the night, preceded by palpitation of the heart and tremulous agitation of the right arm and lower extremity; the fit lasted nearly two hours (fifth day). On the eighth day an epileptic fit at 8 P.M., and it returned daily and periodically about the same hour every evening for a fortnight afterwards; the fit generally lasted nearly two hours, and he required, from the violence of his struggles, the assistance of several persons to hold him whilst the epilepsy continued. On recovering he looked wild, forgot where he was, and talked incoherently, and as he gradually emerged from this state, complained of extreme languor, with great prostration of strength. Towards the latter end of the second week, the fit became shorter and less severe, and he sooner recovered when out of it; and at the expiration of a fortnight from the first effects of the poison, he enjoyed and interval of seven or eight days without a relapse; hopes were then entertained that he would recover, "the fits becoming every day shorter, and recovery from each more rapid and complete." But they again returned with the same or even greater degree of violence, and he has been afflicted with fits up to the present time; he appears to have outgrown his strength, possesses very delicate stamina, and serious apprehensions are still entertained of the result, 235.
- Vomiting in the course of half an hour; soon afterwards, several dejections. Vomiting and purging, at short intervals, continued through the day. Evacuations consisting mostly of a serous fluid and bile. Quantity vomited during the day amounted to six or eight quarts by estimation. In the afternoon, on attempting to walk from one bed to another, he fell down senseless, was convulsed, had cramp in extremities, and was cold. At 7 in the evening, seventeen hours after taking the medicine, found him as follows: Extremities cold, bathed in perspiration; skin blue and corrugated, feeling as if parboiled; no pulse perceptible at wrist; pulsations of carotids rapid and fluttering; eyeballs retracted in orbits; countenance livid; voice husky and guttural; extreme thirst; distress at epigastrium; frequent vomiting; mind clear; whole appearance like that of a person affected with malignant cholera. Cramps and coldness of extremities increased, vision failed, voice faltered, throat became dry, tongue swollen, annoyed by hiccoughs, delirium, and at last death, 249.
- Arsenical ointment was applied (to cure chronic inflammation) to the breast of a woman, aged thirty-nine, the cuticle having been removed. The first application was May, 21st, and was immediately followed by severe violent burning in the breast. Violent headache, thirst, sickness, and occasional retching, numbness in arms and legs, sleeplessness, and loss of appetite supervened in a short time. The application was repeated daily till 25 th. On this day the pain in the breast became intolerable; there was faintness and palpitation. Inflammatory action extended from the breast to the shoulder and arm. On the evening of the 26th she had severe pain in belly. On the 27th the points of the sore not sloughing were smeared with ointment. About 2 P.M., she was seized with a kind of fit, with lividity of the face, foaming at the mouth, and moaning. She continued unconscious for several minutes, and on regaining consciousness, said she had been in a queer place, that she felt as it were a dart go through her, that she then became insensible, and had no further recollection of what happened to her during the fit. In the afternoon she felt more comfortable. Between 9 and 10 P.M., she suddenly said, "There it is again," was off in a fit, and died immediately, 337.
- Cramp attacked his legs and stomach; the muscles of the former were spasmodically contracted, and the abdomen was also rigid and tender. In the intervals of the paroxysm of the pain he lay with his eyes half closed; tongue covered with a creamy fur. The breathing soon became more rapid and rather difficult, and accompanied by an increasing lividity of face. The spasms continued, but never attained to anything like general convulsions, 292.

- In about five minutes a peculiar tingling sensation commenced in left arm, lasting about forty-five minutes. Fifth day, numbness of thighs and calves. Eleventh day, anæsthesia of fingers, and partial paralysis of flexors of forearm; a similar condition shortly afterwards attended the lower extremities, and was accompanied in both by pain persisting for a few days. In five weeks from the commencement of the illness, skin of entire body had desquamated; most remarkably so on hands. In six weeks the paralysis of flexors of both extremities was unabated, and accompanied with soreness on pressure. In two months and a half he was still unable to stand without support.

- The whole body became covered with an eruption of small pimples, like miliary rash, 369.
- General miliary eruption over the whole body, on the sixth day, immediately followed by amelioration of all the symptoms, and re-establishment of the urinary discharge; this eruption lasted five days, after which the body was covered with fine mealy scales, 357.

- Several small superficial ulcers extending along the inner surface of each lip, varying in size from mere specks, the largest being 1/12th inch in diameter.

- She had three attacks of intermittent fever; the first in November, 1875, lasting three days; the second in December, 1875, lasting seven days, and the third from 14th to 16th of January, 1876. The symptoms of the attacks were as follows; Between 8.30 and 9 A.M., after getting out of bed, chilly, with chattering of teeth, nails and lips blue, sometimes sickness on waking, bad taste in mouth, desire for much cold drink, pulse feeble, wants to lie down and to be quiet, and wrapped up, breath offensive, tongue brown; this lasts till 1 P.M., then fever comes on. During the fever there is full pulse, frontal pain, not much thirst, especially hot to touch on abdomen, with pain there, feet and hands cold objectively, not subjectively, cannot bear the least draught, breath offensive, tongue brown; this lasts till 4 or 5 P.M.; she then seems well for one or two hours. Then about 6 P.M. she is slightly chilly till about 8 P.M., then there is heat again, cannot sleep, bad dreams, cannot sleep after 3 A.M. She is losing flesh very, fast, and getting very weak. The second attack was the most severe, and the third (which occurred after she had been removed to another room) was the slightest, 375.
- In this way can be produced in healthy persons attacks of remittent fever, though not such rigors as those of true fever, but only flushing heats, disappearing and returning, and chiefly felt in præcordial region and forehead. Such accessions terminate sometimes in partial or general sweats, and at other times merely in a moist state of skin. This
Arsenical fever never acquires any regular type. It is rare for the excitation, to be carried this degree, and there is more usually an increase, more or less considerable, of the heat of the body, which seems to have its source in the stomach and præcordial region, whence it passes to the rest of the body, but is especially felt in forehead and eyebrows. To produce these effects a rather strong dose is required, 317.
