ABDOMEN

Stitches in the region of the spleen, worse on pressure and deep inspiration, inward pressive (fourth day), 107.
At 7 A.M., a gurgling in my bowels, with inclination to pass wind; on attempting to suppress it, slight tenesmus. Urging to stool, getting more and more violent very quickly; on trying to act against the pressure on my way to the water-closet, most intense tenesmus (so severe that I had to stand still and take hold of a chair to support the muscular system). All this was accompanied by constant gurgling of fluid in the bowels. Stool gushing out, with relief of tenesmus. Through the day had six more stools all of the same character, of yellow water mixed with white foam, preceded by gurgling, but without pain. One dose of Podoph. 30th stopped the diarrhœa (second day). Inclination to stool, which I could control; no stool (third day). Stool in the evening, of a natural consistency, but of a white-yellow color (fourth day), 107.

Respiration almost lost, 79.

HEART AND PULSE

There was from the first great oppression in the cardiac region, 61. [1720.]
Heart's action weak and irregular, 83.
Pulse.
The effect of Acon. Tinct . in every case is a more vertical primary rise, then a quick and slight descent and rise again, forming a double curve instead of the single downward curve, and the remainder of the line is unaltered. The pulse hence becomes softer, with a feebleness yielding to the finger, and shows a tendency to dicrotism. There is a more sudden expansion of the artery, but a diminution or unevenness of arterial tension. This may by caused by the more powerful contraction of the left ventricle, or a loss of elasticity in the vessel, allowing it to yield more to the ventricular action. I infer the latter to be the true explanation, because the total length of curve or curves, showing the systolic distension, remains unaltered. But his change of arterial elasticity may be due to changes of capillary pressure, or at any rate probably indicates capillary dilatation, 101.
Pulse rose from 92 to 104, 93.
Pulse rose from 80 to 88, 94.
Pulse rose from 68 to 76, 95.

Trembling of the limbs, which moved incessantly, 78.

SUPERIOR EXTREMITIES

Drawing pain and soreness in the left shoulder and arm (on which I found myself lying each time when I woke), (first night), 107.
Soon after dinner he complained of a peculiar tingling sensation in his hands and arms, which rapidly increased; medical aid was instantly procured, but he rapidly sank, and died in about an hour. His brother experienced the same sensation in a slighter degree, and is now recovered, 48.
Almost immediately, shooting downwards in middle of palmar surface of left wrist, 91.

INFERIOR EXTREMITIES

Pains and cramps in the legs, 46.

GENERALITIES

Violently convulsed in the face and upper extremities; her countenance pallid, with an expression of great misery. Her pulse was sluggish, but not feeble. In a few minutes vomiting came on, and she awoke as if from a profound sleep. Soon after, breathing slow, like one in profound sleep. Pulse full, but not exceeding 40 in a minute. Having roused her from her sleep with great difficulty, she vomited abundantly. She then for the first time expressed great alarm at finding herself totally blind. The pupils were not much if any dilated, but were insensible to the impression of the strongest light. She stated that she had most horrid dreams, and complained of a dreadful sensation at the pit of her stomach, which still she did not call pain. She begged to be let sleep again, but in spite of all our efforts to the contrary, her head drooped on her chest, heavy sleep came on, which in a few minutes ended in a convulsion, such as before described, and this again was succeeded by vomiting and a perfect restoration of consciousness. This state of things was constantly repeated for several hours. When in sleep her pulse fell gradually, being sometimes as low as 20 in a minute, but when roused, never beyond 40 in a minute. She expressed, when awake, a great desire fore cool air, which afforded great relief. This state of things continued till 4 o'clock, when she complained of acute agonizing pain in the back of the neck and about the base of the brain, with violent permanent spasms in both arms, extending to the fingers. From this time on she recovered, 59.
Convulsive attacks coming on at short intervals, had vomited once, and complained of dryness of the throat, coldness and tingling of the extremities, and muscular weakness. The pulse was almost imperceptible, countenance pale and pinched, and skin shrivelled and covered with cold clammy perspiration, 100.
Spasmodic movements resembling convulsions, were also quite common, and from three to five well-marked convulsions, 86.
Very slight convulsions occurred at repeated intervals for about five hours, during which time he was supposed to be dying, 61.
Seized within ten hours with violent spasms and severe pains, with prickling sensation in the limbs back, and chest, difficulty of breathing, and partial loss of sight; the pulse was considerably lowered, and the skin cold and clammy, 67. [1750.]
Spasms intermitting from three to five minutes, when a most violent one took place, in which the teeth were fixed, eyes set, voice lost, and to all appearance dying. This passed off, and they became lighter, voice and sight returned; then followed for a short time hydrophobic spasms, which prevented her from taking anything, 69.
Convulsive fit; the hands were clenched; the arms bent and drawn forcibly backwards; the muscles of the back became rigid and arched, so as to bear a marked resemblance to the spasm of tetanus, differing from it, however, in that there was no remission of the spasm, until the fit entirely passed off, 74.
Convulsive movements of the limbs, which became strongly flexed, and which it was impossible to extend; cold clammy sweat; eyes turned upward; pulse lost; these symptoms lasted about three minutes; followed by general relaxation, loss of vision, vomiting, 78.
Tremor, so that she could not stand without assistance, 68.
General trembling, 103.
Looking like her brother, but much worse. After remedies she became sick, but without beneficial results; and the attacks became more frequent and severe, being attended with tympanitis, pain around waist, convulsive movements of the legs, the hands being benumbed, cold, and clenched; the pulse slow and scarcely perceptible, and she seemed about to expire. During one of the several attacks, the pulse became imperceptible at the wrist, and only audible by the ear to the chest; and then, instead of convulsions, she had complete trismus and tetanus; the hands being clenched, the arms fixed, the jaws tightly closed by the rigid masseters, and the head and trunk retracted, till she only touched the couch by her head and heels. From this time the paroxysms retained their new character, but gradually became less violent till about midnight, when she could be left with safety. The next day she suffered from severe pain in the spine, with great debility, and it was several days before she was quite well. She recollected little which occurred during the more violent attacks, 65.
Semi-delirious, very flushed in the face, intense dyspnœa, bathed in icy-cold perspiration, pupils widely dilated, pulse not perceptible at wrist, and the heart-sounds could faintly be heard; vomiting, 102.
In about twenty minutes he complained of a very bad feeling in his head, and was given a strong emetic of

Sulphate of zinc . In a few minutes after copious vomiting had been produced; by this he became suddenly insensible, and I found him, about twenty minutes after, lying upon his back in a state of complete insensibility, stertorous breathing, face dusky-red, lips puffed out with each inspiration, skin cold, and profuse perspiration, especially on the face; pulse very weak, irregular and intermittent. A moment after I came in he vomited mucus and bile, and spoke, complaining of feeling cold. He remained awake for a few minutes, during which time he appeared perfectly rational; there was great numbness of the mouth, tongue, lips, cheeks and extremities, and a strange dull feeling in the head. He then relapsed into the comatose condition, relieved every five or six minutes by his efforts at vomiting. The depressed state of the heart and circulation, and the consequent coma and coldness of the surface, called for a strong cardiac stimulant, and I gave him one-drop doses of Tr. digitalis in a teaspoonful of water, every five minutes. The vomiting continued, and the pulse at the pulse at the wrist was imperceptible for ten or fifteen minutes at a time; only a faint, confused movement of the heart was perceptible by auscultation. The vomiting was still frequent and violent, so that streaks of fresh-colored blood were observed in the matter ejected, 57.

"About five minutes after swallowing the tincture, was seized with a pricking and tingling down the arms and fingers, and a painful numbness across the wrists; the tongue and mouth next felt the same, then the legs and feet, and in less than fifteen minutes my face seemed to be swelling and throat growing tight. On looking at my face in the glass, it seemed blue and indistinct." In twenty minutes she felt sick, and made efforts to vomit, but could bring nothing up; she was then anxious to get upstairs to bed, but her legs failing she only reached the first floor, and threw herself upon the sofa; there she remained for half an hour, almost blind, but conscious of her plight; after that she made another effort, but when half way upstairs he lower extremities quite failed her, where she was found in the following condition: Her eyes fixed and protruded, with contracted pupils, countenance livid, jaws and fauces rigid, her arms and hands quite cold and pulseless, the legs and trunk much in the same state; her breathing was short, imperfect, and laborious, while the heart fluttered feebly under the left breast. She now and then gave a heavy sigh, and tossed the arms backward above the head, at the same time attempting by jerks to shift her position. There was also rattling and vibration of the trachea. Upon taking an emetic she was seized with a strong convulsive fit, the eyes being drawn upwards under the lids, the fists clenched across the throat, and the teeth grating violently together, and a thick, ropy, frothy saliva was forced through the lips. At this moment her urine and fæces passed unconsciously. In two or three minutes the convulsive state passed off. She says that the reason why she does not sleep is because she cannot keep the eyelids closed. This is singular and consistent with the fixed and staring condition of the eyes, and bears some relation to the contracted state of the pupils, 44.
The face had a pinched, anxious expression; the forehead wrinkled and corrugated between the eyebrows; the pupils slightly dilated; the pulse 45, feeble and intermitting; extremities cold; consciousness quite unaffected. She said she felt a burning sensation in the fauces, and a constriction at the chest; and that she had no feeling in her arms, legs, and face. The feeling of having no feeling (to use a paradox), she said, was "dreadful, worse than any pain," 73. [1760.]
Alarming prostration; the breathing became labored; the pulse at the wrist irregular, intermittent, and finally imperceptible; a quantity of frothy mucus was discharged from the mouth and nostrils; the skin became dusky; a cold clammy sweat bedewed the face and forehead, 90.
Vomiting, slow and intermittent pulse, dilated pupils, with great tendency to stupor, and apparently suffering much pain, 45.
Pulse subdued, difficulty in swallowing, speech affected, and memory partially gone, 85.
Slight congestion of the membrane occurred, and photophobia in both cases; also slight contraction of the pupil. The tingling sensations continued for six hours; and at the end of that time the eyeball, in one case, protruded an eighth of an inch from the socket; in the other the tingling was referred to the angle of the jaw and down the side of the neck. They both lost an entire night's rest, 72.
His mouth filled with water soon, afterwards he had a depressed, heavy look, his face being rather livid, and he staggered about as if he were drunk, complaining that his legs felt swelled, and too heavy for him to lift them. The numbness about the jaws continued, with occasional attacks of extreme depression and faintness, during which the face became livid, and the pulse very feeble. After remedies he became sick, when he began to rally. The next day he had severe pain in the spine, with great debility, and it was several days before he was well, 64.
Soon complained of great pain; vomiting and purging set in; he lost consciousness for a few seconds, but at other times was sensible. He was in a state of collapse on admission; very pale; skin cold and covered with perspiration; pulse slow, intermittent, and scarcely perceptible; bowels relaxed, 60.
Pallid countenance, dilated pupil, cold extremities, extremely feeble and slow pulse, alternate relaxation and spasm of the muscular system, respiration very much retarded, subsultus tendinum, or rather wild movements of the arms and hands, and complaining at intervals (a word or two at a time) of intense thirst, severe burning pain in the stomach, vertigo, headache, dryness of the throat, etc.; said she could not swallow or speak, that the room was quite dark; "I am so numb, I can't breathe," etc., 89.
In fifteen minutes complained of numbness of lips, tongue, and throat; considerably excited, but very rational; said his feet were prickling and numb, as well as his throat, which had lost all feeling; pulse about 80, considerably weaker than normal; profuse sweating; disturbed respiration; complains of nausea. After vomiting his pulse became very weak, and he complained of numbness over his entire body; became delirious, and said he was dying; was very restless, jerking, and jumping about; was with difficulty kept upon the bed, 99.
Immediately on swallowing, felt a burning sensation in mouth and throat, and shortly afterward in his stomach, which was soon accompanied by a numbness and tingling of the lips and tongue. Half an hour after taking the fluid he vomited freely, and half an hour later began to complain of numbness and sense of weight in his extremities, which became very cold, and he was unable to raise them from the ground. His breathing shortly became hurried and labored, and he complained of pains running from his head through all his limbs. Face flushed and conjunctiva injected; hands and feet cold and clammy; restless, frequently "drumming" table with his feet, saying they seemed like two heavy weights attached to his body, 83.
Directly after swallowing it she noticed a nasty taste in her mouth, and immediately felt a tingling sensation in her mouth, lips and tongue; her teeth felt as if they were loose, and her lower jaw felt dead; the eyes were dim, and she shivered. Twitching of the muscles of the neck, and spasms of those of the limbs, collapse, 105. [1770.]
Burning and numbness of the lips, mouth, and throat, and violent vomiting. She experienced a curious sensation of numbness in the hands, arms, and legs, and she lost the power of articulating. Her attempts to speak were attended with unintelligible sounds only. She experienced great muscular debility, and was unable to stand. She felt stiffness of and difficulty in moving her limbs. Some of her external senses were disordered, thus, to use her own expression, though her eyes were wide open, her sight was very dim, and surrounding objects were seen indistinctly. The sensibility of the body was greatly impaired; her face and throat were almost insensible to touch. She felt very giddy, but was neither delirious nor sleepy. For the most part she was conscious, but at times scarcely knew what was passing around her. Her body and extremities were cold. She was frequently pulling her throat about, but she knew not why. 50.
She was similarly but more slightly affected, except that she evinced a slight tendency to sleep. Like the others, she was constantly putting her hands to her throat, 51.
In about three-quarters of an hour he complained of burning and numbness of the lips, mouth, and throat, which soon extended to the stomach, and was accompanied with vomiting. The matters ejected were first his dinner, and afterwards a frothy mucus. Extremities cold, but chest warm; the head was bathed in cold sweat. His eyes, to use the expression of his neighbor, were "glaring." He complained of violent pain in the head, and trembled excessively. The lips were blue. He frequently put his hand to his throat, 49.
Immediately felt a sensation of numbness in the tongue, accompanied by difficulty of swallowing; soon afterwards she began to cry violently, this act being accompanied by convulsive twitching of the facial muscles. Immediately after this she lost the power of walking, and began to eject a quantity of mucus from the stomach. Three hours after taking the dose she was lying upon a sofa, resting upon her back, with her eyelids closed and the pupils slightly contracted. She was quite unconscious when spoken to, and during an hour's observation she only spoke intelligibly twice, and then said, "What is it?" Every now and then she uttered a peculiar plaintive cry. She was continually moving her tongue round the interior of her mouth, from time to time thrusting the organ out beyond the lips, and moving it from side to side. The pulse was weak but regular. The bystanders said it had been intermittent. The hands and feet were cold. There was constant lachrymation, insomuch that a woman was constantly wiping the sufferer's eyes with a hand-kerchief. The intensity of symptoms varied; sometimes she would lie quite still for several minutes, and then all at once be seized with a paroxysm of sighing, every now and then exclaiming, "What is it?" During the night she had very little sleep, her rest being disturbed by dreams that she was falling from a height. The next day she complained of in the lower part of the back, and numbness in both arms, 47.
Severe pains shooting through head, peculiar tingling sensation in whole body, arm sand limbs benumbed, a choking sensation, lightness in the head, with partial loss of sight (in half an hour). Restless and delirious, features pinched, a dark ring around eyes, pupils slightly contracted, skin covered with cold clammy perspiration, breathing hurried and short, pulse 45, and scarcely perceptible at the wrist, at intervals peculiar choking paroxysms (after two hours). Sleep restless, disturbed by dreams (first night). Slight headache, burning pain in stomach and bowels, which were tender on pressure (second day), 82.
The first intimation that anything was wrong was given about an hour and a half before I saw him, when he complained of his throat, walked unsteadily, and articulated with difficulty. I found him comatose, the eyes half closed, expressionless, the pupils insensible to light, though not much dilated. The pulse was feeble and irregular, respiration requiring artificial aid to support it, and the muscles and ligaments so much relaxed that he could neither stand nor sit up unless supported. His respiration finally degenerated to a gasp, occurring five or six times to the minute, then he would convulsively straighten out in the lap of his attendant, throw his head and shoulders back, and his hands over his head, as if, mechanically, to get a longer and fuller respiration, then relax into the same state as before, 68.
First felt numbness at the tip of the tongue, extending to the base, with a sensation that it was swelled; rigors, with great depression, and a feeling of extreme illness; she got out of bed, and soon was so paralyzed that she could not get into bed without assistance; she lay quiet for some time, but thinking she was dying, she begged to be taken to the window, which was soon done; and now she found that, with a feeling that her eyes would drop from their sockets, she lost her sight, and her jaw dropped, so that she was obliged to have it tied up. She was again carried to bed, and remained in much the same state at intervals during the night and following day. The third day she had a severe attack of pain in the stomach, 63.
Breathing extremely slow and slightly stertorous; pulse very feeble, and scarcely counting 40 in the minute; extreme pallor of the countenance; she was speechless from debility, the expression of the countenance showing the intellect was still clear. The muscles of the face were feebly convulsed, as also the right leg and hand, at short intervals, about every second or third minute. She labored a part of the time under a delusion that her head was many times its ordinary size, which she thought we ought to perceive, 58.
Found stretched on the bed, with his face downwards, groaning and complaining of agonizing, burning pain at the epigastrium; parched mouth, intense thirst, constant retching; the pulse was imperceptible, the skin cold, though perspiring, and the countenance expressive of extreme agony; jactitations incessant, scarcely remaining half a minute in the same position, 56.
Giddiness; intense burning feeling along the tongue, extending to the fauces; coldness of the hands and feet, and along the spine; twitches of the muscles of the face, and of the fingers and toes; dimness of vision; dilatation of the pupils; inability to swallow; weak pulse; involuntary escape of fæces. A little before death there was one universal convulsion. Towards the fatal termination his skin was cold, his lips blue, his pulse almost imperceptible, and his respiration oppressed and labored, 54. [1780.]
From about twenty minutes after taking the medicine, continual retching or unsuccessful efforts at vomiting; great prostration; pulse imperceptible at the wrist, the action of the heart scarcely audible, the skin cold and clammy, the eyes staring; pupils dilated, the right one being really oval, and the left irregularly polygonal; conscious until death, which took place in the following manner. Having resisted for awhile the attempts to give her medicine, she suddenly sat up in bed and said, "I will take more if you won't force me." Having then tried to swallow a little, she sank back again; the heart's action was no longer perceptible by the stethoscope, and after this she gave but one inspiratory heave, her death occurring somewhat more than five hours the time of taking the poison, 52.
At the end of five minutes felt a tingling in the fingers with a feeling as though the temperature of the body were lowering. This continued to a sense of coldness, with dry, parchment-like skin. Then a chilliness, with occasional nervous uneasiness and anxiety, which continued an hour and three minutes. Then alternate chills and flashes of heat, almost constantly breaking into each other, lasting thirty-five minutes (the tingling and nervousness continues). Then a dry heat set in, with a peculiar tenderness of the flesh to the touch, and nervous anxiety. Thirteen minutes after the inception of this stage, a slight headache set in, with seething in the ears. At the end of fifty-seven minutes this last stage closed, with slight vomiting and sweat. Tingling nervous anxiety, and dry skin existed throughout, after the first five minutes, 66.
In an hour the pupils were so dilated that the iris could not be seen, and this condition lasted till the following day. It was a fortnight before she had entirely lost the tingling and numbness, and feeling of malaise, and for weeks after she was subject to sudden fits of numbness in the feet, so severe as to cause her to fall; even six months afterwards she was liable to vomitings and sensations of cramp in the throat, to which she was not subject before she took the poison, 71.
Extreme restlessness, 66, 74.
Loss of muscular action, 86.
Prostration (after one hour), 61.
General nervous prostration, with great tendency to sleep, 86.
He gradually became weaker, and on the following evening was found in a dying state, from which he did not rally, but expired about ten o'clock in the morning, 46.
Extreme languor, 74.
Faintings, 88. [1790.]
Numbness over entire body, 69.
Numbness, sensibility impaired, 86.
Great numbness and feeling of cold, 66.
Numbness all over the surface of the body, more especially on the hands, face, and calves of the legs, 74.
Benumbed tingling in the legs, arms, head, face, and mouth, 88.
Numbness, tingling, and slight muscular weakness (after first dose). She started soon after the second dose to walk a distance of two miles, and did not complain until about half way; on reaching her destination she began to stagger, and was soon completely prostrated; her voice became very weak, and she complained of cephalalgia and lancinating pain in different portions of the body, but particularly in the joints, 106.
Tingling and prickling, 86.
A great sense of oppression and weight, 74.
Her pains she described as " Agony !" "Oh, such agony!" but said her pain was not acute, 69.

SKIN

Patchy spots and discolorations on limbs, 53. [1800.]
Spasmodic contractions of the skin, which the patient endeavored to relieve by constantly rubbing the parts with his fingers; this singular sensation in the skin, especially in the face may be likened to the effects of electric sparks, and was especially marked in the wings of the nose, which the patient constantly pinched, 77.
Insensibility of the skin (mind unaffected), 78.
Constant peculiar prickling in the skin of the face, 76.
Acute itching over the whole body, especially on the face about the nose, 77.

SLEEP

Very drowsy and sleepy all day (third day), 107.
Shortly after she felt quite drowsy; she feels herself sleeping, while still awake; extremely prostrated, and as if beaten all over. This experimenter was very sensitive to the action of this medicine, and recognized at once that Aconite had been given to her, 81.
Restless night, tossing about in bed (first night), 107.

FEVER

Chilliness, 103.
Chilly feeling, with white cold hands, towards evening (second day), 107.
Temperature very low, with icy coldness of the skin, 78. [1810.]
Skin icy cold, 103.
Extremities cold, 46, 66 , etc.
Axillary temperature was 97 1/2° (after two hours), 106.
A feeling of dry heat and tightness of the skin over the whole body, accompanied by a sensation of numbness and tingling. This commenced in his feet, and spread quickly upwards, 74.
Cold sweat, 79.

SUPPLEMENT: ACONITUM. Authority.

108 , Drs. Flechner, Frankel, and Schneller, Zeit. der K. K. Gesel. der Ærzte zu Wien, 1847, p. 107; they began with 1/2 grain of the extract of the fresh herb, and increased to 26 1/2 grains.

The first doses of from 1/2 grain to 5 grains caused only frequent eructations, diminished appetite, scanty stools, and, somewhat later, a dull headache, especially in the frontal region, lasting some hours. Doses of 5 1/2 to 10 grains caused pressure in abdominal region, distension of the abdomen, slight griping about the navel, nausea, white coating of the tongue, diminished appetite, dryness and scraping in the throat. In addition, a sensation of heaviness in the head, especially in the frontal region, weariness in the limbs, increased warmth in the whole body, ill-humor, with a certain mental restlessness and disturbed sleep, accelerated pulse and palpitation. Larger doses, 20 to 26 grains, aggravated the abdominal symptoms, and, in addition, caused pain in the abdomen, great nausea, great evolution of gas and rumbling in the bowels, increased and prolonged frontal pain, restless sleep troubled by dreams, and at times transient stitches in the præcordial region. In one person the extract caused no effect, except swelling of the tonsils and scanty stool. In another prover, in addition to the preceding, there were the following symptoms: nine hours after 24 1/2 grains, violent drawing pain in the back, seated in the lumbar region, so that every movement of the trunk, standing up, stretching out, stooping or sitting down, were very difficult; the place was also painful to external pressure; this pain disappeared after five hours, reappeared in the same manner in the abdominal muscles, which became tense like a board. This disappeared after a few hours, leaving only some tension in the abdomen. From a dose of 26 1/2 grains taken two days later, there set in sticking pains in the left hypochondrium, back, and head, and after nine hours tension in the lumbar region. In the same person there was weakness of memory, apparently occurring in connection with the above-mentioned mental restlessness, which did not allow him to fix his attention for any length of time, 108.
