In a few moments after taking I awoke with an indescribable feeling of uneasiness and most deadly nausea produced by the taste and smell of the Camphor. I could not lie; the thought continually occurred, as in delirium, "I am dead! No, I am not dead! but indeed I must be dead!" and thus I flew round about myself like a top, with no other feeling than for the strong smell of the Camphor. The external world existed for me no longer. My thoughts were gone; on single fearful one remained; I imagined myself transferred to another world; for me all else was extinguished. I sat up in bed, but all about me had indeed disappeared. I was alone in the great universe, the last of all things. My ideas of the world, God and religion, now seemed to me to have existed only in my imagination; the earth, upon which yesterday I lived and moved, had run its appointed course, and I was the final and solitary fragment of the whole creation. There was no other feeling in my soul than that of my hopeless, endless damnation. I sank back upon the bed, believing that I was the spirit of evil in a world forsaken of God . Faith and hope were gone. There was here no longer any God, or rather the Infinite himself, like all his works, had ceased to be. Me misery was boundless; time itself, was no more; in short, I suffered such fearful anguish as no fancy can comprehend. What soul could point to itself my everlasting dwelling as the Evil One, alone in a vast universe, without faith or hope, and my heart forever broken by unimagined tortures?
I rose suddenly from the bed, rushed to the window, and threw it up. It was a night in September; all nature lay quiet, illuminated by the moon, with the clear stars looking down. The sight increased my despair; poor nature extinguished; the sky transparent and lifeless; the earth was still in the dim, dead light. I could not bear it. The sense of touch was gone, and my eyes protruded from their sockets. For a moment I resolved to throw myself from the window and sweep through the domain of my infernal kingdom, but a weak glimmer of reason held me back. I tried to weep, but my eyes were dry; my hands could no longer grasp anything, and I felt no moisture in my eyes. I tried to pray, but the words sounded hollow from my chest, like reverberations from a cracked vessel. A fearful terror seized me, and I knew not whither to fly. I cried out aloud, "And so I am indeed dead; that hell I used to think about is no fiction, but a reality which I am doomed to experience forever. And yet I confessed this very morning, and no heavy sin rests upon my conscience." And then came doubts about my doctrinal views, for I had never been of strong faith. Thus hopelessly devoted to everlasting damnation I recollected some syrup, a sort of stomachic elixir, which was in my closet, and felt for it in the dark; but, oh, horror! my band no longer perceived resistance, my whole body was insensible and dry as marble, and I was conscious of no internal warmth. In my ever-growing terror I sought to recall sensation, even if it were pain, and tore the skin of my face and hands, but it was useless; I felt no more.

I ran to the mantle-piece and struck a light. I saw it, came to myself, and the thought came over me that after all it might be only a dream, - a horrible vision of the night. I left the light burning, again lay down, and took a book, that I might drive away the fearful images; but scarce was I in bed before they returned, and with them a renewed desire to throw myself from the window. I started up, ran out, and fell prostrate, with a loud shriek for help, not far from the door of a neighbor. Persons came out, and seeing my desperate condition, were about to bring me a cordial, but I could not bear to be alone. Fearing some new misfortune, I seized my neighbor and held him fast, that he might not leave me. They gave me a few swallows of Moldavia water, which were followed by nausea and efforts to vomit. Next day they told me they could not stay in my room for the smell of camphor; on this account they brought me down stairs into the street, that I might breathe the fresh air, while they were making some tea for me. The sight of the sky, the pale moonlight, renewed my torturing fancies. I pressed close to my neighbor, and implored him to talk to me, that I might be freed from them, but terrified at my terror, he could find no topic for conversation. We went upstairs again, and tea was given me to drink. It tasted cold, though the woman next day assured me it was fairly boiling. Violent vomiting them came on, without any relief to my mania; they read to me, but I could not follow the train of ideas; my own thoughts absorbed me.

After the vomiting I began to feel a little cold; I became more quiet, was put to bed and fell asleep. Next morning I visited again the scene of my night visions, and attempted to drive away my morbid impressions by force of will. I went to my business in town, but the attacks returned. Again I felt my sense of touch disappear; my eyes started out of their sockets, convulsive movements attacked my head, and I could not get warm. A physician prescribed some quieting mixture. In the evening I attended the theatre; but scarce could the excitement of the crowd, the music, and the play beguile my thoughts.

What I have related took place, not in a half-waking state, but clear and distinct, with full conviction of their reality, and so vividly that I perfectly recollect the smallest incident. I suffered all, not only in a higher degree than I can express, but also in an inconceivably longer duration. As I lay stretched on my couch, as the evil demon, and suffered all the anguish of a condemned and God-forsaken soul, the time seemed an eternity, and the most painful thought was that I was forever deprived of the Divine protection, and of every consolation and every hope. Nothing remained to me but the conviction of my everlasting damnation.

Since that time I have been subject to these attacks of terror at night, when I am alone. I feel a tendency to self-contemplation; outer things vanish, and I behold myself in spirit freed from matter.

I am constrained to this agonizing self-contemplation, in spite of every effort of the will, and every opposition which my thoughts can make . In consequence my nervous irritability is greatly increased, and I sleep but little and very restlessly, which is quite the reverse of my former habit. The pollutions have much diminished in frequency, but I often wake terrified by nightmare; I shrick and call for help, because it seems that a murderer stands at my bedside. I dare not drink either tea or coffee, lest the phantasms of that fatal night return; I cannot then sleep at all. My temper is irritable and peevish, with an inclination to despair and suicide. I am afraid to go to sleep; and when I think it near it suddenly flies from me, my eyes open wide, and I fall into self-contemplation and mystical and dismal trains of thought. The source of my annoyance is not the presentation of images, but of feelings simply, without any mixture of the visible; it is my personal self, my unembodied spirit. By day I am quite quiet; night and solitude are my terrors. I still have faith and reason enough left to see in all this nothing but the phenomena of a morbid state, 71.

[Inflammation of the brain (fatal)], 22.
Rush of blood to the head (after six hours), 1.
*Great rush of blood to the head, 26 . [The vertigo at first, and loss of consciousness, together with general coldness of the body, seem to be the primary action of a large dose of camphor, and point to a diminished afflux of blood from the heart to the distant portions of the body; while the rush of blood to the head, heat in the head, etc., are the reaction of vitality, just as much as the previous opposite condition is the supposed primary action. So slight inflammation, which appears suddenly, may be removed by the palliative, cooling effects of the primary action of camphor taken internally; but long-continued inflammations cannot be so removed. The continued or even frequently repeated use of camphor is not seldom followed by obstinate inflammation of the eyes, which is persistent, as one of the secondary or reactionary conditions of the organism. Although I cannot deny that an external application of camphor acts homœopathically in acute cases of inflammation of the eyes, yet I myself do not approve of it, since judging by experience, I never treat such cases by external applications. -H.]

Within five minutes after the last dose, without the slightest warning, he had a severe epileptic fit, in which his tongue was badly bitten. Ever since he has felt "queer," complaining of a peculiar cold sensation of the tongue, extending for about half an inch from the tip, 86.
A most vacant expression of countenance, eyes wandering about the room, speechless an powerless. Soon had a violent epileptic fit, which lasted for about two minutes. She went into a state of stupor, and in about half an hour vomited freely, the matter ejected smelling most strongly of Camphor. In the morning she complained of violent pain in the head and chest, and still the taste and smell of Camphor were most disagreeable; her mouth was slightly distorted, 77.
A fit of epilepsy, which lasted about ten minutes, followed by an extraordinary state of exhaustion. The extremities were cold, the surface was covered with clammy sweat; the pulse frequent and scarcely perceptible, and the pupil dilated. When roused he had scarcely power to articulate. Occasional suppression of the urine for three months afterwards, 74.
Violent convulsions and nervous sequelæ, which continued for several months, 81.
Convulsions; speechless, but perfectly conscious of all that was going on around him, 73.
Breathing slow, stertorous; pulse 98 and forcible; veins of forehead distended and tortuous; countenance livid, and covered with perspiration; convulsions (after half an hour), violent, racking the whole frame, in which opisthotonos was considerable; whole surface red with capillary congestion, the eyeballs injected and prominent for an instant, and then the eyes forcibly closed, loud moaning, grinding of teeth, and blowing of bloody saliva, through the closed teeth (after three-quarters of an hour); this continued for about half an hour, when the opisthotonos gave place to rapid rolling over and over, now this and sometimes that way, burying the face sometimes for a moment in the bed, so that respiration was sometimes difficult, 76.
Burning of the mouth, throat, and stomach (immediately); convulsions (in fifteen minutes); black in the face, body arched backwards; the teeth so firmly clenched that nothing could separate them; the eyes wide open, pupils quite insensible to strong light, but neither contracted nor dilated; the eyeballs were rapidly rolling from side to side; the pulse was as times hardly to be felt; at others it was full and bounding; the breathing was gasping, with long intervals between each gasp (in three hours), 83.
Immediately became very giddy and unwell; threw her arms about her sister. and was seized with strong convulsions. In about a quarter of an hour there was free vomiting and she remained unconscious for some time longer. Some time later she complained of headache and giddiness, and was evidently confused; pulse quick; skin moist, 78.
After four hours the child was observed to do something which elicited the remark, "Are you dreaming?" No reply was given by the child, and it was noticed that something was wrong with him; his eyes were fixed in a stare, and he stood motionless and unconscious. His brother took him up to carry him to an adjoining room, when he immediately became convulsed and perfectly, rigid, with his head and legs bent back, so that he could only be placed on his side upon the floor. The convulsions increased until the flesh from the head to the shoulders became purple, and the pulse decreased rapidly until it could not be felt. The body then lost its rigidity, and was apparently lifeless; but in about ten seconds the pulse could again be felt, the convulsions returned, and the child foamed at the mouth. Applications of cold water brought him around in about four minutes; violent vomiting the ensued; he was hysterical for a times, but within an hour he was so far recovered that he could be put to bed, 84. [930.]

First Experiment.

I took one scruple of Camphor inclosed in a little of the pulp of tamarinds. It made no alteration on the height of the mercury in the thermometer at my stomach. But twenty minutes after, my pulse beat only 66; whereas, before I took the dose, it had 68; some time after this it was reduced to 65.

Second experiment.

I took two scruples in a little syrup of pale roses; which immediately caused a sensation in my mouth, something like that occasioned by taking strong peppermint-water, but much more disagreeable. On looking at the thermometer at my stomach, the mercury, ten minutes after the dose, was fallen one degree; and my pulse, which before was 77, only beat 75. Twenty-five minutes after the dose, the mercury was risen to the same height at which it had been before I took it, and my pulse was again at 77.

Long before this time, however, I began to feel an unusual lassitude and depression of spirits, accompanied with frequent yawnings and stretchings, which stole upon me by slow and almost imperceptible degrees; till, at the end of three-quarters of an hour from their first appearance, they were grown extremely troublesome. The mercury in the thermometer remained at the same height as it had done before the dose; but my pulse was now fallen from 77 to 67.

Soon after this, my head grew so very giddy, that it was with great difficulty I could walk across the room; when feeling myself, as I thought, stifled, I imagined the fresh air would remove that symptom, and therefore opened the window and looked out; but everything in the street appeared to me in the utmost tumult and confusion; in which, imagining that I was involved, I felt myself in danger of losing my balance, and tumbling from my position. I therefore staggered from the window to my bed, and having a book with me, read several pages of it; but had no distinct idea of any one sentence, but far less could I connect two or more of them together, so as to comprehend the meaning of the author. At last, being able to read no longer for the tumultuous motion which I perceived among the letters of the book, and finding it had no power to divert the attention of my mind from the uneasy sensations which disturbed me, I arose to see whether I could walk any better; but to my great mortification, found my head more confused, and could hardly walk any at all. I then returned to the bed, and being a little thirsty, called for some mutton-broth to drink. It being dinner-time, the servant, instead of bringing the broth, covered the table as usual, not knowing that I was complaining. When the victuals were brought, I got out of bed again, and with no small reluctance swallowed a little of the broth, but could neither taste bread nor meat, on account of a nausea, which, however, was not accompanied with any inclination to vomit.

I now staggered again to bed, and took up the book I had left there, in order to make one more effort to divert the attention of my mind from the uneasy sensations I felt; but could not read, as the letters on the book formed only a confused group of unsteady images. Now the confusion of my head increased so much, attended with such a noise in my ears, that all knowledge of what was present, as well as memory of the past, was soon entirely lost in as state of insensibility.

Fortunately, about this time, one of my young gentlemen came into the room, who told me afterwards, that I desired him to shut the windows, and then threw myself backward on the bed, where I lay a few minutes very quiet, then started up, sat on the side of it, and made some efforts to vomit, but threw nothing up; that I then flung myself back again with dreadful shrieks, fell into strong convulsions, foamed at the mouth, stared wildly, and endeavored to lay hold of and tear everything within my reach. This outrageous fit was succeeded by a calm, something similar to fainting, with this difference only, that my color was very florid. The servants, concluding me to be mad, durst not come near me, and therefore sent for my brother, who lived at a little distance. When he arrived and spoke to me, I awaked, as I thought, from a profound sleep, and had just sensibility enough to know him. My pulse beat 100 in a minute. Though I was recovered so much from the fit I have just now described as to know every one about me, what is strange is, I was entirely ignorant of my own actions, as well as of the place where I was.

At this time, feeling myself very warm, I got out of bed, threw myself down on the floor, and thinking myself refreshed by the cold of it, called for some cold water, and bathed my hands and face in it. This refreshed me a little, and in some degree quieted a tremor which had seized on every part of my body. I drank plentifully of warm water, and soon vomited; and though more than three hours had passed since I had taken the Camphor, the greatest part of it was evacuated, undissolved, along with the water.

In mentioned before that I had not only lost all remembrance of my past actions, but also the knowledge of every present object; but I now began slowly to recover both, though in a manner so amazing, that my business, connections, and everything of the same nature, which I had entirely for gotten, at their first occurrence startled my mind, as if they were things I had never before been acquainted with; and what is still more extraordinary, after I knew every one of my family, I did not recollect the use of any part of the furniture of my own room; and every object on which I cast my eyes appeared as strange and new to me as if I had only that moment begun my existence.

Whether it was owing to the vomiting or to the Camphor I know not, but I was now affected with a pretty severe headache, which disturbed me a good deal all the evening. Between 5 and 6 o'clock the giddiness of my head, singing in my ears, excessive heat and tremor, which had been so severe on me before, were now considerably abated, but far from being entirely gone. About 7 o'clock Dr. Monro returned to visit me, and found my pulse reduced from 100 strokes in a minute to 80. We now applied a thermometer to my stomach, and in half an hour the mercury arose two degrees above blood-warm; it was then changed from my stomach to the doctor's, and in half an hour the mercury fell more than one degree.

Between 8 and 9 o'clock, feeling myself still very much confused, I went to bed, and soon after fell into a very calm and easy sleep, which continued till next morning, with much less interruption than usual. When I awaked, I found my headache quite gone, though a little of the confusion in it still remained. Some time after this, upon going to stool, I was extremely costive, though I had not been so before; nor did I feel anything of it afterwards. All that day I had a very great soreness and rigidity over my whole body, as if I had been exposed to cold, or undergone some severe exercise; but this, with all the other symptoms, went off entirely in a few days. Hoffman mentioned a case where half a drachm given to a healthy man, neither augmented his natural heat, quickened his pulse, brought on thirst, or occasioned any uneasy sensation whatever; and another, where two scruples, almost as soon as swallowed, gave a remarkably severe headache, an extreme coldness, pale countenance, languid pulse, a cold sweat over the head, loss of memory, etc. Monsieur Duteau relates that one drachm was given to a girl in a very severe colic. After taking it, the pain soon became easier, but it brought on such an extreme cold over all her body, as resembled death, which could hardly be removed by the assistance of warm cloths wrapt round her, and the internal use of wine, 72.

Violent headache, sickness, and inability to work for two months, 82.
Violent pain in the head and through the temples, accompanied with an indescribable sensation of sinking and exhaustion, as though her breath were leaving her (immediately); flushed face, eye suffused with blood, pupils dilated, extremities cold, pulse full, soft, and about 40, breathing laborious, and a constant putting of the hand to the top of the head, and again to the stomach, as though suffering great pain in both of those organs, the brain and the stomach. In addition to these symptoms there was a total loss of speech for the time being; but notwithstanding the power of speech was lost, her hearing remained unimpaired, so that she understood every inquiry that was made, and nodded her head in confirmation or denial of all questions asked her (after four hours), 73.
