59 , T. Wilson, M. R. C. S., Brit. Journ. of Hom., vol. xvii, p. 274, effects of vapor.

April 15th, 1857. In good health, aged thirty-eight years. Yesterday I was exposed in a small room to the vapor of the Sulphuret of carbon, for half an hour, in the evening. To-day, in the afternoon, pain commenced suddenly in the right lower eyelid, as if bruised, first observed on touching the eyelid, and near to the outer angle; after a short time the same bruised feel in the upper eyelid came on, over the region of the lachrymal gland; the globe of the eye at the upper and inner part has the same bruised feeling; the pains are all aggravated by movement of the eye or lids, also by pressure; the eyelids of the same eye feel as if swollen, but are not so; the conjunctiva of the lower eyelid redder than usual, at the outer margin of the lid; sensation as if a stye would begin. Humming noise in left ear. The above feelings were all new to me, never having had anything of the sort before.

16th. The same lower eyelid hot, painful, sore, slightly swelled, rather red near the outer angle of the eyelid.

17th. Since yesterday, continued humming in left ear, extending to the back of the head; stye forming on right lower eyelid, hot and painful.

18th. Loud humming, like wind in the distance; left ear. Lower eyelid very red and swollen, more so at the outer edge; punctured the stye with a lancet, a small quantity of muco-purulent discharge came away. When talking, I feel obliged to raise the voice on account of the loudness of the noise in the ear.

In the evening and during the night, always a feeling of fulness at back of head, with humming noise there; these sensations gone in the morning.

Yesterday took Pul. 3d without relief.

Drowsy day and night ever since exposed to the vapor of the Sulphuret of carbon.

Yesterday after dinner, and during dinner, feeling of deafness in the left ear, as if obstructed by a thick substance.

19th. Noise continues, worse after food; left ear rather deaf, and feels obstructed. Lower eyelid discharges yellow thick pus; this morning not so painful.

Took tincture of Belladonna 1st dil., a few drops yesterday, with slight relief to the noise in the ear; it returned, however, in the evening as bad as ever, with oppression at the back of the head. To-day took a few drops of tincture of Belladonna 1/10th, without the slightest relief.

20th. Noise in the ear not quite so loud. Vertigo this morning felt at the back of the head. Severe laryngeal, tracheal, and bronchial cough came on yesterday, continues to day, with soreness in the chest; expectoration of thick mucus this morning.

Took Merc. sol., 3d trit., gr. ii, and Phos. 3d, three hours afterwards.

22d. Cough continues but not so severe; sneezing, running at the nose, with profuse discharge of thick mucus, lachrymation, and headache in the forehead and back part. Headache worse yesterday, this evening nearly gone. Noise in the ear much less, but still continuing slightly. Symptoms of the last two days like influenza.

Took Merc. viv., 2d trit.; Kali hydr., 1st dil., gtt. iv; Hep. sul., 3d trit.; one dose of each at various periods. Eyelid about well.

27th. No noise in the ear to-day, except a little before rising in the morning. No deafness; this is the first day since the noise in the ear commenced that I have been free from it. Still running at the nose, and cough first thing in the morning, getting easier by bedtime; ceasing entirely when lying; mucous rattle in upper part of left lung a few inches above the nipple. The right nostril bled a little yesterday and the day before.

30th. Rather loud noise in left ear, like gusts of wind through a funnel or hollow tube. Influenza continues; herpetic eruption on the upper lip.

May 3d. Noise in left ear has continued since last date, more intermitting, and not so loud. Cough, with expectoration of mucus. Mucous râle in the upper part of the left lung on first waking in the morning.

Took one dose of tincture of Bell., m. 1st, to day.

12th. Noise in left ear continues, other symptoms about gone. Very low-spirited from the first symptoms till yesterday.

20th. Noise in left ear, but less severe.

25th. Noise in the ear about gone.

28th. Another stye forming on right under eyelid. Noise in the ear beard slightly at times.

June 14th. Occasionally noise in the left ear.
