Observation 1.

Being in a good state of health, my pulse beating 64 per minute, I took at 8 A.m., before breakfast, 5 milligrams of Tartar emetic in water. This dose was repeated for five days without perceptible effect. The sixth day I felt nothing until 4 P.M. The respiration then appeared to me a little less free. Feeling no further effects, and my appetite continuing good, I took on going to bed about 9 o'clock, a dose of 1 centigram. The night was passed in a restless manner, and the sleep interrupted by a fatiguing heat; I felt necessitated to drink several times; the respiration was slightly impeded; on rising, general uneasiness, weariness, similar to what follows a febrile fit, the mouth clammy. I took at 8 o'clock in the morning, 1 centigram. No appetite; a simple soup for breakfast without relish. All the day I was in the same state. About 5 P.M., greater uneasiness, especially about the epigastric region; nausea; desire to vomit, but without result; respiration more impeded; short dry cough, pretty frequent; great thirst; heat in the head; white tongue; drinks appear always too sweet; clammy mouth; two loose evacuations during the day; palpitation of the heart; bruised feeling and general weariness, compelling me to go to bed at 8 o'clock. The ear applied to the chest gave evidence of nothing abnormal, except that the respiration appeared much too rough. At 9 o'clock I took another dose of 5 milligrams. Agitated sleep, difficult respiration, feeling of pressure on the chest during sleep. At 5 A.M., I was awakened by a violent rigor, it lasted twenty minutes, and was followed by heat; the pulse, which had been little affected during the two previous days, increased to 78, was full and strong; skin hot; face red; thirst urgent; heat in the head; pretty strong palpitation of the heart; slight burning at the stomach; fulness and inclination to vomit; respiration very much impeded; feeling of pressure and constriction of the chest; cough frequent, and a little moister; on auscultation, the respiration appeared rougher than the previous evening, and deep inspiration was accompanied by slight pain under the left nipple. Night very agitated; nightmare; disagreeable dreams. I felt much the same in the morning as I had the previous day, but deemed it advisable not to carry the experiment further. During the subsequent days, the following symptoms occurred. The tenth day no stool; towards evening, pulse 72; respiration somewhat less difficult; cough the same; hardly any pain in the side; great thirst; a good deal of uneasiness; no inclination to vomit; night, a little less restless. The eleventh day, a little less roughness of respiration on auscultation; cessation of the pain; pulse nearly normal; skin still hot; thirst less; uneasiness diminished; appetite in part returned; respiration still obstructed; cough a little less; the night more tranquil. Twelfth day, appetite; breathing nearly free; the cough continues; still a little uneasiness; scarcely any thirst; tranquil night. The symptoms continued to diminish the subsequent days, so that by the eighteenth there remained no trace of indisposition, except slight cough, which persisted some time longer. Not being sufficiently edified by this single experiment, three months subsequently, I commenced another.

Observation 2.

During eight days, I took each morning, 5 milligrams of Tartar emetic, without feeling anything. The ninth day, at 8 P.M., I took another dose of 1 centigram; night somewhat disturbed; the respiration appeared somewhat less free, but that was not very distinct. The tenth day, on rising, a little weariness; I again took 1 centigram. During the day I had some uneasiness; mouth clammy; little appetite; breathing impeded. About 10 P.M., I took another close of 5 milligrams; sleep very disturbed, and towards morning uneasiness, especially at the epigastrium; some nausea; loss of appetite; respiration impeded; a watery stool at night; great fatigue; urgent thirst. From the morning of the eighth day the cough appeared, and went on increasing; it is short, frequent, and painful; auscultation gave no results. At 9 A.M., 1 centigram was taken. In the course of the day, rigor, which lasted half an hour, with burning in the head and beating of the heart; thirst; inclination to vomit; pulse 80, strong; skin hot; cough dry and painful; considerable difficulty of respiration; sensation of weight on the chest; auscultation shows rough respiratory sounds; general bruised feeling. This state continued all day and night, which was very much disturbed by strange and fatiguing dreams. There were two watery stools during the twenty-four hours. The following days the symptoms declined, but more slowly than the first time, so that by the twenty-fifth day I had not entirely recovered my health, 67.
