Great dimness of sight, attended with smarting and burning round the eyelids, and round the balls of the eyes.
constant lachrymation.
the eyes turned towards the nose.
twitching of the eyelids.
he could not close his eyes without great pain, from smarting of the lids chiefly.
there was considerable redness, and an apparent distress from the inflammation of both eyes. Some drops of the strong Camphora Camphor tincture were given him. The next morning everything appeared yellow. Theridion Ther nose was also considerably affected.
some swelling with redness and heat, within as well as without, with the appearance of suffering from severe coryza,.
Pain at 3 A.M. above on the top of the nose, so that he thought he had pressed it, followed by tension and erysipelatous inflammation and swelling from the back of the nose down both sides into the cheeks, especially on the right, like great redness of the cheeks, becoming white under the pressure of the finger, then rapidly again red.
hard to the touch. It continued to increase on the following days and decreased on the third day, followed by slight desquamation (thirtieth day). After several weeks, without marked cause, a similar inflammation, especially on the right upper lip, the sides and tip of nose,.
Soon complained of lancinating pains of the stomach, burning of the throat, and great nausea. In two hours, violent retching succeeded, and the vomited matters were streaked with blood.
they consisted, however, chiefly of frothy mucus. Next morning the pains continued, accompanied with cold clammy sweats, difficulty of swallowing, and in the evening, salivation. The mucus expectorated was of a pink color. Strangury supervened and continued for six days,.
About midnight he was seized with strong desire to urinate. In spite of all his efforts he could pass only a few drops of scalding urine, attended with severe pain throughout the length of the urethra, especially at the meatus, where he had a sensation like that of the pricking of pins. These symptoms became worse, and they were attended with priapism and severe pain in the genito-urinary organs, as well as in the lumbar region, and with intense thirst. At 9 P.M., he was much agitated, crying out and very restless. The eyes were injected and lustrous, the pupils dilated, and the countenance animated. The pulse was small and frequent. There was nausea with intense thirst. There was the most acute pain in the urethra, rendered much worse when with great difficulty some drops of urine were expelled. The desire to micturate was incessant, and an acute state of nervous erethism was produced. Only a very small quantity of urine could be discharged.
and this was thick and bloody. The abdomen was retracted and sensitive to pressure, especially in the hypogastric region, where the slightest touch produced acute pain. Pain was also felt in the lumbar region, owing to the kidneys being affected, and this pain extended downwards to the perinaeum. The catheter brought away a small quantity of thick bloody urine, containing album in marked proportion,.
He went to dinner at 6 P.M. (after half an hour), but had little or no appetite, and about 8.30 went to his room suffering much pain in his abdomen and in the region of the bladder. The first and most prominent symptom was an excruciating burning before passing water, which was increased as the water left the bladder. About 9 he commenced to have the most excruciating pain in his bladder, with the continual desire to pass his water, which could only be pressed out in drops, but often bloody, and sometimes small clots would pass through the urethra, producing so much agony that he came near fainting on several occasions. About the same time his bowels moved several times, the passage being loose and without pain, except as the last faeces passed from the rectum, when he would experience some pain and straining, which soon extended to the bladder, bringing on the most painful tenesmus, which was but little relieved when one or two drops of bloody urine passed. At 2 A.M. he complained mostly of a tearing-boring pain immediately over the region of the right kidney.
it was painful for him to lie in any position, but when his back was bent in, he felt more comfortable. At times he said the pain was most acute, and he would groan fearfully under the agony.
this would last for several moments, when a short period of comparative ease would ensue, only to be succeeded by the old pain. This acute pain did not remain entirely localized to the region of the kidney, but followed the direction of the ureters. The desire to urinate was somewhat better, still every ten or fifteen minutes he would seize the chamber, and under the greatest agony pass sometimes one-half ounce of urine without any appreciable appearance of blood, when probably the next time he would pass urine the first drop seemed to be almost pure blood. It was as the last drops passed the sphincter vesicae that the pain amounted to torture, and though a young man of courage, his self-possession would forsake him, and his face betrayed what his sufferings were,.
The amount of urine passed this morning was four ounces.
its color when held up to the light was a reddish brown, showing the presence of a small amount of blood. Neutral on test. On adding Nitric Acid Nit. ac., also when heated, albumen was precipitated in abundance, amounting perhaps to 1/14 per cent. The presence of albumen was found to be caused by the large quantity of blood in the urine. Under the microscope a very large number of blood-corpuscles, occasionally pus-corpuscles, epithelia of bladder, and spheroidal cells from the tubuli uriniferi and pelvis of kidney were to be found. The epithelia from the bladder were more numerous than those from the kidney. There was some mucus, with which the blood-corpuscles seemed to be intimately mixed. There were no crystals, no casts. The deposit at the bottom of the vessel, after standing some little time, was considerable (first day). Urine pale yellow. Reaction alkaline. Albumen present, but in less quantity. Under the microscope there was a diminution of the blood-corpuscles, and epithelia from the bladder. The cells from the pelvis and kidney had diminished some in number (third day). Urine light yellow, much deposit, reaction alkaline. Albumen much decreased. Microscope shows a marked diminution of blood-corpuscles, a diminished number of cells from kidney and epithelia of bladder. On the other hand there was much mucus, intermixed with large quantities of urates, and some crystals of Ammonium Carbonicum carbonate of ammonia (fifth day). Urine alkaline.
no albumen. no blood corpuscles. Increase of mucus, urate, and epithelia of bladder, and an exceptional cell from kidney (eighth day). Urine alkaline, much sediment. Large quantities of mucus, with epithelia of bladder, and an exceptional cell from pelvis of kidney (thirteenth day). Urine varied frequently in appearance now, sometimes being quite clear.
this was more marked toward morning, whereas towards noon it would be quite cloudy. Color of urine passed in office decidedly more natural. Alkaline, large quantities of mucus, urates, epithelia from bladder, and crystals of Ammonium Carbonicum carbonate of ammonia (nineteenth day),.
During slight, somewhat sudden, turning of the body, violent stitching in the left side, below the arm, on inspiration, extending through the whole body, just as if some one violently pierced him with a fine spear, with a jerk, so that it arrested the breathing for a moment.
it occurred but once on the other side with the same violence, and less violently during rest, but not at all on respiration or motion (second day),.
Increased thirst, with much drinking.
the urinary secretion does not compare with the quantity of liquids taken, the secretion of quite scanty thin urine occurs first in the evening, four hours after the drinking, and without any unpleasant sensation in the urethra.
the prover was usually obliged to urinate immediately, however little she had drank,.
Violent cutting pain in the abdomen and boring pains in the knees, so that she cried aloud Camphora Camphor brought no relief.
after coffee she vomited bitter stuff, after which it remained bitter in her mouth.
after repeated doses of Camphora Camphor, there at last came relief of the intolerable pains,.
Violent paroxysmal cutting and burning pains in both kidneys.
the region was very sensitive to the slightest touch.
this alternated with equally severe pain and burning in the tip of the penis, urging to urinate, and extremely painful evacuation, by drops, of bloody urine.
at times also he passed pure blood with some clots,.
Awakened at 3 1/2 A.M. by urging to urinate.
after the discharge of some urine, and extremely tormenting burning in the urethra. I could not remain in bed.
on sitting, the trouble was somewhat relieved.
was obliged to pass urine every three or four minutes, with almost unendurable pains. I drank three glasses of cold water in rapid succession, and after thirty minutes, passed a large amount of urine, with relief of the pain,.
Constant urging to urinate, with passage of a few drops, causing severe smarting and burning along the urethra, especially in the neighborhood of the fossa navicularis. Finally, after long and painful straining to pass a few drops of bloody and albuminous urine, a convulsive tremor attacks all the limbs, the forehead and chest are covered with cold sweat, and he sinks on his bed half-exhausted.
he cannot get a moment's rest, on account of the immediate return of these sufferings,.
33 1/2 ounces (sixth day), (from 4 doses of 2d dil.).
34 1/2 ounces (second day), (from 2 drops of 2d dil.).
35 1/2 ounces (fourth day), (from 25 drops of 6th dil.).
48 ounces (fifth day), (from 30 drops twice, and 5 drops once of the 1st. dil.).
the quantity passed at each time this day was a follows.
13, 10, 9, and twice 7 ounces.
39 1/2 ounces (sixth day), (from 50 drops of 1st., morning and evening).
34 1/4 ounces (seventh day), (from 50 drops of 1st. dil. three times),.
The daily quantity of urine, while taking the tincture, varied between 33 1/2 and 43 1/2 ounces.
in order to obtain the average amount. I included the quantity passed on the day after this proving (the first day of taking the 2d trituration), which amounted to 59 ounces, because it seemed to be the effect of the tincture, and not that of the trituration taken that day.
the average thus amounted to 41 1/4 ounces,.
GENERAL SYMPTOMS.

Complete emaciation; she can scarcely sit any more, because the tuberosities protrude,
The body is bent almost double, and the arms are folded across the hypogastrium (after four hours),

Terrible convulsions. sometimes he tossed about and rolled on his bed in despair.
sometimes he got up and rushed like a madman to a friend's bed in an alcove of the same room, seized the iron curtain rods and bent them like reeds, screaming and howling dreadfully.
eight strong men could scarcely hold him.
the convulsions succeeded each other almost uninterruptedly, and lasted for hours at a time, with a few minutes quiet interval.
sometimes they look the form of emprosthotonos, sometimes of opisthotonos.
sometimes he opened his mouth, and sometimes the violent trismus closed it tightly, with very hard grinding of the teeth, and running of frothy, at times blood-streaked saliva.
his face was expressive of fright and despair. In the convulsions, his hair was seen to stand on end.
his gaze was fixed, his eyes sparkled and flashed, and as their muscles were successively thrown into spasmodic movements they rolled frightfully. The temperature of the skin was natural, the pulse full and slow, 55 per minute. When a hand was pressed upon the umbilical region, the abdominal muscles entered into contraction, and that portion of the abdomen seemed glued to the spine, especially the recti, which were like tightened cords.
suddenly the disturbance extended all over the body, the spasms became general, and the head was thrown backward in a manner fearful to behold. When we sought to apply a sponge, dipped in a warm and oily embrocation, to the most painful part of the abdomen, the patient instantly broke away like a madman.
he frothed at the mouth more than ever.
his eyes became fiercer.
the constriction of the throat almost choked him.
he howled frightfully, like the barking of a dog.
and immediately after these symptoms fell into general convulsions, which ended in fainting and profound sopor. These attacks were renewed frequently.
pressure upon painful places in the hypogastrium, or the mere sight of liquids, was sufficient to produce them,.
After two hours and a half she was suffering much from burning pain and constriction in the throat.
her eyeballs were prominent.
her lips and mouth were parched and bleached (blistered). She was salivating, retching, and vomiting a glairy tenacious mucus.
her tongue was also bleached along the sides and tip.
but was blackish brown in the centre, and much swollen. The breathing was very irregular and imperfect, sometimes quick, sometimes slow, and at great intervals. The pulse at the wrist was full and bounding.
she frequently tried to urinate, but ineffectually, only passing a little blood instead of urine. The bowels acted slightly, the motion being black and tarry-looking. The pulse was now small and compressible.
she died in twenty-one hours and a half after the poisoning. The post-mortem showed in the posterior and upper surface of the stomach, three inches from the pyloric end, a perforation sufficiently large for a small hen's egg to pass through.
the edges of the perforation were ragged, congested, and blackened, and the mucous membrane for two inches on each side was congested and blackened, and the mucous surface of the stomach and lower end of the gullet generally in a blakened and softened state, and coated with a black grumous matter,.
