On the following morning the mouth and fauces were in an extremely affected state. Everywhere the epidermal coating of the mucous membrane had been abraded, but still hung partly to it in large pieces, the mucous membrane itself was swollen and loose, the tongue was injected scarlet, the papillae swollen, arch of the palate and the uvula extraordinarily swollen, the colors of these parts intensely dark red. In the mouth and fauces the patient had the sensation as if glowing coals were there, together with constant pressure to swallow and hawk up, which increased the pain.

On the night of the 15th, when the flow of the urine, which was proceeding at the rate of 3iss. per hour, was augmented in two and a half hours by 3xiv, and no fluid was supplied to the system, the pulse became perceptibly small (almost thready), and slow.

it remained equal and regular, there was no thirst, no shivering, and no nausea.

the skin was dry and warm. In six hours the pulse had quite regained its force and frequency, and the other symptoms had disappeared without any fluid having been taken,.

Sudden arrest of breathing in the open air (when hunting), with very rapid palpitation.

GENERAL SYMPTOMS.

Attack of spasm. when slumbering in the evening, in bed, he felt that he could not move the tongue well, rose up, cried out, but fell back again, stretched out the arms and legs, then he moved them.

the eyes were distorted, he gnashed his teeth, together with flow of saliva from the mouth and icy coldness.
