GENERAL

General

Great depression of spirits this morning.

everything for two or three hours appeared to go wrong with me, and to be without remedy.

being called out of town in the afternoon somewhat suddenly, these feelings went off in a great measure, though they did not entirely subside (sixth day).

considerable lowness of spirits.

great inaptitude for exertion, with sense of aching over the whole head.

this continued more or less all day (seventh day).

feel to-day very low-spirited.

cannot do anything. got better towards evening (eighth day),.

Intense depression of spirits usually accompanied the headache.

this melancholy was of a peculiar kind.

I felt that everything that was done was done in a wrong way, and could not be rectified.

if I felt that I had some duty to perform, I had at the same time a strong impulse not to do it, and was extremely restless in consequence.

I seemed to have an increased perception of what I ought to do, but, at the same time, an unaccountable inclination not to do it, to which I was irresistibly compelled to yield.

"I couldn't help it, didn't know why, but couldn't do it." The moral symptoms were not present at all during October.

they were very distressing while taking the November packet, and although present, were much less severe in December,.

Naja Tripudia evening, being in a very crowded hall at a public lecture, a slight frontal headache came on, with nausea and sour taste in the mouth.

nostrils also more clogged up this evening.

slight cough with wheezing.

these symptoms, however, are more attributable, I imagine, to the heated atmosphere of the lecture hall than to the cobra poison (fifth day),.

Found on going to bed peculiar headache.

dull constricted feeling across forehead, with heaviness of eyes (second night).

again the same slight headache, with dryness of mouth and cold feet.

the eyes are certainly the most painful, the pain is very much aggravated by motion or exertion of any kind, the scalp feels sore to touch.

the headache was very much relieved by smoking a small pipeful of very mild tobacco (third day).
