November 23, 1905 (preliminary 

 night) : 



11p.m. Made up bed and retired; slept 

 pretty well but woke up rather 

 early. Had a pain in my back which 

 I think was due to lying in one po- 

 sition for so long a time. Also had 

 a pain in my stomach which was 

 more noticeable whenever I took a 

 deep breath. 



November 24, 1905: 



7 a. m. Arose. Mouth and throat were 

 very dry. 



7 h 50 m a. m. Taking a deep breath causes 

 a pain in my throat; otherwise I 

 feel well though my mouth is dry.

 p. m. 



l h 15 m p. m. Drank some water.

 been lying down and now feel much 

 better.

November 25, 1905: 



7 h 2 m a. m. This night passed better than 

 the last, though I awoke early. 

 Backache and stomach-ache were 

 not so bad as the night before. Very 

 thirsty. Felt rather warm, on aris- 

 ing, almost like a fever. 



7 h 30 m a. m. Defecated. 



7 h 50 m a. m. Drank fresh water; feel 

 much better. Feverish feeling has 

 left me and I feel quite comfortable.

 dizzy when I stood up.

7 h 5 m p. m. Got up and drank some water. 

 Have a slight headache, also pain in 

 the stomach; otherwise am all 

 right. 



7 h 30 m p. m. Feel fairly comfortable. Ly- 

 ing on the respiration apparatus has 

 made my chest and back rather 

 sore. The rectal thermometer does 

 not trouble me.

 night) : 



9 h 15 m p. m. Wrote till 10 h 25 m . 



11 p. m. Retired; did not get to sleep for 

 about half an hour, then slept very 

 soundly. Awoke and looked at my 

 watch at 4 a. m.; slept on till about 

 6"30 m , then lay awake till the signal 

 to rise was given. 

 December 5, 1905: 



7"30 m a. m. Feel very comfortable and 

 contented. Stomach somewhat emp- 

 ty, but not uncomfortable and have 

 no particular desire for food. Feel 

 strong; most of my movements are 

 slow, however, for fear of entang- 

 ling the apparatus attached to me. 



7 b 40 m a. m. Read for about 5 minutes, 

 then wrote a short letter, but took 

 considerable time about it as I was 

 in doubt as to what to say. Am be- 

 ginning to notice everything that 

 passes. Am much entertained with 

 watching the people who pass the 

 window.

 I drank it all. No strange taste. 



9 a. m. Lay down till 11, sleeping a 

 great part of the time.

 than headache, but not exactly 

 either; not serious.

 of which I drank about a third. 

 Feel chilly at times and decidedly 

 unpleasant ever since I got up.

 fortable when lying down. Have a 

 slight feeling of nausea; hungry.
