Pupils not contracted. 



Hefore this there have been stnipples. apparently semi^oDvulsiro nr.d 



contracted pupils. Now a true convul.^ion, fullowed by uiicon>< nus-

There have been repeated ronvulsions, during which pnpils would dilate some, alt''"''r'> 

 the eye was in the full blaze of sunlight. Almost cnnstont convnlsire trrr
