Otv^ji Case of Hydrophobia. 123 



September 14th, in the evening, he had some words 

 wiih a person, who abused him, and greatly provoked 

 him to anger. After this, he drank a gill of rye- whis- 

 key, took no supper this evening, and had a restless 

 night. 



15th, He attended to his work as usual, but com- 

 plained, that his appetite was not good. On the 16th, 

 he went to his work, but said he did not feel well, and 

 had no appetite. In the evening, he complained of a 

 pain in his left arm, extending from the wrist to the 

 shoulder. Passed a restless night. On the morning 

 of the 17th, he went to work, which, however, he was 

 obliged to relinquish, on account of the pain of his 

 arm. During this day, he ate and drank but very lit- 

 tle ; and, in the night, he complained greatly of his 

 arm, and of giddiness : but he had no headach. He 

 was very restless, had cold sweats on his hands and 

 face, but was not thirsty. On the 18th, he took half 

 a cup of coffee, for his breakfast, and did not complain 

 of any difficulty in swallowing it. This morning, 

 about 10 o'clock, I saw him for the first time. 



He now complained of great pain in his left arm and 

 shoulder; of a numbness in his hand and fuigers; of 

 giddiness ; of sickness at stomach; and of a bad breath. 

 , His tongue was white, his pulse small. No thirst. 

 Skin cool : a cold sweat on his hands, arms, and face. 

 He had taken no medicine since he first complained of 

 indisposition.
