The T. n pi i has been gradually lowered to 100 drops j — -it 

 is directed to be diminished five drops, o. n. 



18th day.— r-A woke last night by biting his tongue. The 

 eruption before mentioned is now disappearing ; — -says he is 

 much better. 



19th day. — Has had no spasm during the last 24 hours— 

 P. 75. T. opii gradually brought down to 80 drops. 



20th dav.— Opens his mouth much easier than hitherto — ■ 

 very slight spasms occasionally in the night. 



21st day. — -Eruption has now disappeared.— ^Generally con- 

 sidered as out of danger. 



22d day. — Spasms in the left arm and thigh in the course 

 of the preceding night, and also of the tongue and muscles 

 of the jaws. 



24th dav. — Moves his neck much more easily than he 

 has ever yet done ;. and this day, for the first time, he, got 

 up from bed, was dressed, and ate his dinner in that situation. 



26th day. — The upper part of the right sterno-mastoid very 

 hard to the touch. The muscles in general soft; — takes now 

 onlv TO drops tinct. opii, 



It appears that the muscles of the tongue and jaws are 

 almost the only parts that have now for some time been iu 

 any considerable degree affected ; it appears also that the 

 integuments of that neighbourhood are alone subject to 

 sweating, which has ceased from the other parts in propor- 

 tion as the spasms have subsided. 



In regard to the effect of the cold bath : its regular effect 

 seems,to be that of producing sleep and a great degree of 

 perspiration. 



29th day. — Spasm of the tongue more frequent than fo? 

 some preceding nights. 



30th day-' — Being how able to open his mouth with con- 

 siderable freedom, complaining only of slight stiffness in the 

 sterno-mastoid muscles, and being able to walk with little 

 inconvenience, it was thought proper to relax in his mode of 

 treatment.
