The pulse 40, feeble, but no fluttering. The re- 
spirations 50. 
The pulse more accelerated, and the respirations 48. 
He fell. 
The pupils dilated — the tail still trembling. 
Pulse 52. Respirations 44. He has for a short 
time been constantly drawing up his hind leg 
convulsively. 
Both the pulse and the respirations 50. The 
pulse is full and strong. There is a tetanic 
spasm of the whole body. The jaw as firmly 
fixed as ever. 
Feeble tetanic spasms continue. The pulse 48, 
strong as before. The respirations have risen 
to 63. 
Respirations 70. 
The respirations have sunk to 12 per minute. 
The eyelids are contracting violently — also spas- 
modic twitchings of the nostrils — less spasm of 
the jaw. The pulse 40, intermittent, yet full 
and strong. 
The pulse 32, and intermittent. The respiration 
quicker — more heaving of the flanks — twitch- 
ings of the face. 
The respirations 20, long and deep. The pulse 
28. Less sensibility of the whole surface. 
The masseter muscle flaccid. 
The respiration strangely increased — absolutely 
60. The pulse 40, full and strong. 
Decidedly better — the pulse fuller — the respira- 
tions fewer, although still too quick — the retina 
now quite sensible to the impression of sur- 
rounding objects — the masseter muscle still re- 
laxed. 
The respirations have again quickened — the jaw 
is almost set, and the sphincter ani is violently 
contracted. 
A violent and universal tetanic spasm. 
The pulse is 44, and the respirations no fewer 
than 65. Another point armed with the wou- 
rali poison was introduced at the inside of the 
thigh. 
The pulse is 42, but the respirations are dread- 
ful — they are no fewer than 76. 
Another violent and universal tetanic spasm. The 
pulse is 38, and the respiration is most laborious.
