Warm fomentations and Tinct. Arnica lotions were applied 
to the swellings. 
On Monday, loth, at 6 a.m., the draught, ordered last night, 
was repeated. At 7 a.m. I saw my patient. He was still 
bleeding from legs and nostrils, and the swellings increased; 
he eats very little; the pulse and breathing were much the 
same as yesterday, the former very feeble. I ordered glysters 
of soap and water to be thrown up, changed the fomentations 
from warm to cold water, and sent the following draught to 
be given at 10 a.m.:
