OBSERVATIONS ON THE CUICHUNCHULLI. 129 
ceding days. — The mobility and sensibility of the limbs was 
more evident. 
24M. He took a dose of forty grains as before. This day 
was a very abundant spitting; the urine and sweat greater 
than the day before, and the ulcers almost healed. He had 
besides two large stools. 
25th. The same prescription with the same results. 
26th. The same dose and the same effects, except that the 
spitting was less. The ulcers were fomented with a decoction 
of the residue of the remedy, after sifting the powder. 
21th. None of the Cuichunchulli given. The urine was ex- 
cessively abundant, and he had to pass it twenty-five times, 
in consequence of which he felt an acute pain about the pubis, 
which however went off without any medical aid or medicine. 
The ulcers were reduced, that of the leg to the diameter of a 
half dollar, while those of the hands were completely cicatrized. 
The issues went on suppurating copiously; the powers of 
moving the limbs, and of sensation in them augmented. 
28th. The remedy was likewise suspended this day; the 
urine and sweat beyond the natural quantity. 
29th. Two scruples of the plant were given. There was 
more of urine and of sweat than the preceding day, and there 
was again much spitting of saliva. The colour of the face has 
been during the last days gradually, yet sensibly restored to 
its natural hue. 
30th. The plant was not administered this day, because the 
portion of it that had been spared to this individual was now 
consumed. The good effects that had been observed for seve- 
ral days past began to diminish; the saliva was in its natural 
quantity. 
The said Puche continued as above until the 2d of Novem- 
ber, when all his " natural" functions appeared to be in the 
same state as before the exhibition of the Cuichunchulli, but 
the sensibility and mobility acquired during its use were 
retained, without tubercles in the face or ears. The ulcer of 
the leg had diminished to the size of a peseta, (about the size 
of a shilling;) the joints of the fingers having some motion in 
vol. — no. u. 17
