Moaning in the sleep, about 3 A.M.,1.
(He makes motions with his mouth in his sleep as if he were chewing)
Towards evening while asleep she drew her mouth back and forth, opened the eyes, distorted them, and talked irrationally, as if she were wide awake; she spoke distinctly, but hastily, as if she fancied that many other persons were about her; looked freely about, talked with absent children, and desired to go home
The sleep was very remarkable ; he seemed conscious that he was sleeping; consciousness was apparently emancipated from the realm of sleep, which overpowered the other senses (analogous to somnambulism ?) ; this condition caused him the more anguish, since consciousness became weaker, and at last was entirely lost as in faintness ; from this anguish arose an internal cramp, which caused a return to complete consciousness, which had the effect of making him wide awake; after waking, the arm upon which he was lying was senseless and stiff, which, however, soon disappeared (second night)

She rose at night from her bed in her dream, and went to the door as if she would go out
Awakened in the night by shouts and laughter of students living with me ; I found myself out of my bed, in the opposite comer of the room, lying upon the bed covers spread upon the floor, without knowing how I got there ; it must have happened in deep sleep, from which I was only aroused sufficiently to get back to bed without being able to give connected answers to questions put to me. In the morning I ascertained that for several nights while asleep I had disturbed others by cries and groans without being able myself to remember more than heavy dreams. My sleep for about three weeks had been unusually sound ; though I had always enjoyed sound sleep, yet I was usually awakened by every slight noise in my room, while lately I had not been conscious of persons entering my room, and could be aroused from sleep only by shaking. I only knew that during this time I tossed about restlessly in my sleep, because I had been conscious of knocking against the wall several times in a not very gentle manner (thirty-third night)

Footnotes p. 253
† Sensation of pressing asunder accompanied that of pressing together (162. 127, 140, 148, 144) almost always, since it is felt by the brain inclosed in the unyielding skull ; the organic senses cannot distinguish whether tin- painfulness arises from its great distension, or from the resistance of the skull, and hence either may cause the sensation. J Compare ■'•'>'.
† Almost always the first symptom in the proving of this drug. Wl. j This pniver suffered from the same pain two years previously in the summer ; after several days and several ineffectual remedies, it was cured within an hour by Bryonia.
† Compare 174, 176, H.
† There are several symptoms of Bryonia which oblige one to lie down (compare 688, 1273, 1626), or to sit down (736). and several which are increased by walking and standing (as 848), baton the contrary, there is a secondary action, in which the symptoms are relieved by motion, and when quiet, lying, or sitting, cannot be endured, which is much more common in Bryonia.
† He had taken chocolate for breakfast ; afterward, vomiting very difficult, of only saffron -yellow, tough, bitter fluid. — Watzke.
† The patient frequently suffered from a similar wind colic of a less severe character,21.
† More frequent primary action of Bryonia is retention of stool; its secondary action, looseness of the bowels, is more rare ; when the other symptoms correspond, it permanently cures constipation, which but few remedies besides Nux vomica and Opium can do — H. j These symptoms were the more noticeable, since, for some two months, the stools had been irregular, and seldom, so that he scarcely had an evacuation for two days.
† From the body getting cool, while eating or soon after eating, or from taking cold water after eating soup, or after eating stewed fruit ; or from sudden change of temperature while driving, from cold to warm or viceversa; sudden severe griping in abdomen, followed by copious pasty evacuations of a dark greenish-black color, and a very offensive cheesy odor, followed by great prostration ; the natural course of the attack extending over twenty-four hours, with five or six stools, and ending in a dysenteric diarrhoea; arrested in fifteen minutes by Bryonia (the potency apparently a matter of indifference, the 6th, 30th, 200th, and 50th m., having been equally efficacious). An observation many times repeated on three patients, whose habit was constipated. — C. D.
† This is the primary action ; Bryonia may be therefore effectual for meteor^ rhagia. — H.
† Apparently caused by a partial spasmodic constriction of a portion of the intestines distended by gas. This sensation was frequently observed during the proving and for a long time afterward, but never before.
† I hesitated to ascribe this catarrhal fever to the action of Bryonia, because sometimes after taking cold I was subject to a catarrhal angina, especially in c<>ld, wet weather; in this case I had, however, taken no cold, the weather was fine and
