In a few moments after taking I awoke with an indescribable feeling of uneasiness and most deadly nausea produced by the taste and smell of the Camphor. I could not lie; the thought continually occurred, as in delirium, "I am dead! No, I am not dead ! but indeed I must be dead!" and thus I flew round about myself like a top, with no other feeling than for the strong smell of the Camphor. The external world existed for me no longer. My thoughts were gone ; one single fearful one remained ; I imagined myself transferred to another world ; for me all else was extinguished. I sat up in bed, but all about me had indeed disappeared. I was alone in the great universe, the last of all things. My ideas of the world, God and religion, now seemed to me to have existed only in my imagination ; the earth, upon which yesterday I lived and moved, had run its appointed course, and I was the final and solitary fragment of the whole creation. There was no other feeling in my soul than that of my hopeless, endless damnation. I sank back upon the bed, believing that I was the spirit of evil in a world forsaken of God. Faith and hope were gone. There was here no longer any God, or rather the Infinite himself, like all his works, had ceased to be. My misery was boundless ; time itself was no more; in short, I suffered such fearful anguish as no fancy can comprehend. What soul could paint to itself my everlasting dwelling as the Evil One, alone in a vast universe, without faith or hope, and my heart forever broken by unimagined tortures? I rose suddenly from the bed, rushed to the window, and threw it up. It was a night in September; all nature lay quiet, illuminated by the moon, with the clear stars looking down. The sight increased my despair; poor nature extinguished; the sky transparent and lifeless; the earth was still in the dim, dead light. I could not bear it. The sense of touch was gone, and my eyes protruded from their sockets. For a moment I resolved to throw myself from the window and sweep through the domain of my infernal kingdom, but a weak glimmer of reason held me back. I tried to weep, but my eyes were dry ; my hands could no longer grasp anything, and I felt no moisture in my eyes. I tried to pray, but the words sounded hollow from my chest, like reverberations from a cracked vessel. A fearful terror seized me, and I knew not whither to fly. I cried out aloud, "And so I am indeed dead; that hell I used to think about is no fiction, but a reality which I am doomed to experience forever. And yet I confessed this very morning, and no heavy sin rests upon my conscience And then came doubts about my doctrinal views, for I had never been of strong faith. Thus hopelessly devoted to everlasting damnation I recollected some syrup, a sort of stomachic elixir, which was in my closet, and felt for it in the dark ; but, oh, horror ! my hand no longer perceived resistance, my whole body was insensible and dry as marble, and I was conscious of no internal warmth. In my ever-growing terror I sought to recall sensation, even if it were pain, and tore the skin of my face and hands, but it was useless; I felt no more.

I ran to the mantle-piece and struck a light. I saw it, came to myself, and the thought came over me that after all it might be only a dream

a horrible vision of the night. I left the light burning, again lay down, and took a book, that I might drive away the fearful images ; but scarce was I in bed before they returned, and with them a renewed desire to throw myself from the window. I started up, ran out, and fell prostrate, with a loud shriek for help, not far from the door of a neighbor. Persons came out, and seeing my desperate condition, were about to bring me a cordial, but I could not bear to be alone. Fearing some new misfortune, I seized my neighbor and held him fast, that he might not leave me. They gave me a few swallows of Moldavia water, which were followed by nausea and efforts to vomit. Next day they told me they could not stay in my room for the smell of camphor; on this account they brought me down stairs into the street, that I might breathe the fresh air, while they were making some tea for me. The sight of the sky, the pale moonlight, renewed my torturing fancies. I pressed close to my neighbor, and implored him to talk to me, that I might be freed from them, but terrified at my terror, he could find no topic for conversation. We went upstairs again, and tea was given me to drink. It tasted cold, though the woman next day assured me it was fairly boiling. Violent vomiting then came on, without any relief to my mania; they read to me, but I could not follow the train of ideas; my own thoughts absorbed me. After the vomiting I began to feel a little cold ; I became more quiet, was put to bed and fell asleep. Next morning I visited again the scene of my night visions, and attempted to drive away my morbid impressions by force of will. I went to my business in town, but the attacks returned. Again I felt my sense of touch disappear ; my eyes started out of their sockets, convulsive movements attacked my head, and I could not get warm. A physician prescribed some quieting mixture. In the evening I attended the theatre ; but scarce could the excitement of the crowd, the music, and the play beguile ray thoughts.

What I have related took place, not in a half-waking state, but clear ami distinct, with full conviction of their reality, and so vividly that I perfectly recollect the smallest incident. I suffered all, not only in a higher degree than I can express, but also in an inconceivably longer duration. As I lay stretched on my couch, as the evil demon, and suffered all the anguish of a condemned and God-forsaken soul, the time seemed an eternity, and the most painful thought was that I was forever deprived of the Divine protection, and of every consolation and every hope. Nothing remained to me but the conviction of my everlasting damnation.

Since that time I have been subject to these attacks of terror at night, when I am alone. I feel a tendency to self-contemplation ; outer things vanish, and I behold myself in spirit freed from matter. I am constrained to this agonizing self-contemplation, in spite of every effort of the will, and every opposition which my thoughts can make. In consequence my nervous irritability is greatly increased, and I sleep but little and very restlessly, which is quite the reverse of my former habit. The pollutions have much diminished in frequency, but I often wake terrified by nightmare; I shriek and call for help, because it seems that a murderer stands at my bedside. I dare not drink either tea or coffee', lest the phantasms of that fatal night return ; I cannot then sleep at all. My temper is irritable and peevish, with an inclination to despair aud suicide. I am afraid to go to sleep ; and when I think it near it suddenly flies from me, my eyes open wide, and I fall into self-contemplation and mystical and dismal trains of thought. The source of my annoyance is not the presentation of images, but of feelings simply, without any mixture of the visible ; it is my personal self, my unembodied spirit. By day I am quite quiet; night and solitude are my terrors. I still have faith and reason enough left to see in all this nothing but the phenomena of a morbid state

Footnotes p. 424

† During unconsciousness. See S. 61.

† Quoted from authors only to question it. X The effects of a large dose given to a child, on account of which the senses vanished ; all parts of the body became deadly cold, etc. — H.

† The vertigo at first, and loss of consciousness, together with general coldness of the body, seem to he the primary action of a large dose of camphor, and point to a diminished afflux of blood from the heart to the distant portions of the body ; while the rush of blood to the head, heat in the head, etc., are the reaction of vitality, just as much as the previous opposite condition is the supposed primary action. So slight inflammation, which appears suddenly, may be removed by the palliative, cooling effects of the primary action of camphor taken internally ; but long-continued inflammations cannot be so removed. The continued or even frequently repeated use of camphor is not seldom followed by obstinate inflammation of the eyes, which is persistent, as one of the secondary or reactionary conditions of the organism. Although I cannot deny that an external application of camphor acts homceopathically in acute cases of inflammation of the eyes, yet I myself do not approve of it, since judging by experience, t never treat such cases by external applications. — H.

† Just before losing consciousness. J From several grains of Camphor injected into the median veins.

† Not found.

† Corrected.

† The want of sexual desire, erections, and emissions are, as we see from these observations, only the primary action of camphor, hence it acts only as a palliative, if one prescribes for excessive sexual desire, erections, and frequent emissions, which have already lasted a long time; there then follows an increase of the disease on account of the reactionary effect of the organism. — H. 1 From gr. xl, in enema.

† From gr. xl. J The large doses are 40 to 60 grs. $ After recovering from loss of consciousness. II Not found.

† In Alexander's case during loss of consciousness. J Corrected.

† From the external application of camphor.

† From sixty grains given for colic; the pain disappeared, but this condition supervened. On recovering from it she was well.
