Emotional, Mental exaltation, lasting twelve hours, with almost uninterrupted delirium

At times the child became suddenly excited, and could scarcely be quieted ; with a wild look

Intoxication'^.f

Mental derangement, with occasional altercations,®hJ

He became excited, and incoherent in his speech, wandered purposelessly about the house, muttering and touching things, as though suspicious of those about him (three hours) ; he became delirious, saw policemen coming into the house; heard them speaking about him in the hall; his hands were constantly in motion, seemingly trying to rub his face or brush something away ; was very irritable ; he did not attempt to answer any questions, hut occasionally muttered a few disjointed words (about five hours after first dose),®^.

Wild delirium

He is delirious, as in violent fever,*®. State of delirium bordering on insanity (in two) ; so violent that it required six persons to hold (in the third), (after tvvo Busy delirium, with constant muttering or talking, and meddling with the hands (after one hour)

Delirious, but easily controlled; could understand questions when asked, and would answer yes or no, at 2 p.m. ; delirious most of the time, would answer and seem to know for a moment, and then would commence his strange actions; ^working and clutching of the hands, wotdd strike his attendants; his movements there very quick; it was with difficidt that they could hold him on their laps; at 4 p.m., greatly excited, talking about everything, cannot fix his attention upon anything, cannot be held ; he is now on the floor watched by those in attendance; *he wants to fight, he closes his hands and strikes at his attendants, also attempts to bite; at intervals he would sing, and at times would hurst out laughing; when anything is offered him he clinches hold of it with both hands greedily; the slightest opposition excites him, at 8 p.m ; it was after 3 a.m., before he became quiet and disposed to rest

Singular union of delirium and coma, usually termed typhomania ; one of them was exceedingly delirious, and attempted to escape

* At times the child made violent exertions to get oid of bed, tried to bite, and raged, after which she began to weep aloud ; while lying she turned the head right and left, at times raised it up, and snapped as if she would take hold of something

Momentary listening to imaginary sounds, and eager clutching at visionary phantoms

The people in the room seemed to assume grotesque appearances; this condition lasted half an hour, and was succeeded by noisy and then by quiet delirium; several hours later she was sitting in the corner of the room, muttering to herself, and rocking her body to and fro; now catching at the air, or at some imaginary appearance, then pxdlinq the bed-clothes aboxd,Q.x\d answering either not at all or incorrectly

In his confused fancy he thinks men are swine

Occasional catching at surrounding objects

* Carphologia

* Carphologia and muttering

[Laughable, solemn actions mingled in the raving, in an improper dress],®'®.§

In his delirium he acts as though he were frightening away peacocks with his hands

In his raving he acts as though he were cracking nuts

He embraces the stove, and wishes to climb upon it as on a tree

* [He strips himself naked],®®. (Case 15.)

He dances

Danced, ran about the room and attempted to take hold of different objects without being able to grasp them ; she stared vacantly about her, and did not hear or reply to any questions; it required several men to hold her in bed (in the one who had eaten the least)

Laughed and said he was exceedingly well

Joined the women in laughter

She began to laugh, dance, run around the room and grasp at things, which usually she never touched ; she stared at the bystanders, heard nothing, and answered no questions; several men were unable to make her drink or lie down; with pale face, rapid pulse, free respiration, dilated pupils, and great injection of the capillaries of the eye; this madness lasted till the next day, with complete sleeplessness ; the vertigo, stupefaction, and incoherent ideas lasted for several days,®®._ "^Frequent breaking oxd into a loud laugh

[Almost uninterrupted loud laughter, previous to the appearance of menstruation],®®. (Case 39.)

They laughed aloud because all persons seemed ridiculous; this lively mood continued for half an hour, with violent gesticulations, and was followed by quiet delirium ; the old woman talked of the future, swayed the body back and forth, groped in the air as after objects, picked at the bed, and either did not answer at all or in a disconnected manner

* Foolish laughter

Very merry mood, completely delirious; singing and imitating with her hands the occupation of spinning,™.

* He sings amorous and i^scene so/iys

* He talks more than usual, and more animatedly and hurriedly

Great mental vivacity, such as he had not exhibited for years, with perpetual talking during twentyfour hours, night and day. During the whole of the night he engaged the nurse’s attention and interest by recounting the adventures of a friend in the Peninsular campaign. Throughout the next day he was intent upon taking a journey, but if any incident in his past life were suggested, he entered minutely into every particular, talking incessantly, with unwonted rapidity and emphasis. He used the simplest and most descriptive language, and he was quite independent of conversation, for it was necessary, in order to avoid any increase of excitement, to treat him with silence. Once a subject was named, no matter whether the attendant circumstances occurred the previous day or fifty years ago, it immediately engaged his attention until some incidental remark or an allusion suggested other ideas. If a subject with which he was not wholly familiar happened to be mentioned, he spoke of it rapidly and coherently as far as his knowledge extended, but then became confused, incoherent, and a little irritable and impatient. The connecting links in a particular train of thought were weakened and occasionally broken by illusions and delusions. The sight of a white napkin suggested, through milk, his former breakfasts in India; the milking of the cow at the door of the house; the appearance of the frothed milk in the silver basin; the tea freshly imported from China. His white handkerchief lying crumpled on the dark sofa-cover recalled the ivory nut, and he entered into a minute and faithful description, not only of this plant, its habits and fruit, but the characters of several other tropical vegetables. Then he wandered into the country, and suddenly pulling up a leg, exclaimed, “Take care; give me your hand; that is a very deep step The next minute he introduced himself, with a loud voice, in a friend’s house at Torquay, and, while engaged in imaginary conversation, suddenly raised the eyelids, and looking across the empty space in the direction of the bare wall said, with much emphasis That’s a fine dahlia!” A few minutes afterwards he was engaged in Bristol. Several times he directed the carriage to be sent for, and supposing that it was at the door, made attempts to rise from his couch

* Dread of water

On being aroused, he muttered and became irritable ; on attempting to make him drink, he Resented it violently, and soon fell into a state of hallucination, in which his countenance assumed a menacing aspect, and he called on various absent persons by name, with whom he imagined himself to be in debate

The true history of this fearful disease exhibits several varieties in men, for each of which must be given an exactly appropriate remedy ; among these Hyoscyamus is not the last. For other oases Stramonium or Belladonna is the exact homoeopathic remedy according to the character of the attack. Belladonna has already made some complete cures, and it would have made more if other substances had not been combined with it impairing its power, and especially if it had not been given in such excessive doses, and thus at times the patient murdered by the remedy. Large doses of drugs which are homceopathic to a disease are far more injurious than others which have no similarity, or which have an opposite [antipathic] relation to the disease. Iu homoeopathic practice, when the totality of the symptoms of a disease is similar to the symptoms of the remedy, it is certainly a crime to give doses that are not very small, indeed, as small as possible ; if, under such circumstances, doses are given of the size administered in the old blundering way, they act as real poisons and arc murderous. This 1 declare, convinced by a thousandfold experience, universally true of the exhibition of homoeopathic remedies in general, and especially when the disease is acute, but more particularly true of the use of Belladonna, Stramonium, and Hyoscyamus in hydrophobia, each according to its
