At 5 P.M. a feeling of fulness in right temple and superior maxillary bone; also slight nausea, accompanied with shivering and chilliness, such as frequently precede or accompany nausea; 5.20, experienced occasional attacks of dizziness, with fulness of the head ; 5.45, felt weak ; arms felt as if trembling ; 6.30, still felt weak, with a sense of emptiness in the stomach ; 7 P.M., ate a light supper, which did not remove the weakness, although the feeling of emptiness was relieved. Had a pressive pain in both temples, which lasted until 9 oclock ; 7.30, felt as if my nerves were all trembling ; 9.15, had a slight pain in left superior maxillary bone, followed by a feeling of pressure, which continued but a minute or two ; 9.20, aching in the right superior maxillary, with a sense of pressure iu both bones ; also slight pain in the masseter muscles. Restless sleep after midnight. Frequently disturbed sleep, with dreams of quarrelling.
