At 9 p.m., after a hard day’s work accomplished by an effort, I had a horrible opi)pressive headache, felt dizzy, faint, and nauseated (second day)

Urinary Organs p. 578

Was obliged to void water very frequently (fourth day)

Chest p. 578

Before 10 p.m., had a severe pain apparently in right lung, with occasionally a pain in left hip, with twitching or jactitation of the muscles (second day)

Awoke after sle^)ing badly, with a great deal of soreness in my chest internally, with an oppression as of a great weight. Through the day I had much difficulty in breathing, and every respiration was labored, with a continued fulness of the chest and head (third day). Awoke with a spasmodic cough, and yet with the same oppression and spasmodic breathing and fulness of the chest. Repeatedly examined my clothing to see if it did not oppress me; feared that I had taken cold and would have pneumonia. Was extremely nervous, and during the day the severe, oppressive, heavy, and throbbing headache returned, so much so, I feared some of the bloodvessels would give way and some lesion of the brain would occur. Was easiest when perfectly quiet. Towards night was sure I had internal haemorrhage from the severe congestion and fulness (fourth day). Had a horribly distressing cough, which gave me a great deal of anxiety. Very easily wearied, with inability to get air enough ; the head was better. Towards night a slight expectoration took place, which gave me some little relief, but it was detached with great difficulty. Was obliged to give up business, go home, and all night had hot cloths ap])lied to my chest to give relief. Was delirious part of the night, and talked almost constantly (fifth day). The next day was unable to attend to my business, but, finally recovered in a few days
