Mental
Emotional. Great disposition, when alone, to repulsive fantastic imaginations, particularly in regard to persons with whom he stands in near relations, or with whom he is connected; it seems, for example, as though he must get red of all the servants, children must go out of the house, a betrothal must be broken off, a marriage should be dissolved, etc. Aversion to his business. He is more cheerful and vigorous (after eight and following days). Uncommonly gay disposition of the mind, the next morning. Feeling of perfect happiness within and without (after eight hours).

During the fourth week very irritable towards people, even to the greatest hatred, which he does not hesitate to give vent to in words, but as soon as he sees them everything is forgotten, and he has an entirely different opinion of them. This does not arise either from hypocrisy or cowardice, but it is a suddenly altered view; mentally the same feeling which occurred to him physically during coryza (Secale S. 139). Whilst considering what might happen he gets into a most ungovernable anger, but only in his thoughts; several times during the first days. Easily displeased for half a day (after fourteen hours). In the evening he is very discontented; he looks at everything in the worst light; in the morning after a restless night, his temper is very cheerful and joyous. He remembers his experimentation only with horror and aversion, particularly the sensitiveness of the region of the stomach to pressure (after several weeks), in one who has made numerous provings. The least trifle is with him sufficient to show a bad temper in his features and motions, in ten hours; disappears during the next twelve hours. Indifferent, taking no interest in a very sick patient. Intellectual. He has great difficulty in fixing his attention upon anything. A more difficult comprehension of philosophical works; on the other hand all facts appear clearer to him. On making his notes he mistakes right and left, a circumstance that does not easily happen to him (second day). Every morning a peculiar rush of memory, so that a number of symptoms come to him which he had had the day before during the whirl of practice. Though his memory (for symptoms, etc). is good, yet he daily writes December instead of August (second week). Forgetful; he does not recollect sometimes the most common things.
