During and after the proving, his disposition much more quiet; for generally he is much disposed to fly into a passion. Her disposition is particularly quiet, being otherwise very lively, anxious and full of care. He forgets and neglects much; also the writing down, and even the observing of the symptoms; it is all too much trouble to him; when thinking of the one, or of any business, he forgets everything else, and on account of he neglects much that is necessary.
Head, face, and ears
Vertigo. The next morning while dressing, a very violent attack of vertigo, which became much worse after walking out; he could hardly stand; he was compelled to lie down and to remain at home several days; the vertigo caused nausea; after eating rice he was obliged to vomit; at every motion while he was lying down, even when he turned his head, still more on sitting up, the vertigo returned; at the same time the pulse was more frequent; he had previously had similar attacks, also a severe one after Glonoin; on other occasions Aconite had always helped him; this time it did not, nor did Glonoin nor вelladonna; it gradually passed away after three or four days. A peculiar kind of vertigo every evening while getting asleep, about half an hour after going to bed, a sensation as if he were wafted and drawn forth very quickly in the direction of his legs; he was always weakened by it; it never returned later in the night; on the contrary, one night when he had gone to bed earlier than usual, about 8.30 , the sensation appeared in like manner, about half an hour after he had lain down, and when he was first getting asleep; this vertigo kept coming for eight or nine days; was interrupted at one time by two days of quiet sleep, returned, and ceased altogether. General Head. When working quietly (sitting with the head bent forward), without any provocation whatever, a sudden rush of blood towards the head, with perceptible reddening of the face, recovering irregularly, but almost daily twice, now in the morning, now in the afternoon; this rush of blood recurred for about fourteen days.

Headache internally in the left sinciput, in a small spot; it presses there like a hazelnut (first night), continuing slightly through the morning (second day). About 10 p.m, a pain above the left eye; it came suddenly and went as quickly; it seemed to have been caused by a sudden rush of blood thither; as it was passing off the pain was accompanied by a sensation not easy to describe, along the left side of the neck, as if the blood there had suddenly been retained in one of the large veins, or had streamed backwards; next followed a feeling in the stomach like weakness or faintness, and a pain in the left chest (tenth day). Some pain above the left eye after lying down (seventeenth day); now and then pain over the left eye (eighteenth day).

Appetite and food preferences
Appetite and Thirst. During the whole time, a good appetite and a disposition to drink a glass of beer oftener than common, which always tasted good; both later ceased. 11.30 , while going to sleep, sudden desire for apples, which makes him wide a wake again (thirteenth day). No desire to smoke (first evening). Eructations. Eructations tasting of the food. Heartburn.

Stomach. Feels empty and week in the stomach, yet without appetite. A feeling in the stomach like weakness or faintness (tenth day). The disposition to become easily faint in the region of the stomach often recurred. In the forenoon, in school, she had always a fullness and oppression in the epigastrium and was obliged to loosen her clothes, ate much less; was obliged to lie down after eating, which, however, gave no relief; the oppression became, indeed, rather worse; the left thigh upon which she lay became numb and her feet cold; at last she took Nux vomica, lay down again and then slept better (after four weeks). Singular contracting sensation in the epigastrium, as if the parts were folded together; when this sensation passed away, there remained a pain and soreness in the left side.
Urogenital system
Pain and sensation of soreness began after some time in the region of the kidneys; this extended downwards and over towards the abdomen, with a pressing-down, as if by a weight, which increased during the whole night; in the morning the kidney pain was still worse, especially the sensation of soreness. At the close of urinating, burning in the orifice of the urethra. Very frequent urging to pass water, and a very unpleasant sensation if she cannot yield to the urging (second day); sudden cold weather had formerly a similar effect upon her, but to a far less degree. Urine transparent, dark, easily evacuated, without pain. Urine acid, rather small in quantity (17.5 fluid ounces in twenty-four hours), deep red, sp. gr. 1030 (eighteenth day). The urine was analyzed several times during the proving, but no remarkable peculiarity was observed, except the great abundance of the coloring matter, hydrochloric acid developing a very striking change of color. The examination to-day gave: urine acid; high- colored; sp. gr. 1030; 22.5 fluid ounces in twenty-four hours. Water. 930.10 Urea. 30.06 Uric acid. 80 Fixed salts. 19.40 Organic matters, etc. 19.64 Solids. 69.90 1000.00 (twentieth day).
Sexual organs.
Male. He had erections all night, a thing which had never before happened to him. For one week a much more excited and powerful sexual instinct, but after that time this appeared to be entirely extinct; without any want of capability thereto, he renounces the indulgence for weeks without missing it. Sexual desire and power increased, for last week (thirteenth day). Female. Menses appeared in the afternoon, one day too early (third day); the next menstrual period came three days too early; the first day the usual quantity, later less than usual.

Chest organs
A sensation between roughness and pressure in the region of the larynx, which generally provokes a cough, passes gradually into a pure tickling (first day). Voice. Hoarseness with the coryza (seventh day). Hoarseness early in the morning, after rising (twentieth day). сough and Expectoration. A cough which often came on by day or night in slight attacks, with a wheezing in the larynx without becoming loose, especially after smoking, drinking, and much walking, or after going upstairs, came on again, and always towards morning, and with much violence; after a few days it became loose and then ceased; after taking cold it came again, and then ceased permanently, so that even taking fresh colds did not bring it on again. сough and pressure in the middle of the chest, under the sternum (seventh day). Expectorates white mucus, which is easily discharged. Respiration. Slight feeling of suffocation in the upper part of the throat.
Chest.
Feeling as if some fluid wanted to discharge itself (pressing down wards) in the middle lobe of right lung for four or five hours, in the afternoon (second day). вubbling in the middle lobe of the right lung for a few minutes, on three or four occasions, chiefly in afternoon (from ninth to thirteenth days). Pain in the clavicle. Slight stitches in the chest, transient, more to the left side (first day). Some pain in the middle of the sternum. Throughout the whole day, constant pain in the chest, anteriorly in the middle, sometimes extending backwards between the shoulders, and a dull unpleasant feeling in the head, especially above the eyes (tenth day). The pains change their locality more frequently this morning than yesterday; mostly on the left side of the chest, only now and then in the right chest and over the right eye; once or twice in the right shin (eleventh day). Stitching pains lasting from three to ten minutes, above the fifth rib, on the left side (first day). Some pressure in the left chest, above the first rib. Drawing, cutting pain around and in the left nipple, extending towards the scapula (first day). When lying on the left side, a throbbing sensation on the right side under the ribs, somewhat towards the epigastrium, as from wind balls, undulatory; in the morning it is as if, when lying on the right side, wind had accumulated in the corresponding spot on the left side; flatus does not pass off so freely in the morning as is customary, and the hitherto rather diarrhoeic stool intermits; latterly the flatus become stinking.

Sensation of numbness in the nape and occiput. When lying on the left ear, a kind of sharp pressing pain from the neck into the left ear. вack. Whenever she has no pain there is a sensation of weakness in the back, the whole day (ninth day). The pains in the back and chest are quite unusual; they were so continuous and so violent that the prover was compelled, by reason of them, to remain at home in the afternoon (eleventh day). Dorsal. During the second month of the proving, the spine, from the last cervical to about the fifth dorsal vertebra, became very sensitive, and the seat of a peculiar sense of irritation, which made the prover dread having the part touched or even approached; this dread was disproportion ed to the actual sensibility of the part when pressed or rudely touched, for this sensibility was not really very great; from the vertebrae above mentioned, a peculiar irritation seemed to radiate upwards into the neck outwards into the shoulder, and forwards through the thorax to the sternum; the distress caused by this sensation was aggravated by fatigue, but only partially relieved by repose; it was great and very annoy-ing, and lasted, as I remember, nearly two months. Drawing and dull pressure at the right scapula; soon afterwards also upon the left (first day). Dull pain in the middle of the back between the shoulders. Sacral. Pain in the back at the upper end of the sacrum, which extended upward (eighth day). Pain in the sacrum, worse on stooping or when rising from a sitting or recumbent posture; the pain passes down in the right thigh in the direction of the sciatic nerve; it is therefore, almost impossible for him to press when at stool; the pain in the sacrum and in the sacral ligaments was sometimes, when moving, like a stab with a knife. Early in the morning painful pressure or pain, as if beaten in the os sacrum, worse when stooping, but not ceasing on getting up again; it extends after a time into the renal region, abating by walking in the open air, but returning after a short time when sitting (fourth day). The pain in the sacrum begins again when standing in a stooping posture; is better when walking; worse when lying on the back; but when lying on the left side, it is worse towards the right (fifth day). The pressing, across the sacrum comes again immediately on stooping, and becomes almost intolerable when the stooping posture is persisted in; the pains in the sacrum and leg cease by motion in the open air; increased when pressing at stool; also, when coughing and laughing, the pain then extends from the sacral plexus through the large foramen ischiaticum, along the great sciatic nerve down into the thigh; worse on the right side (sixth day). On pressing to stool, on coughing and on laughing, aggravation of the pain in the sacrum, extending into the right thigh (eighth day).
Chest.
Feeling as if some fluid wanted to discharge itself (pressing down wards) in the middle lobe of right lung for four or five hours, in the afternoon (second day). вubbling in the middle lobe of the right lung for a few minutes, on three or four occasions, chiefly in afternoon (from ninth to thirteenth days). Pain in the clavicle. Slight stitches in the chest, transient, more to the left side (first day). Some pain in the middle of the sternum. Throughout the whole day, constant pain in the chest, anteriorly in the middle, sometimes extending backwards between the shoulders, and a dull unpleasant feeling in the head, especially above the eyes (tenth day). The pains change their locality more frequently this morning than yesterday; mostly on the left side of the chest, only now and then in the right chest and over the right eye; once or twice in the right shin (eleventh day).

Sensation of numbness in the nape and occiput. When lying on the left ear, a kind of sharp pressing pain from the neck into the left ear. вack. Whenever she has no pain there is a sensation of weakness in the back, the whole day (ninth day).
