Mental
Mind.
Emotional.
Very excited and peevish, and often as if beside himself about trifles, with flushes of heat all over. Self-satisfied, very talkative, and uncommonly good-humored. Weeping, timorous, despairing mood. His nerves are so much affected that the sorrows of others cause him to weep easily. Mood very much depressed, like an excessive home-sickness; at last violent weeping (2nd day), (after 4 glasses). Great dejection of spirits; without cause he is very unusually sulky. Painful dejection, with foul stomach. Gloomy and self-absorbed. Unpleasant mood in the afternoon, without cause for sadness. Discouraged and anxious in the discharge of his domestic duties. Attacks of anxiety.
Constrictive anxiety when in the room; somewhat better in the open air. Faint-hearted, with frequent yawning, at 9 a. m. (13th day). Quiet ill-humor, and indisposed to speak. In the morning, on rising, irritable and out of humor, and peevish the whole day.
Very much disposed to take everything in bad part and to be critical (especially after 3 weeks and later). Is easily vexed about things which, when well, would have made him laugh, together with a dull pressure in the right side of the lower abdomen, below the liver, where, when bathing, he frequently noticed a loose swelling (in the coecum), (after 4 weeks).
Variable mood. Intellectual. Difficult thinking. Unfitness to think, and for every, even the slightest mental occupation; cannot find words to express himself correctly. Much effort in employing his mind. Indisposition to read, and to all exertion of mind; he took up now this book, now that, but could read nothing. Foolish condition, as if stupid, with dull pressing pain in forehead, at times also with buzzing and roaring in the ears.
Uncommon absence of mind and confusion of speech. Uncommonly absent- minded; forgets names. Heedlessness, so that at times he expresses himself only with great exertion, and in writing, often omits letters.

Eye.
Weakness of the eyes, especially on writing and long-continued reading. Heat streams from the eyes, with burning and pressing in them, and an appearance of black spots swimming about. (70) вurning and pressing, especially around the eye, but also in the ball itself;as from sand, or as when none looks into the sun, with increased secretion from the Meibomian glands. Pressing pain in the eyes, as if the eyes were being pressed downward from above, and were too large, and did not have sufficient room in the orbits. Pressure and pain in the eyes; they become cloudy, as if a veil were before them. Orbit. Violent pressing pain above the orbits, spreading below or toward the temples. Slight ticking in the right supraorbital nerve and in the whole right upper lid; at the same time twitching in the inner angle of the eye. Very sensitive, dull stitches in the upper margin of the left orbit (19th day). Lids. Lids at times somewhat oedematous, swollen, and in the morning agglutinated with mucus.

Obliquely above the right eye, from the right angle to the left, a dark stripe, which impairs the vision; it is momentary, especially after winking, when walking in the open air, for several days (3rd week).
