 Delirium. Symptoms of delirium. Delirium with great ecstasy; the patient laughed incessantly, talked constantly in rhyme, showed us that he felt extraordinarily well. Sensation as if impelled by some uncontrollable power to commit suicide, to jump out of the window, to put her baby in the boiler with the clothes, to cut its throat while cutting bread, to throw it downstairs (in a woman who kept a pot of tea boiling on the stove and drank several bowlfuls every day; cured with Thea cm., Fincke).
 Temporary exaltation of mind; has greater confidence in himself (after Thein, 14 grains). An exciting, and subsequently a debilitating, influence upon the nervous system in general and the lumbar portion of the spinal marrow.

After an hour, there succeeds to these agreeable sensation general nervous troubles, such as yawning, irritability, pains in the epigastrium, palpitation of the heart, trembling of the limbs, and general sadness. With these symptoms, there is associated a distressing and insupportable insomnia, with great, prolonged, nervous excitation, followed by lassitude and headache.

In a quarter of an hour she was tossing about, groaning loudly with every breath, occasionally rubbing her stomach with great violence. She described the pain as a dull aching, benumbed feel, with an extreme sense of sinking and oppression. Sinking and craving in the stomach, with fluttering in the left side. Great emptiness and craving in the pit of the stomach. сomplained of a faint, gone feeling, which had troubled her for years; these sensations had recently assumed the character of intolerable dull pain after every meal, cramp like and pressing, reaching up into the throat, and often waking her from sleep at night. сomplaining chiefly of empty, gone feeling at epigastrium.

Palpitation. Palpitation of the heart at night, with inability to lie on the left side.
 Palpitation of the heart and oppression in the precordia; these symptoms, however, soon subsided. If taking tea at supper, he generally experienced a slight feeling of anxiety in the precordial region, and a sleepless night; but if his brain was more than ordinarily excited by a lively conversation, or by continued thinking, the anxiety disappeared, and he had a refreshing sleep. Palpitations of the heart; on examination, I generally find dilation, with thinning of the heart. Violent palpitation, and considerable pain in the region of the heart.

She is lean and pale. An enormous tumor, almost as large as the fist of an adult, is developed in the lumbar region. This tumor, quite circumscribed, is almost indolent, even to pressure.
 It is movable and appears formed in the thickness of the derma.
 The skin which covers it is of a lively pink. The tension of the integuments is felt even to the hips, and is accompanied by a constant itching. After twenty-four hours passed without taking the medicine, this tumor was almost reduced (eighth day); a similar tumor, a little less prominent, but larger, manifests itself on the external and superior portion of the right thigh (eleventh day); a third tumor on the palmar aspects of the right wrist. The mobility of the skin, in this region, permits me to state positively that the ganglionic engorgement exists in the thickness of the former. During twenty-four hours the hand is completely engorged, so much so as to disable me from writing (twelfth day); finally, the same symptom shows itself simultaneously on the scrotum, the penis, and the prepuce, in such a manner as to resemble at once an enormous hydrocele and a phimosis. The parts affected are, moreover, absolutely indolent.
 These tumefactions, like the others, require two days for their resolution (thirteenth day). Trembling of the whole body. Little isolated twitchings, exactly resembling the sensation caused by electric sparks, in different parts of the body, especially in the forearms, the hands, and the finger-joints (after three days). Epilepsy. Epilepsy in a child from swallowing a concentrated infusion. сonvulsions; the muscles of the limbs were principally affected. Great agitation. Oppression, slight nausea, general tremor, palpitation and oppression of the heart, with a feeling of debility, as if the knees would not support the body. Vascular excitement and sleeplessness in some. Languor.
 Debility. Great debility. Feeling weak and exhausted. Weakness and pain in the small of the back. General weakness, especially after every meal. A sense of general weakness for two hours after breakfast. A glass of sherry or beer always shortened the attacks of weakness, irregularity of the pulse, and nausea.
 Great general weakness, and above all, uncontrollable longing for tea; a bowl of strong tea was the only source of relief, removing the sensation of goneness, and giving new vigor for a short time. Great inclination to lie down, with dread of movement.
 Aversion to movement (sixth day). Incapability of muscular action. Great loss of muscular energy. Very disagreeable feeling, as if she was going to faint away. Great feeling of faintness.
 Exceeding sensibility to the least draught of air; it causing a deathly coldness to the cartilages of the ears (Oo. A kind of dull agitation, at first in the limbs, seeming to proceed from the periphery to the center, that is, extend from the muscular apparatus to the nervous centers. Sinking, craving, fluttering feeling, often described. If wine or beer was drunk after the tea, the sleeplessness and general malaise was not experienced; but if strong beer was drunk before the tea, this beverage diminished the frequency of the pulse, and afforded a feeling of comfort and increased buoyancy of mind and body. The effects of the tea were always aggravated when I drank it fasting. Feels generally worse in the afternoon.

 Skin.
 Great dryness of the skin, as if the pores were obstructed (Oo.
 The skin on the ends of the fingers peels up, from excessive dryness (Oo. Eruption of red pimples, indolent or very slightly painful, extending, sometimes in clusters, sometimes singly, over the neck, the shoulders, and especially the thighs. Some of these pimples are the size of large peas. They are easily broken, bleeding a little, and drying up very soon (after three days).
