Case XXXVIII.
Richard Maciff, æt. 30, admitted on the 22d day of fever. No account can be obtained of its previous history: at present he lies quite prostrate and perfectly insensible; eyes wild and rolling; pupils dilated and insensible to light; constantly picking at the objects around him; pulse not to be counted, on account of his extreme restlessness, but it feels like a soft cotton cord, and nearly without pulsation.
23d. Profound coma; senseless muttering; constant muscular tremor; squinting; neither stool nor urine has been passed since admission; pulse 96, soft, not intermittent.
24th. Coma undiminished; one stool passed in bed; urine drawn off by the catheter; pulse 100, extremely feeble.
25th. No change.
