Excerpt from A Case of Cerebral Neuralgia Terminating Fatally by Serous Apoplexy: With Remarks on the Occurrence of Serous ApoplexyOn the 5th of September, the cephalalgia resumed its former intensity. It was noted that she was slightly feverish, and could not retain anything on the stomach. On the 6th, the spells were very frequent, and she was much excited. The prescription of the 28th of August was used, but without benefit. Vomiting was not a prominent symptom, but the next day it became so, and resisted all the remedies employed for its removal. She passed a miserable night, talking, screaming, and keeping all the patients in the ward in a state of alarm. Her cephalalgia was excruciating. She tried, and seemingly with some success, to relieve it by twisting a towel around her head, and several times, when asked as to its seat, she exclaimed, pointing to her brows, the doctor thinks it is outside, but it is not. Seizing hold of persons standing by, her features distorted, her teeth grinding, her head drawn to the right shoulder from rigid muscular con traction, she implored for help against the death which she be lieved imminent.About the PublisherForgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
