Case 1.6: Nov. 11, 1879, I was called in haste to see Neillie C., aged three years and a half. I found her delirious and inclined to stupor; pulse 140, temperature 103; head very hot, hands and feet cool; face deeply flushed, with violent throbbing of temporal and carotid arteries; sleep restless and disturbed by starts and cries; frequent dysenteric stools of bloody, tack had been caused by errors in diet. Gave Bell 200, which rapidly relieved the cerebral symptoms, but failed to control the the dysentery. For the next four days the case steadily grew worse, in spite of the most careful medication. The stools occurred every half-hour during the day, and every twenty minutes during the night; were usually scanty, and consisted of greenish or white, jelly-like mucus with spots and streaks of blood. They were preceded by griping colic, causing the child to scream and bend double with pain; were accompanied by tenesmus and prolapsus ani, and followed by severe tenesmus, with desire to sit a long time, and such complete exhaustion that she would fall asleep on the vessel as soon as the tenesmus ceased. The urine was scanty; thirst well marked, but entire loss of appetite; appetite; patient exceedingly cross and peevish. The pulse varied from 100 to 120, and the temperature from 99 to 101. Of course, there were rapid emaciation and loss of strength. Merc., Pod., and Sulph. had already been given without effect. During these four days the child had not taken more than two teacupful of food. On the morning of the fifth day, I insisted that she must have more nourishment, and her mother replied: "Well, Doctor, i will try it, but every time we bring her food, the sight of it makes her gag, and have not been able to cook anything since she was sick, for the smell of the cooking turns her stomach." On water, a teaspoonful every two hours. During the twenty-four hours preceding its administration, there had been, by actual count, more than fifty stools. In the next twenty-four hours there was only five, and on the following day, two - the last one a perfectly natural evacuation. The patient was dismissed cured, and has remained well up to date of this report - Dr. W. T.Laird.
