General symptoms

Comatose condition. Pupils immoderately dilated. Face pallid. Emesis, after a quiet sleep. Sleep emesis. Respiration somewhat rhonchus, but of usual frequency. Pulse slow and feeble. Muscular movements observed first about the eyes and face, especially on the left side, towards which the eyes and facial muscles were directed, becoming gradually more and more aggravated, going from the head to the left arm, then to the left lower extremity, till finally the whole body was thrown into the most violent convulsions; at one time the spasms were chiefly opisthotonic, when the whole surface was congested almost to a blackened hue; most marked rigidity about the muscles of the head and throat; the jaw were for the most part firmly locked, trismus being complete, as is often in tetanus; relieved by bath. Weak and almost helpless for a few days. Lying on the floor in a “fainting fit”. Perfect insensibility. Surface cool.
