Ditto ...
|
He was violent and maniacal. He had some diarrhœa, which from his re- sisting administration of food and medicine, was very difficult to control. He did fairly well, but on 3rd February he had a prolonged fit of an epileptic nature from which he did not completely recover, passing into a state of semi-coma. This with the diarrhœa caused his death.

All food and medicine could only be given with the greatest difficulty.

There are a few ulcers near the pylorus. Mucous membrane thickened and eroded, covered with slough. Small intestines slightly inflamed on the surface. Large intestines : patches of congestion here and there, but no actual ulceration. This old woman had mucous diarrhœa. She did fairly well, but died rather suddenly, having become collapsed with signs of some abdominal complication ; perforation was suspected.
