Up to Aug [August] 1903 he considered himself fairly strong and quite healthy. All that time weakness, dyspnoea, slight swelling of the legs came on and he was obliged to give up work. From Christmas time his symptoms increased: but he did not take to his bed until a week before his admission into the hospital. No definite history of rigors. Sleeplessness was the only additional symptom complained of for several weeks'
