Medical notes: 'Fam. [Family] History – 5 brothers and sisters had all had Rheumatic Fever. Past Pers. [Personal] History – No previous illnesses. Hist. [History] Present Illness – Unable to run or hurry for 5 or 6 years. He remembered being told not to hurry on account of the state of his heart 14 years ago when he was examined medically on account of the presence of a slight sore throat: but he never noticed any symptoms of heart trouble until 6 years ago when he began to get short winded. 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'
