Medical notes: 'History. No very satisfactory information was to be obtained from this patient. She saw that for five years she had been subject to attacks of jaundice, commencing with stoppage of the urine, lasting about a week, and usually relieved by 5 gr [grams?] of calomel. The present attack was of 3 wks [weeks] date: it commenced in the usual manner, but failed to be relieved by treatment. It was accompanied by much costiveness: by vomiting about every other day and by a sense of distension in the waist. The cough complained of was of 2 yrs [years] and 8 mo [months] date; and had succeeded an attack of 'bronchitis'. Dyspnoea had been a constant accompaniment. The legs, she said had been in the habit of swelling all her life'

Was subject to rheumatism and winter coughs. About 1850 he fell over some stones and buried the R. [Right] side: he immediately passed some blood (a great quantity, of red colour) by the bowel, and continued to discharge more or less for a week. At the same time he was seized with severe pain in the abdomen, which laid him up for about a month: he was delirious part of the time: was treated with turpentine fomentations: there was no icterus. From that period he was subject to attacks of vomiting, sometimes bringing up a little blood ('a teaspoonful'). Eleven days before admn [admission], he was attacked with profuse diarrhoea, which continued, with a little vomiting at times'

Previous history of good health and natural functions. Forty seven days before admn [admission], she began to experience slight malaise and aching of limbs. Two days later a degree of icterus was established, which did not vary up to admission. After another two she began to vomit: vomiting from that time occurred on an average once a day: frothy matter vomited. Severe pain in the epigastrium appeared the day after the vomiting: it recurred afterwards at irregular intervals, generally in the evening to last all night.

Medical notes: 'History. No heritable disease in the family. Nothing noticeable in previous history. About the middle of August, he was attacked quite suddenly with a sharp cutting pain in the loins, which persisted, though with intervals of relief. A fortnight or so later, it extended all over the hypogastrium, and gradually all over the abdomen. It now frequently alternated between there and the loins. The urine, hitherto natural, now grew darker and he began to lose flesh. On Sept [September] 27th the severity of the pain compelled him to take to bed. At the same time dull pain appeared in the epigastrium, the bowels became constipated, and he began to vomit. The last symptom continued violently for nine days'
