From that period he was subject to attacks of vomiting, sometimes bringing up a little blood ('a teaspoonful').

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.

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'
