The man, who was a bus conductor, was able to resume his work at the end of December 1890, and continued in his usual good health until Aug 23rd 1890, when he was attacked by headache, pain in the back, nausea and shivering, and on that day first noticed a rash, attended with much itching on chest & arms'
