Medical notes: 'History. Had suffered from enteric, scarlet, and rheumatic fevers. Appetite moderate: lived chiefly on soup and vegetables: ate little meat, very little butter, and no fat: occasional diarrhoea in summer: diaphoresis habitually profuse: possibly from the nature of his work only. He drank a bottle of claret a day: no beer or spirits. Coughs in winter since coming to England )15 years). He went to France on Aug [August] 22nd 1878, being then apparently quite well. Next day, as he was lifting something he brought up about 3 pints of bright blood, without effort either of coughing or vomiting. After this, except that he felt very weak and lost flesh, he remained without symptoms till some six weeks before admission, when cough gradually commenced, without rigor or sign of coryza. It steadily increased, with dyspnoea, but hardly any expectoration. His appetite gradually failed, he continued to lose flesh. His bowels acted loosely twice or so a day: five or six times the last day or two before admission. No rigors or night sweats: no more haemoptysis'
