Medical notes: 'This young man presented on admission the appearance of rheumatism affecting the joints but not of an acute type. He was admitted in the evening, and before the hour of visit next day almost every trace of rheumatism had disappeared. He then presented a pale, bloodless, death-like aspect. His skin was universally cold, his hands & feet remarkably so, and had been still colder some time previously. He was pulseless, but perfectly rational & collected, rather inclined to doze, and making no complaint except of intense thirst’
