Since inhaling the vapor, a relaxed condition of the bronchial mucous membrane, with expectoration every morning of three or four lumps of carbonaceous mucus, and some during the day, has altogether disappeared, and the little irritation of the membrane had also gone.
Heart and Pulse
The depressing influence upon the heart greater than that of Chloroform. Failing in the action of the heart, which became weak, and not more than forty-eight per minute, with great lassitude in the limbs (after one hour and a half). The pulse becomes extremely feeble and weak. Pulse weak and rapid during the greatest degree of anaesthetic sleep.

Fever

Sleep and Dreams
Sleepiness, with a sort of passive wish to proceed with the inspiration, but as if even this were too much trouble. Bad night, with little continuous sleep till morning; lay half dreaming, with a hot skin, a swimming feeling in the head, nausea at the stomach, a very dry tongue sticking to the palate, a taste of the Tetrachloride, and a weak pulse, with a feeling like sea- sickness; restlessness, with a disinclination to move.
