Involuntary evacuation of stool and urine (seventh day).
Excessive watery diarrhoea. Four stools since yesterday (fourth day). Daily, from one to two loose watery stools, preceded by colicky pains. Two loose stools, at 6 P.M. Awoke at 5 A.M., with loose and watery stool, and belching of gas like rotten eggs; no pain, and no control of sphincter ani; no appetite for breakfast.
A few loose discharges from the bowels (third day). Loose discharges from the bowels, dark-colored, with pain before and after stool. Three liquid stools, dark and offensive, with pain before and after stool, and also between times; worse in the afternoon. Liquid stools, accompanied by urging and very sick feeling.

Semifluid and cutting in the colon (second day). Very soft stool, in the evening, without difficulty. Scanty semifluid stool, forcibly evacuated. The passages were like the scrapings of the intestines and almost constant, attended with tenesmus for upwards of two hours; involuntary passages on the least motion; eight hours later, the passages changed to mucus and mucus mixed with blood and slime, still involuntary. At the end of twelve hours, passages began to become periodical at every half hour, and then every hour, still involuntary, with tenesmus at least an hour after each passage, when they became as far apart as two hours. During the second night I was compelled to use the vessel a number of times, making my calculations to have a passage every two hours, as they were involuntary the moment anything entered the rectum; this condition lasted for two days, obliging me to go to stool as often as every three hours. During the whole time the passages were odorless, except a slight mouldy smell. After three days, every time I went from a warm room into the open air my bowels would move. For more than two months spiced food and pastry invariably produced looseness of the bowels. Soft pasty stool, in the evening, (fourth day). Pasty stool, at an unusual time (first day).

Stool partly bloody, like that of yesterday (fifth day); a few drops of blood after stool (sixth day). Evacuations from the bowels containing blood. Stool preceded by movements in the abdomen and griping about the umbilicus, at first consistent, then semi-liquid, accompanied and succeeded by burning in the anus (fifth day). Stool hard, crumbly, like clay (cathartics caused copious but always whitish- gray evacuations; after the suppression of the cathartics the stool became again indolent, and only possible by the aid of a clyster; evacuations effected by these were tolerably copious, pasty, consisting of white and light-yellow masses).

Stool, with violent pressure, at first crumbly, then consistent, then soft. Stool, with great pressure, with which also only small pieces were discharged. Stool, with constriction in the rectum, preceded by griping in the abdomen; two hours afterwards another stool, without griping, preceded by emission of much flatus and followed by renewed constriction of the rectum (first day). Constipation. Constipation. (* See note to 1490.-HUGHES. *) Obstinate constipation, for three days.
Excessive constipation that could only be overcome by castor oil and injections, with symptoms of accumulation of faeces in the descending colon; namely, sensitiveness to pressure about the left Poupart’s ligament, abnormal hardness low down in the left iliac region; these symptoms increased until about the fortieth day, then almost a dysentery of watery stools mixed with whitish- yellow and cheesy masses, and tenesmus, though not bloody stools; this lasted until the sixtieth day. Constipation for three days; on the fourth day a stool, consisting of blackish masses, seeming to consist of only inspissated blood; on the next day there were no bloody stools (after thirteen days). Constipated stools, difficult to expel, apparently from inactivity of the rectum.

Tenesmus of the bladder, that persisted during the first part of the poisoning, changed after about fifty days to incomplete incontinence of the urine, which was especially troublesome while walking. A stitch extending from the neck of the bladder into the penis, in the evening, on falling asleep.
(Rather severe pressure in the bladder, with cutting and burning during micturition, lasting throughout the menses, while usually this symptom occurred only during the first day and was very slight). In all the cases the bladder remained perfectly empty in spite of copious drinks. Slight spasmodic sensation in the neck of the bladder. Much pain in the bladder and kidneys (fourth day). Urethra.
