26. Child six months old. Screaming; fever and hot head; all worse at night; starts in sleep as if frightened; pale in the evening; light green coloured, slimy discharges from bowels, the light coloured part appeared to be undigested milk; discharges more frequent during afternoon, and evening. While talking with the mother, the child being asleep upon her arm, she bent forward to pick something from the floor, the child immediately threw up its hands.
Upon questioning her, she said the child appeared to be afraid of falling, and she “didn’t see how a child so young should know anything about falling.” About a month previous the child’s mouth had been sore, but had been cured as the mother supposed; Borax 1m (F) next morning the child was well.- H.N. MARTIN.
