  • The order in which the symptoms occurred in Dr.
  • Wigg's case is roughly as follows: In the first fifteen minutes, there was burn ing in the mouth and throat.

  • The most remarkable symptoms were the “fearful pain in the ileo -cecal region and the hard chill at 2 p.m.” These indications led to the cure in the two following cases: The first case concerned Miss A., a schoolteacher, who had for several years a pain beginning in right eye, extending to the right half of her head.

  • E., who drank a large quantity of buttermilk while in a state of perspiratio n after walking thirty miles over a mountainous country in August.
  • Four hours after, he was taken with fearful pain in ileo -cecal region.
