Some I treated myself, in some I shared a divided responsibility; where the narrative has been obtained from others the fact is so stated. 109 EXAMPLES OF COMMOTION. Case I. On March 17, 1836, Thomas Darlington, a sailor boy, aetat. 14, was felled by the fall of a heavy bale of goods whilst employed upon a ship's deck, with which his head came violently in contact, a wound being inflicted at the same time in the left frontal region and across the root of the nose. He was insensible when brought to the hospital, bleeding freely from the nose and ears. His skin was cold, pupils dilated and inactive, pulse scarcely perceptible. Within three hours of his admission (1 P.m.) he rejected about a pint of blood of a dark colour when the vomiting ceased. He now became more sensible, answering questions and complaining of pain in the head. There was slight jactitation at intervals. Towards evening the skin became hot, the pulse rose considerably, 26 in the quarter and bearing moderate pressure. R Olei ricini ss. statim; vesp. abradatur capill. lot. spirit.
