Meningitis, Associated with Local Paralysis and Gastric Ulcer

Private Eenry Clarke, of H. M.'s 2-12th Regiment, aged 20 years, was admitted into the Queen's Hospital, Bareilly, in Dr. Scanlan's Ward, on the 27th April 1879, with ordinary pyrexial symptoms, marked frontal headache and constipation. His health recently has been tolerably good, but last year he suffered from an attack of typhoid ; there is no history of syphilis, rheumatism nor tuberculosis ; nor has he had any undue exposure to the sun. His condition remained unchanged for some days ; saline aperients, cathartic enemata and diaphoretics were resorted to for his relief but with no effect; on the 3rd May or the 7th day of the disease his symptom s became more aggravated, the headache, constant and distressing, the skin hot, the pulse, which at the onset was hard and bounding, now fell with a loss in volume and frequency, being only 66 beats per minute ; his expression denoted anxiety : restlessness and irritability were more marked; the tongue was furred and inclined to dry, the bowels were obstinately constipated.
