• Complete paralysis of the limbs, with complete unconsciousness, 56.
• A numb feeling in the lower extremities, with utter want of power to move them; this was followed by a similar state of the upper extremities. Along with the numb feeling there was a sensation of stiffness in the limbs different from the feeling of powerlessness of motion. The numb powerless sensation then extended over the whole body, but was not accompanied with coldness of the surface. The sensibility of the skin was normal. On the next day such a feeling of weakness in the limbs that they shook under her, as if she "had been recovering from a fever," 59.

SUPERIOR EXTREMITIES

• The arms when lifted fall like inert masses, and remain immovable, 62.
• Tickling in the arm pits excites no motion of the arms, 62.

• Mingle weariness and weakness in the lower part of the biceps brachii muscle. I particularly studied this feeling and can give no other idea of it except by comparing it, as already done, to a mixture of weariness and feebleness or debility. It was not unpleasant, and there was a constant disposition to flex and extend the forearm (eighteenth, nineteenth, and twentieth days), 39.

• Painless loss of power in the inferior extremities, 62. [990.]
• After twenty minutes he got up and walked a mike; but the legs were so weak that they could hardly support him; the knees tended to fall forwards, and his gait was tottering, 42.
• In dismounting about an hour from the commencement of the symptoms (about an hour and a half after taking the dose), I found so much difficulty in walking as to require assistance to reach the house, the inferior extremities appearing nearly paralyzed. So little pain or distress was felt, however, that I laughed heartily at the predicament I had so unwittingly placed myself in. Feeling anxious to get rid of this annoyance, as well as from the solicitude of those around me, I tried what effects smoking tobacco would produce. I had been in the habit of using this luxury occasionally, and at this time had a strong desire for it. Whether from this cause or from rest and composure I soon felt very much relieved. Vision became clearer, the limbs less troublesome, and whilst sitting, little or no apparent effects of the poison remained. On rising, however, the inferior extremities persisted in their unwillingness to move, but much less than before. The whole day passed without being entirely rid of these feelings, 41.

It was not that I felt fatigued just then, but is seemed as if a drag was suddenly put upon me, and that it would be impossible to walk fast, if urged to do so (after three-quarters of an hour). After walking about a mile uphill, this sensation was very decided; and on putting a foot on the scraper at the door of the hospital, the other leg was shaky, and felt almost too weak to support me. My movements appeared clumsy to myself, and it seemed necessary that I should make an effort to control them, 42.
