The patient has passed a restless night but without any alarming symptom. At 5 in the morning has used the warm bath. At half past 3 p. m I found him rather more debilitated than yesterday and advised a more nourishing diet.
It appears from the symptoms of chronic hepatitis (the first appearance of which he experienced about sixteen months ago) that this is the principal cause of the present derangement in his health, and although they are described as having increased considerable of late, yet judging from the present appearances I do not apprehend any immediate imminent danger, although it must be presumed that in a climate where the above disease is so prevalent it will eventually shorten his life.
The more alarming symptom is that which was apprehended last night, a recurrence of which may soon prove fatal particularly if medical assistance is not at hand.[^1]
