Excerpt from Detroit Medical Journal, Vol. 3: October, 1903 A few days after receiving the injury he became conscious, but at the same time exhibited paralysis of the entire left side of his body. Fever developed and Dr. Smith found it necessary to cut through the scalp into the fracture where it ran into the left temporal ridge near its summit and evacuate a large quantity of pus. After this, compression symp toms, which had come on gradually with the temperature, began to vanish and his general health improved so that he was soon out of bed and able to leave the hos pital. His left side, however, continued weak and he could not approximate thumb and fingers of his left hand norm ally. There was numbness of these or gans, and starting in them, came a pe culiar, light, airy feeling which swept through his whole body, culminating in fits of unconsciousness, during which his friends said he convulsed violently. He came under my service at Emergency August 1, 1903. About the Publisher Forgotten Books publishes hundreds of thousands of rare and classic books.
