fortable, lay and read all day, and wanted to get up. On 23/11/24,
he came down and took his food alright in the morning. Just
before dinner he said he would go to bed as he felt so tired he
could not keep his eyes open. The doctor was called in on the 25th
as the boy was very feverish, and complained of pain in the back
and neck, particularly on the left side. He did not appear to be
very sleepy. In the course of the morning he became delirious,

Case No. 41.

was picked up she was in a very helpless condition, but did not lose
consciousness. Used to lay in a stupor for two or three hours at a
time, and then would have intervals of two or three minutes in
