About Christmas time had pain in the back for four days, and could
not turn in bed. Had been ill since then, but eating ordinary food.
Complained of headache, gidddiness, and bad dreams. This was
the first day on which she was seen by the doctor. Tongue was
clean. Pulse about 70. Had some diarrhrca, which was probably due
to castor oil.

Clean tongue. Eyes kept closed. Had been like this for several
days. In bed in darkened room. Complained of heaviness of the
head. Felt as if she was going up and down (stated that she had
felt like this for several weeks.) Also stated that for two months
she had been unable to see things clearly with her glasses, and complained
of black spots and bright lights in front of eyes. Patient
also had horrible dreams.

Can see better, ? glasses want altering. Still bothered by things
but improving steadily. Has had a month's good holiday. House-j
work more bothering than before, much more bothered by a definite
job that has to be done. Gets on her nerves. Looks worried,
Parkinsonian attitudes,
