May 8^th. Is affected every second day with a paroxysm of an intermittent fever, which however is not perfect in its form; the hot & sweating fits attacking him without any cold fit preceding.

But for about 15 hours before the hot fit commences he is affected with headache, sickness at stomach pains of his loins & general lassitude. He has no appetite & is very thirsty. He had the hot & sweating fits this morning & was yesterday from ten o'clock affected with the symptoms above described. The sweating fit continues for about three hours. Pulse 120 & rather full. Appetite good. Tongue clean & moist. Belly regular.

These fits have now continued for about three weeks

When they first began it was with coldness & shivering. But since the first attack he has never had a cold fit.

His fits are rather more severe of late than at first.
