 I felt better, but my lower limbs were as cold as ice, and the calf muscles kept tense and
jerking.There was no opisthotonos, only a slight stiffness 
at the back of the neck.Half an hour later, as I could
judge, I took the same quantity of bromide of potassium
and chloral, and a little time after I lost consciousness and
fell into a " profound sleep," awaking in the morning with 
no unpleasant symptoms, no headache, &c., but a desire " to
be on the move " and a slight feeling of stiffness in the jaw.
