The usual symptoms of stopped secretion are manifested--shivering and a feeling of coldness, though the skin is quite hot to the touch of another.

The heat in the axilla, over the heart and region of the stomach, was in my case 100 Deg.; but along the spine and at the nape of the neck 103 Deg.

The internal processes were all, with the exception of the kidneys and liver, stopped; the latter, in its efforts to free the blood of noxious particles, often secretes enormous quantities of bile.

There were pains along the spine, and frontal headache.

Anxious to ascertain whether the natives possessed the knowledge of any remedy of which we were ignorant, I requested the assistance of one of Sekeletu's doctors.
