On the tenth instant when I walked with Mr. Bentham his steps
faltered more than I had been accustomed to, this
expectoration was considerable and his breathing was thick
and short. The exertion in breathing was more considerable
than I had ever before observed. After having gone his circumgyration
he called me up to him and stated to me that he
wished me to see Dr. Southwood Smith and tell him that his
breathing was short and request him to prescribe something
for him. I did as I was requested and Dr. Smith sent to
him a prescription.
On The 11th (Saturday), I returned although it's unnatural for me
to do so on this day, and walked with him at about two O'clock.
His breathing was more difficult than before; his expectorations
more considerable, his steps more feeble.
Before dinner he called
upon me to take his
arm give him my
arm, a thing which
he had never done
before. His breathing
was good, he had
scarcely any cough
and his steps were
better than during
the middle of the day.
After dinner time he mentioned that in the day
morning when he first by went to the water
closet, sm he could get no stool. Soon after he had
come from the water closet he had occasion to return there
when he had a much more copious stool than he had ever
before remembered. Shortly afterwards he had a second
stool. This he considered very extraordinary. Nothing of
the kind ever he said had ever recurred to him before. I
read to him during the dinner and for the first time his
sense of hearing appeared to me more acute than usual
and he complained that I was read too loud when I only read
in the ordinary tone. After dinner and when I,
Chadwick . I told
