Excerpt from Transactions of the Royal Society of Tropical Medicine and Hygiene, Vol. 2: November, 1908 He still has recurrent pyrexial attacks, ushered in by a rigor and accompanied by headache. The leg during the attacks shows patchy erythema, and is the seat of pain, increasing in severity at night. While in bed the leg becomes comparatively flabby, being less tense than when he is getting about. The patient states that the swelling began in his foot, and that he had to cut his boot. For three years after 1895 the swelling of the leg remained comparatively slight. He can walk about with difficulty.
