When aroused he takes on delirium. It does not matter whether it is scarlet fever, or typhoid fever, or a septic surgical fever, or a puerperal fever, or what. That is the first thought you will have in a Baptisia case. His countenance is besotted. It is bloated and purple and mottled.
Blood oozes from the mouth.
You have seen the besotted countenance of drunkards, and it is like an old drunkard. His mind seems to be gone. He does not know what be is talking about lie is in confusion, and when aroused be attempts to say some thing, and utters a word or two and it all flits away, and he is back in his state of stupor again. No matter what disease that comes in, no matter what inflammation is present, no matter what organ is inflammed, if that state of the blood that can give rise to such symptoms and such sepsis is present, if that state of the mind is present, it is Baptisia . All of the discharges are putrid.
