다국어 초록 (Multilingual Abstract)

  TOWARDS evening, on the sixth of August, 1817, I received a message requiring an immediate attendance to Mr. William Hoffner, residing in the Neck; the summons was obeyed with all convenient despatch; and on my arrival the patient was found to labour under the following symptoms: He was insensible, the eyes fixed, with somewhat dilated pupils, incapable of any kind of utterance, the breathing constantly oppressed, and occasionally interrupted, the pulse was more frequent than natural, though soft; and his forehead was occupied by a contusion, which had produced a degree of swelling sufficient to close the eyes.
