One week opium—no appreciable results. Restful sleep—being waked from sleep not disturbing—constipated, but appetite the same.

During this period I noticed that whenever I waked the earlier part of the night, the muscle of the pit of the stomach—or was it the region immediately below the stomach?—were taut, contracted. There was a definite holding on.

To-day the noises of life disturb; they jar. Pressure on ear-drums. Also, for a short time, the feeling of no moorings.
