Twentieth day.--One, morning; worse; with more pain than last hour; stiff and dull.--Three, morning; much pain in his thighs and legs; some difficulty in walking until he had gone a few hundred yards; slept well, and always started at the first call.--Five and seven, morning; much better; felt less pain, and walked with more ease.--Nine, morning; still felt some pain in his legs, particularly at starting.--He was not so well throughout the day as usual, owing, in a great measure, to the extreme heat of the weather. His legs were bathed several times with vinegar; but he was still in good health, and his appetite the same as at the commencement.--Nine, evening; still felt some pain, but it did not affect his walking, and he was in good spirits.--Eleven, evening; pain increasing, and somewhat stiff in his motion.
Twenty-first day.--One, morning; much worse; pain increased; walked heavily, and not in good spirits.--Three, morning; at this time felt much pain in the back parts of his legs; could not walk with ease, and complained a little on the _tread_ of his right foot.--Five, morning; somewhat better; did not feel so much pain, and walked with more ease.--Seven, morning; much better; the pain considerably abated.--Nine, morning; in good spirits; still felt a little pain in his thighs and legs, which continued throughout the day; bathed them frequently in vinegar; his foot better in consequence of the application of vinegar.--Nine, evening; about this time began to feel the pain increasing; walked rather heavily, but was in good spirits.--Eleven, night; felt more pain; somewhat stiff, particularly at starting, but was still in good spirits.--During this day, Capt. Barclay lay down every time he returned from his walk, and was rather more stiff than during the preceding day.
Twenty-second day.--One, morning; felt much pain.--Three, morning; pain continued, but not so violent as at the same hour the preceding day, and he walked with more ease.--Five, morning; still felt much pain, walked heavily, but was in good spirits.--Seven, morning; the pain did not abate so much at this hour as it had usually done; experienced some difficulty in walking.--Nine, morning; a good deal of pain; complained on the _tread_ of his foot, and walked heavily: the ground, although turf, and watered once every day, had become hard from the drought, and from being trampled by so many people who came to witness Capt. Barclay’s exertions.--Nine, night; pain increasing; more difficulty in walking, but in pretty good spirits.--Eleven, evening; felt rather more pain; somewhat stiff, but on the whole nearly the same as during the preceding day; lay down every time he came in from his walk, and slept well throughout the day; Dr. Sandiver called; recommended the application of the warm bath, and sent a liquid in a small phial to be rubbed on those parts where the pain was most intense, after being bathed, which was accordingly done.
