Following hip-replacement surgery, the artist recorded her experiences and emotions during her post-operative recovery. One of the most inconvenient and humiliating experiences was the frequent vomiting, which came as a side-effect of the pain relieving drugs administered after surgery.

On the whole subject of Human Rumination (Merycism) see also my notes 21 June 1902 p 109. These cuttings include various subjects bearing on hysteria and functional nervous disease in general, but see also the volume on 'Mind Disease and Therapeutics 1904'. This volume includes notes and cuttings on surgery and operations in hysterical conditions (for supposed appendicitis, intestinal obstruction, mastoiditis etc). This volume includes also some cuttings and references, also cases on the subject of 'Rumination' ('Merycism') in Man - which is obviously an example of anti-peristalsis and may possibly be regarded as in some ways analogous or allied to 'Functional (Hysterical) Vomiting'. This volume also has notes and cuttings on skin eruptions and physical changes of psychical origin. On excessive kneejerks and the 'trepidation form of patellar reflex' and 'functional ankle clonus' see notes inserted at page 196--also on Kernig's sign of cerebral origin. For further notes and cuttings on excessive knee-jerks etc see my special volume on the subject. Intimately connected with all this is the subject of Functional Cerebral Fever (hysterical or neurotic or due to shocks etc--without organic changes) on all such kinds of fever see my notes and cuttings 17 Nov 1898 p 537; 28 Jun 1902 p 115; and my volume on 'Mind Disease and Therapeutics 1904 first and second and third series'. On skin eruption and physical changes of psychical origin see also my collection 'Hysterical malingering etc' (self-mutilations etc). This volume includes notes and cuttings on 'hysterical vomiting' of all kinds. References to 'voluntary vomiting' see Gould and Pyle's Anomalies and Curiosities of Medicine p 630

Medication chart: Vomiting, coughing, sore throat, jaundice. From a manuscript copy of Shanghan diandian jin shu (The Gold-dust Book of Cold Damage) dated '1st year of the Zhengyuan reign period of the Yuan dynasty' (1341), section entitled Shanghan diandian jin yongyao muji (Cold Damage Gold-Dust Repertory of Medication). The text states: Vomiting illnesses are normally treated with Five-Drug powder (wu ling san) or decoction of bamboo leaf and gypsum. For vomiting illnesses with cold, the usual treatment is Four Retrograde/Cold Extremities decoction (sini tang), evodia decoction (wuzhuyu tang), etc. Coughing involving the Greater Yang channel (taiyang jing) is usually treated with lesser Blue-Green Dragon decoction (xiao qingling tang), Minor Bupleurum Decoction (xiao chaihu tang), etc. If the Lesser Yin channel is involved, the usual treatment is True Warrior decoction (zhen wu tang), Four Retrograde/Cold Extremities Decoction (sini tang), etc. For sore throat due to cold damage to the kidney, the usual treatment is pinellia, cassia and liquorice decoction (banxia guigan tang) or Four Retrograde/Cold Extremities decoction (sini tang). For Yang poison syndrome sore throat, cohosh decoction (shengma tang), cimicifuga), rhubarb decoction, Cape jasmine seed decoction (zhizi ren tang), etc., is used. For Lesser Yin (shaoyin) syndrome sore throat, liquorice decoction, etc. is used. For jaundice due to cold damage, Five-Drug powder with capillary artemisia (wu ling san jia yinchen), capillary artemisia and wormwood decoction (yinchen hao tang) decoction, or ephedra, forsythia and adsuki bean decoction (mahuang lianqiao chi xiaodou tang) is used. If there are symptoms of madness, this is evidence of either Yang poison, blood amassment (xuxue) or fire malignity (huoxie).
