I came to typhoid fever - read the symptoms - discovered that I had typhoid fever, must have had it for months without knowing it - wondered what else I had got; turned up St. Vitus's Dance - found, as I expected, that I had that too, - began to get interested in my case, and determined to sift it to the bottom, and so started alphabetically - read up ague, and learnt that I was sickening for it, and that the acute stage would commence in about another fortnight.
Arrivai al tifo — ne lessi i sintomi — scopersi d’averlo (dovevo averlo da mesi senza saperlo) — mi domandai che altro avessi; incontrai il ballo di San Vito — trovai, come m’aspettavo, d’avere anche quello, — cominciai a interessarmi al mio caso, e risoluto d’andare fino in fondo, cominciai per ordine alfabetico — lessi della malaria e appresi che ne ero affetto e che la fase acuta sarebbe cominciata fra una quindicina circa.
