Upset stomach with nausea & cramps, yesterday a.m., which grows steadily as the day goes on. Finally to bed in the evening. Nauseated most of the night. I am a miserable coward about vomiting. Obviously the thing for me to do was to empty my stomach, but I did all in my power to avoid it –took peppermint, & gritted my teeth. Toward morning it eased.
Charles E. Burchfield, Sept. 7 –( Sat)- 1946
