discharge, which was considerable and slightly offensive, consisted
almost entirely of blood, both in a coagulated and in a liquid state.
His medicines were therefore varied as follows:

Rx. _Decoct. Cort. Peruv. oz. iss Tinct. Cort. ejusd. dr. ij. Confect.
Card. scruple j Gum. Rubr. Astring. gr.
xv. Pulv. Alnmin. gr. vij. m. f. Haustus 4tis horis
sumendus._

Red Port wine was now given more freely in his medicated water; and his
nourishment consisted of sago and salep.

In this state, with very little variation, he continued for several
days; at one time ostive, and at another discharging small quantities of
faeces, mixed with grumous blood. The air-clysters were continued, and
the astringents omitted.

20. His urine was now of an amber colour, and deposited a slight
sediment. His pulse was more regular, and although still very quick,
abated in number ten strokes in a minute. His head was less confused,
and his sleep seemed to be refreshing. No blood appeared in his stools,
which were frequent, but small in quantity; and his _Abdomen_ was less
tense than usual. He was extremely deaf; but gave rational answers to
the few questions which were proposed to him; and said he felt no pain.

21. He passed a very restless night; his delirium recurred; his pulse
beat 125 strokes in a minute; his urine was of a deep amber colour when
first voided; but when cold assumed the appearance of cow's whey. The
_Abdomen_ was not very tense, nor had he any further discharge of blood.

Directions were given to shave his head, and to wash it with a mixture
of vinegar and brandy; the quantity of wine in his drink was diminished;
and the frequent use of the pediluvium was enjoined. The air-clysters
were discontinued, as his stools were not offensive, and his _Abdomen_
less distended.

22. His pulse was now small, irregular, and beat 130 strokes in a
minute. The _Dyspnoea_ was greatly increased; his skin was hot, and
bedewed with a clammy moisture; and every symptom seemed to indicate the
approach of death. In this state he continued till evening, when he
recruited a little. The next day he had several slight convulsions. His
urine which was voided plentifully, still put on the appearance of whey
when cold. Cordial and antispasmodic draughts, composed of camphor,
tincture of castor, and _Sp. vol. aromat._ were now directed; and wine
was liberally administered.

24. He rose from his bed, and by the assistance of his
