There was great determination to the head, the eyes were suffused, great drowsiness, and a tendency to comae; however, these symptoms gave way in six hours, in which time he was actively purged, the skin was made moist, and a profuse perspiration kept up for twelve hours, which left him perfectly tranquil and free from fever. From this term I continued to give him small doses of calomel, till his mouth was very slightly affected. He continued free from fever from the morning of the 2d till the 7th; his appetite good, his strength increasing, and every sign of health.

[_The following Affidavit was read._] "In the King's Bench. "The King _against_ Charles Random De Berenger, & others.
