inf. bacc. junip._ until about _March_ 2d, when all the swellings
were gone down, her respiration perfectly free, and she herself quite
restored to her former state of health. On the 29th she had an attack
of jaundice which was some time after removed; since which she has
enjoyed a good state of health, excepting that for some little time
past her ancles have been slightly oedematous, which will I trust
soon yield to strengthening medicines.

CASE III.

Mrs. M---- G----, AEt. 64. Has had sore legs for these thirty-four
years past. Orthopnoea. Sense of oppression at the proecordia.
Pulse intermitting. Legs anasarcous. Urine scanty, high-coloured.

_Infus. Digital. c. [Symbol: dram]iss ad aq. bull. [Symbol: ounce]viii.
cochl. ii. 4tis horis._

Took six doses, when nausea was excited. Urine a quart during the
course of the night. The flow of urine continued, and complaints
relieved. Sal. Mart. c. extr. gent. and afterwards with the addition
of extr. cort. for which last ingredient she had a predilection,
confirmed the cure.

On the same day the next year I was called in to her for a similar
train of symptoms, excepting that the pulse was but just perceptibly
irregular.

_Infus. Digital. u. a. praescript._

The directions on the phial not being attended to, _two doses of it
were given after a nausea had been excited_, which, with occasional
vomitings, became exceedingly oppressive. A saline draught, given in
Dr. Hulme's method, a draught _sal. c. c. gr. xii. c. conf. card. gr.
x._ produced no immediate effect, but the nausea gradually abating,
inf. bacc. junip. was ordered; but this appeared to augment it, and a
great propensity to sleep coming on, I directed _sal. c. c. conf.
card, aa gr. viii. 4tis horis_, which removed the unpleasant symptoms
and _myrrh. c. sal. mart._ completed the cure. During the use of the
above medicines, the urine was augmented, and the pulmonary complaints
removed, even before the nausea left her; and the sores of her legs
which were much inflamed before she began with the infus. Digital. in
a day's time assumed a much healthier appearance, and on her other
complaints going off, they shewed a greater tendency to heal than she
had ever observed in them for twenty years before. This instance is a
very pleasing confirmation of the experience of Hulse and Dr. Baylies,
and of the advantage to be derived from a medicine, which, while it
helps to heal
