the Petechiae appeared over his whole
Body, of a broad dunnish kind; his Breathing became easier, and his
Pulse stronger, though the Delirium was still as bad as before: He was
ordered a Drachm of the Bark every fourth Hour in a saline Draught. On
the 10th, the Bark gave him several loose Stools, but the Petechiae
were of a more florid Colour; the Delirium was less, and his Tongue
moist, and therefore he was ordered to continue the same Medicines as
the Day before, with the Addition of ten Grains of the _Pilulae
saponaceae_ in the Evening. The 11th Day, he fell into a fine breathing
Sweat, his Pulse became fuller and slower, and the Delirium abated: p.
The 12th, his Pulse was regular, and the Delirium gone, and he was
much inclined to sleep. The 13th, after a calm Sleep, which had lasted
twelve or fourteen Hours, he became quite free of Fever. After this he
continued the Use of his Medicines for some Days, and recovered his
Health and Strength daily.

III. On the 23d of _May_ 1761, _Lionel Thompson_, of the First
Regiment of Foot Guards, was seized with all the Symptoms of a
Peripneumony, attended with a high Fever, for which he was ordered to
be blooded. After losing eight Ounces of Blood, he fell into a
fainting Fit; on recovering out of which, his Breathing being still
much affected, he had a Mixture made of four Ounces of the _Lac
Ammoniacum_, and one of the _spiritus mindereri_, of which he was
desired to take two Spoonfuls every four Hours. The 24th, the Symptoms
the same: He complained of having had no Stool for some Days, and took
half an Ounce of the _sal catharticum amarum_, which gave him two
loose Stools. On the 25th, his Pulse was small and quick, his
Breathing difficult; he was low, and had a slight Delirium: A large
Blister was applied between his Shoulders, and the Medicines
continued. On the 26th, in the Morning, the Petechiae appeared, and his
Breathing was freer: He was ordered a Drachm of the Bark, in a saline
Draught, every four Hours. The 27th, the Pulse better: p. The 28th,
was more sensible, and had a kindly warm Moisture all over the Skin.
The 29th, the Fever was much abated, and his Tongue, which was before
parched and dry, became moist and white: He continued the Use of the
Cortex for three Days more, which removed the Fever; and being
costive, he took a Dose of the Tincture of Rhubarb. After this he used
the Bark for a few Days longer, and got perfectly well.
