1 86 Method of making a PFINE, 



her to go herfelf to Tartary, and therefore fhe had it fent to her, 

 well fecured in cafks, during the autumn. 



SHE had been long fubjec"l to a train of nervous diforders. 

 By thefe, fhe was much extenuated, and reduced to a ftate of 

 extreme weaknefs and irritability. She ufed it for about a 

 month, at the end of which time, the functions of her nervous 

 fyitem were reftored, and, with health and vigour, fhe acquired 

 a plumpnefs and frefh complexion. 



THE following year, I refolved to try it at Nifchtte-Novogorod 

 under my own eye. As mares milk could not be obtained in 

 fufficient quantity in town, it was made at the feat of a noble- 

 man, not far diftant, from which it was occafionally tranfport- 

 ed. The feafon was far advanced, however, before a cafe was 

 prefented, in which its efficacy might be tried. At laft, about

 two months only, and that in rather an unfavourable feafon j 

 but the confequence was, that all the above fymptoms difap- 

 peared, and his flefh and ftrength returned ; nor was there any 

 reafon to apprehend a relapfe, at the time I left that country. 



ABOUT the fame time, I advifed its ufe to another young 

 nobleman, who had laboured under an abfcefs in the left fide, 

 about the region of the twelfth rib. As he had then refided in 

 a remote part of the country, no attention had been paid to it ; 

 on the contrary, by improper applications, the fides of the ul- 

 cer were become hard. He had loft his flefh and ftrength j he 

 had occafional faintings j and there were all the appearances of
