Afthma and anafarca, the caicleaunane: of free liv- 
ing. He had been for fome time under the care of 
an eminent phyfician of this place, but his com- 
plaints proving unufually obftinate, he confulted 
me, I direéted an infufion of Digitalis to be taken 
every night, and a mixture with fquill and tin@ure 
of cantharides twice every day. In about a week 
he became better, and continued daily mending. 
He has fince enjoyed perfec health, having quitted 
a_line of bufinefs which expofed him to drink too 
much. 2

Auguft 6th. Mr. M—— of C , Ht.44. Afcites 
and anafarca, preceded by fymptoms of the epileptic 
kind. He was ordered to take two grains of puly. © 
Digitalis every morning, - and three every night ; 
likewife a faline draught with fyrup of fquills, every 
day at noon, His complaints fool yielded to this 
treatment, but in the month of November following 
he relapfed, and again afked my advice. The Digi- 
talis alone was now prefcribed, which proved as ffié. 
cacious as in the firft trial. He then took bitters” 
twice a day, and vitriolic acid night and mo. p 
and | no zSHoy good health.
