This {weat continued from the afternoon 
of the 22d till the 24th at night, with ve- 
ry little intermiffion. I gave over the bo- 
lufes, and ordered her ajulep, to eight 
ounces of which I put twelve grains of 
mufk, to be taken ad ibitum. In this me- 
thod fhe continued till the 27th, quite ea- 
fy and free from all her former fymptoms, 
and even the fwellings of her legs almoft 
gone: But, as on this day fhe fancied the 
gout in her ftomach was returning, I gave 
her another bolus. She complained this 
time of the intolerable heat of the brandy, 
which was the firft thing fhe had found 
warm in her {tomach during this illnefs. 
On the 29th, fhe was apprehenfive of ano- 
ther attack, and took another bolus; af- 
ter which fhe found herfelf very well, and 
walked about the room, the fwellings of 
her feet being quite gone. And, on the 
ath of December, went out in a chair to 
thank the lady who fent me to her, and 
continues to be well to this day.
