 to be continued as before, a large wine-glafs full every hour. 



We faw her again at nine in the evening. She remained 

 tranquil : her jaws were lefs firmly clofed, but the pain in 

 her hand was not altogether removed. Although fhe had 

 taken the wine pumTtually as direfted, it had not produced 

 the leall apparent excitement. Having had no difcharge from 

 her bowels for the laft twenty-four hours, an injeftion was
