 of turpentine (or the common) four ounces ; 

 nerve ointment, and oil of bay, each two

 exafperate all the fymptoms, perhaps induce 

 delirium. Nutritive glyfters. Laxative and 

 cephalic ditto. In a very bad cafe, Gibfon had 

 great fuccefs with crude opium, injeded half 

 an ounce in a glyfter, which he afterwards fol- 

 lowed up (the mouth opening a little) with a 

 ball of an ounce of Matthews 's pill, and two 

 drachms afafxtidai wafhed down with warm 



gruel.
