206 PHILOSOPHICAL TRANSACTIONS. [aNNO 1738. 



He was bled, took a purge, after that -^ oz. of pulvis antilyssus, every morn- 

 ing for 3 days, and was ordered to go into cold water every day for some time; 

 but he neglected it after the 3d day. Besides, Fr. Sandys ordered him to for- 

 bear all meats, and drink nothing but water. He continued in this regimen 

 for about 5 weeks; then finding himself well, would confine himself no longer 

 to it. 



On Jan. 7 following, he was seized with a sickness, vertigo, and faultering 

 in his speech and memory; and at last his vertigo increased to such a degree, 

 that he fell down twice in the space of half an hour; and the last time he did 

 not recover his senses, till he was put to bed, and blooded to the quantity of 18 

 or 20 oz. He continued all night restless and sullen, and in the morning was 

 blooded again, to the quantity of 13 oz. Dr. Hartley was sent for, and came 

 about 8 at night, and found him very sullen, thirsty, but averse to drinking, 

 and his pulse quick and hard. He ordered him to be put into the cold bath; 

 but he refused to comply with it, till he saw that force would be used. About 

 midnight his pulse rising, the Doctor ordered him to be blooded to the quan- 

 tity of l6 or 1@ oz. he continued restless all night. About 8 in the morning 

 he went into the cold bath again: about 10 Dr. Hartley went away, leaving it 

 as his opinion, that the cold bath and bleeding should be freely repeated, as the 

 circumstances should require. 



About noon Mr. Sandys came, and bled him immediately, to the quantity 

 of 18 or 20 oz. he continued restless all this night. On Mr. Sandys's asking 

 him whether his aversion to drinking proceeded from any pain in swallowing, 

 or some other cause? he said it was from a pain in swallowing. The next 

 morning his strength not being at all diminished, and his pulse continuing full 

 as vigorous as ever, Mr. Sandys bled him again to the quantity of 15 or 1 6 oz. 

 yet he still remained the same, and took the same care of his horses as usual. 

 Mr. Sandys went away, leaving orders that as long as these symptoms, viz. 

 restlessness, strength, and aversion to drinking continued, he should be blooded 

 freely, and put into the cold bath. 



He was blooded twice more within the week, so that the whole quantity 

 which he lost in that time was about 1 20 oz. After the last bleeding his 

 symptoms disappeared, and he grew weak, low spirited and sleepy ; he then 

 went 8 times into the cold bath. He did not take any medicines during his 

 whole illness. 



N. B. This person continued well anno 1738.
