Report of the City and Finslury Dispensaries. 36* 

 31st. — The opiate, which ought to have been 55 drops, was 

 accidentally omitted, however he passed a good night,, and 

 this morning walked by himself to the bath. 



From this time his" complaints gradually left him : but 

 when the stiffness of the muscles had entirely ceased, the 

 puncture in the foot became painful, and the cicatrix opened. 

 It was troublesome two or three days, and then healed with- 

 out its being known that any extraneous body had been exr 

 pelled from it.
