 a cough, which had troubled him in fome degree 

 from the beginning, increafed, and he became like- 

 wife very hoarfe for feveral days, his pulfe, at the 

 fame time, growing quicker : but thefe complaints

Fevers of the putrid kind 'have been fo rare in this 

 town, and in its neighbourhood, fince the com- 

 mencement of the prefent year, that I have not had 

 an opportunity of trying again the effects of fixed air, 

 given by way of clyfter, in any cafe exactly fimilar 

 to Mr. Lightbowne's. I have twice given water fa- 

 turated with fixed air in a fever of the putrefcent 

 kind, and it agreed very well with the patients. 

 To one of them the aerial clyfters were adminiftred, 

 on account of a loofenefs, which attended the fever, 

 though the ftools were not black, nor remarkably 

 hot or foetid.
