who gave him many remedies. At my return his heat 
was very great, and his Pulfe very high, and intermitted 
then on bothwreft's, and if any thing were offered him 
to drink ftanding or fitting, he ftarted as if his head 
would have fallen backwards his flioulders, but when 
lay'd upon his pillow, €ould ^tho' with great difEcultie 6c 
uneafinefs,) now and tben get down a Ipoonfull: he look- 
ed then very thin and gaftly, and feemed fliy or afraid of 
every body that came iuddainly near him, telling them 
they Stifled him, or ftopt or hindred his breath in coming 
lo haftily to him. Hisreafonwas all a long very good, 
and Cas fome obferved,^ better than in his health ; his 
voice was broken and imperfed, as theirs whofe tongue 
and other organs of fpeech are growing paralytical, thus

the Pulfe were much flronger 5 but why it intermitted 
&i9ionbutonejide, is notealily accounted for. 3. That 
the imperfedion of Voice, as well as the difficultie of 
fwallowing were theeffedtsofthe paralyjis, may proba- 
bly be allowed, & be a fatisfadiory reafon why the Perfon 
Dr. Lijier mention's, could not ufe the which was 
given him to fuck with. 4. That his thin gaftly afpe<£t,the 
dtkd:o({piritsand tonic vigour (il I may fo callit,)was 
from a paralytical Original, is not unreafonable to con-
