Towards the latter End of March 1743, his Cough 
return'd again with the fame ufual Violence, and 
the Dilcharge in One Night was a full Pint of fetid 
bloody Pus ; half that Quantity was expedorated 
next Day. He had the fame feverifh Symptoms a few 
Days before this Cough, as ufual, but rather more 
fevere. It continued upon him 8 Days before it began 
to abate. No Shot were difcharged at this time, as 
was expeded; but he coughed up a broad Scale of a 
Bone, ragged at the Edges, and of an irregular Shape, 
which, I imagine, was 'a Part of the Scapula , A few 
Weeks after this he was taken into your Hofpital. 
Thus far Mr. Peters. He had the Benefit of the 
0 Devon and Exeter Hofpital, under my Care for 1 5 
Months; during which Time he was hedical, had 
fiometimes pleuritic Pains, for which he was often 
bled, and took foft Pedorals. He frequently fpit 
Pus in great Quantities. I confin'd him to a Milk- 
Diet ; order’d him Balfamics, particularly Balf. Lo - 
catelli in an Eleduary. He is now healthy, ftrong, 
and fat 5 and frequently walks from Topfham to 
Exeter , which is near four Miles, and returns the 
fame Day. 
I am &c.
