Credit, laid his Condition fo much to Heart, and 
drank fo freely of fpirituous Liquors to drown his 
Care, that he fell into a violent Fever. He was on 
the Maher’s Side, where his Relations look’d after 
him ; fo that I heard nothing of his Cafe till it was 
very defperate. He was delirious to a high degree, 
and had Catchings in his Hands and Face. He took 
the above Medicine at Night, flept and perfpired well, 
and next Morning waked intirely free from his Dif- 
temper, excepting that he had fuch a Tremor left in 
his Hands, that he could not carry a Glafs to his Head ;

the Gaol Difiemper and generally found it to have 
the lame falutary Effe&s ; more efpecially where the 
Patients were delirious or convulfed ; as can be at-

the Medicines for my Surgeons ; and was himfelf a 
Witnefs of feveral furprifmg Cures perform’d by it : 
Nor did I ever hear of any bad Effects from it.
