Case X. 
Not long after, Mr. Loutiit 2nd I gave the fame 
Dofe to a Gentlewoman, whofe Brain had Jong been 
turn’d by religious Terrors, which firft affeded her 
about the Time that her Menfes ceafed. I was, at 
firft, furprifed to find her fuddenly become quite gen- 
tle, obliging, and reafonable ; but thefe good Effeds, 
as fhe flept but little, went off. next Day, and fhc 
foon appeared neither better nor worfe than (he was 
before 5 and in the fame Condition fhe ftill conti- 
nues : So that neither in this Cafe did the large Dofe 
of Musk do any Mifchief. 
Thefe, Sir, are fome of the many Experiments 
made with the above recited Prefcription by myfelf, 
and the Surgeons under my Diredion. You may 
depend on the Fads as near as I can recoiled them j 
and if you defire to be further fatisfied, Mr. Lout tit , 
my Apothecary, and Mr. Mackenzie , one of my Sur- 
geons, now in Town, Eh all wait upon you. Give me 
Leave only to obferve, that, where I thought the Cafe 
required it, I have given as far as 24 Grains of Musk 
to Convids, and never found any ill Effeds from it, 
tho’, on fome Occafions, it difappointed my Hopes. 
Whether there was any Error in altering the Tonquin- 
efe Proportions, the Caufe of which I cannot recoiled, 
or whether the Medicine would have fucceeded ia the 
Inftances where it mifearried, had the original Pre- 
fcription been kept to, and repeated as direded, I 
leave to your Judgment and Experience.
