xmary 9th, 17 57. As her pulfe was Small, tho’ very 
quick, viz. beating 130 in a minute, I thought it 
unneceflary to bleed her, as from former experience 
I did not doubt but that blistering alone would relieve 
her : I ordered, therefore, a large blifter to be applied 
to her left fide, where fhe complained of pain, and 
prefcribed for her the following julep : 
^ Aqu. menth. Jimp . fpirit. Minder er. ana Sjiij. 
.acet.fcillit. %i. J'accbar. alb. 5 »j. mifce ; cap . 
coch. ij. ter in die . 
She was alfo defired to breathe frequently over the 
fteam of hot water, and to drink lintfeed tea. 
January 10th. Her pulfe beat only 112 times in a 
minute, and was fomewhat fuller than on the pth. 
The blifter was not removed till late in the evening, 
and made a plentiful difcharge. The cough having 
been fo fevere laft night, as to keep her from deep, 
I ordered her the following anodyne draught : 
^ Spirit. Minder er. §fs. acet. fcillit. 3 k fir. pa - 
pav. alb. 3vi. mifce ; cap. hor.fomni. 
Jam nth. The cough eafier laft night; difficulty 
of breathing lefs ; pulfe 108 in a minute. Ordered 
the anodyne draught to be repeated, and the ufe of 
the julep, with acet. fcillit. to be continued. 
Jan. 1 2th. Pulfe flower ; cough and pain of the 
fide eafier ; but ftill complains of a head-ach. 
Jan. 1 3th. Pulfe 94 in a minute ; cough continues 
eafler in the night, but is troublefome in the day- 
time. 
Jan. 14th. Every way better ; pulfe only 80 in a 
minute. As her cough is ftill bound, ordered her, 
befides the medicines above-mentioned, a pe&oral 
decodlion of rad. alth. See.
