tngs became infufferable, I always put him into a 
bath of hot water, with fome wood afhes, kept" 
ready in the room ; which gave him great relief. 
This afternoon he felt violent burning pain in his 
great toes, and fometimes in his left hand, with 
(bootings up to the (boulder. Once he cried out, 
in great pain, that his (boulder was burft ; for he 
felt fomething fly out with a fort of exploflon : but, 
examining the part, I found nothing particular. Pie 
obferved, when the flaky burnings began, they were 
as if they kindled from a point, and fla(hed like 
lightning, as he termed it. Pie was very often tor- 
mented with fuch pains on the pit of the ftomach ; 
and this evening had (hootings thro’ the back, with 
a pain in the belly. Pie complained of a ftrong fub 
phurous fmell, which, he faid, was like to fuffocate

no way affected. In the night he was feized with 
great pain about the heart, and cried out violently, - 
that his heart was on fire : but after taking a dole of 
nervous medicines, and being put into the bath, he 
was foon freed from this, and palled the reft of the 
night tolerably well. At the time of fuch violent 
attacks the pulfe continued regular, but ft ill flower 
and fofter than ufual,

Wednesday. This whole day it continued moft 
in the toes of the left foot ; but in the evening the 
pain on the ftomach returned, which lanced to the 
left fide, with dartings inwardly. PPe became fo un- 
eafy and reftlefs, that I was obliged to add fome opium 
to the other medicines ; which anfwered very well.
