was defpaired of. She recovered however from the 
violence of her aidemper, but the fad effedts of it re- 
mained. For, from this time, die continued in a 
weakly uncertain date of health till the month of 
July, 175*5, when die was again taken ill of the 
fame kind of fever ; and after it went off lhe was trou- 
bled with worfe nervous fymptoms than ever, ending 
at lad in a paralytic dilorder, which fometimes affedted

In this condition lhe remained till the fpring 1756, 
when unexpedtedly die grew much better ; but not

which, in cold weather, feldom failed to manifed

cold, and a lofs of motion in the left dde.
