difcharges had an urinous fcent, and feemed to leffen 
her urinous vomitings, which, from this time, be- 
came lefs frequent : but her legs, and efpecially her 
body, fwelled to an extraordinary fize, and the 
breathed with the utmoft difficulty. 
On tbe firft and fecond of Auguft, 175*7, after a 
total fuppreffion of urine for above a year and three 
months, fhe felt uncommon pricking pains, with 
great heat all down her back and loins, and about 
the belly and groin. On the fecond day, fhe voided 
about three ounces of thick, flimy matter, attended 
with {harp pains in the urinary paffages : this water 
was not high-coloured. The next day, fhe made 
water of a truly urinous kind with lefs pain ; and con- 
tinued to make a little water every day, the pain daily 
decreafing ; and on the 7th fhe voided about a pint. 
Since this, the has often had a fuppreffion of urine 
for ten or fourteen days ; and it once lafted two 
months, during which fhe had no vomiting ; but her 
body was very much fwelled. In July 17,59, accord- 
ing to her own account, fhe did not ufually make 
above half a pint in 24 hours; and fometimes fcarce 
fo much in two days. The catamenia were then ir- 
regular ; her fleep fliort, and diffurbed ; fhe had very 
little appetite ; her legs fwelled ; and the reft of her 
body wafted.
