continued to rife from bed for a week, and 
baS ever fince ufed himfelf to awake at the fame 
time ; and has not only been entirely free from this 
complaint, and that without any turthei diichaige 
from the hemorrhoidal vcffds ; ' but has got more 
flcfli, and his head-achs are become even incon- 
fidcrable. 
I ought not here to omit, that he Laci a vomit 
given him on the 12th, and twice repeated, at the 
intervals ot three or four days. 
As the patient, from a former haemiplagia, had, 
in all probability, many parts of his body rendered 
leis irritable than is natural ; and as be conftantly 
flept profoundly, and the haemoptoe always awaked 
him after four hours flcep ; I was led to conclude, 
that, during this deep, the lungs were not diffidently 
fenfible to pudi forwards the whole circulation ; and 
and that hence the blood, gradually accumulated, 
ruptured fome minute branches of the pulmonary 
artery, before the uneadnefs became great enough to 
awake the patient. And, as much as the evidence 
of a dngle cafe in medicine may be eflimated, the 
fiaccefsful cure would feem to evince the truth of this 
dodrine. 
I have only to add, that the anxiety, with which 
patients reduced to great weaknefs awake from their 
deep, and the hurried pulie, have, by others, been 
obferved to be owing to an accumulation or blood in 
the lungs, during their {fate of decreafed fenfibility . 
And how detrimental, in thefe cafes, might be the 
adminiffration of opium, or nitre j whilft the want 
of deep, or the recurring haemorrhage, might feem, 
to the unwary praditioner, to need their adiftance.
