this was not long enough to prevent a fecond fever, 
which, I am inclined to believe, the continued ufe 
of the bark would have done, or at leaf! have much 
abated and diorten’d it. However, to guard again# 
this fever, on the 15 day 8 ounces of blood were

perfedt health than before her illnefs, and fo con-
