den flops, and fevere pains. However, taking the pre- 
caution of going by water as far as the Old Swan, 
and being carried from thence in a chair as far as 
Whitechapel, I ventur’d in a chariot, fitted up with 
the bed French fprings, to go into the country with 
Mrs. Walpole about midfummer lad : but before I 
had got half way to Epping, tho’ the horfes went but 
a gentle pace, I felt as great unealinefs, attended 
with the fame fevere fymptoms, as I had ever done ; 
which frequently returned, and continued upon me 
during the whole journey for four days together, with 
little or no abatement, except while I was in bed ; 
whereas formerly, after I had lain fome time, I was 
perfectly eafy the whole night. In lighting from my 
coach, upon my arrival at my houfe in the country, 
I had indeed a cruel dt ; but after I had reded one 
night, and kept myfelf as quiet as poflible for feve- 
ral days, I found myfelf perfectly well again ; and 
as I never went in a coach, and did not walk much, 
during my whole day in the country lad year for 
about five months together, I never felt the lead 
fymptom of uneafinefs. 
A few days before I left the country in November 
lad, I took a turn or two round my park in my 
chariot, free from pain; which encouraged me to 
undertake a journey to town again in my chariot, by 
fhort dages, and gentle driving ; and it was perform’d 
in five days to Whitechapel, without my being fenfi- 
ble of the lad inconvenience any part of the way ; 
neither have I felt any fince my arrival in town ; 
and I continue well, taking daily, as I have con- 
dantly done from the time I went lad into the 
country, the full quantity of foap and lime-water, as 
formerly I took.
