be Tuffocated ; and the two men who helped him 
out, by receiving the foul lie am from the trunk, were 
both let a vomiting lb violently as to bring up blood. 
On the 23 ofAugub, Thomas Wilmot, above men- 
tion’d^ called upon Dr.Knight, and told him, tha% after 
taking the vomit and fudorific, he had immediately reco- 
vei ’d ; but begg'd him to fee his wife, who then lay ill of 
a fever, at his houfe in Snow’s-fields, Southwai k. The 
doctor fufpeding, that this woman’s indifpofitionmight 
be owing to the contagion received from her husband, 
acquainted me with it, and carried me to fee her. 
There we were informed, that Wilmot’s daughter, a 
girl of eight years old, who lay with her parents, had 
been lcized with a fever, foon after her father’s reco- 
very ; that die had been ill about a fortnight, and 
they believed had lpots upon her bread, but that die 
had recover’d without any medicine. That her mo- 
ther had not only nurs’d her, but continued to lie 
with her ; and that fome time after the girl’s reco- 
very, the mother began to complain, and foon after 
fell into a fever ; and that it was the twelfth day 
fince dae was confined to her bed. This woman hav- 
ing the petechia , a dupor, with deafnefs, and a funk 
pulfe, there was no doubt of her being likewife in- 
fedted with the didemper, and probably by her daugh- 
ter. As fhe had been without any abidance, we advifed 
her husband to fend for Mr. Breach, apothecary,- in 
the Borough, who having ferved in the hofpital of 
the army during the war, was well acquainted with 
the nature of fuch fevers ; and having left directions 
with him, we did not return till after the crifis ; 
which happen’d upon the 16 or 17 day from the 
time fhe was confined to her bed.
