tt nighr, when her arm was become vaftly painful,* 
her fingers trembled and drew up a little, and the 
infide of the fore arm felt all knotty, and as if the 
mufcles there were drawn like cords, and the whole 
hand and arm was fore. In this cafe I would have had 
feme blood taken immediately from that arm; but upon 
inquiry I found her menfes were upon her fince the 
electrifying in the morning. I therefore only ordered 
a blifter above the elbow of that arm, and a propor- 
tionate quantity of tinCtura Thebaica to be added to 
the linimentum faponaceum, with which her fore 
arm and hand were to be well rubbed. Thefe ap- 
plications foon took off the threatning fymptoms, 
and next morning file was eafy ; the knots in her 
arm almoft quite difappeared, and file could move 
her fingers very well. She was electrified the 
fecond day about ten minutes, but no longer, as it 
feemed unneceflary ; and from this time was elec- 
trified no more, but continued the anodyne liniment 
every day, with the ufe of the flefia-brufii, for about 
ten or twelve days longer, when fhe appeared per- 
fectly well as before, and her fingers could be ufed 
and moved with eafe. Neverthelefs, to prevent a 
return, I directed an ififue to be cut in that arm, and 
worn conftantly, which file had done, and file had 
alfo a firengthening plaifter about her wrift, as the 
faid that was weaker than it fiiould be. This was the 
whole of her treatment. She was kept a patient here 
till this day, March 20, when, as her diforder has 
no more returned, and fhe can move her fingers per- 
fectly well, fhe was difeharged from hence cured. 
I will not weary you with remarks upon this cafe, 
nor on the ftrong hints it affords of the wonderful 
force.
