diforder. Fie found often relief from them, but the 
ailments returned again. The remedy I found the 
moft effectual was my putting him on a milk diet, and 
making him drive hard on a cart every day, forenoon 
and afternoon, which he continued to do for feveral 
weeks. His complaints all decreafed ; and, when he 
was threatened with an attack, a few drops of fpirits 
of hartfhorn and lavendar, or the like, were now 
of fervice to him, which formerly had no effed. In 
fhort, I gave him again animal food, and he kept his 
health pretty well. 
The firft year after this he was always fearful; and 
often complaining, of what appeared to me fmall 
things, but by little and little he got the better of 
thefe alfo. Though he always continued to avoid 
handling metals, minerals, or things painted with 
thefe bodies. When I left Rufha, he was very well ; 
and I have lately heard by a letter that he continues fo ; 
and I believe obferves the fame circumfpedion about 
paints and metals as before.
