ion who has loft his fenfes by liquor, as Toon as he 
recovers, is perfectly well acquainted with every 
thing he knew before : but the cafe was very different 
with me, for the furniture of my room, and almoft 
every other objedt on which I caft my eyes, ap- 
peared as ftrange, and new to me, as if I had only 
that moment begun my exiftence ; and though I 
could remember the name of any thing when I 
looked at it, -yet it was not without inveftigating its 
nature, that I could difcover its ufe. 
I had been put to bed when I vomited, and I 
know not whether it was owing to it, or the 
camphire, but I had now a fevere head-ach, which 
difturbed me not a little all the evening. Between 
ijve and fix o’clock I arofe, and drank a bowl of 
tea, and the diluted juice of fome more lemons and 
oranges. The giddinefs in my head. Tinging in my 
ears, excefiive heat and tremor, which I had felt fo 
feverely before, were now confiderably abated, 
though far from being intirely gone off. About 
feven o’clock, I had another vifit from Dr. Monro, 
who, upon numbering my pulfations, found they 
were now reduced from one hundred to eighty j in a 
minute after this, the thermometer was applied to my 
ftomach, and in half an hour the mercury arofe two 
degrees above blood-warm ; it was then removed 
from my ftomach to the Doftor’s, and the mercury 
fell more than one degree. 
Between eight and nine o’clock, though I was 
confiderably better, I ftill felt an uneafinefs of body, 
and a confufion of mind, which it is impoflible to 
defcribe ; on account of which, I went to bed, and 
very foon fell into a calm and foft repofe, which 
continued.
