grew thinner, her complexion altered, and her fkin be- 
came dry. About the beginnning of February lad:, 
fhe was attacked with the jaundice, and took to her 
bed. Though fhe was now fo helplefs, as hardly to

her old cuftom of dram-drinking, and generally 
fmoaked a pipe every night. No one lived with her

night, commonly, though not always, a perfon fat 
up with her ; to whom die has often cried out, that

was hung on the fide next the window, to prevent 
the light being troublefome. She was accuftomed 
to lye upon her fide,, clofe to the edge of the bed- 
dead, next the fire; and on Sunday morning, March 
the id, tumbled upon the door, where her helplefs 
date obliged her to lye fome time, till Mary Holl- 
yer, her next neighbour, came accidentally to fee 
her. With fome difficulty Ihe got her into bed. 
The fame night, though die was advifed to it, fhe 
ref ufed.
