Kvbo bad the Small Pox during Pregnancy. 129 
In the evening (viz. the 8th) the fmall pox appeared, 
which proved of a mild kind, and moderate in quantity. 
Its progrefs was rather flower than might have been ex- 
pected; but the woman pafl'ed through the difeafe in great 
ipirits, fitting up the greatefl part of the day during the 
whole time, and taking only a paregoric at night, and, as

were mitigated, and the cough at laft became very little

the 27th as her particular fituation would admit of; 
after which fhe was not vifited by Mr. grant till the 
31ft, when flie was in labour.
