as the first, with similar effects, but in greater proportion, and 
two evacuations of various colours and very foetid. 
19th. The same dose in the same form; the urine was much 
more abundant than on the two preceding days, and the patient 
reckoned that he had made water about thirty times; the 
sweat was also copious. This day he perceived some power 
of feeling in his skin, which he had lost for some years; he 
had also the same disagreeable sensation in the epigastrium as 
on the first day. 
20th. He took nourishment alone, having risen languid and 
very weak. 
2lst. He took seventy-six grains of Cuichunchulli in the 
same vehicle as before, which gave him four large and very 
foetid stools of unusual colours. The urine and the sweat con-

large tubercle situated over the musculi gemini, (or Ischio- 
Spini-Trochanterianus) of the left hip had disappeared, and 
that a large ulcer which occupied the lower and hinder part

and a part of the hands, and which hitherto had borne a sordid 
inflammatory appearance with some points very putrid, pre-

trization at their edges. It is also to be noted that some is-

which gave out a sanious pus in very small quantity, dis- 
charged this day a very large quantity of good pus. 
22d. Ninety-two grains in wine were given. His colour 
became much less red than it had been; many of the tubercles 
on the face and ears disappeared, and various portions of dried 
skin fell off; the ulcers appeared cicatrized over more than 
the half of their surface, and the issues continued to yield good 
pus abundantly. He had besides eight large stools; the urine 
and sweat continued to increase, as well as the sensibility of 
his skin and the mobility of all his limbs. 
23c?. He took no medicine, but the secretion of urine and 
perspiration continued, though less copiously than the pre-
