nfuls of Mountain Wine
every two Hours. On the 24th, he had several loose Stools. The 25th,
he was still loose, and went on as before, with the Addition of six
Grains of the _Pilulae saponaceae_ in the Evening. The 26th, the
Petechiae were not so apparent as before, but he had still the nervous
Symptoms, and his Breathing grew more difficult; and therefore a
Blister was applied between his Shoulders, and his Medicines
continued; as they were likewise on the 27th, without any Alteration
in the Symptoms. On the 28th, his Tongue became moister, and the
Pulse, which had been low and quick the four preceding Days, became
fuller and slower. On the 29th, he was much more sensible, his Tongue
more moist, and the Twitchings of the Tendons much less; and in the
Evening he fell into a profuse Sweat, which lasted all the 30th. On
the 1st of _March_, his feverish Symptoms were much abated, his Pulse
was calmer, his Skin moist, his Drought less, and his Urine dropt a
plentiful Sediment. On the 2d, his Fever was almost entirely gone, but
he had still a Cough, and spit up a viscid Matter. He was ordered to
go on as before, with the Addition of two Spoonfuls of the _Sperma
Ceti_ Mixture, and the _Spiritus Mindereri_, when his Cough was
troublesome. He followed this Course till the 7th, when, his Cough and
Fever being gone, he was ordered a Dose of Tincture of Rhubarb; after
which he recruited his Strength daily, without the Assistance of any
more Medicines.

of Foot Guards, was seized with the same Symptoms as _Robert Wilson_
had been in the Beginning of his Fever, but in a more violent Degree.
He was blooded to about twelve Ounces, and was ordered a saline
Draught every six Hours. On the 6th, the Blood, which had been drawn
the Day before, had thrown up a slight Buff; it appeared to contain
but a small Proportion of Serum, and the Crassamentum was of a loose
Texture. The feverish Symptoms had increased, with the Addition of a
Delirium: pergat. On the 7th, the Delirium was grown more violent, so
that he could scarce be kept in Bed; his Breathing was difficult, his
Eyes red and florid: A Blister was applied to his Back, and the saline
Mixture continued. On the 8th, there was no Alteration in the Course
of that Day; but being lower towards Night, Blisters were applied to
his Legs, and he was ordered to have a Pint of Wine allowed him in
twenty-four Hours. On the 9th,
