John Orran, was taken ill after dinner, on May 2d, of a coldness and trembling which lasted two hours, all which time his pulse was depress'd and weak; but afterwards he became a great deal hotter, his pulse was quick, he had a great drought, and the fit ended in a sweat that lasted 3 hours.
'Twas evident to me that it was a formed Ague, and because most Spring agues are Tertians, I suspected 〈◊〉〈◊〉 to be so too; yet that we might 〈◊〉〈◊〉 seem to torment him without ••ein•• sick, we delay'd giving him any ••hing till he should have another fit; accordingly on Monday by nine in the morning his fit came violently upon him, and held him as before; and on Wednesday by five in the morning, ••e took 5 grains of Tartarum Emeticum, which vomited him ten times. I did not allow him to drink so large draughts of Water gruel, as I pre∣scribe in continual Fevers; for the reasons I assign, when I speak of Agues in the 2d part of my Sea-sick∣••esses: However, with this severe fit ••e miss'd of his Ague; and next morning he took the following me∣dicin.
℞ Decoct. amar. alterant. cum dupla ••uantitate radic. gentiaan. ℥viij. Bibat ••ras mane; ac repetatur ad vij. alias ••ices.
After he had drank this four or five mornings, he began to recover hi•• colour and flesh, which is always a certain sign of their recovering health.
