LXXIX.
Edward Wyke Gentleman, of the Parish of St. Margarets West∣minster, much troubled with the Spleen and Colic, came to Bath 23 of July 1688; so full of pain and very weak that he went crooked, scorched with a conti∣nual Feaver and great Thirst; drank the waters from the Kings Bath, dry pump, as much as he could well bear for many days, after one month past he drank further on, and by long and con∣stant drinking the waters without certain doses recovered perfectly on the place. For which so sur∣prizing a benefit, the pious Man gave publick Thanks to GOD the great reliever in all diseases, and supreme Physician of Man∣kind, in the Church of St Peter Page 68and Paul in Bath, 22 September 1688, and gratefully desired this remembrance.
Note.
In this Gentleman, 'tis very re∣markable the Bath water did not pass the common way by Ʋrine or Stool, but chiefly by Sweat; and that he was never above once or twice in the Bath.
