Case VII

Mrs. P——, in her 70th year, took three grains of the powder twice a day, for scantiness of urine, and swelled legs, without effect.

Case VIII

Ann Winterleg, in her 26th year, had dropsical swellings of the legs, and passed little urine: she was relieved by two drams, in an eight ounce decoction.

Case IX

William Brown, aged 76. In the last stage of dropsy of the belly and legs, found a considerable increase of his urine by a decoction of Foxglove, but it was not permanent.
