Case XCV
March 6th. Mrs. W——, Æt. 36. In the last stage of a pulmonary consumption, took the Infus. Digitalis, but without any advantage.
Case XCVI
August 20th. Mr. P——, Æt. 43. In the year 1781 he had a severe peripneumony, from which he recovered with difficulty. At the date of this, when he first consulted me, the symptoms of hydrothorax were pretty obvious. I directed a purge, and then the Infusum Digitalis, three drams to half a pint, one ounce to be taken every four hours. It made him sick, and occasioned a copious discharge of urine. His complaints immediately vanished, and he remains in perfect health.
