_June_ 27th. Mr. W----, AEt. 37. An apparently asthmatic affection,
gradually increasing for three or four years, which not yielding to
the usual remedies, he took the infusion of Digitalis. Two or three
doses made him very sick; but he thought his breathing relieved. After
one week he took it again, and was so much better as to want no other
medicine.
In the course of the following winter he became hectic, and died
consumptive about a year afterwards.
