_January_ 1st. Mrs. G----, of H----, AEt. 62. Ascites and very large
hard legs. After trying various medicines, under the direction of a
very able physician, I ordered her to take one grain of Pulv.
Digital. every six hours, but it produced no effect. Other Medicines
were then tried to as little purpose. About the end of _February_, I
directed an infusion of the Fol. Digital. but with no better success.
Other methods were thought of, but none proved efficacious, and she
died a few weeks afterwards.
