_January_ 3d. Mrs. B----, AEt. 53. Ascites, anasarca, and jaundice.
After a purge of calomel and jallap, was ordered the Infusion of
Digitalis: it acted kindly as a diuretic, and greatly reduced her
swellings. Other medicines were then administered, with a view to her
other complaints, but to no purpose, and she died about a month
afterwards.
