_January_ 14th. Mr. B----, of D----. Jaundice and ascites, the
consequences of great intemperance. Extremely emaciated; his tongue
and fauces covered with apthous crusts, and his appetite gone. He
first took tincture of cantharides with infusum amarum, then vitriolic
salts, and various other medicines without relief; Infusum Digitalis
was given afterwards, but was equally unsuccessful.
