_April_ 24th. Mr. M----, of C----, AEt. 57. Asthma, anasarca, jaundice,
and great hardness and straitness across the region of the stomach.
After a free exhibition of neutral draughts, alkaline salt, &c. the
dropsy and difficult breathing remaining the same, he took Infusum
Digitalis, which removed those complaints. He never lost the hardness
about his stomach, but enjoyed very tolerable health for three years
afterwards, without any return of the dropsy.
