_January_ 29th. Mrs. O----, of D----, AEt. 53. A constant and
distressing palpitation of her heart, with great debility. From a
degree of anasarca in her legs I was led to suspect effusion in the
Pericardium, and therefore directed Digitalis, but it produced no
benefit. She then took various other medicines with the same want of
success, and about ten months afterwards died suddenly.
