_January_ 31st. Mrs. J----, of S----, AEt. 67. A lusty woman, of a
florid complexion, large belly, and very thick legs. She had been kept
alive for some years by the discharge from ulcers in her legs; but the
sores now put on a very disagreeable livid appearance, her belly grew
still larger, her breath short, her pulse feeble, and she could not
take nourishment. Several medicines having been given in vain, the
Digitalis was tried, but with no better effect; and in about a month
she died.
