_October_ 22d. Master B----, AEt. 3. Ascites and universal anasarca.
Half a grain of Fol. Digital. siccat. given every six hours, produced

the dried leaf was then tried, a dram to four ounces, two tea
spoonfuls for a dose; this soon increased the flow of urine to a very
great degree, and he got perfectly well.
