_Nov._ 13th. Mrs. A---- of W----h----, AEt. 68. One of those rare cases
in which no urine is secreted. It proved as refractory as usual to
remedies, and not having ever succeeded in the cure of this disease, I
determined to try the Digitalis. It was given in infusion, and, after
a few doses, the secretion of a small quantity of urine seemed to
justify the attempt. The next day, however, the secretion ceased, nor
could it be excited again, tho' at last the medicine was pushed so as
to occasion sickness, which continued at intervals for three days.
