Miss M---- M----, in her 20th year. Had been infirm from her cradle,
and, after various sufferings, had an astonishing oedematous
swelling of one leg and thigh, of many weeks standing. She passed
little or no urine, and had all her other complaints. She took 2
spoonfuls of an eight oz. decoction of two drams, twice a day. Her
urine immediately increased; and, on the third day, the swelling had
entirely subsided.
