9th. He had five stools; his neausea much abated; and a gentle diaphoresis continued. 10th. The singultus ceased; his vomiting very little; his pulse low, accelerated, and thread-like in its stroke; his purging violent; and he greatly complained of a most acute pain of the wounded parts. A paper of the following absorbent powders was given him every three hours in rice-water. Crabs-eyes and red coral prepared, of each one drachm, crude opium two grains: these were made for three doses, and given as above. 11th. He slept well; less pain; pulse more equal; his diarrhæa much the same. 12th. The threads, with which I had made the suture of the intestine, came out of themselves: the wound well-conditioned; fever very little; his diarrhæa rather increased. He sent for me in the evening, being much alarmed, as he thought some liquids he had taken to have passed thro’ the wounded parts. 13th. Yesterday he complained of great pains in his belly: the discharge from his wound was laudable matter, and in good quantity. 14th. He rested well, and was seemingly well beyond expectation. His diarrhæa still continuing troublesome, he took the hartshorn decoction, with an addition of diascordium. 15th. I cut off the threads of the external wound, and continued dressings of digestive in the common method. 16th. He grew visibly better each day after; and on Sept. 7th I discharged him from any further attendance, his wound being intirely healed over, and he is in all respects very well, free from pain, or any inconvenience from the wound. He was kept seven and twenty days on chicken-broth, and never admitted to use any solids during that time: afterwards he was indulged with young chickens, &c. VII. _An Account of a Visitation of the leprous Persons in the Isle of_ Guadaloupe: _In a Letter to Mons._ Damonville, _Counsellor and Assistant-Judge at_ Martinico, _and in the Office of King’s Physician at_ Guadaloupe. _By_ John Andrew Peyssonel, _M.D. F.R.S. Translated from the_ French. [Read Feb. 3, 1757.] +SIR+, I Received the letter, which you honoured me with, and the order for visiting the persons afflicted with the leprosy. I was sensible of the misfortune of being ordered upon that commission: I say misfortune; for such you will perhaps think it, when you have read this letter.
