_Copy of the separate Paper before mentioned._
Robert Haigs, of Coldinghame, a labouring man of about 45, after having
been for ten days ill of a regular tertian ague, at my desire underwent
the electrical shocks in the common way. After having received about
thirty or forty very severe ones, he grew pale, and staggering for
several steps, would have fallen down, had he not been supported. He
then fell into a sweat, which continued near half an hour. I desired
him to come back the next morning, immediately before the fit, which
he said came on about ten o’clock. He accordingly came, and told me he
had not the usual symptoms preceding the fit. He was that day again
strongly electrised; and has been without any aguish symptom ever
since; _viz._ for the space of four months.
The truth of this is attested by
ROBERT HAIGS, _the person cured_.
ROBᵗ. BRYDONE, _Minister of Coldinghame_.
Ann Torry, of Coldinghame, a young woman of about 20, had a regular
tertian (being the first time she ever had the ague) for near a
fortnight. The fit came on early in the morning. She was electrised on
her well day in the afternoon; and the next morning, having had only a
slight shivering, she was electrised again about ten o’ clock, and has
had no symptom of the ague since; _viz._ for three months.
The above is attested by
ANN TORRY, _the person cured_.
ROBᵗ. BRYDONE, _Minister of Coldinghame_.
