long time ago, but it healed." The circumstance was never again mentioned to him, and he died in total ignorance of the cause of his malady. The wounds were perfectly cicatrised, and there was not the least action going on indicative of recent absorption. He bore the bleeding pretty quietly: 40℥. were removed, which on cooling presented strong marks of inflammation. Ordered ℳiv. Acid. Hydrocyan. omni horâ, in a little water. Twelve o'clock.--With much difficulty he has taken two doses of the acid; pulse full and hard, 110. 30℥. more blood were removed. Three o'clock.--Has taken two more doses; complains of a dreadful sense of suffocation, and implores that nothing more may be given him. Pulse full, and beating at 120 to 130. Continue the acid. Eight o'clock.--Pulse full and hard. Has taken in all 24ℳ. of the acid, but so painfully distressing has the deglutition now become, that all attempts at repeating his medicine are discontinued. V. S. ad ℥xxx. During the bleeding he looked wildly at the basin, and begged that no more might be spilt (a drop or two had fallen), repeating frequently, in great agitation, as the blood was running, "Take care! take care!" Between two and three o'clock next morning my assistant (Mr. Davies) visited him. He found him tolerably passive, but observing every movement with intense anxiety. Pulse full and hard, face flushed, eyes denoting cerebral irritation. He had been at times outrageous. On its being intimated that bleeding was again necessary, a paroxysm came on more intense than any preceding,--and with great effort he submitted. As the blood flowed he became more and more alarmed, till at length he got quite unmanageable; he raged violently at his nephew, who was holding the basin, and ordered it peremptorily to be removed. 30 or 40℥. were taken away. It was found necessary to put on the straight waistcoat. About four o'clock Mr. Davies wished him to take some more of his medicine. He said, "I can take no more," and on reaching the bottle to put out a few drops, he became violently agitated, threw himself from side to side, and, as well as the incessant spasmodic sobbings would allow, he begged that not one more drop of any thing might be offered him, and that the bottle might be taken from his sight. He did not become tranquillized until its removal. He lingered on till ten A.M. in the same state, a few minutes before which he insisted on getting up, and walked a short way down his garden, returned, laid down on his bed, and died.
