In about a quarter of an hour I found he had reached the place of appointment, by the assistance of a neighbour, and was sitting on a bench, complaining of great weakness, and pain in his loins; which he described, by saying he felt as if he was cutting in two; but allowed that his head was easier since he had been in the air. Finding that he had had a stool the preceding day, but none since, I gave him a pill, containing about six grains of calom. and 1/8 gr. of emet. tartar, immediately; and as he complained of great thirst, I permitted him to drink half a pint of cold water after it. I advised him not to sit, but to endeavour to walk about a little, though ever so slowly; this he attempted, but went almost double. At this time the weather was not very cold, but there was a pretty brisk wind, with small rain. About a quarter of an hour after, I saw him again. He had resolutely persisted in following my directions, and said his head was greatly relieved, but the pain in his back and loins was much the same. His pulse was now much altered; instead of being full and strong as before, it was low, but quick, and the heat on the skin greatly abated. As he seemed much fatigued, I did not insist on his keeping abroad longer, but permitted him to go home, desiring him to refresh himself, but not to pull off his cloaths, or go into bed. At two o’clock I saw him again; his pill had then worked twice; he seemed fatigued and faint, but was abroad, for he said the air refreshed him, and his head was easier in the air than within, so that as soon as he was a little rested he came out by choice. The pain in his loins still remained very grievous, but his head was much easier; and his back and loins became less painful towards evening. I allowed him to go to bed about seven; but being desirous of observing the full effect of this kind of treatment, I ordered no medicine. 25th. Had but little rest, and his complaints nearly the same as when he went to bed. His pulse was now raised, and more full than in the evening, and the degree of heat greater than over night. A few small pustules were now beginning to shew themselves on his face; I directed a purging draught of infusion of sena and manna, quickened with jalap; advised him to get out of bed, and venture again into the air. This he did: by two o’clock the purge had worked thrice, and he was freer from the pain in his back and loins: more pustules now appeared in the face, but scarce any on the limbs. He had hitherto taken nothing since his first seizure, but tea with milk, sage and balm tea, loathing all other nourishment. He persisted in keeping out the greatest part of the afternoon; and at seven went to bed, when I found the pulse more calm and regular, and as his complaints were less violent, he began to think of nourishment.
