Francis Cruikshank. at 20

Has an intermittent of the quartan type, with which she was seized at Chatham in Kent about 18 months ago. Since its first attack she has been once free from it about 6 weeks & this happened without the use of any medicines. It returned after exposure to cold from a march & has ever since recurred at regular periods.

Pulse at present about 80 very small & feeble. Tongue white but moist. Belly & Catamenia regular. Her appetite is very bad on the day of the fit, at other times tolerable. She is very thirsty during the paroxysm & is then also affected with sickness & severe pains in her loins. She never sweats after the hot stage, at present complains of great general debility. She has taken a small quantity of Bark without relief & took a vomit about two hours before the last paroxysm which was yesterday about one p.m. & was more severe than common.
