Is affected with vomiting of every kind of food, which is rejected in mouthfuls soon after it is taken with a sour & bitter taste. She is troubled with flatulence in the bowels which she in general passes downwards but her stomach does not swell after eating. A piece of beef stake is almost the only thing that will sit upon her stomach & even this is thrown up if she takes anything liquid soon after it. Her breakfast does not stay a minute with her She retains her dinner a little longer & if she goes to bed immediately after supper the food which she takes is not rejected. Pulse, Tongue Belly & Appetite natural. She is not thirsty sleeps well, & her general health seems but little affected. Her stools are natural both in colour & consistence.

Her vomiting unattended with any pain They began on the 3^d of January without any obvious cause, but the matter vomited was not acid or bitter, till within this last fortnight. She has taken Chamomile Tea, Peppermint water, Ipecacuanha, Rhubarb, & the bitter infusion with Tincture Aromatic without any relief. She has never passed any worms
