During use also circumstances hitherto at least favourable.

For only fit which has had, since begun use, a very slight one.

And intervals considerably longer than formerly.

This then sufficient inducement to persist in employment.

And whether in end shall be ultimately successful or not, have yet I am inclined to think, both in this, & in preceding case, examples of influence of Cuprum Ammoniala as giving temporary mitigation of affection.
