N^o7. Jean Martin at 5.

In this case another example of Scrofula.

And in many respects a more favourable one.

For here according to account given us no grounds for suspecting it hereditary.

And if our intelligence to be [relied] on was entirely effect of an accident.

At any rate is still at utmost a very local disease.

But at same time cannot be considered as slight or transitory.

Nor can we with any propriety apply to it, a term used by some practical writers that viz of Scrofula fugax.

For has not only continued during whole of Summer, but has also in that time resisted two very powerful modes of cure, Sea Bathing & Cicuta.

This therefore also look upon as good case for trial of Muriated Barytes

But on account of tender age of patient have here begun it in still small dose

And even in this quantity, according to mothers account at first excited some sickness at stomach

This however has now left her.

And is intention to persist in it gradually increasing quantity as finds she can bear it

But as in the case nothing urgent shall be anxious to avoid giving any inconvenience from use.

More observed afterwards.
