No25. January 20^th. 1790.

Robert Milln. at 42 by trade a brewer, complains of severe cough, dyspnoea & pain of breast.

And is at times affected with copious bloody expectoration. He sleeps ill from the severity of the cough, & he often sweats in the night.

Pulse 76 & full. Tongue foul appetite tolerably good, belly regular.

He attributes his complaints to exposure to cold about four months ago which produced the usual symptoms of cough hoarseness etc, & a few weeks after these began, he perceived the bloody expectoration. He has taken some pectoral remedies such as the infusion of ground ivy, but without any apparent benefit.
