An example of prof. menst. disch prod of some disag. sympt.

And from which if had contin still more to be appreh.

Here even from circum of case could have no diffic in concl. [that] Meanorrh. merely of passive kind.

And this still more demonstr. by cause from which origin.

Viol. exert. viz in raising a heavy weight.

From this however greater hopes of recov. than if had reason to inferr, that dep. on encr. action of vessels.

And from effect which at last report introd into our register, found to result from remedy empl. reason to hope that may [here] recov.

For effecting this prin obj seemd to be the restor of due vig & tone to [rupt.] vessels.

And with this intent had recour to employm of Peruv. Bark.

Might indeed have here empl. astring more [enn] in action.

But from sudden check of disch. to which syst has long be accust. even where is of passive kind, incon incon often result.

This therefore a reason, not only for making choice of Peruv. Bark, but also for using it only, in small doses.

And if pat. contin attend hope that by persisting in these health may soon be restored.

If does not attend, shall concl. that desert. proceeds from having no more occas for assist.
