Case of Mr. Mackenzie
Mr. Mackenzie was about six Weeks past seized with a
throngness in his Breast and an Astma -- Upon which
he wrote for the Jamaica Nut Oil as it usd to give him
Relief but it had little or no Effect -- He then got a
Surgeon to attend him for some days who gave him Medicines
that afforded him some Ease; But since the Surgeon left
him he has relapsed, and is at present very ill with a Cough
& Astma attended with a Press of Vomiting and throws up
Blood sometimes with the Stress of the Cough -- He
has also got a Swelling in all his Body down to his
Toes and before the Swelling came on he had a great Hook
in all his Body - He has also a pain that never moves
in the lower part of his Stomach. -- The Surgeon that
attended him from Inverness thinks that his Complaint may
land in a Gout, but others rather think its a Dropsy. --
- The Surgeon removd him for the Change of Air to the Sea
Coast, and he applyd strong Vomits & Blisters which operated
well, tho Since he left him is rather worse. -- The Doctors written
Opinion is wanted to be sent the Surgeon who will furnish
him with such Medicines as the Doctor may prescribe from
the forsaid short Account of his Case. ---
