For the Revd. Mr Harrison.
The case is singular & what I cannot explain in
any manner to satisfy myself. All I can say is,
that in the present state of it there is a singular
laxity in the Alimentary canal that allows of that
preternatural & sudden intumescence. I should treat
it by Chalybeates & particularly by the Tinctura
Martis Pharmacopoeia Edimburgensis which may be taken from
20 to 30 drops in water three or four times a day.
