CASE C.
September 30th. Mr. R——, of W——, Æt. 47. Hydrothorax and anasarca. An Infusion of Digitalis was directed, and after the expected effects from that should take place, sixty drops of tincture of cantharides twice a day. As he was costive, pills of aloes and steel were ordered to be taken occasionally.
This plan succeeded perfectly. About a month afterwards he had some rheumatic affections, which were removed by guiacum.
