  December 8th. A man about fifty years of age, who had formerly been a builder, but was now uch reduced in his circumstances, complained to me of an asthma which first attacked him about the latter end of autumn. His breath was ver y short, his countenance was sunken, his belly large; and, upon examination, a fluctuation in it was ver y perceptible. His urine for some time past had been small in quantity. I directed a decoction of Fol. Digital. recent. which made him ver y sick, the sickness recurring at inter vals for several days, uring which time he made a large quantity of water. His breath gradually drew easier, his belly subsided, and in about ten days he began to eat with a keen appetite. He afterwards took steel and bitters.
