| October 3d. The Wind W. & by S. blowing fresh dark and cloudy with some driveing showers morning and Evening; Staid here to day at my Sister's desire, Dr. Robert Owen of Presaddfed came here in the Evening & prescribed for her, but am afraid did not understand her distemper, for what she has taken hitherto of what he has prescribed has done her no good,her distemper which is a sick stomach with violent vomitings being not in the least removed; was very bad this Evening with vomiting. I persuaded her to take 3 or 4 spoonfulls of minth water with about the same quantity of Tincture of Poppies sweetened with Syrrop of Damsons at going to rest, that gave her great Ease & she rested this night very well after it. |
