I have been very ill for these Six weeks past, and tho' I am now
far out of danger, I am still obliged to keep my Room, I had first
a Cold & slight Feaver, then a pain on my right side, which,
as I had many Simptoms that made me believe my Blood
was in a bad state, induced me to be blooded; my Blood,
thicker and blacker than ever I saw Blood before, I let
run two Soup plates full, and then, as I was near
fainting, the Surgeon stop'd it — since that my side
swelled as if i had strained myself, but the acute
Pain went away; I have been taking Medicine to
purify my Blood, near 30 drops of Sulphur, & for a
long time 5 or 6 Tumblers of a Decoction of Sassafras &
Sarsaparilla every day, and at the same time I keep a
strict Diet. one day when I thought I might begin to
strengthen myself I eat a very little Fish, and, in the Course
of the day, drank 3 very small dishes of Chocolate, on the
Evening the pain was so great in my side, that I could
not keep from Crying out every Minute; all Night I had
no Sleep, and it was not till the night following that I
had any Ease.
Octr. 31st I cannot say I am as yet recovered, the swelling
at my side from which my Surgeon expected there would
