Sir


Since I wrote you last, I gave Mr.
Sanderson the third Dose on sunday, it
sweated him
very well for Eleven hours
without any great uneasyness, only that
about six hours after he took it, he
Vomited three Different Times
, altho'
he had not Drank to any success, he
still finds the Pains rather farther
down his shoulders & Arms, he is ex¬
cessive low
, his stomack very weak,
can take nothing but brings on an
Inclination to Vomit, he has no
appetite

he, has a great Wearyness & inclines
much to Lay in bed, he has taken an
Aversion to the Powder


I am Sr
Your very humble Servant
