March 1753. She was born of this date and was always of a
warm disposition & could ill bear contradiction. ---

Summer 1767 was for some months low spirited which was then
attributed solely to a pretty severe cold she had during that time
but the cold wearing off she recovered her wonted spirits; a
circumstance therefore perhaps unnecessary to have been noticed. ---

May 1769 her menses commenced & the evacuation was exceeding
great, & next month it was no more than common, & from this
time to July --- 70 there was a total suppression of her monthly
periods. ---

July or August 1769. she had contracted a cold & about a month or
after she was bled liberally, the Doctor not being informed
of her monthly obstructions. ---

Novr. 1769 began to fall under a depression of spirits which
increased in Jany. & Feby. 1770 considerably when a Physician was
consulted who besides a regimen, vomiting, & exercise advised a
blister to be applied to the crown of her head.

March 1770 a day or two after the application of the blister her
brain was so much affected that she uttered for some days many
blasphemous expressions, as well as that she despaired of her sal¬
vation & in words was extremely outrageous but not so much in
action. This gradually abated & soon sunk her into a great de¬
pression of spirits still under the panic as to her salvation.
By degrees this wore off and against July 1770 her monthly pur¬

Spring 1771, there was a total suppression (except twice or thrice
at most) till July 1773 notwithstanding that from June to Novr
1772 she was almost every day on horseback riding thro differ[ent]
parts of the country which indeed greatly dispelled the cloud of
her confused ideas & raised her spirits to a tolerable easy medium,
but during this time her stomach was in disorder & she eat very
little. Thus she continued from Novr 1772 with a gradual increase
of her spirits till she went May 1773 to a mineral well &
in July 1773 her period took place. But since then, a total
obstruction till June 1775 which continued for three months {illeg}
thereafter and was in Septr. 1775 again removed but never after.

During the above period from Spring 1771 to July 1773 & ever
after till about July 1776 at any time when her stomach was
in disorder & that she could not eat & her health in some
measure affected thereby she was as sensible & could reason
as justly as ever, her brain {illeg} (was) not affected & her de¬
pression of spirits hardly perceptible. The gloomy notions
concerning her salvation left her, except that she ima¬
gined she was unworthy of attending divine worship.
But on the contrary when that was not the case she had
& still has a great stomach & would attempt any method

April 1776 she returned to the mineral well but without
any affect & since July thereafter has been under a constant
depression of spirits.

Many things have been attempted for her relief too
tedious to mention. She has been sundry times bled
in the ancles, & it appears vitiated. --- has used the
cold bath in Summer for some years past.

March 1778 was electrified 23 different times in little
more than a month -- Every other night she bathes
her limbs & sits over a pail of warm water to have the
benefit of the steam but to no purpose -- She con¬
tinues to get physick to keep her belly open tho
she has little occasion for it.
