first stage her urine was deepley tinged
with blood which continued for about
6 weeks and since has been in her [ordy?]

in voiding urine and often very sick
still wh within these few days it has[e?]
returned & still continues but not so
bad by appearence as at first tho'
attended with more pain, weakness &
sickness she being often obliged to go
to bed for ease 5 or 6 times a day [which?] (↑being↑)

in her left leg which is very painfull

her being so much waisted with
that complaint and that leg being
weakned by a long running which was
occassioned by a cut she got going over
a stone dyke in her young days.
