answers,
1. The Complaints of pains in my back have only been
about four or five weeks since
2d. The Evacuations were often in dreams but since March last
I observed a gleet on every Erection & some times at Stool
3d. I have made no Observations on Meats & drinks, having
lived in my ordinary; but since the pains Seized me
have often taken Strong broths which I think has given
me some Ease
4 I cannot say I ever observ'd what kinds of suppers produced
Dreams
5 As I have been all this Summer afflicted with gleets
I do not know what effect the winter may have
if I had any gleets before this Summer was insensible
of it --- I observed no Effects on exercise
6 This Summer I have been often Seized with a burning
on my hands & heat with lowness of Spirits
which I take to have been the Effect of Evacuations
7 This Summer went several times into the water to swim
but never observed my Self the better of it ---
never used the Cold Bath.
