This complaint of Cholera Morbus may proceed to a very painful degree?—It may kill.

Is it a very painful complaint?—It is a very distressing complaint.

Do you apprehend that a purgative medicine would be a proper medicine for a person in that situation, supposing it to have been Cholera Morbus?—There were no symptoms of Cholera Morbus when I saw Mrs. Downing; but from what I heard of her complaint, I imagined that there was something offensive either in the stomach or bowels, which ought to be evacuated.

Were ten drops of laudanum a proper thing to give her?—It is sometimes given to allay the irritation of those parts.
