Diagnosis
Giddiness.

Treatment
Previous Treatment:
Pye's wife had previously gone through a course of treatment for giddiness, which he describes as such: 'She was cupped, and took a gentle vomit of oxymel scillis, and after that a cephalick electuary with sterc. pavon. and an infusion of steel with spec. diambr'.
Ongoing Treatment:
Response:The course of treatment was of 'great benefit' to Pye's wife in the spring. So much so that they think it may not be necessary to repeat this fall.
