• Diagnosis

  Blindness (see ff. 118, 120).

• Treatment
  Previous Treatment:
  Ongoing Treatment:

  Sloane prescribed an unknown treatment which was acceptable to Farrington. The daughter had been taking them for two weeks. She was first bleeded, then purged, then blistered. She took the electuary and julep. Wanted to know what Sloane recommended now.

  
  Response:

  His daughter seemed to find the remedies agreeable. She found her head clearer "and the Load she hath had above the eyes taken off she seems her eyes are something clearer then they were (the mist before them not being soe thick as before but seems brighter)." The greatest change was in the worst eye.
