Patient Details

• Patient info
  Name: Hon. Robert Sawyer Herbert
  Gender:
  Age:
• Description

  Did not find in his excrement the egg-like items he had previously seen. Bowels disordered and loose. Normally no more than two stools a day, but now very frequent. No pain at the time, but felt like guts coming away too. Became pale, with sunk spirits after each bowel movement.

• Diagnosis
• Treatment
  Previous Treatment:
  Ongoing Treatment:

  He was taking spa water but stopped because it disagreed with him. He continued to take the electuary and has ordered Bristol water but would not take it until Sloane agreed.

  
  Response:

  He also had a cold which led to swollen gums and an unpleasant taste in his mouth. Later his gums also appeared blacker than usual. He wondered if the illness of his bowels had traveled to his gums.
