[fol. 205] Honored & dear Sr. I received yours. I have not been unmindful of observing the superfice & the bowels too of the earth, since I came into the country. & have collected a good deal in relation to a theory thereof, & a confirmation of what I advancd in the beginning of my Itinerary, of a visible proof of the earths rotation on its axis from view of its surface. but you know well Sr. there is nought to be done by way of publication unless one be in town. I design to be there 2 months every year when I get any preferment in the church. for then I shall abandon practise. for now tho’ I have all the business within 10 miles round & more which you will allow to be fatigue enough. I assure you I dont make above £50 pound of it. I desire to know if you have in your collection a coyn of Claudius the reverse Ceres august, a modius or the like relating to corn. I have one, on which I have wrote a dissertation showing it to belong to the famin in Claudius’s time mentiond by St Luke Acts XI. At this time the living of Allhallows in Stanford is near vacant, the incumbent Mr Rogers is in the last Stadium of a dropsy, & cannot live a quarter of a year, his worth was near £150 pound. I should be well pleasd to have it. I guess there will be great application, it is in the gift of the Crown. I beg Dear Sr. Hans you will exert your interest which I know is very great, in my favor. I guess the only way to secure it, is to be in time enough. I dare say you will be deny’d nothing either of the Court or Courtiers. I design to come up [fol. 204] to town in a very little time, but would have you speak first to present others. I shall watch the opportunity as nicely as is in my power. I am with my heartyest prayers for your health Dear Sr Your most obliged & most obedient servant Wm. Stukeley Grantham Sep. 24. 1729.

Preston sends a box of specimens he has collected. He hopes to collect more, including St. Katharine’s Wort, as it is a great cure of aches and pains. He thanks Sloane for sending the Philosophical Transactions and related news. Preston apologizes for breaks in his correspondence. It is the fault of the postmaster and he is trying to find more reliable means of communication. Preston is sorry to hear of the death of Dr Bernard and has been told his library is to be sold at auction once the catalogues are printed. Preston asks Sloane, Dr Sherard, Mr Doody, ‘& any other of your correspondents to send a few seeds for their garden at Edinburgh.’ Preston was a physician and botanist who established a lengthy correspondence with Sloane, exchanging plants, seeds, books and information. His main interest was in botany, and was well-known by his contemporaries for his botanical knowledge (Anita Guerrini, Preston, Charles (16601711), Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/47084, accessed 18 June 2013]).

Brewer did not receive Sloane’s letter in time to wait on him. He will come to Russell Street soon. He hopes to ‘have samples of all the plants I collected in Wales’ prepared by then. Brewer sent some plant samples to ‘Dr Dil’ (Johann Jacob Dillenius), which has caused a misunderstanding. Dillenius denies the specimens were sent. Some of the plants may have been sent to India House by accident. Brewer requests that Sloane make an inquiry on his behalf to resolve the situation. Samuel Brewer (bap. 1669, d. 1743?) was a botanist. He discovered several plant species that were included in the third edition of John Ray’s ‘Synopsis’, which was published in 1724 (John Martin, ‘Brewer, Samuel (bap. 1669, d. 1743?)’, Oxford Dictionary of National Biography, Oxford University Press, 2004 [http://www.oxforddnb.com/view/article/3366, accessed 8 Aug 2014]).

(f. 223) Cranbrook in Kent Decr ye 29th 1725 Sr A young gentleman, who has been my patient for some time, being desirous of better advice, I thought he could apply himself no where better than to yours. The case has appear’d to me to be as follows. The Gentleman is about 21 years of age. I was first sent for to him in June last, he then complain’d of a dry, husky cough, spitting little or nothing, had a very quick pulse, night sweats though not to any great degree, more feverish a night than a days, some difficulty in breathing, wasting in flesh, appetite as likewise, digestion pretty tollerable, neither stools nor urine much alter’d from a healthy person. I order’d him an Electuary (after a gentle purge) of conserv. Ros. rub. fruct. cynosbat. pulv. Haly & coral.rub. drinking after it a draught of a decoction of sarsa, china, ering. condit. some times with equal parts of warm milk from ye cow, some times alone; as also a linctus for his cough of oyl and pectoral syrup, some times oyl & Diacodium as his cough afflicted him more or less. He found some relief by this but not so much as expected. I then order’d him Dr. Morton’s balsamic pills taking after ym a draught of the decoction of ye cortex in which was boil’d some Balsam of tolu; as also some balsamic lozenges for his cough. These had so good effect as to recover him again to a pretty good state of health, his night sweats went off, as did his fever and quickness of pulse, a little of his cough remain’d but not very troublesome, his appetite & digestion became good, and he rested as well as usual a nights. (f. 223v) In October last I was call’d to him again, I found him in a violent peripneumonick fever, from a cold lately taken as we could judge; his pulse very quick & high, great difficulty of breathing, dry black tongue, a vexatious cough but expectorated very little during ye violence of ye fever or after a very restless nights with sweats now & then toward morning. I order’d him to be let blood immediately, his blood was very sizy, I would have repeated bleeding, but his strength fail’d so fast yt I thought it dangerous to attempt. I order’d him boluses of pulv. e. chel. comp & sperm. ceti. with pectoral decoctions, oyly linctuses, blisters and ye like, ’till I gott ye violence of ye Fever pretty well abated; after that I put him upon drinking Asses milk with testaceous powders & order’d him also a Decoction of ye cortex as before to be taken at stated times between his milk, all wch he continues still to take but not with much success. His quick pulse with hectic heats still remains, as does his dry vexatious cough and some difficulty of breathing, the asses milk seems to agree with his stomach very well, but he getts flesh or strength but very slowly. He sweats a little sometimes towards morning, but sleeps pretty well unless disturb’d by his cough. His stools are & have been very regular. His appetite not very good but what he eats, he seems to digest well enough. I fear these may be Tubercles breeding in his Lungs. This Sr is all yt occurs to me at present of ye case, as having but a very short time allow’d one to write in. However I am particularly glad to have any opportunity of returning you any hearty thanks for ye favour I received from you, when you were pleas’d to give me your advice and recommendation to follow my studies under ye learned Dr Boerhaave at Leyden, which will allways be gratefully remember’d by Sr Yr most oblig’d humble servant W Parker

  • Treatment
    Previous Treatment:

    Ongoing Treatment:

    A second course of treatment, after the patient suffered a relapse in his condition, was that he be blooded - though his physical condition made this only possible once - and given boulses, pectoral decoc, oyly linctuses and blisters. He was also given asses milk to drink.


    Response:

    The patient responded well to the initial course of treatment given in June and seemed to recover his health. A relapse in October saw the same symptoms return with similar intensity. A new course of treatment was provided but not with the success of the previous regimen.
