Note * Mr George Angle, shore keeper in George town Danerara, of a spare consumptive habit told me, he had laboured under a severe Cough, with purulent spitting and hectic emaciation. He had tried without advantage a great variety of medicines, & being reduced almost to a skeleton, his case was considered hopeless He was advised by those who had witnessed the success of Haiowa in similar Cases, to give it a trial. He took a teaspoon full of the recent, fluid balsam twice or thrice a day in new milk; continuing it for about 3 or 4 weeks, he recovered sound health, said he took no other remedy; but only used some ptisans, as barley water, milk, and a bland diet, to which for a long time previously he had been whiched.

The Case of Mr Baeker of Essequibo was one of a similar kind, and so far advanced that his acquaintance considered his restoration almost as a miracle. After being given over he said by the faculty: a cure was effected by taking the Haiowa with milk, and the use of barley, as a diet.
