I then gave it some floor sad milk, and contiutied giving it
the same food fur several days, but it never appeared right

very bad in its inside, and continued convulsed with the

but three times as I know of; on Thursday morning he
ordered the child to have a wet eerie; one was procured.
and it took the breast milk at first freely. Ide not recollect

I hastened the surgeon of the circumstance, and he said the
child wouhl out live ; I thee fed it with tops and bottoms ;
it continued ill, and on Sunday it got worse; the stoves
gave it some medicines, and about eight o'clock at eight
it died. Prior to its death its shrieks and convulsions were
