Emulsion of turpentine was given every four hours; twelve grains of quinine and astringents were ordered, with Dover's powder at night. Next day the tongue was red at the tip and edges, brown in the centre and slightly moist; the quinine was repeated. He continued in this condition and under treatment by quinine until the 10th, when some cough was recorded. Next day he was dull mentally, and the cough was accompanied with white frothy sputa. No further details are given. He died on the 17th.
