1. That it was only in the Morning, that she Vomited up Nails, &c. and scarce did any thing in the Afternoon.
2. I found by Enquiry, that she always slept with her Mouth open, and could not help it, and when asleep, she could not be awakened either by calling, jogging or pulling of her, for some considerable time; though at the same time, she fetched such deep and painful Groans, as if she were awaked, and sensible of her sad Condition.

3. For my Farther Satisfaction, I got some at my own Charge to sit up at Nights with her, and watch her Mouth, and to see it was kept close shut. Whilst this was done, the Vomiting of Nails ceased, and that for thirteen Nights Successively; but when it was neglected, she would be sure to bring up something of Nails, or some such stuff. I then had her lodged at a Neighbours House, to see whether her Vomiting of ⟨p. 79⟩Nails would totally cease, but it did not. For coming one day to my House, to refresh her self, she had not bin there two Hours, before she began to be ill, we immediately gave her some Beer, and she Vomited up a great board Nail. Some time after this, she threw up a great piece of Brass, which I saw followed with much Blood, and she being extremely weakened with striving, and falling into a Fit, I caused a Woman to open her Mouth, who took out as much Blood, as she could hold in the hollow of her hand.
