3 A sister of the young Shabert was troubled for many years
4 with a megrim. This evil was accompanied with a nervous pain
5 in the face, which math itself sensible at intervals of three or
6 four days, in the early part of the day, like a disguised fever,
7 in the moment of one of these paroxysms, ! administered to her
8 a dost'of ptdsatilla; but afterwards she became so much worse,
9 that her husband, Signor Salzani, came to me at ten o’clock :>.t
10 night, in great alarm, to tell me that his wife had become almost
