The 2nd of August a sailor, Philippus de Voogd, came to me with complaints. He had headaches and felt thirsty and I concluded that he had an infectious disease. I purged the body with ten scruples of pills (Prescription 10) and a pulverized anti-fever (Prescription 5), But because he was also vomiting, I purged his body with a emetic, and afterwards with a laxative leaf. After that the vomiting stopped and the fever went away. In the morning I gave him a health elixir and he was again recovered on September 6th and he took his shift back up.
