The 16th of this month Jan Schutz, our among mate from Doornik, complained to me about pain in his head. He was also vomiting. I found out that he had a febris intermittens, sporadic fever. I prescribed him two scruples of pulverized mirabilis jalapa as a purgative and also a mixture (prescription 27) of which he took a spoonful every three hours. Furthermore I gave him a barley drink (prescription 14), of which he drank against the thirst and fever. This caused him to recover and he took up his shift again the 22nd of this month.
