the_o recur_v of_o the_o wont_a symptom_n and_o when_o the_o apothecary_n bring_v i_o word_n what_o a_o dangerous_a condition_n he_o be_v in_o and_o delirious_a i_o have_v then_o almost_o finish_v

have_v sleep_v very_o well_o that_o night_n after_o take_v once_o or_o twice_o of_o his_o medicine_n and_o in_o the_o morning_n call_v for_o some_o food_n and_o be_v when_o i_o go_v fall_v a_o sleep_n
