Ferne is of a quite different notion, as I hear. 1st D. No, 'tis a bloody flux, it is very plain. 2d D. If it is a flux, it may require a glyster. 3d D. I re I aver his case is venereal, as I discovered it in a shanker, and a polypus in his nose. And if it be as I say 'tis, a gonorrhoea may ensue. First Doctor. It is ad ange rus casis ani.

His disease is a ca tarrh, I declare it. 3d D. At last, you may find it a stone in his kidnies. 4th D. It is a leprosy for aught I see. Pray, who's his apothecary, can't you tell us? A blister may be necessary some days hence. It is a sure remedy in many cases. 3d D. I find it is too late to think of a remedy; for I hear his honour is dead. 2d D. His time is come. 1st D.

Ah, by God, it is time, indeed it is, for us all to fall a scampering off as fast as a rat out of a dairy; for I fear a beating every minute; by my soul I do.
