Convict Notes
ADM 101/62/5/11836 A nosological return of the sick and wounded of the convict ship Pyramus for 23 July to 29 December 1836 employed on a voyage to New South Wales. Folios 16-17: Sally Hurly, aged 21, Prisoner; disease or hurt, ptyalismus. Put on sick list, 20 October 1836, at sea. Discharged, 28 November 1836. Similar to the previous case but with much more severe symptoms in a 'quiet, well tempered woman of fewer years, and one of the last likely to be attacked with any disease'. The salivation became so severe in a few days that the surgeon feared for her life, her fauces and throat were so inflamed and enlarged that she could not swallow for 2 days. This was one of the worst cases of natural salivation the surgeon had seen. Suffered natural salivation without the administration of medicine of any kind. The effects induced pain in the head, great prostration of strength, loss of appetite, restless nights and fetor of breath, as much as produced by treatment with mercury. There were many similar cases in the England Convict Ship and the surgeon is at a loss to account for it unless it is produced by the sudden change from simple food to 'a very rich diet' and a sea voyage.
