| Dr. Feavor | A man from Lowestoft in the county of Suffolk, known to be a Doctor of Physick, whom Samuel Pacy consulted for advice when his daughter Deborah Pacy began having strange fits. Dr. Feavor gave deposition in court stating that he had examined Deborah and observed her in her fits, but could not diagnose their cause.(20) | And in this extremity the Child continued to the great grief of the Parents until the Thirtieth of the same Month. During this time this Deponent sent for one Dr. Feavor, a Doctor of Physick, to take his advice concerning his Childs Distemper; the Doctor being come, he saw the Child in those fits, but could not conjecture (as he then told this Deponent, and afterwards affirmed in open Court, at this Tryal) what might be the cause of the Childs Affliction.() |
