Jane Throckmorton continues to be afflicted by fits after four or five days, and her parents send a sample of her urine to Dr. Barrow in Cambridge for his advice. Dr. Barrow replies that "he did perceiue no kind of distemperature save onely that he thought she might be troubled with wormes" and includes medicine for her. Jane's condition still does not improve, so another urine sample is sent; this time Dr. Barrow says her urine shows no sign of illness. He sends purgatives this time, which also have no effect. The third time, Dr. Barrow tells Robert Throckmorton "he should not striue any more there with by Physicke, nor spend any more money about it: for he himselfe said, that he had some experience of the mallice of some witches, and he verily thought that there was some kind of sorcerie & witchcraft wrought towards his childe."
