Dr. Woodhouse allegedly treats those in Berkhamstead in the county of Hertfordshire with a "Venificifuge, a Chymical preparation," he also treats Mary Hall with. He evidently administered it to a bewitched boy in Berkhamstead (Anonymous 262) after the remedies for "convulsion fits" were unsuccessful. Woodhouse, after questioning the Querents on the details of the fits, went to see the boy for himself and found the boy began his fit by "pulling off its headcloaths; then it fell a pulling off its Hair, and then scratching the skin off its face." Woodhouse presumably concluded, at this point, that the boy was possessed and provided the appropriate medical treatment.(38-39)
