Among other symptoms his tongue was 'loaded with a yellowish brown fur, with a circular ulcer about the size of a sixpence' which he attributed to the use of tobacco. He was undergoing transportation for the second time which caused great anxiety and depression, and was said to be 'excessively addicted' to the use of 'ardent spirits' making him appear prematurely aged. During his illness he suffered delirium, coma and incontinence and was treated with mercurial ointments rubbed into his limbs while he was restricted to a table spoonful of barley water every quarter hour for drink.
