Folios 15-16: Ellen Corcoran, aged 38, Prisoner; disease or hurt, ptyalismus. Put on sick list, 1 September 1836, at sea. Discharged, 25 October 1836. 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. - Medical journal of the crew and passengers of the female convict Ship Pyramus for 23 July to 29 December 1836 by Obadiah Pineo, Surgeon
