Thank you all for the help sharing your incredible knowledge. I now know more than when I first posted my 'cry for help'.

Thank you Mckha489. 
This is another part of the report. Again it is the treatment he was given which has me scratching my head. which is the first 3 lines and the 2nd and 3rd last lines.

Thankfully he was given a flannel waistcoat and trousers to keep him warm and some fruit.
Thanking you

Thank you all for your help.  The document was from 1830. I had wondered if the strange 3 was a symbol for an amount. 
It had been suggested by a friends sister that the MOM could stand for milk of magnesium.

I have another section of the report which I will post. Not quite sure which is the correct way to go about this. Could someone let me know if I add it to this post or do I start it as a new post?

Thank you Mckha489 and Girl Guide. I did think that Ipecac was a bit harsh treatment for aching joints   :o

Hello. I am hoping some one maybe able to help me with the medical treatment given to my GT Gt Gt Grandfathers.  He was transported as a convict to Australia. It is from the ships records. He presented with pain in his extremities and stiff joints. From the report it seems as if he may have had scurvy.
Thanking you

Handwriting Deciphering & Recognition / Translation of marriage bonds written in Latin

 I have the marriage bonds for Thomas Hall and Elizabeth Minkley for the 2nd July 1711. Half of the Bond is written in Latin and I was hoping someone would be able to translate this for me please.  I have had a poor attempt using google translate but because I am not familiar with the Latin language I have been unable to work out the spelling of the words. Thanking you in anticipation.

In the photo's I have of him he has managed to hide the "blue Blister with his moustache and Beard.....another thing he managed cover up so we can not prove or disprove. From what I hear he was quite a character so he would be having a good laugh at us trying to sort out his life.   ;D
