A33550	An account of the nature, causes, symptoms, and cure of the distempers that are incident to seafaring people with observations on the diet of the sea-men in His Majesty's navy : illustrated with some remarkable instances of the sickness of the fleet during the last summer, historically related / by W.C.	Cockburn, W. (William), 1669-1739.	1696 (1696)	Wing C4815; ESTC R24229	70,196	195

one and so to promote the Cure This must not only be understood of those that take the whole Dose but of those too that take but a part There 's nothing amongst all the page 15 symptoms that attend Fevers that page 16 can forbid the use of this Remedy but the Swelling of the Belly So there 's no more to be observ'd but that as there are some people that cannot keep this Clyster so there are others that give no further account of it and they find themselves swoln as 't were and puff'd up and therefore 't will be their best way to take a purging Clyster once in two days which will help them to disburthen it and 't is not beside the purpose to take notice at this time that those Clysters not having a purgative faculty and not being given for that end the sick people need not be disquieted or concerned if they see not an Evacuation of Bile and other Humours as in our ordinary Clysters page 31 'T is evident then says he that the sick person shall be no more offended with its bitterness since he 's to take it no more by the Mouth besides he can find that weight in his Stomach no longer because the thing that produc'd that effect is no more there page 32 But to get over the inconvenience of warming the Patient he takes a wonderful way A l'egard says he de la Chaleur il est certain que les parties grossieres du Quinquina qui en sont la seule Cause ne sejournant plus dans le corps qu' autant de temps qu' il en faut a la Chaleur naturelle pour le digerer en tirer ce qu' il a de volatil de salutaire le marc qui en reste etant rejette aussi-tot sans etre oblige passer par toutes les voies qu' il parcourt quand il est pris par la bouche le corps ne peut que profiter de tout ce qu' il y a ●aisse d'utile sans jamais etre incommode de tout ce qu' il pourroit avoir de pesant d'embarassant de nuisible qui est ce qui cause le Chaleur dont on se plaint tant Touching this heat says he 't is certain that the gross parts of the Powder which are its cause staying no longer in the body than is necessary for the natural heat to digest it and to extract its parts that are volatile and wholsom and the Mash that remains being cast out of the body without being obliged to pass all those ways it goes alongst when taken in by the Mouth the body cannot but reap a vast advantage from all the useful parts that are left without being in the least hurt by any thing of it that 's heavy embarrassing and injurious which are the things that make all those heats they complain of He adds in the next paragraph that the people that have the Piles are the only to whom he gives not these Powder-Clysters either not in so great a quantity because the rough Powder rubbing up the vessels in the passing is apt to provoke the Piles or else he gives a strong decoction of it which does almost as well and entirely prevents this inconvenience page 39 Then he rallies all his scattered proofs he had brought for the Cures being more certain by taking the Powder-Clysters than in any way it can be taken by the Mouth for first it is given in a greater quantity than it can be by the Mouth secondly 't is always given in substance and so has the greater force and thirdly the subtil parts which only act upon the ferment of the Fever and destroy its ebullition can insinuate themselves easier into the mass of blood by the orifices of these vessels that open into the Intestins and lastly experience puts this more ready and sure way of curing beyond dispute Thus having pickt out almost all this Author says either to the disadvantage of the Q●inquina's being taken in at the mouth the benefit of his own way of giving it and the consequences of that I must confess the World is oblig'd to any one that endeavours to better any Science by useful and well established Theories or Intimations to perfect its Practice by discovering such instruments and helps that can make it more sure yet I think a man that communicates any thing may claim and arrogate a little too much to himself except the practice or opinion he advances be without controversy better than those that were established and thought of before and therefore to speak my mind freely without a Navy Physitian 's declaring war against a French Doctor I think that this Trial may stand us in very good stead upon the pinch of saving the life of one who rather chuses to die than taste this Medicin and of these there are very few but I should judge that man very rash that would recede from the known way of giving the Jesuits Powder he has found so safe that nothing can be more and would go to a practice so very doubtful and hardly press'd with the same difficulties can be brought against the taking it by the Mouth upon any lesser consideration as we shall see immediately by the answering his Arguments which I shall do with as great brevity and clearness as I can As to the weight and pain some feel in their Stomachs after having taken the Jesuits Powder 't is certainly a very great inconvenience but shall be judg'd by all the world if that swelling they feel in their Bellies be not quite as ill and can sooner breed a Dropsy Jaundice c. than any disease that can be so soon brought on by it besides if we will be at the trouble to look back to what I have said in the first part of this Book about that symptom of an Ague the weight in the Stomach he shall see it clearly made out that this weight is nothing but a heap of undigested and slimy stuff that 's lodged there and therefore of it self is apt to make the necessary supply to keep up the force of the Ague and intercept too any Medicins that are given in by the Mouth for its Cure as I have said since I begun to speak of Agues And if he would persuade us to the using his Clysters in these circumstances we shall never be able to cure this Ague tho they were supposed to have a hundred times the force he pretends to whereas if we give a Vomit to make a clear passage we shall fell no such inconvenience but especially if the Fit were well judged before we began our Medicin and so this complaint comes more from the neglect of something th●t ●hould been done than from any defect in the Bark unless perhaps it may add its own quantity to this nasty mass and rarify that too by its subtile parts And so the Argument will go no further than this Opium Steel Antimony c. have been given in
