some_o observation_n make_v upon_o the_o herb_n cassiny_n import_v from_o carolina_n show_v its_o admirable_a virtue_n in_o cure_v the_o small_a pox_n write_a by_o a_o physician_n in_o the_o country_n to_o esq_n boil_v at_o london_n london_n print_v in_o the_o year_n 1695._o some_o observation_n make_v upon_o the_o herb_n cassiny_n show_v its_o admirable_a virtue_n in_o cure_v the_o small_a pox_n in_o a_o letter_n etc._n etc._n sir_n i_o be_o sorry_a to_o hear_v that_o the_o small_a pox_n be_v so_o rise_v at_o london_n it_o be_v the_o less_o wonder_n to_o find_v you_o so_o inquisitive_a after_o a_o good_a specific_a remedy_n in_o that_o distemper_n i_o must_v tell_v you_o i_o know_v no_o better_a medicine_n in_o that_o case_n than_o the_o famous_a carolina_n herb_n call_v cassiny_n there_o be_v abundance_n of_o person_n now_o dye_v of_o the_o small_a pox_n in_o our_o town_n and_o country_n but_o i_o attribute_v it_o very_o much_o to_o ill_a management_n of_o nurse_n and_o ignorant_a people_n who_o give_v many_o hot_a medicine_n under_o the_o pretence_n of_o drive_v out_o as_o sack_n and_o saffron_n and_o mithridate_n and_o venice_n treacle_n by_o this_o mean_v they_o fire_v the_o blood_n into_o a_o favour_n and_o that_o kill_v they_o i_o only_o give_v a_o few_o drop_n of_o the_o tincture_n of_o this_o temperate_a herb_n in_o water-gruel_n or_o in_o panado_n or_o posset-drink_a and_o do_v nothing_o else_o all_o the_o while_n but_o leave_v it_o to_o nature_n and_o i_o find_v better_a success_n i_o have_v have_v many_o in_o one_o family_n down_o at_o one_o time_n of_o this_o loathsome_a distemper_n and_o all_o recover_v with_o this_o method_n but_o if_o any_o desire_n to_o die_v with_o more_o pompous_a prescription_n much_o good_a may_v it_o do_v they_o the_o medicine_n make_v of_o this_o herb_n do_v not_o in_o the_o least_o heat_n the_o blood_n but_o rather_o moderate_a and_o gentle_o allay_v the_o violent_a fermentation_n of_o it_o if_o it_o be_v too_o high_a and_o yet_o safe_o help_v the_o expulsive_a faculty_n if_o it_o be_v too_o weak_a this_o specific_a keep_v they_o out_o of_o the_o head_n and_o throat_n and_o secure_v the_o lung_n by_o help_a expectoration_n i_o have_v often_o observe_v that_o the_o slow_a they_o be_v in_o come_v forth_o the_o more_o dangerous_a and_o if_o the_o salivation_n or_o spit_n cease_v before_o the_o eleven_o day_n especial_o in_o a_o flux_n pox_n there_o be_v then_o much_o more_o reason_n to_o fear_v the_o patient_n be_v poison_v by_o the_o return_n of_o the_o purulent_a matter_n inward_o and_o yet_o in_o this_o extreme_a hazard_n the_o tincture_n of_o this_o herb_n in_o small_a beer_n and_o some_o time_n in_o tare_n broth_n have_v save_v the_o life_n of_o many_o i_o be_v once_o send_v for_o to_o a_o boarding-school_n where_o several_a young_a gentlewoman_n who_o high_o value_v their_o beauty_n be_v surprise_v with_o the_o small_a pox_n i_o only_o give_v they_o the_o drop_v draw_v out_o of_o this_o herb_n in_o all_o their_o liquid_a aliment_n as_o water-gruel_n and_o posset-drink_a and_o small_a beer_n and_o cause_v they_o to_o keep_v their_o face_n cover_v with_o their_o mask_n all_o the_o time_n and_o they_o recover_v and_o preserve_v their_o complexion_n i_o remember_v that_o a_o eminent_a physician_n of_o london_n tell_v i_o a_o extraordinary_a case_n of_o a_o court_n lady_n of_o great_a beauty_n a_o patient_n of_o he_o who_o be_v much_o afflict_v at_o the_o death_n of_o many_o who_o die_v of_o the_o small_a pox_n and_o he_o be_v resolve_v to_o try_v a_o contrary_a
