Not contented to deprive me of the the advantage of discovering so good a thing but also endeavouring to rob the publick of what might be useful to it from my discovery for they spread it abroad wherever they could gain hearing that Clysters of the Bark were the cause of Ulcers in some in others of Imposthumes in the Intestines in others Fistula's Abortions to Women with Child and a thousand the like Disorders To confute so gross a Calumny I could easily bring Arguments which cannot be answered As for example if it be true that the Bark swallowed down in substance produces no other ill effects than those I have already remarkt how comes it to pass that when 't is taken in Clyster there should happen such terrible accidents when at the same time it does not stay in any of the delicate parts of the Body as it does when 't is taken by the mouth There 's no Physician but what knows that an Emetick taken by the mouth is a very powerful remedy and yet at the same time when treble the dose of the same Remedy is given in Clyster it has but a moderate operation which plainly proves that the violence of the remedy is beyond all comparison much less when 't is given in a Clyster than when 't is taken by the Mouth Besides make an Analysis of all the parts of the Bark you 'll find none of it cause the least pain or disturbance in the Intestines But I am willing to shew these ignorant Detractors that I can produce something more convincing and stronger than argument I mean matter of fact examples experiences both of young Children and Women with Child for if it was true that these troublesom accidents did arise from the use of these Clysters without doubt it would be most severe with little Infants that are so tender and weak and if they cause Abortion the Women big with Child that have taken 'em have reason to know something of it and all these persons that I am going to instance had not recovered their perfect health as they did by the use of ' em Madamoiselle duChatel Grand-daughter of Monsieur Mareschal de Bellefond 18 months old had a Fever and was perfectly recovered by twelve Clysters The Sons of the Marquis of St. Germain Beaupre one eight years of age seiz'd with a double Tertian and Malignant Fever with Convulsions the other twelve years old that had a double Tertain whose fit lasted for eighteen hours each of 'em took twenty five or thirty Clysters and both were perfectly cured The Son of the Marquis de Novion three years of age that had fits of a double Tertian that held him for fifteen hours was cured by these Clysters in a very few days The Son of Monsieur Nicolai the first President 20 months old taken with a continual Fever accompanied with a violent Colick that made him cry out day and night was also cured in a very little time The Son of the Marquis de Lavergne twelve months old seiz'd with a very strong double Tertian together with a continual pain in his belly and frequent dejections was cured by twelve Clysters The Daughter of Monsieur de Beloy Farmer general eighteen months old reduced to the last extremity by a vast number of fits of a double Tertian took about twenty Clysters and was perfectly well The Son of Mr. Coipel Painter in ordinary to Monsieur six months old taken with a Tertian together with a defluxion upon the lungs was perfectly recovered by twenty Clysters The Daughter of Monsieur Beinval Master of the Horse to Monsieur the Count d' Auvergne three years of age that had been seiz'd with a double Tertian a month before whose fits were very tedious took ten or twelve Clysters and was perfectly cured The Daughter of Madam de Gassien the Widow of Monsieur de Gassien Councellor in the Parliament eight years of age taken with a continual Fever with a Paroxysm accompanied with Colick pains and a loosness took eighteen Clysters and was well The Daughter of Monsieur de Logni in Platriere-street seven years of age seiz'd with a malignant Fever with violent Paroxysms every six hours by the means of fifty Clysters was perfectly cured The Daughter of Monsieur de Lamet Secretary to the King five years of age taken with a double Tertian whose fit lasted eighteen hours was cured with two and twenty Clysters The Son of Monsieur Colat Secretary to the King three years of age taken with a continual Fever was recovered by eight Clysters The Son of Monsieur Bertrand Secretary to the King two years and an half old taken with a Dysentery and continual Fever was cured immediately of the Dysentery by my Specifick and afterwards took sixteen Clysters which took off the Fever On which 't is remarkable that if there were any ill consequence from these Clysters without doubt it would be seen in this case for there is no person but what must know that after a Dysentery the intestines are very weak and feeble and easily subject to any ill impression I mean in old and strong bodies and much more in young tender Infants The Son of Monsieur Audiger Auditor of the Accounts a Relation of Mr. Hermand Physician three years of age reduced to the last extremity was set upon his Legs again by these Clysters contrary to the advice and notwithstanding the opposition of his Kinsman The Daughter of Monsieur Huglas in Bourdonnois-street aged seven years who had been very much afflicted and near death for many days with a continual Fever and Defluxion upon the Lungs was cured by this method alone She took about thirty Clysters The Son of Mr. Michalet Bookseller eight years of age that had been sick of a double Tertian six weeks whose fit was very violent and tedious took eighteen Clysters and was perfectly cured The Son of Mr. Malet Mercer in Montmartre-street four years old that had been many days afflicted with a continual Fever near death was cured by sixteen Clysters The Daughter of one Priou Coachman to the lately deceas'd Monsieur Voisin Counsellor of State five years of age seiz'd with a malignant Fever delirious and having at the same time a defluxion upon the Lungs given over and upon the point of death when I was sent for took forty Clysters and was perfectly cured As to Women with Child Madam the Countess of Flamanville seven months gone was seiz'd with a double Tertian continual Fever who after she had taken the Bark all manner of ways by the Mouth and the Fever still grew worse and the Patient despaired of any relief at last by my order took it in Clyster which gave her life again and by that means she went her time out and was safely brought to Bed It is about two Months since Monsieur des Forges the famous Man-Midwife sent for me to consult about Madam de Bellecour Wife of Monsieur de Bellecour Pay-master of the Rents a Lady of a very nice constitution
