the Blood not in the first Ways In the 165 Page the Doctor inculcates a new the damage of meer Diaphoreticks for I shall do him the Justice to conceal none of his Arguments and the Reason is this Because thereby the Vascous matter is impelled to the Pores in great abundance and so begetteth new Obstructions And which is wonderful to prevent this Inconveniency he adviseth the use of Paregoricks which as all the World knows do incrassate extremely and so instead of weakning the Malady he strengthneth its Hands However I would have the Doctor to know this Fear of his to be vain and groundless we never forcing the Matter till once incided and till we observe the Signs of Coction in the Urine as shall afterwards God willing be said Neither is the Philosophick Comparison which he brings to illustrate this his Argument beyond all exception For the greatest Fool in the Kingdom does know that the Church Doors can be no way dilated or widned whereas we know certainly that occasion requiring the Pores of the Body may be double enlarged and distended It is in the 167 Page where the Doctor runs to that pitch of Boldness as to exclaim against a Method direct to a Crisis Boldness I must call it and the Reader will perhaps judge worse of it when he considers with me that there be only Four Ways by which Diseases are terminate● whereof a Crisis is ever desired as the best Which happens when after ●wrestling betwixt the Disease and Nature the last at length obtains the Victory and with one blow ejects this its hostile Enemy Which is done sometimes by Bleeding at the Nose sometimes by Purging sometimes by Vomiting but an hundred times for one by Sweating The second Solution of Diseases is that by Physicians called Lysis When there comes no critical Motion which is still desired by all it being beyond all question the best but rather the Malady decays slowly and gradually and this is most frequent in thir our Cold Countries Thirdly the morbifick Matter is sometimes discussed or translated from one place to another per Metastasin which if it happen to be from a nobler to a meanner it is good although it were better to have it altogether expelled the Body by a Crisis but if it chance contrary is most dangerous The Fourth and last way of Diseases terminating is by Death when the morbisick Matter subduing Nature renders the organical Body uncapable of obeying the Inclinations of the reasonable Soul so that it must needs forsake its Mansion and leave it a dead Cadaver If there be any other way of Diseases terminating they do not to me now occurr yea after sometimes thinking I cannot conceive them Now let my Reader yea D. Brown himself judge how good reason he hath to cry out against that Method which aims at a Crisis Before I leave Diaphoreticks it will be necessary to inform the Reader that neither in the Beginning nor Increment of the Fever we imploy them yea never till we have once incided and attenuate the Matter with proper and convenient Medicaments do we use them And then when we behold the Signs of Coction in the Urine we hasten away the Malady sometimes with weaker sometimes with stronger Medicines just as the Circumstances allow and advise It is also worth noticing that there is no material Difference betwixt Inciders and Diaphoreticks For every Incider providing its Dose be augmented will prove Diaphoretick And whatsomever provokes Sweat given more sparingly does only incide Wherefore whatever hath been said in defence of Sudorisicks may also be applyed to Inciders Especially since they are repudiate by the Doctor for one and the same Cause which to speak the Truth is none at all Purging comes next to be discoursed of for neither can the Cure of Fevers always want their Assistance which nevertheless are not to be advised as D. Brown does at all times and of all kinds Wherefore I shall here shew First When and how they are and have been imployed by Physicians in all Ages Secondly Bring some Arguments against the perpetual use of such of them as properly go under the Name of Purges And Thirdly endeavour to obviate any Arguments afforded by the Doctor in their behalf Before I go farther I am necessitate to observe and complain that the Author should have Printed a new Method and yet never so much as once inform us when and to what Patients it is and safely may be applyed Nor yet does he mention the Medicaments he then imployeth none of which besides many other things ought to have been neglected by him who presumed to Write an intire Method but far less by the Author of a New One. For whoever hath the least knowledge in Physick cannot but be sufficiently acquaint with the difficulty of purging where a few hours some few grains or some conttrary Indicants may readily bring Death to the Patient And really for my part suppose I were sufficiently convinced both of the Reasonableness and Success of D. Brown's New Method which nevertheless without other Arguments as I have yet seen I never will be yet I durst not upon that trivial and superficial account he gives of it adventure to use it But to return to the things proposed in prescribing of Purges to persons in Fevers we are to consider 1. The Division of Purges as it in the 10 and last Axiome in Laxantia propriè purgantia 2. The different times of the Disease also above in the 9 Axiome specified are carefully to be observed And 3. The Malignity sometimes adjoined is by no means to be neglected for at certain times to give a Purge when it is present it is not without great and imminent danger So that by Physitians of all ages not only the Begninnig but also in the Increment and status of the Disease where there is no Malignity present in which condition the very giving of a Clyster was still suspected these Purges called Laxantia which go no farther as the first ways have over been advised Which Laxantia are sometimes given at the Mouth and so respect the Ventricle with the rest of the Intestines but oftner they are applyed in the form of a Clyster which reaches no farther as the valves of the Intestine Colon nevertheless by there stimulating augment the peristaltick motion of the whole and help the Excretion of the Faeces contained therein Yet sometimes in the beginning and before the antecedent cause be turned into the continent by its going from the Ventricle and first ways to the Mass of the Blood it may not be improper to advise a Purge However were I the Physician I had rather if all circumstances allowed thereof and for the most part make use of Emeticks which do ordinarly cause also three or four Stools But the use of Purges properly so called is frequently delayed till the solution of the whole Distemper if critical Motions advise not the contrary when concluding some of the Morbifick matter
