Hyssop or of the Tincture of Saffron If there is a feverish heat hot things must be omitted let them be omitted in the Apozeme If there be a Looseness such things as will make them laxative must be omitted If a Looseness or any other Symptom forbid their use let the Pectoral Fruits be left out of the Apozeme and the Oyl out of the Linctus's or else instead of the Medicines just now mentioned let

depurated and a Dram and a half of Flowers of Benjamin to the Linctus These Intentions to wit the speedy Concoction of that Mass which is lodg'd in the Lungs and the preventing of a new influx of it are likewise satisfied by Compositions made of Balsamick and Agglutinating Medicines As for Example Take the Pulp of Conserve of Red Roses of Wood-Sorrel of each an Ounce and half of Olibanum three Drams of Natural Balsam two Scruples mix them and make an Electuary of which let the Patient take the quantity of a Wallnut three times a day at Physical hours and drink after it a quarter of a Pint

Night when there are not some other Medicines to be taken if nothing forbids it it is convenient to give xv or xx Drops of Helmont's Liquid Laudanum in a Spoonful of the Balsamick Syrup For this end likewise 't will be well to prescribe a Dram of the Flower of Brimstone in a potch'd Egg or a sufficient quantity of Honey of Rosemary-flowers If a tickling Cough by reason of the Acrimony and thinness of the Humour separated by the Wind-pipe and the branches of it be very troublesome to the Patient so that 't is to be feared the Catarrhous Cough being irritated after the manner of Suction or drawing the Humour more into those parts will be increased let the following Lozenges be always at hand to be taken at pleasure and swallowed gently to quiet the Cough Take of the Pulp of Marsh-mallow-Roots prest through a sieve an Ounce

the first declension of the Fever let it be of Chicken-Broth potch'd Eggs c. He must likewise if there is occasion presently have a Stool procured with a Clyster made of Milk in which Camomile-flowers have been boyled sweetned with brown Sugar which as often as it shall be necessary must be repeated Then let Eight or Ten Ounces of Blood be taken from the Arm of that side where the pain is which Bleeding must be boldly repeated every day or every other day according to the Effervescence of the Blood and the violence of the pain in the Side and the difficulty of Breathing so far as the strength of the Patient will bear it that the progress of the Inflammation to a ripening and an Aposteme if it be possible may be prevented In the mean time all along the course of the Disease let a Spoonful of the following Linctus be given dissolved in four Ounces of the Pectoral Decoction warm'd every third All the time of this Fever we must use Pectoral Medicines or at least every fourth hour Take Oyl of sweet Almonds new drawn Syrup of Maiden-hair of each an Ounce and half of white Sugar-candy a Dram and half Mix them very well and make a Linctus Yea if the toughness of the Phlegm the difficulty of Breathing and the increase of the Pain arising thereupon require it and there be no Looseness to forbid it let new Linseed-Oyl fresh drawn without any Fire be put in the stead of the Oyl of sweet Almonds and Syrup of Hedg-Mustard or of the five opening Roots in the room of the Syrup of Maiden-hair Moreover let two or three Ounces of Linseed-Oyl be likewise ordered to be taken by itself every four hours because it is wonderfully endowed not only with a Lubricating but likewise an Anodyne Quality Take of the clear Pectoral Drink a Pint and half Tincture of Saffron made with Treacle-water and Syrup of Maiden-hair of each an Ounce Mix them and make an Apozeme for the Use before mentioned For refreshing their Spirits Something must be done to comfort them and tempering the heat of the Blood let four or five Spoonfuls of the following Julep be

happens in this state of the Distemper Take of Venice-Treacle half a Dram of Gascoin Pouder a Scruple of Syrup of Clove-gilly-flowers a sufficient quantity mix them and make a Bolus Something to preserve the Brain For the security of the Brain and the System of the Nerves presently after Bleeding let Blistering-Plaisters be applyed to the hinder part of the Neck to the inside of the Arms and Legs and the Cephalick Plaister with Euphorbium to the soles of the Feet What is to be done when there is a pain in the Side For the relieving of the pain in the side caused by the Spasms of the Muscles and Membranes of the Breast let the following Fomentation and Liniment be alternately applyed to the Parts affected Take the Roots of Parsley of Fennel Linseed Foenugreek-seed of each two Ounces Camomile flowers Melilot-flowers of each two handfuls mix them together and boyl them in a sufficient quantity of Spring-water let the Liquor being strained be put into a new Ox's Bladder till it is half full and let it be applyed hot to the Parts affected when the pain is violent When the Bladder is removed lay on a warm Flannel with some of the following Liniment Take of the Oyntment of Marsh-mallows half an Ounce Oyl of white Lillies Oyl of Bricks of each three Drams mix them and make a Liniment for use For the farther tempering of the Effervescence of the Blood and the heat of the Lungs the following Pouder may be ordered with Advantage Take of the finest Salt-Petre two Drams of white Sugar-candy half an Ounce mix them and then divide them into Eight Papers and let one of them be dissolved in every draught of Beer the Patient drinks As for the other things they must be left to the Judgment of the Physician that is with him to be prescribed as there shall be occasion As for what concerns the Putrid Fever of Consumptive Patients we must take notice A Description of the Putrid Fever that although they being treated in the foregoing Method do not dye of a Peripneumony yet the Inflammation of the Tubercles of the Lungs at this time turning to an Ulcer which very often happens at the end of the Inflammatory Fever there presently arises a Putrid Intermitting Fever which returns at certain periods every day or every other day with a Chilness a hot Fit and then Sweats succeeding one another for the Blood in its Circulation passing now through these purulent Parts is filled and opprest with Heterogeneous and disagreeable Particles by which Nature being irritated is rouzed and forms a Feverish Fit every day or every other day to expel her Enemy Vnless we can heal the Vlcers Pectoral Medicines will not Cure this Fever The Peruvian Bark will many times do great Service Which Fever so far as I understand it is impossible perfectly to eradicate with the help of Pectoral and Balsamick Medicines without healing as often as they are small and benign the Ulcers from which that Fever proceeds Yet I have very often found with very good Success the efficacy of the Peruvian Bark in taking off these Fever Fits at least for a time being frequently repeated and at due intervals So that I have seen the Lives of some Consumptive Persons that have been lookt upon as deplorable by the frequent use of it prolonged not only some months but likewise some years who though they were never perfectly recovered from a sickly state yet being once freed from their Fever by the use of the Bark could do their ordinary business well enough Wherefore I look upon this as the only Febrifuge in this case that has hitherto been found out For although by this means there is only a Treacherous and uncertain Truce obtained because the Fever is wont to return of its own accord or upon the least occasion yet by this temporary suppression of the Fever the Patient is not only immediately freed from many troublesome and grievous Symptoms for a time but likewise recovers his lost Strength in some measure and moreover gains some Opportunity for the use of Balsamick and Pectoral Medicines which by healing the ulcerated Tubercles may work a perfect and eradicative Cure of the Fever We must mix Balsami ke with the Bark And therefore it is very convenient not only to insist diligently upon the use of this kind of Balsamick Medicines at
