the_o blood_n remain_v yet_o humid_a in_o both_o case_n the_o rag_n be_v to_o be_v keep_v in_o a_o temperate_a heat_n or_o place_n viz._n the_o powder_n in_o one_o pocket_n and_o the_o water_n which_o

for_o this_o reason_n they_o use_v to_o reiterate_v this_o manner_n of_o dress_v both_o evening_n and_o morning_n but_o now_o the_o most_o part_n of_o those_o who_o serve_v themselves_o with_o the_o
