liberty the spirits thus huddled up and his Pulse beating but about ten strokes less than naturally I order'd twelve ounces of blood to be taken away and prescrib'd him six grains of Tartarum Emeticum next morning that there might be no conveyance of any thing from the stomach that might confirm the cohesion of the stagnating parts but might even break and divide those that were already in a stagnating condition for the reasons to be mention'd hereafter Having thus been let blood in one day about ten a clock in the morning and next day his Vomit working very well about four a clock in the afternoon of that next day his Pulse was at least ten or twelve strokes higher than naturally and therefore he took a dose of the following Powder to restrain that growing motion about the evening ℞ ocul canc pptʒ iij. sal prunel ℥ ss crem Tart. ʒ j M. ac Divid in IX part ●eq Capiat unam ter in die All the while he drunk as much Barley water sharpned with Vinegar as he pleas'd in pursuance of this design and after three days when his Powders were done I prescrib'd him that which follows to be taken next morning ℞ Pulver Cornach ʒ ss Tart. vitriolat gr v.

Walter Griffin a man of five and twenty or six and twenty years and of a bilious Constitution was taken on the fifteenth of June last with a Shivering and Coldness that lasted ten hours his pulse was depress'd and he was troubl'd with pains over all his body the same evening he began to be hot his pulse beat 90 times in a minute and he had an insatiable drought about the time his Pulse began to rise and his heat to encrease he had a very large sweating but without any benefit He was let xii ounces of blood that morning on the 16th he took iv grains of the vomiting Tartar by which he vomited six or seven times and went thrice to Stool and was a great deal easier the greatest part of that day on the 17th he begun to take a dose of the Testaceous Powders I prescrib'd and continued till he had taken nine doses but on the 18th his Pulse was very high and beat more than a hundred in one minute and he inclined to be delirious And therefore I order'd him to be let sixteen ounces of blood more and to continue the use of the Powders only he took in the evening two grains of Camphire in that Dose and had a very good night on the 19th he took his Powder without any addition and the following Purgative on the 20th ℞ Decoct Tamarind amar purgant an ℥ iij.
