embrocate_v with_o the_o mixture_n of_o the_o infusion_n he_o take_v four_o ounce_n every_o four_o hour_n whenever_o he_o be_v thirsty_a i_o advise_v he_o to_o take_v twenty_o drop_n of_o the_o dulcify_v oil_n of_o vitriol_n in_o a_o draught_n of_o white_a wine_n and_o water_n one_o sunday_n morning_n about_o eleven_o a_o clock_n i_o go_v to_o visit_v he_o and_o when_o i_o come_v to_o his_o lodging_n i_o find_v dr._n sloan_n with_o he_o the_o doctor_n say_v the_o method_n that_o have_v be_v use_v be_v new_a but_o that_o the_o man_n be_v in_o a_o very_a good_a condition_n and_o out_o of_o all_o danger_n he_o have_v sleep_v well_o the_o whole_a night_n and_o be_v not_o in_o the_o least_o feverish_a neither_o have_v he_o the_o least_o disorder_n upon_o he_o only_o a_o very_a small_a pain_n in_o his_o finger_n the_o swell_a of_o his_o hand_n and_o arm_v be_v great_o abate_v i_o order_v the_o continue_n of_o his_o former_a method_n the_o which_o i_o have_v no_o reason_n to_o vary_v but_o dr._n sloan_n propose_v that_o if_o his_o infusion_n shall_v make_v he_o puke_v as_o it_o once_o have_v do_v then_o in_o the_o room_n of_o it_o he_o shall_v at_o the_o same_o interval_n take_v half_a a_o dram_n of_o virginian_a snake_n root_n in_o powder_n drink_v afterward_o two_o or_o three_o ounce_n of_o treacle-water_n sweeten_v with_o syrup_n of_o gillyflower_n the_o which_o i_o consent_v to_o it_o no_o way_n thwart_v the_o method_n that_o have_v before_o be_v take_v at_o night_n i_o visit_v he_o again_o and_o then_o find_v he_o as_o brisk_a and_o well_o as_o if_o nothing_o have_v ail_v he_o the_o infusion_n have_v not_o disagree_v with_o he_o and_o therefore_o he_o take_v not_o the_o powder_n of_o snake_n root_n but_o i_o mix_v the_o treacle-water_n and_o syrup_n of_o gillyflower_n with_o the_o remain_a part_n of_o the_o infusion_n and_o order_v he_o to_o take_v four_o ounce_n of_o it_o morning_n and_o evening_n only_o so_o long_o as_o it_o last_v the_o next_o day_n i_o visit_v he_o again_o when_o i_o find_v he_o up_o and_o eat_v his_o dinner_n very_o hearty_o i_o than_o order_v he_o to_o continue_v the_o use_n of_o the_o cataplasm_n so_o long_o as_o he_o find_v the_o least_o swell_a in_o any_o part_n and_o then_o dismiss_v he_o from_o my_o care_n there_o not_o be_v any_o more_o need_n of_o my_o further_a attendance_n a_o small_a swell_n of_o his_o finger_n continue_v for_o some_o time_n after_o but_o without_o trouble_n or_o pain_n i_o believe_v i_o may_v without_o vanity_n say_v that_o consider_v the_o symptom_n that_o attend_v this_o man_n which_o be_v as_o severe_a as_o possible_a and_o he_o survive_v it_o there_o have_v not_o be_v a_o more_o extraor-dinary_a cure_n wrought_v nor_o such_o symptom_n raise_v upon_o such_o a_o occasion_n ever_o take_v off_o in_o so_o short_a a_o space_n now_o do_v the_o poison_n of_o viper_n consist_v in_o a_o volatile_a acid_n as_o some_o will_v make_v we_o believe_v how_o be_v it_o possible_a for_o any_o one_o to_o conceive_v that_o ever_o these_o dreadful_a symptom_n can_v be_v so_o soon_o take_v off_o by_o give_v more_o acid_n and_o that_o in_o so_o extravagant_a a_o quantity_n as_o they_o be_v at_o first_o give_v by_o mr._n stringer_n and_o mr._n small_a nay_o have_v the_o poison_n be_v a_o acid_n it_o be_v very_o reasonable_a to_o believe_v that_o the_o more_o acid_v they_o have_v give_v he_o the_o more_o his_o symptom_n will_v have_v be_v aggravate_v whereas_o on_o the_o contrary_a it_o plain_o appear_v that_o by_o the_o repeat_v large_a quantity_n that_o they_o give_v he_o the_o symptom_n be_v so_o soon_o abate_v that_o it_o be_v almost_o past_a belief_n i_o can_v but_o observe_v that_o in_o the_o strange_a relation_n that_o dr._n stubbs_n give_v of_o the_o severe_a symptom_n that_o attend_v the_o man_n at_o warwick_n that_o be_v bite_v with_o a_o adder_n the_o only_a thing_n that_o put_v he_o out_o of_o danger_n of_o lose_v his_o life_n be_v the_o mixtura_fw-la

proportion_n to_o the_o acid_n that_o mr._n philipson_n take_v neither_o be_v his_o cure_n either_o so_o expeditious_a or_o so_o easy_a as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o dr._n stubbs_n relation_n of_o that_o matter_n the_o hot_a iron_n be_v equal_o useless_a in_o this_o as_o in_o that_o case_n and_o i_o be_o apt_a to_o believe_v do_v never_o do_v any_o service_n at_o all_o unless_o apply_v at_o the_o very_a instant_n of_o time_n that_o the_o bite_n be_v receive_v mr._n philipson_n do_v suck_v his_o finger_n as_o soon_o as_o he_o be_v bite_v and_o to_o that_o a_o certain_a physician_n attribute_n a_o great_a deal_n and_o say_v it_o help_v to_o expedite_v the_o cure_n whereas_o there_o be_v several_a author_n of_o undoubted_a credit_n who_o have_v give_v relation_n of_o person_n that_o have_v die_v by_o so_o do_v and_o if_o this_o man_n have_v suck_v out_o any_o great_a quantity_n of_o the_o poison_n with_o his_o mouth_n how_o come_v the_o whole_a hand_n and_o arm_v to_o be_v so_o immediate_o affect_v in_o so_o dreadful_a a_o manner_n lemery_n in_o his_o course_n of_o chemistry_n do_v confess_v that_o the_o viper_n do_v abound_v more_o with_o volatile_a alkalious_a salt_n than_o most_o other_o creature_n and_o assign_v a_o very_a good_a reason_n for_o it_o viz._n from_o the_o extraordinary_a closeness_n of_o the_o cutaneous_a pore_n by_o which_o mean_n they_o do_v not_o perspire_v so_o free_o as_o other_o creature_n do_v nay_o he_o confess_v that_o their_o poison_n consist_v in_o the_o emission_n of_o a_o very_a great_a quantity_n of_o volatile_a salt_n at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o be_v enrage_a or_o anger_v but_o then_o to_o square_v himself_o with_o the_o vulgar_a opinion_n he_o tell_v we_o that_o these_o volatile_a alkalious_a salt_n be_v instantaneous_o at_o the_o time_n of_o their_o emission_n during_o the_o time_n of_o the_o viper_n short_a rage_n turn_v into_o acid_n of_o the_o most_o volatile_a nature_n this_o be_v such_o jargon_n that_o nothing_o can_v be_v imagine_v like_o it_o the_o transmutation_n of_o metal_n even_o to_o those_o who_o be_v the_o great_a enemy_n to_o it_o be_v a_o mere_a jest_n to_o it_o if_o we_o look_v into_o moses_n charras_n his_o account_n of_o the_o german_n that_o be_v bite_v at_o his_o house_n after_o all_o the_o pother_n that_o he_o make_v about_o his_o volatile_a salt_n of_o viper_n yet_o the_o cure_n of_o that_o man_n be_v not_o perform_v without_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o hazard_n and_o trouble_v and_o the_o intermixture_n of_o a_o great_a many_o other_o medicine_n beside_o that_o of_o the_o volatile_a salt_n and_o those_o even_a acid_n too_o as_o treacle-water_n and_o slice_n of_o citron_n with_o sugar_n but_o these_o acid_n can_v not_o so_o effectual_o operate_v as_o otherwise_o it_o be_v probable_a they_o will_v have_v do_v by_o reason_n of_o their_o be_v obtund_v by_o the_o volatile_a salt_n that_o be_v so_o frequent_o give_v he_o but_o hoffman_n in_o his_o

all_o other_o thing_n have_v prove_v ineffectual_a and_o ridicules_a charras_n for_o feign_v the_o poison_n to_o be_v a_o acid_n for_o if_o this_o be_v so_o say_v hoffman_n how_o can_v the_o juice_n of_o citron_n which_o be_v a_o acid_n afford_v the_o patient_a any_o relief_n i_o shall_v conclude_v this_o subject_n with_o this_o one_o observation_n viz._n that_o physician_n get_v more_o

physician_n have_v a_o patient_n sick_a of_o a_o fever_n he_o take_v such_o a_o method_n that_o his_o patient_n lie_v a_o month_n in_o continual_a danger_n and_o hazard_n but_o at_o last_o recover_v and_o get_v abroad_o he_o than_o proclaim_v to_o every_o body_n the_o miraculousness_n of_o the_o recovery_n and_o the_o danger_n he_o be_v in_o upon_o which_o enquiry_n be_v make_v who_o be_v the_o physician_n he_o immediate_o reply_v the_o famous_a doctor_n such_o a_o one_o and_o if_o he_o be_v a_o person_n of_o any_o note_n the_o physician_n be_v work_n be_v do_v another_o physician_n have_v a_o patient_n that_o have_v the_o very_a same_o fever_n this_o physician_n take_v care_n to_o obviate_v all_o symptom_n and_o his_o patient_n be_v abroad_o in_o eight_o or_o ten_o day_n and_o
