ceased and she afterwards Spit a filthy kind of matter somtimes frothy and sometimes thick which would be of a yellowish or greenish kind of Colour and sometimes little Lumps would be Spit forth so that some Physicians and they who would be accounted Wise Men too conceived them to be Portions of the Lungs others thought them to be only Coagulated Blood 4. However whatever they were our Patient grew weaker and weaker and her Body exceeding lean and tabified so that in the Judgment of all Men there was an absolute Phthisis which still grew worse and worse by reason of the Contumacy of her Catarrh 5. She requested My help and I prescribed her the things following by reason of the thinness of her Body I was loth to Purge her very much therefore I ordered her now and then to take Syrup of Roses Solutive 6. And because of the Ulcer as also that she had no Stomach to her Food I prescribed the Vulnerary spirit of Sulphur thus made Take rectified spirit of Wine a quart pure rectified Oyl of Sulphur two ounces mix them and digest till they are almost sweet 7. Of this I caused the Sick to take three four five or six times a day and somtimes oftner about half a Spoonful of it and sometimes more in a Glass of Sack this cleansed the Ulcer in the Lungs and in a little time healed it also it begat a good Stomach in the Patient whereby she could the better eat her Food 8. Sometimes also for change I caused her to take choice Canary made moderately bitter with Tincture of Wormwood and sometimes the Tincture of black Pepper in rectified Spirit of Wine to forty fifty or sixty drops in any convenient Liquor by which the native heat of her Stomach became restored and strengthened so that she could Eat and Digest her Food very well 9. However that she might be always taking things conducing to her Health I ordered her often to Lick of this following Syrup Take juyce of Turnips squeezed out of Turnips baked dry in a Pan a pint and half Water distilled out of Snails and Earth-worms a pint Virgin Honey clarified four pounds mix all together melt and make a syrup in the heat of a Bath of this she took with a Liquorice stick between Meals at lest ten or twelve times a day which comforted and strengthened the late indisposed Lungs 10. Also I ordered her to take every Morning fasting and every Night going to Bed fourteen sixteen or twenty drops of the Annisated Balsam of Sulphur by which she found great good 11. These things she continued the use of for about seven or eight Weeks at what time we conceiv'd the Lungs to be perfectly well the Catarrh was also much abated but not wholly taken away 12. After seven Weeks time I caused her to receive several times the Fumes of Amber as mentioned in the former Observation also I ordered her three or four grains of My Laudanum to be taken every Night going to bed by which the Catarrh was perfectly removed and this much to be deplored Sick Patient recovered her pristin Health 13. Now here is to be noted That during the greatest part of this Cure her Food was the Juyce or Gravy of Meat sometimes of Mutton sometimes of Fowls but chiefly of Beef which she took sometimes alone sometimes with a little Bread in it 14. Her solid Food was chiefly Biscuit Almonds blanched Raisons of the Sun and her Drink was sometimes a Glass of Hyppocras or Spiced Wine but for the most part Water distilled from Milk VIII A Catarrh in a young Woman accompanied with shortness of Breath want of Appetite and a great pain in her Stomach 1. This Woman was about twenty five years of Age had been much troubled with a Catarrh but without any Ulceration of the Lungs caused a great shortness of Breath and difficulty of Breathing insomuch that she would sometimes Pant as if she strove for Life 2. This continual flux having followed her for many Months so cool'd and weakened the Ventricle that she had scarcely any Appetite at all for her Food moreover what she did Eat she could not well Digest and often times it would come up again 3. This was accompanied with such an extream pain of the Stomach which came by fits that she would often say That nothing could equal that pain but the pangs of Death 4. These fits would last sometimes four or five hours at a time in which whatsoever she took whether hot or cold she received not the least benefit 5. She had tryed many things and without success as manifold Vomitings and Purgings Clysters she had also Blysters Errhines Sternutatories Issues and had been many times Sweated whereby although the fierceness of her Catarrh might be something remitted yet she had not the least Ease as to the pain of her Stomach 6. Various sorts of Cordials Stomaticks both hot and cold were given her yet every thing as to the pain of her Stomach proved successless 7. They gave Specifick Stomatick Cordial Pills Stomatick Electuaries Antidotes Pouders Laudanum's c. and continued the use of them for many Months in so much that there was nothing left undone that was thought fit or necessary for her 8. But behold her Disease Tyrant like doubled its strength and this Stomatick pain seem'd greater than ever nor was her Catarrh in the least lessened but afresh excited so that hopeless of Remedy she was given over by all her other Physicians expecting no Cure but by Death 9. A Friend of hers desired her to make Tryal of Me which although she had tryed many Physicians in Vain yet her almost dayly Grief made her easy to be Intreated accordingly I was sent for to whom she related the aforegoing things 10. I began to be Amazed in consideration of what Cause that might be which none of the foregoing Remedies could remove but weighing the thing seriously I conceived it to be an Acid Salt lodged in the Blood which was not only the Cause of her Catarrh but also of that vehement pain in her Stomach 11. For the sharp Particles of the said Salt did not only prick and vellicate the Tunicles of the Stomach but also by their perpetual supplys did in length of time severely corrode it whereby a great rawness was occasioned which at last afflicted her every day immediately after Eating 12. For the fresh Food received in the Stomach falling forthwith upon the raw Ulcerated parts caused that immediate and extream Pain from which she could never be freed till the Food was carried off from the Stomach either upward or downward when the Food was carried off she was more at Ease and so remained as long as she remained fasting but upon the fresh Eating of Food again her pain returned with the same vehemency 13. I was dis-heartened from attempting any of the ways that had been hitherto tryed from the Relation she gave Me wherefore considering those things and the Causes by Me

I purged her every fourth or fifth day with the Tincture of our Family-Pills which wrought upon her commonly eight ten or twelve times so that the Flood of her hydropical humors was in a manner wholly taken away and that extream swelling which everywhere appeared before now vanished nevertheless I took care so to strengthen the Viscera that by an error in their weakness the Disease might no more return 6. For this Purpose in the intervals of purging I gave this following Bolus Morning and Evening Take Extracts of Gentian of Zedoary of Centory the less of Virginian-snake-root of Contra-yerva of Saffron of each an ounce Pouder of Cloves Nutmegs and Cinnamon of each half an ounce Cubebs Anacardiums Myrrh of each in fine Pouder three drams Bezoar mineral Cochenele Winters-Cinnamon Oyl of Worm-wood of each two drams black and long Pepper of each one dram mix and make an Electuary of this about two drams was given her every Morning and Night immediately after the swallowing of which she drank this Take Hippocras three ounces Spirit of Saffron six drams mix them for a draught 7. By the taking of this Medicament she found her inward Parts so strengthned and the whole universal Frame so corroborated that the fears of an hydropical Relapse were wholly taken away and truly she conceived herself somwhat the better as to her Palsy also 8. But that we might now apply our selves to the removal of the paralytick Distemper which seemed to have seised all the extream Parts of the Body I first caused her hair to be shaved off towards the hinder part of her Head where I applyed a large Vesicatory It was the common Veficatory of the Shops and was laid on late at Night going to bed viz. nere twelve a clock and continued on till about two in the After-noon the next day at which time I removed it and applyed over a Melilot Emplaster This was four times renewed upon the same place at about eight days distance to wit when the sore was compleatly healed up and the tenderness of the skin a little passed off 9. Besides the former Blisters I caused Blisters to be drawn in like manner upon the Nucha or Nape of the Neck as also upon both the Shoulders which were each three times repeated at fit Intervals of time by means of which a vast quantity of a cold viscous and watery humor was drawn away and the Paralytick Parts seemed to be discharged of the maâ—ter offending them 10. After these Blisters were drawn and healed up I caused all her Back-bone from the highest Vertebra of the Neck to the Os Coccygis to be anointed Morning and Noon with this following Oyl Take Oyl of Ben six ounces chymical Oyl of Nutmegs two ounces and half Oyl of Cloves two drams mix them well together for the purpose aforesaid Moreover with the said Oyl I caused all the paralytick Parts also to be anointed twice a day which continued for about seven weeks at which time she came to the perfect sense and use of her Limb but her strength was not yet compleatly restored 11. To add the Complement of her strength I prescribed outwardly to both her weaks Limbs a strong Tincture of Myrrh for eight or ten days during which time she took this following Mixture now and then a spoonful or two at a time to wit three four or five times a day as her self best liked Take choice Cinnamon-Water eight ounces Angelica-Water the greater Composition Spirit of Saffron of each three ounces Juyce of Alkermes four ounces mix all together and dulcify it with the Syrup of Citron-Peels to the liking of the sick By the constant and regular use of these Medicaments this miserable Woman was perfectly restored the complication of her Disease was removed and she reduced to her pristine health What great things are accomplished by small and light means when rihgtly adapted or fitted to the intentions of healing and supposed incurable Diseases as it were silently conquered and overcome IX A Youth of fourteen years of age by sitting in the Snow was taken with the Palsie 1. This Youth being of a sudden taken with a Palsie by taking cold in the Snow was commited to the care of an old Woman who anointed all the paralytick limbs which were only on the right side with Oyl of Bays which she did for six or eight weeks but without the least appearance of amendment 2. Then a Country Apothecary was sent for who anointed him for several weeks longer with Oyl of Camomil and Vnguentum Excestrence he also applyed Emplastrum de Baccis Lauri all over the affected parts but all this was don for a long time without the least symptom of a good effect 3. Being at that time accidentally in the place They desired my advice and help I first of all caused him to be well cleansed from all the filthy medicaments with which he had been so long time dawbed which was performed with a warm bath of Venice Soap made of Spring-water to every gallon of which I caused them to add a pint of Proof Spirit of Wine with this he was well washed and bathed for almost an hour with good frictions with course Cloths 4. Being taken out of the Bath and dryed I caused him to be put into a very warm Bed and all his Back-bone and palsied Members to be bathed with the Queen of Hungaries water and when he came out of his Bed he was bathed or anointed again with this following Oyl Take Oyl of bitter Almonds eight ounces Chymical Oyls of Rosemary and of Rue of each four ounces mix them together to anoint the Paralytick parts with With the use of this in about three weeks time the Youth was restored to his Health without the use of any other means save the Queen of Hungaries water which he took an ounce at a time Morning Noon and Night in Hippocras during the time of the Cure X. A Palsie of the upper parts with Convulsions of the Stomach and Mesentery Worms c. 1. A Woman about thirty six years of age was taken with a Palsie of the upper parts on both sides which was complicated with strange Convulsions both of the Stomach and Mesentery besides which she had been observed several times to avoid Worms she had strange fits commonly called Hysterick which afflicted her with that violence that the by-standers for the most part doubted of her every coming out of them in which the Stomach or cavity of the Thorax became so extreamly tumified or swelled up that it was even almost beyond belief so that had the exact relation thereof been given me I should have indeed doubted the Truth thereof had I not beheld it with my own Eyes 2. In the Intervalls of these fits she for the most part complained of the great Pain and gnawing at Stomach which somtimes used to be so vehement and extream that she would even desire to die rather than to live Moreover she had a symptomatical vomiting which
