One — — who had had a Gonorrhea often, and a pretty while be 
fore he complain’d, had many Symptomsof the Pox, which threat- 
ned his Life, or at leaft che prefent flacting of his Nofe. The queftion 
was whether being at Sea he might be flux’d, I told them I faw no- 
thing to hinder it ia fuch an urgent Cafe, and therefore advis'd one, 
who pretended to underftand Salivation well, todoic by Unction, 
as the fureft way to Root out the Diftemper. He put him intoa ae uae 
very clofe Cabbin, anointed him, and the rlux rofe very well, and mech 
the Symptoms ceas’d: I concluded all would goon as ufually they 
do in {uch Cafes, and gave the Perfon who had the care of him ge. 
neral Directions how to behave himfelf. Burtit prov’d otherwife, tor 
he was ignorant of the Method of treating in a Salivation, {par’d his 
Medicines, f{ubftituted others in the Places of thofe I order’d, al- 
ledging amongft his Comrades, he knew better. He likewile kepx 
his Cabbin too hot, as well by burning two Candles always there, 
and never {uffering a vent to the Steams, as by giving a great many 
Cordials, or hot Sudorifics. By chefe feveral means unknown to 
me, he inverted the Courfe of Nature, and threw what ought to 
have come by Spitting, through the Pores of the Skin, wherefore 
in about Fourteen days his Spittle thickned, the Serum being thrown 
out another way, and he was choak’d and died, notwithitanding 
what could be done for him.

ing a tranflation of the Matter from the Joints to the Throat. eRe 
had him immediately Bled to a good quantity, for fear of Suf- deavour- 
focation, and gave him a Dofe or two of Extr. Rad. which ng sie 
working well, he was freed of his fore Throat. He, afterwards, a
