in that Agony. I order'd him immediately a Linéus made of 
Syr. de Succo Fleder. Terrefir. Diacodium, Sugar-Candy, and Flor. 
Sulph. which I bid him lick every now and then, from the Point of a 
Knife. ‘This reliev'd him extremely, fo that every thing feem’d to 
be better with the continuance of this Medicine. He flepr lying, 
his Legs were not {well’d fo much, and his Cough gone. I gave 
him fome Sp. of Hartfhorn for his Weaknels, fome Pill of Extr. 
Rud. for his {well’d Legs, and {ome Locatelli’s Balfam for his! Lungs, . 
to hinder Putrefa@tion in them, Thefe Remedies fucceeded very 
well, fo that ina few Weeks time he went abroad, riding about the 
Town every Morning. Having formerly been troubled with Ery- 
fipelas's on his Legs, the depending Pofture of them in riding brought 
down an Eryfipelas, which being very painful, and mightily inflam’d, 
hinder’d him of Sleep, took away his Stomach, and brought to his 
Legs a great Defluxion of ferous Humours. ‘The parts affected were 
bath’d with a Lixivinm, in which were boil’d Wormwood, Rofe- 
mary, Thyme, Bay-Leaves, Orange-Leaves, ¢7c. with a Bortle of 
Wine added to ic at the latter end. With this the parts were often 
bath’d to evaporate the Humours, and hinder a Gangreen ; but every 
thing growing worle, they ask’d my Opinion whether he would 
live. [told them, I believ’d he would not live many Days. ‘They 
confulred the Aftrologers, ( who were much efteemed in Jamaica ) 
who told them, that it he {urviv'd the next Day’s Noon, the Alpects 
of the Planets pofitively agreed to fave his Life, He liv’d three Days

had by the Stars exaétly foretald the Minute of his Death, He had 
before his Death a Gangrene appear'd in Periao. 
One — —, aged about Fifty, came from his Plantation, where he 
had been under the Care of feveral Phyficians without Relief. He 
complain’d of a great Pain in his right Hypochouder. Thinking his 
Liver obftructed, by reafon of a Tumour there, I gave him fuch 
things as ufually avail in fuch Cafes, Hot-Gum-Plaifters, ic. Find- 
ing this Courfe did not work the defired effect, but thac he rather 
erew worfe, and that he began to find: fome Difficulty in making 
Water, I began to doubt a Caruncle, and the Pox to be the chief of 
his complicated Dileafes, and queftioning him very hard about that 
matter, he at length confels’d. it, and that he had feveral times had 
a Gonorrhea ; whereupon { alter’d my Courfe, and he being fo very 
weak as not co endure any manner of Salivation, I gave him fome 
Merc. Dulc. with an eafie Medicine to work it off, and tome things for 
his Cough and fwell’d Legs, which had been on him a great while. 
He fell atterwards into a Flux, which could not be ftopt by Opiats, 
nor any other Remedy I could give, and fo he died, |
