her about his Houfe, remov'd her from thence to his Plantation 
whereby I had no opportunity of further trial of Skill with this Di- 
itemper. This was a very ftrange Difeafe noc only in its felf, but 
that ic followed very regularly the Fulland New Moon. I have 
feen more Difeafes than this, come exaétly at thofe times ; but the 
have generally been Epilepfies, or other Difeafes of the Head, and 
have not been fo vifible as were thefe Bladders of water before- 
mentioned, 
One nighr, very late, I was fent for tothe Grawile Plantation to a 
Girl of about Twelve years of Age, of Mr. Bozles. She hada veryOf a 
great {Welling in her Throat with pain, difficulty of {wallowing Quinte. 
and breathing, join’d with a Fever. I immediately took Ten Ounces 
of Blood out of herright Arm, gave her about one Scruple of Pil, 
Coch. Min. diflolv’d in water, for her more eafie {wallowing her Me- 
dicine, order’d her cooling Drinks and Juleps, made a Linétus of fair 
Water, Whites of Eggs beat to water, and Sugar-candy, which fhe 
was defired to {wallow down eafily. Wizh the ufe of thefe Reme- 
dies, I furthered defired, that in cafe, in my abfence, her difficulty 
of breathing fhould augment, they fhould immediately bleed her 
again. By the ule of thefe directions fhe entirely recovered. 
The fame Girl, fome months after, was at Port-Royal taken ill 
of an intermitting Fever, which hanging very long about her, dif- 
colour’d her Face. She look’d very pale, had likewife a {welling in’ 
the right Alypochondre on the Region of the Liver, and was very Ca- 
cheétic. toidthem I thought this Difeafe was the effect of the Fe- — 
vers long continuance, and lurking about her, without being cur'd by Of a co- 
fome effectual Remedy. I thought it convenient to carry off fome #47 
of the Morbific Matter to purge eafily with Extr, Rud. to give her 
a Diet Drink of Sarfa, China, exc. for ordinary Drink, and to put 
her in a {mall time into a Steel Courfe, by which means in fome 
Weeks her Belly grew lank, fhe well colour’d, and perfectly rid of 
her Cachexy. 
Two of her Brothers werethen troubled with Quotidians, the FitsOf a Qu- 
lafted twelve hours, and they were treated by Phyficians of feveral ““” 
Notions, with feveral methods for removing them. They were 
not at all relieved, but grew Cacheétic as their Sifter had been, their 
Bellies-began to {well, and they to look pale. I advifed without 
any delay, the ule of the Cortex Peruy. which given as I us‘d to do, 
curd them ; but their Fevers had continu’d fo long about them, that 
they being Cacheétic, I put them into the Steel Courle betore-men- 
tioned, whereby they were perfectly recovered.
