a 
Mrs. Cook fent for me to a Child of hers, which, when I came, 
was juft our of a Convulfion Fic. It wasa year and a half old, and Of Con- 
was not breeding Teeth. I gave it fome drops of Sp.C.C. anda nit 
drop or two of Ol. Succin. in Sugar, diflolv'd in water, and or. 
dered three or four Grains of Cinnabar to be given in any Li- 
quor, or what wa~ they pleasd. The Child falling into another 
Fit, on repeating thefe Medicines had immediate relief. The fame 
Child fell into an intermiting Fever, and in the time of the Paroxy{m 
had Convulfion Fits. I immediately gave the Cortex Peruv. in 
Chocolate, hinder’d the next Paroxy/m of the Fever, and curd the 
Child. 
Mrs.Fuller, aged about Forty years, of a Sanguine Complexion, had 
a {wimming in her Head, could nor Sleep, but wasina manner lighe- 
headed in the nights, having a great many incoherent andtrouble- 
fome Fancies and Chimera’s in her thoughts, She had likewife fome 
pains in her Back, fometimes in one place, and fometimes in ano- 
ther, and,to be fhort, told me fhe had no free part about her, but eve- 
ry where was troubled with one Ailor other. She had likewife eve- 
ry day feveral loofe Stools, and had had feveral Phyfitians, who had Of iyferic 
gone on feveral methods ; but moftly on evacuations by Stool. She : catia 
grew always worfe and worfe on thefe Courfes, was extremely ape nefs, and 
prehenfive of her Life, faw every thing of her Diftemper through a Eee 
magnifying Glafs, and upon any fudden fear or danger, fhe fell into” “°°” 
violent Fits, of which you may fee an inftance before on her Sons 
death. She was very earneft for Evacuations, but I told her that was 
notthe way. Another Phyfician, being confulted, told her that fhe 
could not be relieved, and that ic was Fits. I eafily aflenced to his 
Opinion of the Dileale, and proceeding a contrary way towards her 
cure, would not as yet fuffer any Evacuation, either by Bleeding, 
Scool or Vomit, but ttrove by all means to {top her habitual Loote- 
nes by Decoét. Alb. for her ordinary Drink, Papers of Creta, or 
Chalk powdered, with which I mixt fome Caffor, and gave her 
over night about Two Scruples of this, with a very gentle Opiat. 
She had very many other Cephalicks given her, as Sp. CC. Ol. Succin. 
a Bottle of Volatile Sale to {melleo. She had alfo Juleps of 47. Pulec. 
and other Hyfterics, a Decoétion after the manner of Tea made of 
Sage and Rolemary, and feveral other things of this Nature, by 
which fhe did not feem to.be very much relievd, only the Loofenels 
flopt. Her Head was ftill very light, and full of Fancies. I durft 
not alter the firit nights tryal adventure on any Opiats, but perfifted 
in the other Remedies to {top her loofe Stools, and in the Hyfterics, 
So toon as the Loofenefs was itopt by this method, I puc her into a
