Steel Courfe, which after it was patiently gone through with great 
romiles of relief, fhe keeping a very good Diet, and exercifing on 
Horfeback and Foot, was brought to her perfect Health. Com- 
plaining to me very much of a giddinels in her Head, and that fhe 
had not regularly her Catamenia, | had her bled in che Foot, once or 
twice, which did her a great deal of good, and fhe was ordered to 
take Millepedes every morning ina Glas of water, wich which fhe was 
very well, ae 
About two months after fhe was well of this Difeafe, the fell into 
a Colick and Conftipation of her Belly. She had not beer at Stool 
in fome time, had very violent and extraordinary Colical pains in 
her Belly, and was fhivering as one in a Fit of an Ague. I gave 
her immediately about gv. 1. of Laud. Lond. with 15. gr.of Extr. 
~ Rad, that after her pains were aflwaged by che Opiat, fhe might have 
Ofthe Bel-a Stool by the Extr. Rud. She fell into moft violent convullive mo- 
ise .,tions, and foam’d at Mouth, but being broughe to herfelt by burnt 
termitting Feathers, Volatile Salts, Spirits, exc. fhe complain’d of intolerable 
Rae and pains, till the Opiat made her eafie. After fhe had eafe, the Phyfick 
pe began to work, it gave her fome very good Stools, and remov’d the 
Diitemper in her Belly, by voiding fome hard, round Balls or Pel- 
lets, like Sheeps Dung. She was feverifh, and inclining to Swear. 
I gave her fome Sp. CC. in a Decoction of Sage and Rofemary to for- 
ward that motion of Nature, to try thereby to root out that which [ 
was afraid might in time fhow ics felf, viz, an intermictting Fever. 
This accordingly happen’d, and it return’d in about Forty hours, 
with the fame Symptoms, only no Belly-ach, which had becn ac. 
cidental to the firft Fir. This fecond Fit began with inclination, and 
reachings to Vomit, which I promoted by thin Watergruel, and a 
Feather put into her Throat. _ By this proceeding there was a prefent 
alleviation of Symptoms fora moment. After thefe Vomitings came 
the cold Fit, with which I ftruggled with Sp. C C. and fuch things, 
fhe having Convulfions in it, which were ftrong. After the Con- 
vulfions came the hot Fit, very burning, in which wasa great Thirft, 
and delirous Difcourfe, for thefe i gave her as many cooling Liquors 
as fhe defired to drink, When the Sweat began to appear, then { 
ply’d her with hot Sudorificks, by which fhe {weated very plenti- 
fully. After the Fic was over, confidering its violence, and her Con- 
fticution, I told her | apprehended fome danger, if fhe fuffered any 
more Fits, and therefore adviled her to cure this Fever immediately 
with the Cortex Peruv. which I gave her. She mift all figns of a 
Fic after fhe had taken it. I gave her Milleped. to one hundred in a 
morniag alive, to hinder Obftructions, and forward the Men/frue 
Purgationes. She found relief in them, and was perfectly well. 
People who have the Belly-ach have generally rhumatick or gouty 
pains
