Diftemper, when Epidemic, to have all other Difeafes run into ir, 
as you may {ee by the following inftances. 
Captain 8. agedabout Thirty years, Sanguine in his Conftitution, 
his Stomach being out of order, whereby he eat little, was taken 
very ill with all che Symptoms of the Belly-ach, viz great pains 
about his Navel, Vomiting, chick muddy Urin, ¢c. He had given him 
Purgers of all forts, Clyfters,¢xc. by which he wasreliev'd. He had 
a Relapfe again in a while, as ufual in this Diftemper. He had

Wine for it very liberally, which ufually gave a pretent relief, but 
he was reftlefs, and hot all night atcer, with bis Tongue furr’d in
