him to be bled in the Arm to about Ten Ounces, and gave him a 
Linétus of Sugar-Candy and Oil, and a Pectoral Decodtion of Barly, 
Liquorifh, Raifins, zc. He immediately found himfelf much bet-

and Sal Prunelle, of each half a Dram, and to fwallow morning 
and evening the half on’t, drinking afterwards a Pectoral Draught, 
and in cafe of a Relapfe I ordered him to be bled: The Ship Chi-

wrought five or fix times upwards and downwards, and found him 
in very great anxieties, with a {mall Pulfe, Cramps of Convulfions, 
cold Sweat, cold Hands, Arms, Feet and Legs. I gave him pre-
