The Introduction. 
Colonel Fuller, aged about Forty five years, very mich troubled 
with the Gout, on taking a Dofe of Jalap in Powder, which wrought 
copioufly, fell into a Naufea, or great inclination to Vomit, and intoor 4 
a Loofenefs. He was troubled with this endeavour to Vomit chiefly Squeam- _ 
after Meat. Ithought the beft Remedy was to give him fome Elixir eeae 
Proprietatis, by that means to remedy his Stomach, and at the fame after 
time by making an eafie irritation downwards to ftop the motion t#king Ja- 
to vomit after Meals. This in fome time took place, and he was a 
well. Once in a violent Fit of the Gout he was taken ill of a 
Loofenefs, in which I ordered him to take fome eafie Opiats, and he 
was cured.

One Hercules, a lufty Black Negro Overfeer, atid Doétor, was Of a Negro 
not only famous amongft the Blacks in his Mafter Colonel Ful- Door fa- 
ler’s Plantation, but amongft the Whites in the Neighborhood, for Peet 
curing feveral Difeafes, and particularly Gonorrheas. He had been norrheas, 
three years before ttoubled with that Diftemper, which he thought aie ic 
by the Country Simples he had cur’d, but came tome, complain- being able 
ing of a very great heat in making water with intolerable pain, and by Speci- 
{calding. Looking upon the pare affected, I found he had neglected 2, "he" 
his Clap, and that Caruncles had grown up and ftopt:almoft quite feafe, that 
the paflage of Urin or Urethra, wherefore Nature had by a Tumour Ee at of i 
and Apoftemation made a paflage for the Urin in Peringo. This paf- hemfelf | 
fage had callous Lips. J order’d him fome: Mercurial Medicines, and 
would have try’d feveral other Remedies for his Cure, hadI not foon 
after leftche Hland. There are many fuch Indian and Black Doétors, 
who pretend, and are {uppofed to underftand, and cure feveral Di- 
ftempers, but by what } could fee by their practice, (which becaufe 
of the great effects of the Jefuics Bark, found out by them, I look’d 
into as much as I could) they donot perform what they pretend, un- 
le(s in the vertues of fome few Simples.. Their ignorance of Ana- 
tomy, Difeafes, Method, ezc. renders even that knowledge of the 
vertues of Herbs, not only ufelefs, but even fometimes hurtful to 
thofe who imploy them. 
Emanuel, a lufty Negro Footman, was ordered over night to get oy = Negré 
himfelf ready againft next morning to be a Guide on Foot for about abe 
an hundred Miles through Woods, to a place of the Ifland, to feize a great 
Pirats, who, asthe Duke of Albemarle was informed, had there un- Sicknefs, 
laded great quantities of Silver, to Careen their Ship. About Twelve 
a Clock in the night he pretended himfelf to be extraordinary fick; 
he lay ftraight along, would not {peak, and diffembled himfelf in 
a great Agony, by groaning, éc. His Pulfe beac well, neither had 
he any foaming at Mouth, or difficulry in breathing. The Euro-
