the fkia ; and becomes fuller of puftules, than any other part of 

 the body. See Clafs II. 1. 3. 9. 



It might be fuppofed, that the fucceflive fwelling of the hands, 

 when the face fubfides, at the height of the fmall-pox, and of" 

 t\\c feet, when the hands fubfide, were governed by fome un- 

 known afTociations of thofe parts of the fyftem ; but thefe . fuc- 

 ceflions of tumor and fubfidence more evidently depend on the 

 times of the eruption of the puftules on thofe parts, as they appear 

 a day fooner on the face than on the hands, and a day foorier 

 on the hands than on the feet, owing to the greater comparative 

 mobility of thofe parts of the (kin. 



13. Gutta rofea Jiomatica. Stomatic red face. On drinking 

 cold water, or cold milk, when heated with exercife, or on eat- 

 ing cold vegetables, as raw turnips, many people in harveit-time 

 have been afflicted with what has been called a furfeit. The 

 itomach becomes painful, with indigeftion and flatulency, and 

 after a few days an eruption of the face appears, and continues 

 with fome relief, but not with entire relief; as both the pimpled 

 Face and indigedion are liable to continue even to old age. 



M. M. VenefecHon. A cathartic with calomel. Then half 

 a grain of opium twice a day for many weeks. If faturated fo- 

 lution of arfenic three or five drops twice or thrice a day for a 

 week ? 



14. Gutta rofea hepahca. The rofy drop of the face of fome 

 drinking people is produced like the gout defcribed below, in 

 confequence of an inflamed liver. In thefe conftitutions the 

 Ckin of the face being expofed to greater variation of heat and 

 cold than the membranes of the liver, poiTefies more mobility 

 than thofe hepatic membranes ; and hence by whatever means 

 thefe membranes are induced to fympathize, when this fenfitive 

 aifociation occurs, the cutaneous vefTels of the face run into 

 greater degrees of thofe motions, which conftitute inflammation, 

 than previoufly exifted in the membranes of the liver •, and then 

 thofe motions of the liver ceafe. See Clafs II. 1. 4. 6. 



As inflammation of the liver fo frequently attends the great 

 potation of vinous fpirit, there is reafon to fufpe<St, that this vif- 

 cus itfelf becomes inflamed by fenfitive afTociation with the 

 itomach ; or that, when one termination of the bile-duel;, which 

 enters the duodenum, is ftimulated violently, the other end may 

 become inflamed by fenfitive afTociation. 



15. Podagra. The gout, except when it affects the liver or 

 Itomach, feems always to be a fecondary difeafe, and, like the 

 rheumatifm and cryfipelas mentioned below, begins with the 

 torpor of fome diftant part of the fyftem.
