 for feveral days, if the fever does not return. After 

 the intermifilon of three or four periods of the pa-

 only every four hours, taking care to give a dofe a

 complaint does not return, the quantity may be in 

 the fpace of a week or ten days ftill farther dimi- 

 riifhed, but it mud not be left off entirely for the 

 ipace of at lead fix weeks. If the diforder has had 

 feveral returns, if it be an autumnal feafon, and the 

 weather rainy, if the fits return every day, or with an 

 interval of two days, or if the patient be weak and 

 emaciated, more caution and attention to the regu- 

 lar adminiftration of the bark will be neceffary. 



It would be a defireable circumftance, if that 

 kind of the Peruvian Bark, called the Red Bark, 

 were to be had genuine ; but at prefent there is rea-

 an obftinate cafe of an intermittent, that fell lately 

 under my care, I had an opportunity of trying the 

 effects of the calamus aromaticus, which given in 

 combination with the Peruvian bark, in the propor- 

 tion of one part to two of the bark, ftopt the pro- 

 grefs of an intermittent that had refitted the bark
