ipo TOREEN'S VOYAGE. 



Besides the aforementioned difeafe, fevers 

 frequently attack Europeans', Th/s' French at 

 firfb loft a great many men by .this diforder, 

 and were at lafl (according to their own ac- 

 count) obliged to have recourfe to the phy- 

 ficians of this country, who reject the ufe of 

 bleeding and of tamarinds in agues. Tama- 

 rinds are not half fo much in ufe mEaJl India 

 as in Europe. The red-dog is a difeafe which 

 -a£Pii£ts almoft all foreigners in hot countries, 

 especially if they refide near the fhore, at the 

 time when it is hotted:. This diftemper dif- 

 covers itfeif by red fpots which look like 

 meafles, itch and prickle, and then become 

 little bladders, which, when they vaniih, take 

 the fkin away along with them. 



The friction ufed among the ancients feems 



to have been very rational. A perfon of fome 



• confequence in Suraite is always rubbed at 



night by his fervants, as an expedient of great 



ufe to promote the circulation of the blood. 



Their mufic is but very mean. Italian 

 pieces you are fure not to hear of in this coun- 

 try ; but inltead of it, the noil'e of brafen- 

 bafons and little drums with one or two bot- 

 toms.
