FOURTH LECTURE. 34d 



ach retracted near the sploe. His urine resem- 

 bled serum, and deposited a whitish sediment. Af- 

 ter taking a number of medicines without relief, by 

 the advice of some one, he began to drink salt wa- 

 ter. He dissolved two pounds of muriate of soda in 

 four pounds of water, which he took in the space 

 of an hour. This drink deranged him much, and 

 at length excited violent pulling, which hrought up 

 a quantity of worms, and he evacuated several 

 more in six or seven bloody stools, after an obsti- 

 nate costiveness of fourteen days. 



Recovered from these operations, he again took 

 the same quantity of salt water. The effect was 

 nearly the same, and he evacuated the residue of 

 dead worms. After being thus cured, he habituat- 

 ed himself to take, three or four days after each 

 full moon, half a pound of muriate of soda in a 

 pound of water, to secure himself in his improved 

 state. It is very probable, that if he had dimin- 

 ished the dose of salt, he would have obtained 

 the same good effects, without suffering the de- 

 rangement and palsy which his treatment induced. 



(;^19) Clysters of emulsion of gum arable, de- 

 coction of rue, and solutions of starch, are also 

 very good, etc.
