patient quiet during the little time he has to 
live. . 
SomMETIMES it happens, that, afterthe com- 
plaints of ftomach and guts are gone, a prick- 
ling pain and feeblenefs remain in the legs, 
much like to a rheumatifm ; for which, fri- 
tion, with a coarfe cloth or fleth-bruth, is 
neceflary. If that fails, ung. mervinum with 
ol. terebinth, mixed, is to be rubbed on every 
night, before the fire; after which, the mem- 
ber is to be wrapped in flannel.—If thefe 
pains are violent, or the feeblenefs refembles 
palfy ; blifters ought to be applied to the fkin 
under which the large nerves are fituated, 
and the medicines proper in a palfy are to be 
given. 
SomE are fo wafted before the cure is com- 
pleated, that they remain afterwards emacia- 
ted, weak, and as if they were hectic, with a 
giddinefs in their head: and fometimes they 
chat to no purpofe, or feem hypochondriac. 
In this condition, the patient fhould go to 
the country, to ride a-horfe-back fome miles 
every day ; and, atthe fame time, fhould take 
bitters with bark and fteel. If the giddinefs 
continues, I have given with fuccefs, pzlul. 
de myrrh. with a fmall proportion of camphor.
