394 ESSAYS and OBSERVATIONS 



I have likewife feen a letter from Mr 

 Small a gentleman who lives in the High- 

 lands, and who has been in ufe, for fome 

 time paft, to give the corrofive fublimate 

 pills, by Dr Gardiner's direftions, to many 

 patients labouring under the fivvens, and 

 likewife to others affedled with worms. 

 He fays, that he has had remarkable fuc- 

 cels with them in both thefe difeafes. 



Upon the whole, I think there is rea- 

 fon to believe, that this method of giving 

 the corrofive liiblimate will be of confide- 

 rable ufe in obftinate cafes of worms , and 

 likewife, that it is a convenient method of 

 giving mercury in feveral other difeafes.
