In this case, the first step to cure must be 

 the same as with the other ; that is, bleed to 

 a proper quantity, according to the state of 

 your subject; if he is fail oi flesh, high in 

 condition, and has had no forced evacuations 

 for a length of time, take sufficient in pro- 

 portion to strength : if the symptoms are 

 powerful and threaten obstinacy, give him a 

 couple of the following purging balls six 

 days apart ; the management being strictly 

 regulated by the directions given under, the 

 article of purging, page 36. 



Take succotrine aloes nine drachms; 

 ^thiop's mineral half an ounce ; 

 Castile soap and jalap of each two drachms ; 

 Ginger one drachm ; 

 Oil of juniper forty drops ; 

 Sjrup of buckthorn sufficient to make the ball. 



If this proportion' does not purge quite so- 

 much as desired, add another drachm of aloes ; 

 if on the contrary, it is thought to relax too 

 much, take off a drachm of the jalap. In 

 four days after the last dose, begin with one 

 of the fqllowing balls, and repeat it everyi 

 morning for fifteen days, three weeks, or a 

 month, as the urgency or mildness of the 

 case may require.
