Let it be carefully attended to, and worked 

 oft as fpecified under the direction for purging. 

 If the phyfic works favourably, and fets well, 

 let his feed (if his appetite is keen), for four 

 clear days, be plentiful ; and on the fifth, or 

 lixth at fartheft, repeat his purging ball, con- 

 ducting the operation as before. If the dif- 

 temper has attacked him with violence, or 

 makes rapid progrefs, a third dole muft be 

 given in like manner ; on the contrary, if the 

 difeafe is mild, and early difcovered, the two 

 may do. In two days after your courfe of 

 phyfic is completed begin upon the following 

 ant'imonial alteratives, afiiiled by a regular 

 adminiilration of nitre ; both being continued a 

 month without the moil trifling intermifiion : 



Take of prepared antimony one pound ; 

 Common fulphur twelve ounces j 

 Cream of tartar eight ounces ; 

 Cinnabar of antimony fix ounces. 



Incorporate well in a mortar, and divide into 

 twenty equal parts, giving one every night in 

 the corn, firft fprinkling with water to enfure 

 its adhefion ; giving two ounces of nitre in 

 the water every morning, at which time he 

 will generally drink it with the greater 

 9 avidity.
