piled leathers fhould be nicely put round the joints of the ma- 

 chine 5 and a wet cloth round the injecting pipe to prevent the 

 return of the fmoke by the fides of it. Clyfters of carbonated v

Harrowgatc water taken into the ftomach, fo as to induce fix 

 or feven llools every morning, for four or fix weeks, is perhaps 

 the moli efficacious method in common ufe. A factitious Har- 

 rowgate water may be made probably of greater efficacy than 

 the natural, by difiblving one ounce of marine fait, (called bay 

 fait) and half an ounce of magnefia Glauber's fait, (called Epfom 

 fait, or bitter purging fait) in twenty-eight ounces of water. A 

 quarter or half a pint of this is to be taken every hour, or two 

 hours in the morning, till it operates, with a tea-fpoonful of a 

 folntion of liver of fulphur, which is to be made by putting an 

 ounce of hepar fulphuris into half a pint of water. See Clafs
