covering it when lort, that fhe is fo abundantly fumifhed 

 with Drains and Outlets, for fuch are moll or all the 

 Glands, by which Secretion is performed ; but though 

 Nature is to be carefully obferved, and followed in all her 

 Motions, and to be aflirted when her Operations are too 

 weak and imperfcd, or reftrain'd when too powerful ; yet 

 fhe is not to be compell'd, but muft herfelf be the Begin- 

 ner, and very often the Finifher of the Work alfo. And 

 therefore, whenever the Pra^ftitioner finds her own Efforts 

 fruitlefs, while fhe is endeavouring one while by one Se- 

 cretion, and at other Times by another, to give Vent to that 

 •which opprefl'es her, he is not to be over-forward in affift- 

 ing her in her rellrain'd Inclinations, but conclude with 

 himfelf, that the Matter is not as yet render'd of fuch a 

 due Magnitude or Smallnefs, as to be carried along the 

 Canals, and difcharg'd by the Veflels which are appointed 

 for that Purpofe ; fo that his Bufinefs is only to help her 

 with fuch Things as will thicken or attenuate, ^c, as he 

 fhall fee Occafion ; waiting with Patience until her more 

 fenlible Operations become permanent and lafting, and that 

 ihe becomes free and eafy in all her Exertions ; and this 

 Change is what the Phyficians call the Crifis^ or Turn of 

 a Dirtemper. 



But when her Operations are too violent and powerful, 

 jf Life Is thereby at Stake, as in the Inftances above-men- 

 tioned, by an excefiive Hemorrhage of Blood, or an Influx 

 into fome Part, occafioning a Suffocation ; or, in Cafe of 

 an augmented Secretion continuing too long, then the Rules 

 already laid down mull be followed. But if it happens, as 

 may be often obferved in imperfefl Cryjes^ that an He- 

 snorrhage of Blood proceeds only from a Rupture of Vef- 

 lels that are very fmall, or that the Blood, by Reafon of 

 jts abated Heat, flows but moderately ; or if a Tumour 

 ariles, or an Abfcefs be found in any Part of the Body, by 

 which Life is not in Danger ; thefe are not to be prevented, 

 butmanag'd in a Way that is fuitable to the Nature of fuch 

 Accidents.
