greek ; and thefe fliould alfo be quicken'd with a Mixture 

 of penetrating Oils or Ointments, as thofe of Marfli-mal- 

 lows. Earth-worms ; or with fome fpirituous Mixture, as 

 the redify'd Spirits of Wine, or Brandy» or a fmall Quan- 

 tity of Camphire in fine Powder, flirr'd into the whole 

 Compofition over warm Aflies, or before the Fire ; for by 

 this Means a moderate Pcrfpiration will be ftill maintained 

 in the difeafed Part, which might otherwife be over much 

 obftrucled by the Relaxation that might follow a continual 

 Application of emollient foftening Things. 



And it will be here neceflary, as well as in the Strangles, 

 after the Swellings are opened, to apply little Bolllers in all 

 the hollow Parts between the Jaws and under the Ears, that 

 if there {hould chance to be a more than ordinary Quanti- 

 ty of Matter continually falling into the Holiovvnefs, it may 

 not have Room to make any other Lodgment for itfelf but 

 what is proper. 



Sometimes thofe Kernels continue hard and fwell'd with- 

 out Inflammation, and fometimes adventitious or BallarJ 

 Kernels grow out into thofe Parts, and are of little or no 

 Ufe, but rather to be accounted Excrefcences ; thefe may- 

 be extirpated and cut off, taking Care to avoid hurting the 

 Branches of the Jugular Artery ; and if there chance to be 

 an EfFufion of Blood from the fmaller Branches, which are 

 often rnlarged after continued Swellings in thofe Parts, that 

 may be ftopp'd by fearing with an Iron moderately heated, 

 according to the Directions hereafter laid down for Caute- 

 rizing and giving the Fire. 



But if thefe Kernels continue hard and fwell'd without 

 Inflammation, and have an Appearance as if they might be 

 rsfolv'd, it is then much the bell Way to ufe fuch Applica- 

 tions as are proper to difcufs them ; becaufe Swellings and 

 Inflammation in the glandulous kernelly Parts are trouble- 

 fome, whether the Ifluebe good or bad. 



Therefore the fame Plaiiter that was already dire£led X.Q 

 remove the remaining Hardnefs of the Strangles, may be ap- 

 plied all over the Kernels, and the fame Method us'd inter- 

 nally to promote the Pailage of the Blood through their 

 compa6t Subftance : But the Reader may receive further 

 Satisfadtion on this Head, by confulting that Part where 

 \ye have ijiade fonjc Obfervalions concerning Tumours.
