combine this medicine with camphor, 

 and give it in fmall quantities, fo as to ex- 

 cite no fenfible evacuation, and to direct 

 its effects towards the external fuperfi- 

 cies, by fudorifics : And perhaps there 

 is no good effect which can be procured 

 by a falivation, which may not be more 

 advantageoufly obtained by this me- 

 thod. By this treatment, the protube- 

 rances fubfide, and the fcales fall off, 

 leaving the fkin fmooth and even. This 

 effect may indeed be obtained by mer- 

 cury, in any ftage of the difeafe ; but 

 if it is exhibited too early* the diforder 

 will again return in fome months. The 

 infectious matter, depofited on the foles 

 of the feet, not being difcharged, pro- 

 duces fubcutaneous fores, which are 

 called Tubboes, and are often trouble- 

 fome for months, and even years. Thefe 

 are ufually cauterized, or the fkin is 

 firft fcarified, and the hot juice of roafted 

 limes is applied.
