to a great degree : But then to help it in the way 
1 have already propofed, I had two BHfters each of them 
with Cantharides ; and one of thera with as much C^w- 
phir as Cantharides : I fay, 1 had two Plaifters appli- 
ed after this manner, and for the reafons IJuft now men- 
tioned. Behold what was the event! what found we 
next Morning ; We, I mean Mr. Broohs an Apothe- 
cary who made them, and my felf,- we found that Bli- 
fter wherein the Cantharides were mixt, to have quite 
as good efledts as the other where there was i^one. What's 
the Confequence : that is already determined, viz. That 
if Cantharides faid to he Cor relied wake a Blifier when 
applied to any external part of the' Body ; that they are to 
It thought , not to he Corrected : which is the cafe in 
hand. But to leave thefe Particulars to be fpokc to at 
greater length , by tbofe who are Concerned ; I pro- 
ceed to prove the way of a Blifters Working when it 
Cures a Delirium and a Fever , r as I at Ftr^i Pro- 
pofed. 
The prefent Enquiry is plainly this aftonifliing Phe- 
nomenon that is (b often obfcrved, that the Delirium 
and the Fever are almoft quite defeated by apply mg a 
Blifter ; and in the (pace of Six , Height , or Ten 
Hours. 
The moft fenfifc^e, and the moft vifible efftds of 
applying a Blifter, every one of us that are Phyficians 
or net, obferve to be nothing elfe but the bringing a 
great quantity of w^atry Subftance between the Skin and 
Scarf Skin, and that by applying to the part thus Bli- 
ftered, a Plaiiler made with Cantharides ; 'or the like 
Subftances, rhat Experience has taught us that they can 
Blifter ; And therefore, fincc I have (hewed you the 
many Particulars t hat any one that is to fpeak to Bli- 
ftering, in general is obliged, by the Rules of plain- 
nefs
