I ftiould have (hown you how they make Strangu- 
ries ; and how, that tho' they do all this and much 
more, yet; by diffipating of vaft quantities of Spirits, 
and by great Difcharges of Humidity, they may and 
really do fuch Mifchief, that can neither be avoided 
nor repaired by all our Medicines^ or Pearled Draughts. 
But to come nearer our purpofe 'tis moft evident, 
that if the Wounding of this Nerve or a Branch, be fo 
abfblutely neceffary for Curing a Delirium and a Fevei", 
that Vi'hatfoever Mi/chief the applying vaft Numbers 
'of Blifters over all the Body may do ; yet the m^in 
end is neglefted, if you forget a large one high on the 
Nop of the Neck. Secondly^ That if there is no Vefi- 
cation after the laying on a (Irong Plaiftcr, it necefli- 
rily eflabliflies a new and prodigious Hardnefs in the 
Skin and Veflels, a thickning of the Blood for a further 
total flop ; but nothing of the Blifters chufing to grap- 
ple firft with the Spirits. 
Many Inferences of that fort may be made, but I have 
already, I'm afraid tried Patience too far.
