fbat it flionld bcadminiftred in great quantities, and be 
often repeated ; but the Fever it felt mult always be 
ciir'd with thtCortex. When a Remitting Fever lsturn- 
ing Malignant, the Cortex is ftill to be us'd as long as 
the Patient can bear it j but unlcfs the Spirits are railed 
by Epifpaftics and Akxipharmicks to a degree of Vigour

feveral Ihkd: Hiftories of Spurious Remittents, fome of 
which degenerated into Malignant Fevers, the better to 
illuftrate his Hypothefis,and to confirm the admirable ufe 
and vertue of the Cortex. 
He concludes his Book with a Compendious Hifiory 
of this Remitting Fever from the Year 1658. to the 
Year 1691. in whigh it is very obfervable that the great 
Plague in 1 66 (of which here is a brief Account) did 
not quite obliterate this Fever and that when L ; y ferne- 
ries reign'd lb much in London from 1666. till 1672. the 
Flux and the Gripings were only Symptomatica!, but 
the Difeafe it felf a Remitting Fever, and wasfuccefsfully 
cur'd by tho, Cortex mixt with Laudanum. Here is like- 
wife an Hiftory of the Meafles, w ; hich were Epidemical 
in the Autumn i6jz. which very much refembled a Re- 
mitting Fever, and in fbme cafes admitted of the uflb.of 
the Cortex : But he fays little upon that Subject, defign- 
ing, as fbon as his other Employments will'give him 
leave to publifh an entire Treatife of the Meafles,. Scar- 
let Fever, Small Pox, and other Inflammatory Fevers, 
in which he hath already made good Progrefs.
