If the Patient be not Rich, and cannot go to the Ek- 
pence of thefe Aliments we have mention'd , he 
may make Broths as he is able , or Milk Meats 
or Food with Water, as it fliall moft agree with his 
Palate, with many frefli Eggs ; this fort oi Nourifliment 
will cover the affefted Part, and will defend it and pre- 
ferve it againft the Sharpntfs of the Humours. 
'Tis ordinary for the diftas'd to believe that theirDyfen- 
teries comes from Heat ; to allay which imaginary Hear^ 
they u(e Water, Chicken Brotb^ or Whey, which often 
proves mortal ro the Patient: Therefore 'tis necelfTary 
to give Notice, That 'tis very necefKiry for them to for- 
bear much drinking undifcreetly to quench their Thirfi • 
for the Heat and Thirft which they teei, areoniy Symp- 
toms and Accidents of their Diilempers, and not the 
Gaufe, they ought therefore to be more moderate io 
drinking than ordinary, feeing nothing hurts them more 
than Excefs of Drinking, which weakens the Stomach, 
and Stifles the Natural Heat : 'Tis therefore convenient, 
only to gargle the Mouth with Water fugar'd,orto keep 
(ome little Verjuice in their Mouths, that may keep 
them from being Thirfty but if he drink, it muft not 
be til! one Hour after Meals. Seei»ng it may fall out that 
fome are enfeebled and erBaciated by the length 
of the Dileafe, it will be convenient in the Intervals to 
give them Gly fters made of Broth, which will ferve to 
maintain them, and to bring tliem mofe quickly to their 
Strength. After the ufe oi the Remedies, they maj, 
tokeep chemftlves in a good Habit of Body, take Goats 
or Cows Milk,, with a little Chocolate, which we leave 
to the Judgment of the Phylkian, putting always to it, 
a litle grated Nutmeg, and Four or Five Grains of Salt 
in^the ..Milky, that it may not-curdleio fooo,-.
