Feather, every fourth Hour ^ or if they be mternal, mt 
niufl: Siringe it with a qiaaner of a Spoonful of this Oyf, 
the Pain will ceafe in lefs than Two Hours, and the He- 
morrlioids will wither away, without having need of ap- 
plying any other Medicine. This was Communicated 
to me by Mr. Gafelier^ one of the beft Artifts of his Time, 
of whom it may be faid, as a fufficient Mark of Honour, 
that M.Colhert (who did, with fo much Judgment, take

is to keep ones felf free from Prejudices, and to fufpend 
his Judgment till the Event fliew what we may believe 
of it. 
It is convenient, to tell thofe who. fear to take thefe 
Remedies by the Mouth, that they may be cured by ao 
outward Application, the Uft of which, I ought to keep 
to my felf, to give to every Patient in particular, that
