I Imagin’d the Ufe of the Lychen cinereus terrejtris 
with black ‘Pepper , had been fo infallible a Re- 
medy for the Bite of a MadSDog , that there needed 
no Proofs of its Virtue: I myfelf have ufed it upon 
Dogs, and always with Succcfs s and it is ftrong in ray 
Memory, that fome Years ago, a Mad -‘Dog or Cat (I 
forget which) had bit fome Children and the Mother, 
at Battle ; the Chirurgeon came over to my Brother, 
Dr. Rofe Fuller , and we all went out in a Snow, 
with a Broom, and found fome of it, and mix’d it as the 
Account of ‘Dampier dire&ed. They all took it, as 
well as a Dog or two that were bit, and none of them 
had any bad Effects from the Bite.
