Years, as I have ftnce done Ounas in anf fubmuem Campaign, or Sum- 
mer *, the nxture of the fcVivs being iince quite altered, and therefore re- 
quiring a different Method of Cure, 
And as for the common pradlice of the NciberlattJ Thyficiam, in not 
urire the for the of t^guest lam apt to believe, that it may 
hive proceeded from a fear of Imo^ation in HyCick, by a New Medicine of 
that importance. As it happened before to the Learned Facult) oi Paris, 
who were as much aPaid of hinovatiom, and all cried out Ftre^ v/hen 
Spjgyrtcal Fyepar.iiions came firftinto ufe. For prudent Perfons will not 
lightly relinquiili an Eftabliilied Method. And I can fay farther in their 
behalf, that forae few among them do begin to be convinced, that the 
does not defei ve to be too much negle<fted in the Cure of %Agues. I may 
add concerning it, wdiatis faid th^haUans, Whtnthey are Good, they 
are extraordinary Good ; and vjhen Bad, as extraordinary Bad ; So it may 
be faid of the Bark, in what cafes foever it is properly adminiftred, no 
Medicine was ever known to have fuch great and good Effects ,* but when it 
is improperly, or unfeafonably given, it becomes oneof the moE Dangerous 
that can be ufed. And therefore thofe who fliall think fit to ufe this Bark 
in hazardous or difficult Cafes , or in Afthmatick Perfons, mull be fure 
CO have a very watchful Eye over it, to obferve whether it agrees, or 
difagrees , and accordingly to profecute , or quickly defill from its 
life. 
But it may heObjeSedj Th2t ty^gue/ are in fome Countries more Dan* 
serous in their Nature, and Difficult of Cuje, than they are in others; 
as they are faid to be with us in the Hundreds of E£ex, and in the I/le 
of Sheppey. And therefore that the Dutch may have good reafon for 
neglcdtmg, or deferring, as they do, to Cure their y^gaes by the ufe of 
the Cor/ejc, or Bark i and which poffibly they do think will not agree fo 
W ell with thetr L^gues, or their lempti s, as it it found to do with ours. 
To which I Anfwer, That when I was abroad, I never obferved one 
iifigle Perfon, either at Loo, or in the Field, who mifs’d a Cure of his 
^gue by the ufe of the Bark, or who had any ^lelafpe afterwards, that 
throughly followed my Dire6fions, both before and afer he had lolf his 
Fits. And in that Succefs, I do think my felf very much obliged to the 
Worthy Mr. F\ptiertnond, Apothecary to His MsjeJiy^s Ferfon, for his 
fo good choice of the Bark I ufed, and who is perfe(5fly skilful in the 
knowledge of Simples, and in all the parts of Pharmacy. Indeed fome 
of His Msjr/fy's inferiour Servants had Reiapjh through their own negleft 
and folly, becaufe they would needs think themfelves well before Idid, 
and fo foon as they had mifs’d the Fit, would let me here no more of 
them u’ 1 1 another Fit Returned •, and this would f-^raerimes happen more 
than once unto the fame Perfon.
