Soon after this I was called to a Son of Mr. Yates, 
a noted Farmer at Hampton-Lovat in this County. 
He was about twelve Years of Age, and this wasthefixth 
Day from the firft Seizure. The Puftules were con- 
fluent, and appear’d like bloody Pimples: His Bread 
was cover’d with Tetechi# and purple Spots t He 
had a great Itching of the Nofe, fo that an Hemor- 
rhage from thence was to be fear’d. He had been 
delirious for two or three Days pad, and his Pulfe 
was very weak, quick, and trembling, I order’d 
him Extr.Cort.Yeruv. i Scruple every third Hour, 
and acidulated all his Liquors with 01. Vitriol well 
cover’d with Syr. Samba c. 
The purple Spots difappcar’d, after he had taken 
two Drachms of the Extract (which nevcrthelefs 
was continued on thro’ the whole Difeafe). The 
Pudules came on very favourably, and the Diftem- 
per afterwards, in its feveral Stages, more refembled 
the didindt Small-Pox than the confluent : Yet I never 
£aw one where the Puftuks were more numerous, and 
more truly confluent, not on the Face only, but the 
Arms and the whole Body : For, in many Parts, the 
Skin was raifedfor a confiderable Extent by the included 
Yus, as if it had been done by a bliftering Plaifter; par- 
ticularly the Arms from the Elbows to the Wrifts 
were intirely raw > the Skin, upon letting out the 
Matter, coming off like a Glove in one intire Piece, 
About the fame time I was call’d to a young 
Man of 21 Years of Age in the Parifh of Elmley - 
Lovat in this County, who, during the Eruption of 
the Small-Pox (which appeared on the fccond Day 
of his Illnefs), had a violent Haemorrhage from the 
Nofe, Purples very numerous, and exceffive Pain in.
