in all Perfons who daily take it, whofe Pulfe is 
full and high, though foft. It is therefore evi- 
dent that the Blood ftands in need of a larger Space *, 
which is procured to it by opening a Vein. As 
to purging it is not fo necefiary, except the firft 
Paffages are very full i becaufe the Bark, for a few 
Days at the Beginning, frequently operates as a Ca~

Therefore in a tertian or quartan Fever, after the 
Patient has been prepared by Blood-letting, and 
likewife by Purging, if requifite, let him take the

had to the Difeafe, the Seafon, and the Age of the 
Patient. For a Fever which is attended with bad 
Symptoms and long Paroxyfms, which invades in
