I he Salivation, which conftantly ought to accom- 
pany the Maturation in the Confluent Small-Pox , 
was in feveral very inc nfiderable, in fome none at all*, 
faving a very fmall Quantity |of extremely vifcid 
Matter, which was got off by fyringing. 1 had two 
adult Perfons, and fome Children, labouring under the 
confluent Sort, who neither falivated, nor purged, ex- 
cept when fome lenient Catharticks were given them * 
and yet they got over the Diftemper. Indeed, it was 
very rare, that we Ihould And Children have that 
gentle Diarrhoea which Sydenham , and others juftly 
reckon, fupplies the Salivation in Perfons of more ad- 
vanced Age. Some very young Children, on the 
contrary, drivell’d exceedingly through theCourfe of 
the Diftemper. In * two Children, one of five, the 
other of feven Pears old, no Salivation came on till 
after the isth Day, and then it was fo profufe, and 
continued fo long, that it was with Difficulty l'put a 
Stop to it by Purges flrft, and then by the Bark,

maxillary and parocid Glands, of thofe that recover’d 
would remain fwoln and indurated for a conliderable 
Time after the intire Defquammation of the Pox 
(though that was very flow) nor would thefe Tu- 
mors go off, but after repeated t Purging, and that
