not we feen Tome Intermittents cur’d by one feafonable 
Vomit } And that not barely by the Shock and Agi- 
tation given to the Blood- V eife Is, Nervofnm y &c. 
and fo acting as an Attenuant } but by throwing off 
the Saburra from the Stomach, which fed the feveriih 
Paroxyfms : And this is more particularly evident in 
the Fever frequently fuperveninga Surfeit. Hence it 
is, that a final 1 Quantity of the Bark fometimes does 
more after a Vomit, than a much greater cou’d before 
it. Why, therefore, when there is a Lodgment of pu- 
trid Matter in the Prim* Vj^ which, in part, atleaft, 
feeds the fecondary Fever, fhould not we attempt to 
carry it off by either gentle Vomiting or Purging, as 
may be judg’d moft convenient } 
It hath, and may be objeded to this Pradice, that 
it tends to draw the noxious Humors from the Cir- 
cumference to the Center ; but to this it hath been 
anfwer’d, that the Purging is more efpecia'ly pleaded 
for, when the Incruffation is begun, and the Matter 
too thick to be abforb’d. 
If Nature, neither by her own Effort, nor the Help 
of Art, is capable of keeping the morbific Matter from 
falling on the more vital Parts j but, by an unfortu- 
nate Tranfiation of it, is like to fink under its Weight: 
As upon a fudden Retrocefiion of the Tumor of the 
Face and Hands j a premature Suppreffion of the Sa- 
livation, or the like: Doth it not feem neceffary to 
endeavour to carry off the offending Matter by fome 
other Outlet? As, in the prefent Cafe, by the Guts, 
which are much more eafiiy folicited to a Difcharge, 
than either the Pores of the Skin, the urinary Paffes, 
^r the falivary Duds. 
Indeed, when the Salivation of courfe ceafes, (in my 
Opinion) it feems neceffary to promote fome other Eva- 
cuation in its Room. At the fame Time, Cardiack, or
