Alexipharmick Medicines are in no wife contraindi- 
cated by this Method (if judg’d needful). This Way 
Nature affects in Children, to whom a gentle Diarrhoea 
is commonly of the greateft Service, as proving a hap- 
py Subftitute to the Salivation in elder Perfons. 
The following Hiftory will evince, how necelfary 
it may be fometimes to evacuate an ofFending acrimo- 
nious Matter lodg’d in the Guts, and that too, even in 
the Mid ft of the Suppuration. 
About three Months lince, I had under my Care 
a * Perfon about 30, ill of the Small-Pox . It happen’d, 
that the 4th Day from the Eruption, he was feiz’d 
with a violent bilious Colick, to which he had been 
formerly fubjed: This threw him into the utmoft 
Agony. His Pox flatted and grew pale, as likewife the 
Interfaces : His Pulfe was extreme languid, and he 
had a prodigious Tremor , with clammy Sweats. I or- 
der’d him two Clyflers to be thrown up ; one aftoon 
as the other was render’d : Thefe gave him five large 
bilious Stools : After the third Stool, he was tolerably 
eafy : However, I order’d him Laudan. Solid. Gr. 
1 ft. Croc. Anglic. Gr. iv. Theriac. Andremach 3ft. 4 tis 9 
vel 6 tis horis , to be wafh’d down with a teftaceous Ju- 
lep. He took the Laudan. three Times, and flept found 
all Night. . The next Morning, I found the Puftules 
round, florid and turgid, ft he Man got over the Diftem- 
per, tho’ he relapfed into his Colick fome Days after 
the Turn, which upon purging with Calomel , &c. and 
the Ufe of Opiates , foon left him. This Perfon, before, 
and at the Eruption, complain’d of a great Difficulty 
of Breathing, with a fhort importunate Cough, and a 
violent Pain under his Sternum • for which Reafon/I 
order’d 5 xvi of Blood to be drawn, which was very 
fizy.
