Case III. 
Mr. Rofs, the Surgeon above-mentioned, having 
caught the Gaol c Diftemper , by attending thofe who 
were Tick of it on board, came afhore at Gravefend, 
and defircd me to provide another Surgeon ; for that 
he was fo ill he could not go the Voyage. He was 
blooded, and took 16 Grains of Musk in a Giafs of 
Rum, without the Cinnabars, which were not to be 
had afhore, nor eafily to be fetch’d from on board. 
This was at Night ; he flept, perfpir’d, and waked 
about io in the Morning fo well, that he went on 
board dire&ly, and continued his Voyage. 
Case IV. 
Encouraged by many Inftances of the iirfl: Cafe, I 
ventured, about three Years ago, to give half the 
Tonqain Dofe (but without the Spirits) to my own 
Child, then about three Years old, who was feized 
with the Small-Pox and Convulfions. She flept found, 
and pcrfpircd plentifully after it: The Small-Pox 
rofe kindly, and fhe did very well, having never had 
a (Ingle Fit of Convuifion fince, though extremely 
fuhjcd to frequent and dangerous ones before. 
Case V. 
About two Years ago, Mr. Rofs gave much the 
fame Dofe to my Servant’s Child, who was then about 
eight Months old, and had Catchings in her Hands, 
occaflon’d by a violent Teeth Fever. She flept, per- 
fpired, and waked perfectly well.
