Night; by means of which he got fome Sleep, of

When he had taken the Cinnabar Five or Six Days, 
.and during that time had no Stool, it was thought 
proper to give him a Clyfter ; which brought away 
all the Medicine, without the leaft Alteration j nor 
was there ever after this Time any Appearance of any 
Mucus being fecreted by the Inteftinal Glands, he 
never going to Stool above once in a Week (and 
then there came away a few Lumps of Excrement as 
hard as Pieces of Wood) ; which were expelled with 
fuch Labour and Fatigue as can hardly be imagined ; 
though he generally took an oily Clyfter to render it 
more eafy, and waftied down his Medicines with a 
foapy Draught. 
The Joint of the Hip was now become quite ftifF, 
all the Inguinal Glands being loaded with the fame

to be compofed ; and a large Clufter more of them 
might be felt under the Glutei Mufcles , and behind 
the Trochanter. 
The Cinnabar was now left off, and mercurial 
Un&ion propofed and confented to ; and accordingly 
a proper Quantity was rubbed in every Night, flop- 
ping now-and-then to fee what Turn it would take > 
and in this Courfe he continued for more than a 
Month, but without any Benefit, nor did the Mer- 
cury produce any vifible Effeff on him. 
Sir Edward Hulfe , being called in, dire&ed the 
burnt Sponge, which he took for fome time, till, 
growing worfe and weaker, he determined to try 
Ml*. Ward.
