Walpole’s cafe, which he had both from Dr. Shaw 
and Mr. Graham, viz. that after ufing the foap and 
lime-water for fome time, his Lordfhip was freed 
from a very obdinate dry and fcurfy eruption, which 
had redded feveral other medicines. But as there 
were no marks of a putrid fcurvy (that fpecies ex-

lithontriptic medicines may be prejudicial to one

incident to failors) and yet not be improper for thofe, 
that are fubjedt to the fcurfy eruptions, which are 
commonly, tho’ erroneoufly, called fcorbutic.
