forbid him the ufe of acid fruits, and aliments, that 
are liable to turn four, as milk, wine, &c. 
This medicine fucceeds equally well in uterine eva- 
cuations. In thefe cafes it muft be continued 15 or 
20 days, giving it every other day, according to the 
patient’s ftrength, or the quamity given at a dofe. 
With this medicine alone I have likewife cured a 
girl of eighteen, who had the jiuor albus abundantly 
from the age of twelve. At firft I gave her three 
dofes for three days together. The firft dofe was 
half a grain, the fecond a grain, and the third a grain 
and half. The two firft made her vomit very gently, 
but the third purged her plentifully. After fome days 
of reft I repeated the fame three dofes. During this 
time the difcharge was much greater than ufual, and 
it changed colour feveral times. At the end of eight 
days the patient had her courfes in larger quantities 
than ordinary. Some days after her courfes were 
over, th zjluor albus appeared again, but was much 
diminifh’d ; and by continuing to give the fame dofes 
of this medicine every week for two months, the 
patient was perfectly cured. 
In obftinate quartan intermittents, which had re- 
filled the moft powerful febrifuges, I have given this 
medicine on the two days of intermiffion, omitting it 
the day of the paroxyfm ; and continuing it thus, 
and increafing the dofe very gradually, theparoxyfms 
grew conftderably weaker ; and generally the fourth 
did not return. The patients, whom I cured in this 
manner near a year ago, have never had the leaft re- 
turn of the fever. 
Excepting in the cafes of fevers, all the patients, 
who ufed the vitrum antirnonii ceratum , drank ha- 
bitually of a ptifan made with rice, oatmeal, or 
hartfhora.
