Chronic cutaaeous difeafes - - 15 
In the above catalocue of difeafes the 
cafes of amerorrhcea bear more than their 
ufual proportion. Of thefe, fome evident- 
ly arofe trom a mental affe€tion; others ° 
from exceflive corporeal fatigue; but the 
greater number from the partial applica- 
tion of cold; efpecially to the feet. In fe- © 
veral inftances, riding on the box of a 
hackney-coach was prefcribed, and in the 
only one in which the advice was faith- 
fully obferved, it was attended with-evi- 
dent and fpeedy advantage. The motion 
of fuch:a vehicle over the rough pavement 
of London affords no inconfiderable exer- 
cife, without demanding any degreezof 
that voluntary exertion, of which, in many 
cafes of this difeafe, the patient feems to 
be altgzether incapable. 
Thofe pains in the lower part of the 
back, with which female patients between 
forty and fifty years of age, are fo fre= 
quently afflicted, have, nearly without ex- 
ception, been relieved by the emplaftrum 
thuris compofitum. Whether this operates 
altogether immediately on the body, or i 
part, through the imagination, it may 
- not be eafy to afcertain; but a vaft num- 
ber of experiments authorize us in‘confi- 
dering it, as, in fome way or other, al- 
moft a /pecific in the difeafe : ; 
A cafe of hooping-cough o¢curred in 
a man of feventy-one years of age. He 
had never any cough before. He faid 
that his child had been afflicted with the
