conducive to the eafe or the relief of f{cro- 
phula, as well as all difeafes which have 
their fource in phyfical debility. 
One of the moft decided and obftinate 
cafes of {crophulous affeétions was al- 
luded to in one of the preceding reports, in 
which the patient fuffered alternately from 
a fore in her breaft, and a violent pain in 
her head: her complaint had been of long 
ftanding, and had not in the flighteft de-~ 
gree yielded to the remedies which had 
been adminiftered to her before her applica- 
tion to the Finfbury difpenfary. She 
feemed for-a time to be relieved by the 
cortex Peruvianus, taken regularly in fre- 
quent and confiderable dofes. 
After a trial of fome weeks the cure con- 
tinued to be imperfeét. It wasthen thought 
right to recommend, as the only chance 
that remained of a perfeét reftoration to 
her former health and vigour, to fettle, 
during a confiderable period of the fummer, 
on the fea-coaft. In confequence of a 
faithful obedience to this advice, her con- 
ftitution feems fince to be in a great mea- 
fure regenerated, and the affe&tions, which 
before were fo troublefome to her, entirely 
removed.

ought to be qualified by the exception of 
its ufe in thofe inftances where there is 
any morbid affeétion of the lungs. / 
In thefe cafes, the fea generally aggra- 
vates the fufferings of the patient, and ac- 
celerates the termination of his life. 
How large a number of tne deaths we 
fee inferted in the public papers is that of 
thofe which have occurred at fea-bathing 
places, where it is generally obferved, that 
the deceafed had gone for the benefit of 
his health? 
The more than ordinary expedition with 
which death executes his deftined tafk, in 
thefe fathionable reforts of gaiety and fick- 
nefs, is ftrikingly exhibited to our view in 
their crowded records of mortality. 
The authentic and melancholy enume- 
ration of the victims to an untimely fate, 
one fhould imagine, could fcarcely fail to 
awaken a gloomy prefentiment in the mind, 
that in fome meafure might tend to couns 
teract the difpofition to hope, fo eafily im- 
bibed, and fo anxioufly cherifhed, by the 
multitude of confumptive invalids, who, 
on the approach of each returning fummer, 
haften with eagernefs to the coalt, fondly 
expecting to find, amidft the waves and the 
breezes of theocean, that relief, which elle- 
where had been fought for by them in vain.
