Thefe coughs become particularly trou- 
blefome early in the morning, whem the 
tone of the fiomach has not, as yet, been 
duly excit?d by the natural and artificial 
ftimuli of the day. The violence of the 
attack often produces retching and vomit- 
ing. In fuch cafes, emetics give relief; 
which are, on this aecount, by thefe 
{pendthrifts of conititution frequently had 
recourfe to, and contitute almoft a part 
of their habitual regimen. 
A vomit relieves the patient, fora time, 
{from the filth and burden of a debauch; 
and, by the violence of its action, it fora 
nioment re-excites the relaxed and enfee- 
bled energy of his frame. But this me- 
dicinal mode of purification is fcarcely 
le's injurious than that intemperance it- 
felf, the effets of which it is intended to 
remove. 
Hooping-cough has recently prevailed 
among children. 
curred in the fymptomis, or in the treat- 
Nothing new has oc. 
ment of the difeafe, excepting in the ule 
of the warm bath, which the Reporter is 
decidedly of opinion, from much expe- 
rience, may, in the earlier ftages of the 
diforder, be invariably employed with « 
fafety and advantage. 
More relief has appeared te arife from 
this than from any other remedy, except- 
ing the adminiftration of gentle emetics 
and leeches to the breaft. 
There is no. morbid affection of the 
fyftem that requires more minute and vi- 
gilant attention on the part of the medi- 
cal practitioner, as it often abruptly ter- 
minates in death, without exhibiting any 
preliminary fymptom of danger or alarm. 
Digitalis, in very fmall cafes, might, 
perhaps, be not improperly adminiftered, 
in order to moderate the exceflive excitabi- 
lity of the young fubjeéts of this difeafe.

HE Society for maintaining and educating 
Poor Orphans of Clergymen, have re- 
Moved their fchool for the boys from York- 
fire to Aéton, in Middlefex, in order that 
it may be under the particular eye and con- 
troul of the Committee, and condu&ed in. 
the fame manner as their f{chool for the girls 
at Liffon Green. A farther advantage will 
refult to this charity from the alteration; 
namely, the making this humane and impor- 
tant inititution more known to the generous 
feelings of the public, by bringing to their 
immediate obfervation the means by which 
the diftreffes, which the families of many of 
the clergy labour under, are in fome degree 
relieved. The number of children now edu- 
cated in thefe fchools, between the ages of 
feven and fourteen, is fifty-two girls, and 
thirty-fix boys; whe are maintained and 
clothed,sfuitably to their ftation, and. in- 
ftructed in the principles of Chriftianity, and 
-in the neceflery acquirements for the’ more 
‘veneral fituations and emmployments in life, 
wholly by the voluntary fubfcriptions, dona- 
tions, and legacies, of the pious and benevo- 
jent; which aids and affiftance have gradu- 
ally accumulated from the firft inftitution of 
the Charity in the year 1749, and which, it 
is hoped, will continue by the fame means 
to increafe, that fuch meceffary relief to the 
orphans of clergymen may be ftill further 
extended. 
At a Court of Common-council of the 
city of London lately held at Guildhall, a 
Report was prefented from the Committee of 
City Lands, ftating the caufes of the delay 
in carrying into execution the order of the 
Court for improving and enlarging Smithfield 
Market, and that they were profecuting the 
bufinefs with all the difpatch which fuch an 
important meafure requires. Mr. Waithman 
moved the following refolution, which was 
agreed to.—That the Committee for letting 
the City Lands, e direéted to enquire and re- 
port, without delay, what ground, whether 
vacant or otherwife, may appear moft eligible ' 
for the improvement of Smithfield Market 
cn an enlarged plan, and fuch as may anfwer 
the expectations of the public, and do credit 
to the Corporation.
