4. Whence it appears, that the methods of relieving inflammatory pains, is
by removing all stimulus, as by venesection, cool air, mucilaginous diet,
aqueous potation, silence, darkness.

great part of the system for the purpose of expending a part of the
sensorial power. This is done either by exertion of the voluntary ideas and
muscles, as in insanity and convulsion; or by exerting both voluntary and
sensitive motions, as in reverie; or by exciting the irritative motions by
wine or opium internally, and by the warm bath or blisters externally; or
lastly, by exciting the sensitive ideas by good news, affecting stories, or
agreeable passions.
