f the Tartar emetic, given in small Doses, was
serviceable in many of these Fevers, after free Evacuations had been
made.

Two Patients, one a Soldier of the Twentieth Regiment, the other a
_German_ Waggoner, were taken ill of this Fever about the 25th of
_December_, 1762: They were both blooded freely, and had a Dose of
Physic in the Beginning; and the saline Draughts with Nitre and other
cooling Remedies; and had Blisters applied without producing any
considerable Change in their Disorder.--On the 5th of _January_, 1763,
they both complained much of Thirst, and were inclined to be costive;
their Tongues were parched, their Pulses quick and small, and their
Skins dry; they were restless at Nights, and the Soldier had a slight
Delirium.--I ordered each of them four Grains of the _pulvis
antimonialis_ every four Hours.

6th. Next Day the Soldier told me, he had had four loose Stools; his
Senses were much clearer, the Pulse calmer and slower, and he said he
found himself lighter and easier, and less feverish, than he had been
since he was first taken ill. The Medicine was continued, with the
Addition of an anodyne Draught at Night.--7th. I found him in a fine
breathing Sweat, and he told me he had slept well in the Night:
p.--8th. The Sweat continued till this Morning, and on going off his
Urine let fall a copious white Sediment, and left him free from the
Fever; after which he mended daily.

The Waggoner, after taking the third Dose of the Powders, had a warm
Moisture upon the Skin.--On the 6th was cooler and without much Fever,
and had had one Stool.--7th. The warm Moisture ended in a profuse
Sweat, which carried off the Fever, and he continued to recover
daily.

OF THE ANGINA; OR, SORE THROAT.

Many of the Soldiers during the Campaign were seized with
Inflammations of the Throat, especially when the Nights were cold and
moist after warm Days; and when they did Duty in cold wet Nights in
the Winter Season.--All of them I saw in _Germany_ were of the
inflammatory Kind; I did not observe any that were malignant.

They were treated in the antiphlogistic Method.--The Patients were
blooded liberally in the Beginning--took the cooling nitrous and
saline Medicines--gentle Diaphoretics and Purgatives--and used
frequent Gargarisms.

Sometimes a Flannel rubbed with camphorated Oil, or the _linimentum
volatile_, and applied round the Neck, was of Service.--And frequently
after bleeding sufficiently, where the Bre
