e Patient continued hot and feverish through the
Day, with a Head-Ach, and other feverish Symptoms, nothing answered
better, after free Evacuations had been made, than to apply a large
Blister to the Back; and to make the Patient drink freely of cooling
diluting Liquors; which generally relieved the Head, and abated the
Violence of the other Symptoms.

When a Purging came on in the Course of this Disorder, if there was
much Fever, with a strong throbbing Pulse, Gripes and Pain of the
Bowels, some Blood was taken away; and immediately after the Patient
took a Dose of Salts and Manna, or of Rhubarb; and an Opiate in the
Evening after its Operation: But if there was little or no Fever, or
sharp Pain, Bleeding was omitted; and if the Patient complained of
Sickness, a few Grains of Ipecacuana were given previous to the Purge.

After this, if the Purging was moderate, and did not sink the Patient,
we did nothing to stop it; but if it was violent, we gave the
mindereri Draughts with Mithridate, and the Chalk Julep in the Day,
and an Opiate at going to Rest; and occasionally used the emollient
and anodyne Clyster; and, if necessary, repeated the Emetic and Purge.

The Hiccup seldom appeared in this Fever till the Patient was reduced
very low, and was commonly the Forerunner of Death. Some few, who had
a Purging and Vomiting, were taken with a Hiccup, attended with
Sickness, and Load at the Stomach, which seemed to depend on bilious
Humours lodged in the Stomach and Bowels. This induced me to give a
few Grains of the Ipecacuana; and to make the Patients drink an
Infusion of Camomile Flowers till they vomited freely, and afterwards
to take some mild Purge, or use laxative Clysters; after which they
found themselves easier, and an anodyne Draught, with twenty or
twenty-five Drops of the _tinctura thebaica_, put an End to the
Hiccup. Others required the Use of Cordial Draughts, mixed with
Opiates; and repeated Clysters and Fomentations, before they found
Relief.--The Application of a Blister removed the Hiccup in one,
after the above Remedies had proved ineffectual; as did the Musk Julep
with Opium, and the Application of an aromatic Plaister to the
Stomach, in another Patient.

Several of them complained of a burning Heat and Pain in making Water;
which commonly went off by drinking freely of the Gum Arabic
Decoction, with the dulcified Spirit of Nitre, and the Use of oily
Draughts; though in some it required the Assistance of
