Rhubarb and Calomel after the Fever was over.

chap. iv. Note to p. 213. third Edition.

It is no Wonder that Worms of the round Kind should be productive of
troublesome Symptoms, and occasion these Relapses; since we know that
they have sometimes perforated the Intestines, and been found in the
Cavity of the Abdomen[16].

[16] See _Hoffman_'s Works, vol. III. chap. x. _River.
Observ. commun._ Obs. 13. _of Observations found in a
Library._ _Bonetus's Sepulchret. anatom._ tom. II. _Gualther
van Doeveren's Inaugural Dissertation de Vermibus
intestinalibus_, published at _Leyden_, 1753; and _Lancisi_'s
Works; for Cases where the internal Coats of the Stomach, and
Intestines, have been eroded, and all the Coats perforated by
Worms of the round Kind.

As soon as we observed a Patient to be troubled with Worms, if his
present Situation did not prevent it, we gave twenty-five or thirty
Grains of Rhubarb, with five or six Grains of Calomel; and if there
was much Sickness, we likewise gave an Emetic; which, in more than one
Case, brought up two or three Worms of the round Kind, and gave great
Relief. But where the Fever was violent, we were obliged to neglect
this Symptom of Worms for the present; and when the Fever was over, if
there still remained any Symptoms of Worms, we gave the purgative
Medicine once or oftener, and in the Intervals gave the _pulvis
stanni_, or an Infusion of Camomile Flowers; and in some Cases, oily
Medicines. By these Means most of the Patients got well and recovered
their Health, and seemed to be freed, at least for the present, from
these troublesome Insects; though a few continued to complain of
Sickness, and other Symptoms of Worms, for some Time afterwards.

What was the Cause of the Army's being so much troubled with Worms of
the round Kind, is not easy to ascertain; unless it was owing to the
great Quantity of crude Vegetables, and Fruits, which the Soldiers eat
in the Course of the Summer and Autumn, and to the bad Water they were
often obliged to drink.

In the Malignant Fever at _Paderborn_, many complained of a Dysuria,
and some of a Suppression of Urine, especially towards the Decline of
the Fever; and others, of a Scalding and Pain in making Water, though
they had no venereal Complaint. These Symptoms appeared in other
Places, but not near s
