[photo missing]
These purges is the best of any I no of in
all Decays to purge 2 Times a weak while
the pectrols are in use and to use the
Drinks ordered with the pectrols are
a using and if no pectrols are
wanting then restoritives will Come
most in use and the purges at the
Same Time Except in too Relaxt
eners
State of the body and then Strength
are very much to be used which must
be inspected in acording to the State
of the patient which in a two
Relaxt State a Stringnts may be used
ed
no8: Shuch as the Stumac Aramats mention
1: with Electr of Lincts mentioned
or
2: which in Such Cases will be best
and while you are using these meds
Care must be Taken to keep the
body in as Rigoler State as posabel
I have Given Rhei as a purge and
if the vesels was very much Cloged
or pend up Calomel at night and —
Rhubarb in the morning in the morn-
and if not wanting to astring So much
oned
the Calomel at night and the first menti
pills in the morning which answers
to purge of and Evacuate the humors
and make them Give way more Eisear
to the Expectrants then they would
Do other wise I have often purgd or
Relaxt with Elix p.p.t which is a good Stum
but in all Relaxt States Give the
Elix vitrol which is a good Stomat
and as you See the State of the patient
meds must be aplyed the bals of huneys
are grait pectrols which are very much
in use if the Lungs be ulcerated and
many more Such as the Tinct Sulphr
mad mention of by Lemere and the
bals Sulph anisum the bals Sulph
Terpentine altho the Last mentioned
is naseious to Take but of good Service
Elix ppt. with Salermo or with
Sal. C:C which vols Seams much to
restore and Strengthen the Tone of ye
Stumac the Confect alchermes is
a very good restoritive and much Strength
the Stumac. but if the fevour Should
prove to be hard the pouder mentioned
no1 under the Decoct: to be Taken 2 or 3 Times
a Day and at the Same Time to use the
aramat the Quin Qui will Take Great
impresion on this feviour if their be
inter vails that you Can make use of them
the anty hectic poteara Is a good febre
fuge in these Cases these are the Cheafest I
made use of in Such Cases
an observation you are to make is
if your patient Swels much roud the
ankel and feet its a Dangers Simptom
or the rists all These are Simptoms
that are very Dangeres but often times
a Drapsie folows a Consumption—
and makes the Cure Intirely Dificul
and have on the other Sid spoken or given
a small Scatch of it and Sum times a Jandis
will folow which I shall Give a Small Tuch
of becuse the authers in General Speek large
of and give a full acount in a plainer maner
then I Can So I rest
.
for The Drapsie
As This and the foregoing Disorder has
at it was an atendence to Each other
or in Sum measur a Conection together
Thought it not improper to put Em
Down next to one a nother as they often will
be in Conection with Each other Shall
Treat them first apart and Then together
as the Consumption oft Times by impovising
the blood and by that means Those Sharp
humers pases through the whole mess of blod
and Leaves the nerves Relaxt, I refer you
to the authers
In a Reail Drapsie Should
Take this rule. which in Such Cases
I allways observed ———-
Rx Calomel to be Given at night
and Jalop the next morning to work
it of this rule to be observed Every
3 day and at the Same Time to make
Rx add use of this Dia Drink horse redish
Pricere
ash root lbss Alecampain lbss fenil roots
lbi
and persely roots of Each lbi make
a Strong Decoction for a Constant Drink
Except ye Day that the physick is Given
an then fresh brought to make it work
and at the other 2 Day Give as folows –viz
Rx Take Sal absinth Gr3 Sal Tarter Gr4
To mix to gether and give a Dose of
This pouder in the aboue Decoct: Taken
warm and Take it 3 Times a Day with
The aboue Sd Decoct: and Every morn
ing Tak a half Spoonfull of rust of
Rx Iron The 2 morning you Dont take ye:phys
and if the Swelling Should abate the
Rx Elix: p.p.t to be Given 60 Draps at a Time
Every after noon in ye aboue Decoct.
and after the Sweling is a a good Deal
abated brasers would be good Such as
Tinct Q Q which will Graitly Strenghth
and brace the nerves or Take the no 8
Stomac biters which will be beter and
use Them Till you Think the flewds are
braced if their Should be a Cough and
a Stopage on the Lungs Then the Expectr
would be of Service Look at the balsms
of huney are in this Case preferabel to ye
others and many Times must be Treated
as a Consumption and use the Duritick
with it as th Consumption many Times
folowes a Drapsie and makes the Cure
Intirely Dificul if not Incurubel —–
For a Durat in the Drapsie as folows
To be used between wiles is Juniper
bows with the berryes burnt to ashes and
the ashes of wormwood of Each after its
ed
pouderd 3 Spoonfulls put in the first mention
Decoct. in a bout 1/2 Gal: and Take a Jill
at a Time 3 Times a Day and Continue
The purging as be fore I have Given
Gut Gamb with good Success and
The Croc mart apparent and
the aboue Duraticks as at first
mentioned but the meds must be used
according to the Sitiuation the pation
is in
If the Consumption be not Set
in with the Drapsie the Cure is more
Easey and and (sic) will be preformd
according to the first Directions
but if to the Conterary then you
must treat him with Expectrants and at
the Same Time use Drasticks and the
Elix ppt. with th Duratis before if you
must Come to tapping Should refer you
To Sharp Turner or Shaw. ———-
but I have usd blis ters to the Legs at ye
Same Time the Drasticks and Duriticks
ware Given but have acare of a mortificati
on
which often happens in such Cases which if not
Timely Taken Care of may prove Dangeris I Drest
Them Thus with a poltice of the insid bark of wite
pine bark and Spignet root boyld in new Milk
and Layd on and fomented it with wormwood
Catnip and Tansey as hot as Can be in Dured

Demeni but this Dus not happen not aboue
one Time in Twenty that a mortifycation
happen and when it Dose I Treated them in
This maner as a boue Derected ——
but blisters Layd on the Legs at the Time that
the Duratick and Drasticks is usd Dus Draw of
a vast Sight of water how Ever they Sum times
prove Dangers as a boue said and then they
must be Drest as aboue Derected
but I a consumption Sets in with it its
for the most part Dangeris and but Litil
To be Don for it Except anodines and Such
Like to Eas them and Expectrants often
Eases them mixt with anodines and
Contin their their (sic) use with Durats
may be used but not with any Grait
Success as to the Cure and to Say any
more on this Subjact I Shant but under
the nex head of the Jandes as it hapend
Sum times to Joyn in with a Drapsie
and Lik wise with a Consumption.

of The Jandeys
As This Disorder oft happens of an
overflowing of the Gall Should Think
proper to give first an Emetick and
af that is workt Give the folowing
Decoct Take barbery bark wild Chery
bark and Dog wood bark ana: 1 hanfull
blood root 1/2 hanfull make a Strong Decoct:
Take of this 3 Times a Day a Jill at at (sic)
Time with 30 Draps of Elixter ppt.
ac
and if the Load Should remain on the Stum
Then moderate Cartherts would be of Servic
and after the Carthert which pil Coche
I think is best Give the folowing pouder
Take Ivere Casteel Soap Gum merrh and
aa:
aloes make a pul: Dose ss this may Either
be given in pouder or made in an Electury
with the Tinct of Safron and ol Juniper
These rules In the Jandice Scarce fails but
Sum Times it happens with a Consumption
and in Such Cases the pouder must be
used and the pill mentioned for the Consump:
no_ Class 10 or the pouder mad up in boleses
and then use the Ex pectrants
with it as mentioned in the Consumption
. . Sum Times it happens with a Drapsie
and in Such Cases their must be used
the rules observed in the Drapsie and at
the Same Time Chelebeats whih will
Carry of the Jandes Such as the Steeld

to be made use of as was Derected in the
Drapsie I Sall Stop and Leave you.
.
of a Plurisey and Cure
. In this Case if you Can by Times be with
your patient bleedin will be by all means
nesery and after that to give a Sodrific
of Unicorn root and Ginger mad in a Strong
Decoct: and to Every 2 Spoonfulls Take about
a Gr and half of opii for a Dose this will
Give a butyfull moderat Sweat and at
the Same Time proveas a good anodin
after the Swet be over and the pain Should
be very Smart bleed a gain and when the
Cough Comes on then Expectrants to be
Given freely and Such Drinks as

Servicebel and Then to Sweat as at first
but put a cag of boyling Water in it to his
Sid when you Sweat him it will be
much the beter and the pain will Cease
much Quicker and as Soon as he Should
Git Stuft and the Cough to Rise or Raisin
of blood the Expectrants and Gentel Soderific
and Sum Time Coolers answers best in
Case so Then Niter and Tarter are
best or the magnesea alba
. Sum Times by being neglected to Long

will have Impost and then when you
Should find is So Give Expectrants frely
and Keep them on a week Diat and if you
perceive it to Swell The outside apoltice of

if the feviour Should prove any Thing of ye
molignant Kind on ye Legs and arms
. and by having the Impost or Such Like
Tumors Very often Will bring on a
Consumption and then must be treated

Decoct mention undr the Clas of the Draps
and the purges Likewise to be made use of
and Delt with Lik a rail Drapsie as
farther Expearence will Teach by Constant
use of the practice
.
of a Belies Collict & Cure
. The Cheafest to be observed it This Disorder
is to Keep the body relaxt the best remedy
I Know of is morrisons pill 3 to be given
once in 5 or 6 ours and make a Strong
Decoct of Seaney Camamoil flors and
and (sic) annis Seed or fenil Seed and the
patient to Drink plenytyfull of this
in Steed of fresh brought and make it
Strong with Seanne I Expect this not to
fail but I often Give Calomel Gr15 and
the pills after it and then Decoct
. I these fails that that (sic) the patient Cant
Keep them Down his Stumac which is often
The Case then I Should recomend this
Glister Take the Insid bark of buter
nutt and the Inside bark of Elder and
boyl it to a very Strong Decoction
and when boyld pour it of from ye
barks and put in a iss of Colocynth
and i of aloes in a poynt ad when
boyld and the aloe Disolved Strain
and ad a half poynt new milk 4 Spoon
fulls molases and 2 Spoonfulls hogs Lard
and Devide for 2 Times when one is Come ye other
. These rules to be observd I make no Doubt
it will meet with Grait Success but in
Case their is a Continual vomiting the Glis
ters must be made Continualy made
use of Till Such Times you Can
Give the physick and Then by all means
to Let it be given and the rules to be
observed as was first Derected and
