A Vomit fhouid be given, and repeated now and then as the Patient can bear it ; but if Vomits feem too fatiguing, a Dofe of Tinftura Sacra may be given in their room. Paralytic Patients fhouid ufe as much Bodily Exercife as poffible, and the Head, Neck, and the whole Spine, as well as the Parts affected, fhouid be frequently rubbed with a hot and dry Cloth till they appear red. i. * ♦ 4 GOUT. This Medicine is of fingular Service in the Gout, not only while it continues in the Limbs, but particularly Svhen it flies inwards, and attacks the Head, Stomach, or any of the internal Parts *, in which Cafes a few Dofes will jnot fail to give prefent Relief. It fhouid be taken in the Quantity of a Tea Spoonful, two or three Times every Day, or oftener, if the Cafe be violent, during the Gou~ :y Fit. It carries off the Gouty Matter by Urine, which t renders very thick and turbid. At any Time when 'here is a Necefilty to abate the excefUvc Pain in the 3art affe&ed, the AETHER may be applied to it :xternally, according to the Method given p. 12. It vill be proper to continue taking the AETHER once >r twice a Day for fome Time after the Fit is gone, .nd to begin taking it again about the Time of it’s xpedled Return ; by which Means, tho* it may not )revent the Return of the Fit, which in many Cafes ierhaps ought not to be defired, yet it will fhorten it’s Continuance, and moderate the Pain of it.
