"In Suffocations of the _Uterus_, the Leaves rendered sufficiently hot, and applied to the Navel, and Region of the _Uterus_, afford present Relief; and if a _Deliquium_ should succeed, which it frequently does, the Patient will be forthwith roused from it by blowing the Smoak of _Tobacco_ up her Nostrils. This Practice is so common among the _Indian_ Women, that for this very Reason they carefully preserve and greatly esteem _Tobacco_ Leaves. Some for uterine Disorders previously apply odorous Substances to the Navel, and then lay _Tobacco_ Leaves over them: But the most proper Substances for this Purpose, are _Tachamahach_, Oil of liquid _Amber_, _Peruvian_ Balsams, _Caranna_, or a Plaister of all these together worn daily on the Navel. "_Arthritic_ Pains, provided the Humours are cold, or at least are not too hot, are greatly relieved by the Application of the warm Leaves, or of a Linen-Cloth soaked in the warm Juice of the Leaves; for these resolve and digest the Humours; for which Reason they are advantageously laid upon œdematous Tumours, previously washed with the warm Juice of the Leaves. "It is certain from Experience, that _Chilblanes_ are cured by rubbing them three or four Times with _Tobacco_ Leaves, and then washing the Hands and Feet in warm Water and Salt. "A few Years ago _Tobacco_ has been found to resist Poison, even that of the most virulent Kind, with which the _Cannibals_ taint their Arrows. It was formerly customary to sprinkle _Sublimate_ into the Wounds thus inflicted; but the _Spaniards_ found a Method of subduing the Force of the Poison by Means of _Tobacco_. "A Company of _Cannibals_ made an At-tack upon a Body of _Indians_ and _Spaniards_, some of whom were killed and others wounded with their poisoned Darts. But as those who survived had no _Sublimate_, they were advised by a certain _Indian_ to pour the expressed Juice of _Tobacco_ into their Wounds, and then apply the triturated Leaves of the same Plant to them, by which Means their Pains were forthwith alleviated, the Symptoms checked, the Force of the Poison subdued, and the Wounds cured. This Accident laid a Foundation for the subsequent Use of _Tobacco_ against Poisons; and the King of _Spain_, in order to be convinced of its Efficacy, ordered a Wound to be made in the Throat of a Dog, and to be anointed with the Poison used by Hunters; soon after which a large Quantity of the Juice of _Tobacco_ was poured into the Wound, and the triturated Leaves of the Plant applied to it, by which Means the Dog was effectually secured against the Symptoms usually produced by Poisons. "_Tobacco_ Leaves laid upon pestilential and malignant Carbuncles induce an _Eschar_, and induce a Cure; nor are they a less present efficacious Remedy against the Bites of poisonous Animals.
