On the third, the Symptoms not abating, he lost about ten Ounces of Blood. He had taken a cooling nitrous Powder every four Hours; this was now changed for one more cordial. At Night he grew delirious, his Fever increased, and he had some loose Stools, which were rather encouraged than restrain'd, as it was hoped they might relieve him. Blisters were applied to his Head and Arms. On the fourth in the Morning I was sent for: I found him delirious, with convulsive Twitchings; his Hands in constant Motion, gathering the Bed-cloaths; his Pulse quick and weak; his Tongue parched. With some Difficulty I looked into the _Fauces_; they seemed to be pale in some Places, intensely red or livid in others, with a glossy Brightness: His Excrements came away involuntarily; his Eyes were languid, and somewhat opake; he breath'd with Difficulty, and died in a few Hours after. In some of the first Cases I met with, the Quickness of the Pulse, the Degree of Heat, the apparent inflammatory Redness of the Eyes and Face, and Pain in the Head, some times urged me to order Bleeding, especially if there were any Marks of a _Plethora_; but in these Cases it did not appear to have any advantageous Effects: So that, notwithstanding the Urgency of the Symptoms above-mention'd, it seems proper in general to omit this Evacuation. Cupping with Scarification has been applied to the Shoulders and Back of the Head, in order to remove an acute Pain of this Part, which is often complain'd of, but, as far as I have been able to observe, without much Benefit. It is necessary that the Patient should keep in Bed as much as may be, tho' the Disease should seem to be slight: It has happen'd, for want of Care in this Respect, that a Purging has come on, the Redness of the Skin disappeared, and a Disorder, which with Confinement alone would probably have gone off in twice 24 Hours, has been render'd tedious and difficult. If we are called in at the first, while the Sickness or Vomiting continues, it will be of Use to promote this Discharge, by giving an Infusion of Green Tea, Chamomile-Flowers, Carduus, or a few Grains of _Ipecacuanha_. In some Instances, where the Attack has been severe, and this Method practised, the Disorder has gone off with more Ease than was at first apprehended. If these Symptoms don't abate with the Operation of the Emetic, small Draughts of Mint-Tea, with a sixth Part of red Port added to it, may be given frequently; together with some grateful and warm aromatic, cordial Medicine, every four or six Hours. The _Pulvis Contrayervæ simp._—_comp. Confect. cardiac._—_Raleigh. Spec. arom. Vinum croceum_; _Aq. Menth. spirit. Aq. Alex. spirit. cum Aceto_; with others of the like Nature, may be used for this Purpose.
