In this Disease it is at all times necessary to attend very carefully to the Diarrhœa. For the most part it ceases with the Vomiting, in less than twelve Hours from the first Attack: If it continues longer than this Period, it is necessary to check it, otherwise it occasions great Faintness, sinks the Strength, and in the End produces very dangerous Consequences. The aromatic Cordials above-mention'd, if they are given plentifully, commonly take off this Symptom, as well as the Vomiting; but if they prove ineffectual, Recourse must be had to Astringents and Anodynes, in proportion to the Exigence of the Case; such as the _Confectio Fracastorii_, or _Elect. e Scordio cum Opio_, dissolved in small Cinnamon-water, and given _post singulas sedes_. It is common for the Redness, so often mention'd, to appear upon the Skin, as these Discharges abate: It has happen'd that this Colour has gone off sometimes, and the Patient has been brought into imminent Danger, upon giving a mild Cathartic: Which Circumstances, as they point out a close Connexion between them, indicate the Use of a warm Regimen, notwithstanding the Heat and other Symptoms might seem to forbid it. A Girl about 9 Years old, of a slender Make, but healthy and active, was seized with this Disorder. The Sickness and Vomiting went off, and the Redness of the Skin appeared soon after: The Apothecary who attended her, judging it an inflammatory Case, as she complained of her Throat, bled her, gave her a cooling Purge the next Day, and afterwards some nitrous Draughts. A plentiful Efflorescence which cover'd the Face, Neck, and Arms, suddenly disappeared; a Diarrhœa came on, she grew restless, faint, and insensible. In this Condition I first saw her on the third Day of the Disease; she frequently sigh'd, her Pulse was quick, small and hard, without any remarkable Colour upon her Skin; and the Swelling on each Side the Neck large: It was not possible to examine the _Fauces_, as she lay in a comatous helpless Condition, her Stools and Urine coming away insensibly. A warm cordial Mixture was frequently given her, upon which the Diarrhœa soon abated; and the next Day the Efflorescence again appeared upon her Face and Arms. From this time she continued to recover, tho' slowly, and was for some time attended with a Cough and hectic Heats. Another Symptom which requires our Attention in the Cure of this Disease, is an excessive Faintness: Of this they generally complain soon after they are taken ill, and continue to do so, if sensible, till the Distemper begins to abate: The Urgency of this Symptom seems to indicate the Degree of Danger: It is more or less violent, as the Disease is mild or malignant; and an Abatement of it may be look'd upon as a sure Presage of Recovery.
