But if in any Cases more fetid Substances are preferable, Compositions may be easily made of such from _Rue_, _Featherfew_, _Galbanum_, _Assa-fætida_, and the like; for these, with some Persons agree better than more grateful Scents. FREQUENTLY to dissolve in the Mouth the following _Lozenges_, or something like them, I also imagine may be of Service; especially to those who are conversant in infected Places. ℞ _Boli veri opt. +℥ j.+ Terræ Japon. +ʒ ij.+ Coral. rub.

PRESERVATORY Evacuations of all kinds are much disputed in these Cases, and not worth our particular Regard in this Place; for thus much is plain to all who are competent Judges in such Matters, that but very few Circumstances can justifie them; because every Evacuation, unless that of Perspiration, gives more Liberty for any Thing noxious without, to insinuate into the Pores, as there is made thereby less Resistance to its Admission; not to say any Thing of the Danger in such a Practice, by lessening at the same Time the Quantities of Spirits and Strength, which cannot but be mischievous: And particularly ought all Persons at such Times to avoid too lax a Temper of Body; for which Purpose, these preservatory Means just hinted at, mostly tend to astringe the Bowels, and increase Perspiration. _FINIS._ A Table of the Funerals IN THE Several Parishes within the Bills of Mortality of the City of _LONDON_, For the Year 1665. _No. of Funerals_|_Plag._
