BUT, SECONDLY, when the _LOCHIA_ are _suppressed_, whether in whole, or in part, ’tis then certain that the present _FEVER_ proceeds from thence; the _BELLY_ thereby swells and is puffed up, as also it is _pained_ when _touched_; and the _Humours_, at last, putrefying in the _WOMB_, it ejects a certain _fœtid or corrupt Matter_. WHEREAS, THIRDLY, if the _FEVER_ neither proceeds from the _MILK_, nor from any Irregularity of the _LOCHIA_, why then it must necessarily either proceed from the _vitious Quality_ and Preparation of the _Humours_; or from a _Cacochymical Habit_ of Body; or from an _irregular Way of Living_ in time of _GESTATION_. THE most certain _PROGNOSTICKS_ are as follow, _viz._ FIRST, All _Acute Diseases_ in _Child-bed Women_, whose _Strength_ is impaired by their _LABOUR_, are much more dangerous than in any _Others_. SECONDLY, These which proceed from the _Suppression_ of the _LOCHIA_ are most dangerous; because the _Humours_ putrefying in the _WOMB_, occasion most severe _SYMPTOMS_, yea and too commonly _DEATH_ itself, unless a lucky _Diarrhæa_, or a timely _Ejection_ of the corrupted Matter, prevents the _Misfortune_. THIRDLY, The self-same is the unfortunate _Consequence_, when the _Distemper_ proceeds from the vitious _HUMOURS_; for _Nature_ then not being able to expurgate their abounding Superfluity by the _LOCHIA_, the _PATIENT_ must needs be greatly endanger’d, if not overwhelm’d. THE most adviseable _Cure_, FIRST, as to the _MILK-FEVER_, is only to be committed to _Nature_, the _Woman_ using always a proper _DIET_, and carefully animadverting, that the _SWEAT_, in which it commonly terminates, be no ways checked, impeded, or obstructed. SECONDLY, As to the _Watchings_, _Deliria’s_, _Epilepsies_, &c. which the _PATIENT_ is subject to in this Condition; as they proceed only from _Vapours_ of the _BLOOD_ and _Humours_, ascending to the _Head_, when the _LOCHIA_ do not flow regularly, or when the _Woman_ is _Feverish_: So the _Cure_ of these distemper’d _Cases_ depends (at first) chiefly upon retracting the _HUMOURS_ from the _Head_ to the inferiour Parts, and correcting the _Course_ of the _LOCHIA_: Because, if these flow orderly, and the vitious _Humours_, from which such depraved _Vapours_ as affect the _Head_, be removed and evacuated, all such _SYMPTOMS_ quickly cease and vanish of their own Accord. THIRDLY, in the other above-mentioned _Cases_, the _PATIENT_ ought always to be treated according to the various Circumstances of her _Condition_; I mean, according to the attending _SYMPTOMS_, conformable also to which the ingenious _Physician_ will always judiciously take his prudent Measures: Since the _Cure_ does not always depend upon the _same Method_; especially when a _symptomatick_, or concomitant _FEVER_, joins the _first_, as it very often happens, by an _Inflammation_ of some _particular Part_, proceeding from something of the vitious _HUMOURS_ enforcing itself upon the same very _Part_.
