After Infection he tells us the Signs are an extraordinary inward Heat, a Difficulty of Breathing, a Pain and Heaviness in the Head, an Inclination to Sleep, frequent Vomiting, immoderate Thirst, a Dryness on the Tongue and Palate; but especially if we discover Risings or Swellings behind the Ears, in the Groin, or other tender Parts of the Body; but this last, where it happens, is of Advantage to the Patient; for he says, in such a Case, the Plague is rarely Mortal, for then Nature has Power to dispel the Venom, and drive it from the most noble Parts; and then he recommends Bleeding; but if Spots appear upon the Body, he advises the Use of _Emeticks_, and afterwards _Sudorificks_, which, by his Papers, we find he gave with good Success, but he decries the Use of Opiates at the Beginning of the Distemper. He concludes with Directing of proper Cordials, to refresh and strengthen the Patient, such as _Confect. Hyacint._, _Confect. Alchermes_, _Pulv. Gasconiæ_, _Bezoar Orient._ and such like. But my Worthy Friend, Sir _John Colebatch_, who has in other Cases declared himself for Publick Good, has, in this, likewise been Careful to provide against the Infection, and especially recommends to his Friends, to collect large Parcels of the Ripe _Ivy Berries_ which are known from the others by their Blackness. Thus have I given my Reader such a View of the _Plague_ in general, as may point out to him its natural Cause, Progress of Infection, and the Methods that have been used by the Learned, to prevent the spreading that Terrible Distemper. _FINIS_ Transcriber's Notes: Passages in italics are indicated by _underscore_.
