_Dr. Baker._ That in general two or three doses of some purging medicine ought to be given, almost all inoculators have agreed. _Couns. for the Pris._ Now, Dr. Baker, give me leave to ask you, as a physician, whether it be your opinion that the marvellous success, of which the Prisoner stands accused, be owing to the peculiar virtue of any medicine or medicines, known only to himself and his accomplices? _Dr. Baker._ I am of opinion it is not. _Couns. for the Pris._ To what cause then do you ascribe that success? _Dr. Baker._ Principally to the free use of cold air. _Couns for the Pris._ Is he the only inoculator who allows his patients the free use of cold air? _Dr. Baker._ Not now: the practice is at present very general in many parts of this kingdom. _Couns. for the Pris._ Was he the inventor of this cold regimen? _Dr. Baker._ I cannot accuse him of being the inventor, because it is strenuously recommended, in the natural small pox, by writers of the first rank, particularly Sydenham, whose works are in the hands of every physician. _Couns. for the Pris._ We shall now call a physician sufficiently known in the medical world, particularly by his _Analysis of Inoculation_. Dr. KIRKPATRICK sworn. _Couns. for the Pris._ I think, Sir, you have had much experience in the practice of inoculation? _Dr. Kirkpatrick._ I have. _Couns. for the Pris._ Have you been long accustomed to give calomel in preparing your patients? _Dr. Kirkpatrick._ It hath long been my practice, as appears from my book. _Couns. for the Pris._ Has it been your practice to confine your patients to any particular regimen? _Dr. Kirkpatrick._ It appears from my _Analysis_, that I regulate my practice, in this respect, according to age and constitution; but in general I advise that they should abstain from flesh meat, spirituous liquors, and, in short, every thing inflammatory, or difficult of digestion. _Couns. for the Pris._ I beg, gentlemen of the jury, you will take notice that the Doctor prescribes a vegetable diet; so that this is no new thing. Pray, Doctor, when was your _Analysis_ printed? _Dr. Kirkpatrick._ The first edition, in the last King’s reign, and the second in the year 1761. Dr. BENJAMIN GALE sworn. _Couns. for the Pris._ You are a physician, I think? _Dr. Gale._ I am. _Couns. for the Pris._ Where do you live? _Dr. Gale._ At Connecticut in New England. _Couns. for the Pris._ Have you practised inoculation? _Dr. Gale._ I have inoculated many hundreds. _Couns. for the Pris._ Do you prepare your patients with calomel? _Dr. Gale._ I do. _Couns. for the Pris._ With what success? _Dr. Gale._ With very great success. In eight hundred patients, I have lost but one. Mr. GATTI sworn. _Couns. for the Pris._ If I am properly instructed, you, Sir, have practised inoculation in France? _Mr. Gatti._ Some time ago I was much employed in that business at Paris. _Couns. for the Pris._ In what manner did you prepare your patients?
