_Couns. for the Cr._ Did you hear Dr. Baker’s evidence? _Mr. Chandler._ I did. _Couns. for the Cr._ Does Mr. Peale’s practice differ in any respect from that of the Prisoner, as related by the Doctor? _Mr. Chandler._ It differs in some few particulars. _Couns. for the Cr._ What are these particulars? _Mr. Chandler._ I think, Dr. Baker informed the Court that the persons to be inoculated are a fortnight under preparation. That time is now reduced to eight days. The pill is not given every other night, as mentioned by the Doctor; many of Mr. Peale’s patients not having taken it till the fifth day after inoculation. It is generally repeated on the seventh day, and sometimes continued to the eighth or ninth. When the eruptive fever comes on, a sort of julap is given to be drank _ad libitum_; composed of a small quantity of a medicine nearly the colour of Madeira wine, poured into a quart or pint bottle of spring water. It’s taste is very agreeable, cooling, and sub-acid. And here my observations differ most from the accounts related to Dr. Baker; for though this medicine, if taken upon going to bed, did sometimes seem to occasion a slight perspiration, yet an increased perspiration was never, that I saw, or could learn, insisted on in the day, much less a profuse sweat at any time: for none of the patients are allowed to lie in bed, or sit over the fire, or keep within doors, if the weather is tolerable, even during the feverish symptoms, and the only drink allowed is toast and water. _Couns. for the Prisoner._ I thought, Sir, you said that the patients were allowed a certain sub-acid julap _ad libitum_? and now you tell us, that the only drink allowed is toast-water. I beg, gentlemen of the jury, you will observe that he contradicts himself. _Mr. Chandler._ When I said that toast-water was the only drink allowed, I certainly mean to except the julap, which I considered as a medicine, and the toast-water as common drink. _Couns. for the Prisoner._ I submit it to the Court, whether he did not contradict himself. _President._ He has explained his meaning sufficiently. _C. for the Prisoner._ I submit. Mr. Chandler, we desire you will not leave the Court; we shall ask you a few more questions by and by. _C. for the Pris._ Pray, Mr. Chandler, let me ask you, whether you know the composition of the medicines given by Mr. Peale? _Mr. Chandler._ I do not. _Couns. for the Pris._ You do not. Then they are secret medicines? _Mr. Chandler._ They are.
