HE advantages of a publication 

of this kind to the practitioner in- 
medicine, are ('tis preſumed) too ob- 
vious to need enumeration ; I ſhall, 
therefore, only premiſe a few neceſſary 
obſervations relative to the work itſelf. 


I. The doſes of medicines, &c. are 
fet down as for adults; and therefore, 
the preſcriber will eaſily vary them for 
other ages. For example, children of 
two years old may, in general, take 

about a third part of the doſes for adults, 
ora little more; and ſo in proportion 
for other ages, tlie conſtitution being alſo 


conſidered. | | 
þ | | II . 


vi P RE FA C E. 


II. Where it could conveniently be 
done, I have mentioned the intervals 
at which the medicines are to be fepeat- 
ed: but theſe may be varied at the pre- 
ſcriber's diſcretion. For brevity's ſake 
I have, in many places, uſed the word 
frequenter ; by which I would have it 
underſtood, that every three, four, ſix, 
eight, &c. hours are. meant, according 
to the exigency of the caſe. 


III. When any particular indication 
is to be obſerved, the claſſes (as cathar- 
tics, diuretics, aſtringents, &c.) may 
be referred to; under which heads, as 
many of the compoſitions and ſimples as, 
were judged neceſſary, are arranged. 


IV. The limits aſſigned to the work 
would not admit of formulz; nor do I 
think them by any means neceſſary. 
| The doſes of all the articles uſually ad- 
miniſtered. 


and hou, = 


PREFACE. vi 

miniſtered are ſet down; and I will not 
ſuppoſe, that there 1s any medical prac- 
titioner, who cannot give directions for 
making them into draughts, boluſes, 
or other forms that may be required, 
The vehicles ſhould be either perfectly 
innocent, (as aq. pura, ſyr. ſimp. &c.) 
or of ſimilar virtues with the medicines 
to be given. And if two articles of the 
ſame virtues (cathartics, for example) 
are employed, it ſcarce need be men- 


S tioned, that the doſe of each muſt be 
I proportionably leſs. It may be added, 


that ingredients of a. volatile nature 
ſhould be given in a liquid form, leſt 


their virtues exhale ; very nauſeous ones, 


ſhould, if convenient, be given in the 
form of pills or boluſes. 


V. In the alphabet I have, for the moſt 
part, made uſe of Engliſh names; or at 
leaſt, have uſually referred from thoſe 


where technical ones are employed.

vii FPR EFA TE. 
This work was drawn up originally for 
my own uſe, and in the courſe of prac- 
” tice, I have found it very convenient to 
refer to occaſionally. It was the opinion 
of thoſe medical Gentlemen who ſaw the 
M. S. that it would be equally uſeful 
to others, and this was my motive for 
making it public, If it aſſiſts the prac- 
titioner's memory in matters already 
known, (at leaſt till he has leiſure to 
conſult larger works, where neceſſary,) 
my defign is anſwered, .

ſerviceable, though often hurtful in the for-

patients ſubject to the ſanguineous, and a con- 
trary one, with exerciſe, for ſuch as are re- 
covered from a pituitous apoplexy.

TREATMENT. If an acid in the ſtomach be the 
cauſe, vomit, and give teſtaceous powders,

mintics. If it be natural, or proceeds from

Srurrous. A difficulty of: breathing, attended 
with wheezing; it returns at intervals; is 
preceded by diſinclination to motion, loſs cf 
appetite, oppreſſion, flatulency, and frequent 
eructations. At length, the cheeks become 
red, the eyes prominent, and there is ſuch 
an anxiety and ſenſe of ſuffocation, that the 
patient can only breathe in an ere& poſture, 
and can ſcarce ſpeak or expeQorate. If he 
happens to ſleep he ſnores much; at the height 
of the fit is deſirous of cool free air; ſweats 
about the neck and forehead; coughs up a 
little frothy matter with great difficulty; no 
fever; pulſe extremely ſmall and weak; urine 
pale and copious; as the fit abates, an expec- 
toration of mucus; the urine becomes higher 
coloured, and depoſits a copious ſediment. - 
TREATMENT. During the fit bleed, if. age or 
weakneſs do not forbid ; bliſter between the 
ſhoulders, or at the pit of the ſtomach; the 
body ſhould be opened with gentle cathartics ; .

Srurrous. A vehement burning fixed pain 
is felt in the parts moſt affected, with heat of 
the whole body, quick pulle, loſs of firength, 
anxiety and reltlefineſs. 

TREATMENT. Bleed largely, wh repeat it if 
neceſſary, and the pulſe will bear it; procure 

tools with ſoft mild cathartics, as ol. ricini, 
oily mixtures with manna, and tart. ſolub. or 
the like; or if theſe will not ſtay, with pills

COLIC Nervous, called alſo the Dewonſoire 
Colic, Colic of Poictiers, dry Gripes, and the 
dry Belly- ach. 

SYMPTOMS. Begins with a ſenſe of weight or 
pain at the pit of the ſtomach, attended with 


loſs of appetite, yellowiſhneſs in the counte- 


nance, a flight nauſea, and coſtiveneſs; a 
vomiting of acrid ſlime, and green bile ſuc- 
ceed ; the pain often deſcends to the navel, 
ſhooting from thence to each ſide, with great 
violence; the inteſtines ſeem drawn to the 
ſpine, with conyulfive ſpaſms ; the pain con- 
tinues without remiſſion for ſeveral hours to- 
gether; pulſe as in health; no fever, but 
rather lowneſs; when at length the pain 
abates, an odd tingling is felt along the ſpina 
dorſi, which extending to the legs and arms, 
they become weak and paralytic. 

TREATMENT. - Vomit ſeveral times with warm 
chamomile tea, then give opium in pills or 
otherwiſe, as alſo by clyſter; the pain and 


tenſion being removed by theſe, give gentle 


cathartics, ſuch as ol. ricini, infuſ. ſen. wich

be preſcribed ; bleed, if the pulſe be high; 


ſtools being procured, an anodyne, carmina- 


tive, and antiſpaſmodic may be given, as 
- camphire, valerian, caſtor, conf. card. or the 


like, with opium. If the pain returns, have 


recourſe again to opium pills ; if paralytic 


. ſymptoms come on, embrocate the limbs and 


ſpine with lin. vol. cum camphor. or other 
warm liniment. If convulſions, give muſk 
with opium. After the diſorder, bark, with 
bitters and rhubarb, ſhould be ordered ; toge- 
ther with a light, but nutritive diet. Flannel 
may alſo be worn round the waiſt. 


Painters and glaziers, who are ſubject to this 


diſorder on account of the lead uſed in their 
work, rely on burnt gin, which I have ſeen 
them take with ſurprizing ſucceſs.

SymPeTOMs. Ihe colic which ſometimes ariſeth 
from the ſtone, may be known from the other 
kinds by the following ſigns: There is a fixed 


pain in the kidney, which is propagated to the 
genitals; ſtools afford preſent relief in other 
colics, but not in this; after eating, the pain 


is increaſed in others, but leſſened in this; 


in others, the urine is thicker in the begin- 


ning

TREATMENT. Bleed, if the patient can bear 
it; ſtools muſt be procured by ſaline or other 
cathartics, and emollient clyſters ; previous to 
which, an emetic may alſo be given if judged 
neceſſary; and fomentations, or bladders of 
hot water may be applied to the belly ; as 
may likewiſe anodyne, ſpirituous, and aro-

Sometimes a purging is an effort of nature, to 
relieve the conſtitution from offending matters, 
or it is critical. You muſt be careful to diſtin- 

guiſn in theſe cauſes, as checking the purg- 
ing may be followed by a yer, or other bad 
conſequences. 

In diarrhœas, vegetable and aceſcent diet ſhould 
be refrained from; deco. alb. is beſt for 
common drink, and rice victuals for: food. 
When purgings proceed from a putreſcent 
cauſe, ripe fruits and antiſ-prics are proper.

phlegmatis ; when there is a collection of water 


in the abdomen, it is termed Aſcites; if in the 
brain, Hydrocephalus; if in the breaſt, Hydrops 
pectoris; if in the womb, Hydrops uteri; and 


if in the ſcrotum, Hydrocele. 


In common dropſies the legs uſually ſwell „and a 


dent or pit remains for ſome time after preſſing 


the fleſh with the finger; the appetite abates; 
the face either bloats or becomes thin and pale; 
little urine 1s made ; ; thirſt, flow fever, ſhort- 
neſs of breath, laſſitude and heavineſs ; theſe 
ſymptoms obtain eſpecially in the anaſarca 
and aſcites. In the hydrocephalus, convul- 
ſions, ſquinting, ſhunning the light, opening 
of the ſutures, and vomiting of bile, commonly 
attend, eſpecially iſ the diſeaſe be far ad- 
vanced. | 


TREATMENT. In the Ana/arca and Aſcites, 


purges with jalap, ſcammony, calomel, gam- 
boge, elaterium, or the like, twice or thrice 


a week. Tin. cupri, ſquills, tinct. cantharid.

Emetics and ſudorifics, bliſters and ſcarifica-

all kinds uſed to be avoided, but are now 
allowed freely with ſucceſs, eſpecially after 
the draſtic purges. Cryſtals of tartar given in 
large quantity, have had good effect. Gum 
guaiacum has alſo been recommended. In 
this complaint bread is generally ordered to be 
toaſted, and fleſh to be baked, roafted, or broit- 
ed. Smoking is of great uſe, and muſtard- 
ſeeds taken whole have often been of ſervice. 
If the diſorder ariſeth from the too copious uſe 
of weak liquids, or obſtructed perſpiration, 
- ſudorifics are much to be depended upon. If 
from drunkenneſs, riding on horſeback and 
the uſe of wine, or rather geneva diluted with 
water, in moderate quantity, will be uſeful. 
If from a conſumptive tendency, ' diuretics, 
| Joined with corroborants. If after great loſs 
of blood, or from tedious fevers, cathartics © 
ſhould not be uſed too freely, but chalybeate 
bitters ſhould be chiefly relied on. In the 
Aſcites, tapping muſt be performed, if the me- 
thods above recommended fail. | 
In Drop/y of the breaſt, diuretics are chiefly to 
be employed, cathartics only occaſionally. 
Bliſters applied below the breaſt, . and even on 
the thighs or legs, 2 en open, are uſo 
18 effectual.

ſymptoms,. as crying, laughing, &c. and at 
length, an immoderate defire of coition, ac- 
companied with libidinous ſpeeches and geſ- 
tures. It is peculiar to the female ſex, and 
proceeds from an abundance of acrimony of 
the flaids ſecreted in the pudenda.

Heart-burn may be occaſioned by corroding hu- 
mours of other kinds, and will not therefore 
be eaſed by alkalis; emetics, with plenty of 
chamomile tea or other liquid, to cleanſe the 
ftomach, are here proper ; cathartics may alſo 
be uſeful, and theſe may be followed by fto- 
machics ; but water with gum arabic diſſolved 
in it, will give occaſional relief. Worms will 
alſo ſometimes occaſion this complaint ; ver- 
mifuges are then proper.

It is of more conſequence here to deſcribe the 
ſymptoms in the dog than thoſe of the patient. 
We may know the dog to be mad by his dull 
heavy look, endeavouring to hide himſelf ; | 
ſeldom or ever barking ; angry and Ynarls at 
ſtrangers, but fawns on his owner; refuſes all 
food, droops, hangs down his ears and tail, 
and often lays down as if going to ſleep; this 

x is the firſt ſtage.

| ſhoots out his tongue, ſlavers, and froths at

at byſtanders; runs forward in a curve line;

at length he knows not his owner, his eyes 
become thick and dim, and water runs from 
them ; tongue of a lead colour ; grows weak 
and faint; often falls down, then rifes, and 
aitempts to fly at ſomething ; grows mad and 
furious; the nearer to this ſtate, the more 
dangerous the bite, | 


If the ſtate of the dog cannot be obtained, he 


may be known to have been mad, or the diſ- 
order may be known to be this by the follow- 
ing effects, which will come on ſooner or la- 
ter: The bitten part begins to be painful, 
wandering pains come on gradually, with hea- 
vineſs and uneaſineſs; diſturbed ſleep, fright- 
ful dreams, ſtartings, ſpaſms, ſighing, anxiety, 
love of ſolitude; pains ſhoot from the bitten 
part up to the throat, with ſtraightneſs, ſen- 
ſation of choaking, and horror or dread at 
ſight of water or other liquids, which is a ſuf- 
ficient characteriſtic of the diſeaſe. 
TREATMENT. Cut out the bitten part imme- 
diately, which is the only certain cure: cup- 
ping- glaſſes ſhould then be applied ; cauterize 
and waſh it daily with ſalt water, or ung. czrul. 
fort. keeping it open with eſcarotics ; bleed, 
if the veſſels be full; vomit with merc. emer.

days, then dries away, the ſkin peeling off; 
but the other ſymptoms remain and even in- 
creaſe, eſpecially the cough, which is alſo at- 
tended generally with difficulty of breathing,

caſtor, or the like, with tinct. melampodii, 
aloes, oil or extract of ſavine, pennyroyal, and 
the like. Bathing the feet, fomenting the 
belly, and fitting over over the ſteams of hot 
water are good in both habits; attenuants in 
caſe of viſcid blood ; emetics are often effica- 
cious, as are ſometimes ſmall doſes of mcrcu- 
rials; exerciſe, and if the appetite be vitiated, 
proper ftomachics. Of late, electricity has 
been found efficacious in caſes of this ſort, by 
drawing ſparks, and ſending gentle ſhocks 
through the pelvis.

PHYMOSIS and PARAPHYMOSTS 

SYMPTOMS. The firſt is a cloſing of the prepuce 
over the glans penis, ſo as not to be drawn 

back; the laſt, a conſtriction of it behind the 
glans, ſo as not to be drawn forward over it. 

TREATMENT. Foment, poultice, bleed, and 
purge; vomit if neceſſary; and give cooling 
febrifuges, If theſe fail, proper inciſions muſt 
be made. 


PILES, or painful Tumours in the Anus or 
Rectum. 

TaraTMENT. Bleed, if neceſſary; and give 
ſulphur, or æthiops mineral, nitre, and elect. 
lenitiv. opiates if they are very painful; and 
if they are external, foment them with warm 
emollient liquors, or anoint them with ung. 
ſamb. or the like; if they bleed much, apply 
gentle aſtringents; if much ſwelled and in- 
flamed, ſcarify, or apply leeches to them. 
Balſ. ſulph. is very proper to apply to the 
Piles, and the ung. cærul. has alſo been found 
uſeful. They may more expeditiouſly be 
driven away by liniments made of powder of 
galls, or ſugar of lead, or by waſhing them 
with ſolutions of white or blue vitriol. But

white precipitate mixed with pomatum. If |

cauſe (as it is termed) treat them with altera-

FL: A ͤ U - 


i; SYMPTOMS. Shivering; pain in the head, back, 
0 and ſtomach; ſickneſs and vomiting ; deſpon- 

dency, anxiety, difficult breathing, wildneſs of 
ö countenance, high fever, faintings, hiccups, 
: and catching of the tendons. Tumours at 


length appear in the groin, arm-pits, or be- 

hind the ears; and then the fever abates, but 

returns if the tumours fink. Fœtid breath and 

ſweat; livid ſpots, ſometimes broad, and ſud- 1 

denly diſappearing. Carbuncles ariſe in the 
| 


worſt ſtate of the diſeaſe, which ſeldom ſuppu- 
rate kindly, but appear as red fiery circles ; 
are ſmall tumours with corrupted fleſh under- 4] 
neath, and are attended with great itching. 19 
The ſymptoms, however, vary according to I's 
the conſtitution and ſtate of the air, but theſe 


are the moſt general, | 
TREAT- | 


92 THE MEDICAL 


TREATMENT. The tumours are critical, and 
ſhould be encouraged by ripening cataplaſms 
and proper cordials; the carbuncles ſhould be 
poulticed with cataplaſm e cymino, or the like; 
and if they appear gangrenous, ſcarify, and 
dreſs them with ol. terebinth, and hot digeſ- 
tives, as in Mortifications. 

The diſeaſe itſelf ſhould be treated with diapho- 
retics, antiſeptics, cordials, antiphlogiſtics, or 
other remedies, according to the ſymptoms 
but in genera], camphire, nitre, ſnakeroot, and: 
bark, &c. an emetic being firſt given, ſeem 
moſt eligible in this dreadful diſorder, 

NV. B. The vapour generated by nitre, eſpecially 
if the deflagration be made with odoriferous 
ingredients, is ſaid to prevent infection. | 
Inoculation has lately been recommended in the 
Plague by Dr. Samoilowitz, a Ruſſian phyſician; 
but if the diſeaſe (as ſeems to be the caſe) 1s 
liable to attack more than once, this can be 
of no uſe. | |

T&EATMENT. If neceſſary bleed, and purge 
with elect. e ſcammon. ſena, &c. Puly. do- 
veri, or other anodyne ſudorific, may be given. 
Calomel in ſmall doſes, with vin. antim. has 
been found efficacious; as hath likewiſe kermes 
mineral, with camphire, about three grains 
of each. Bark and farſapiralla are given by 
ſome ; but gum guaiacum with volatile ſalt*, 
the guaiacum with an opiate, or ſal c. c. with 
nitre, and julep e camph. according to cir- 
cumſtances, are generally ſucceſsful. Warm 
embrocations to the part, and flannel are alſo 
ſerviceable z cold bathing, where not improper 
on other accounts; a flannel ſhirt worn next 
the ſkin, is a good preventive of a return. 
N. B. Muſtard has been effectual, taken in- 
wardly, and rubbed into the part. Electricity, 
friction and exerciſe of the part, are uſeful.

The Land Scurvy (improperly ſo called) is Mile 
a cutaneous diſeaſe; ſcurfy or ſcabby eruptions 
appear, either partially, or more univerſally ; 
often with itching and heat. b 

The antimonial alteratives, with gentle mercu- 
rials, are often efficacious ; aq. calcis c. ſucc, 
ſcorbutic, or the like, may be uſed with them. 
Cream of tartar and flowers of ſulphur are 
good. The parts may be anointed with ſatur-

About the ſeventh day from the eruption, 
(ſometimes the ninth) they dry, or turn as it is 
called, and ſcale off, leaving red marks, and 
ſometimes pits behind, | 

TREATMENT. If the pulſe be full and ſtrong at 
the beginning, bleed; and if neceſſary, or the 
period be ſufficiently early, purge, and give 
anemetic. During the eruptive fever, cooling 
febrifuges, with laxatives, or clyſters occa- 
ſionally; but if the ſymptoms require it (as 
low pulſe, &c.) gentle cordials and diaphore- 
tics. After the eruption, little is generally 
required but a gentle anodyne at night, pro- 
per diluents, and if neceſſary, opening clyſters, 
&c. If purging comes on, check it with cau- 
tion; if delirium or fever, apply bliſters ; and 
if the pock ſinks, give bark, with proper di- 
aphoretics and cordials ; eſpecially if malig- 
nant or putrid ſymptoms, or petechiz appear, 
Spt. vitrioli dulcis is alſo good in theſe caſes, 
as are ſinapiſms to the feet. | 

In the copfluent kind, all the ſymptoms are worſe 
than in the Aitinct. The eruption makes its 
appearance a day or two later, and does not 
come to its height till the eleventh or four- 
teenth day after the fever alſo continues after 
the eruption appears, and a ſalivation comes.

108 THE MEDICAL 


The patient require to be ſupported more in 
this caſe than in the other; care, however, 
muſt be taken in both kinds to avoid too much 
heat, or a heating regimen; and pure, and 
even cool air, where no objection appears, is 
ſalutary. If the puſtules are opened, and the 
matter let out, ſo much the better; eſpecially 
if danger of their ſinking or ſtrik ing in appears. 
Purging is eſteemed proper after this diſcaſe. 
To zneculate for the Small. Pox, take a little mat - 
ter from a puſtule, after the eruptive fever, 
on the point of a lancet, and inſert it in the 
arm (by making a ſmall puncture or two) be— 
twen the true and ſcarf ſkin, which may after- 
wards be preſſed down with the flat fide of the 
lancet. Three or four days afterwards the 
punctures appear inflamed; in about three 
days more the precurſory ſymptoms come on, 
and at length the eruption. 
Previous to the inoculation, a mercurial purge 
or two may be adminiſtered, if the patient is 
of a full or grois habit ; ; and he ſhould alſo be 
reſtrained to a milk and farinaceous or vege- 
table diet, avoiding eſpecially high ſeaſoned 
food. It is found beſt to keep him out of bed, 
and even now and then in the cold air. The 
ſymptoms are generally io favourable, that little 
aſſiſtance is required from medicine, except a 
few

TREATMENT. Bleed, purge, and even vomit, if 
neceſſary, in order to cauſe revulion, Warm 


emollient fomentations and poultices are uſually 


recommended; but Dr. Simmons, in his inge- 
nious practical treatiſe on the Gonorrhæa, re- 
commends cold applications to the part, as be- 
ing much more efficacious. Febrifuges and 
gentle diaphoretics, with an anodyne at night, 
are good. If matter forms, open and let it 
out. The teſticles ſhould be ſuſpended, and

Try to diſperſe them with mercurial unction or 
plaiſter, or friction; or if theſe fail, hem lock 
fomentations and poultices, and give ext. cicut. 
or mercurials, with ſarſaparilla, &c. and oc- 
caſional purges. If you cannot diſperſe them, 
endeavour at ſuppuration; if that fails, extir- 
pation, where it can be done, is the only cure.

A collection of wind or air in the inteſtines, par- 
ticularly the colon, by which they become 
violently diſtended. It ſometimes ariſes from 
checking a diarrhœa, or from the imprudent 
uſe of bark in intermittents. 

TREATMENT. If fever and full pulſe, bleed; 
keep the body open with gentle laxatives, 
joined with aromatics; but refrain from ſtrong 

purges, and from carminatives not joined with 

proper aperients. 'The belly ſhould be fre-

ſmall doſe of calomel, merc. calcinat. or other 
proper mercurial, every night; and nitre, with 
gum arabic and ſome gentle lenitive, ſeveral 
times in the day; repeating the purge occa- 
ſionally. If theſe are not judged ſufficient, a 
ſmall quantity of ung. czrul. fort. may be 
rubbed into the thigh or leg every night. The 

parts ſhould be kept clean by waſhing them 
with warm milk and water. This courſe ſhould 
be perſiſted in till the virulence is ſubdued, af- 
terwards a few cooling purges; and ball. capaiy, 
with aſtringent, or other injections, if gleet or 
ulcer remain, will uſually be ſufficient. 

Buboes are generally adviſed to be diſperſed with 
ang. czrul. fort. but if they are advanced, 
they ſhould be brought forward by proper ſup- 
puratives, opened and digeſted thoroughly off, 
which is uſually attended with the moſt ſalu- 
tary effects. Abſceſſes in perinzo, ſhould, if 
poſſible, be diſperſed.

toms are to be removed by bleeding, purging, 
or other proper medicines; ulcers, abſceſſes, 
&c. ſhould be treated as required in ſuch caſes; 
but the diſeaſe which is the cauſe of theſe 
ſhould be principally attended to, and when 
that is ſubdued by a proper mercurial courſe, 
the other ſymptoms will either diſappear, or 
may be removed by requiſite methods. A 
Gleet, for example, will ſometimes remain after 
the diſorder is cured ; and muſt be treated with

ſpects (the ſuture excepted) proceed as above. 
If an artery or vein be wounded or divided, 
apply ſtyptics, ligatures, &c. according to cir- 
cumſtances. If a nerve be divided in part (as

the caſe with a tendon or artery in like cir- 
cumſtances. If there be fever, bleed, purge, 
and give cooling febrifuges; and if inflamma- 
tion, apply emollient poultices and fomenta- 
tions, If the patient is low, and the wound 
does not go on kindly, bark, or other proper 
cordial and ſtrengthening medicines, with ſuit- 
able diet, ſhould be preſcribed.
