and black as a hat. It came, I ſuppoſe, by 
a bruiſe in walking, immediately after a 
fitt of che gout in that part. The third was

not lay my ſelf under any en-

ſuch as I had form'd to my ſelf, from ex-

great ſocietys of men, ſtates, kingdoms, | 
empires ; ;. o in the conduct of every pri- 
vate man's life, this over- rules all ay pet 
tal or acquired inclinations,and turns them 
as beſt ſuits his own purpoſes and infinite 
wiſdom. When J reflect upon ſeveral; re- 
markable coincidences, in my own fortune; 
I ſeem to diſcern a ſuperior direction in 
this affair before us, without which in all :

would have been loſt to the world. This

thus much; both from the violent oppoſi- 
tion abovemention'd, and from Dr. Rogers 


the inventor's averfion to make himſelf or 
remedy publick.. He never had the leaſt 


thought of doing it: but I perſuaded him 


to permit the World to reap the advantage 
of his labors, hazard, and pains, and to 


reward him for it. Providence directed 
me to the Cure of this pariſh in the year 
1729, in which year. in the month of May 
he firſt began to put in practiſe theſe oyls 


upon himſelf: I ſucceeded his brother, and 


he himſelf became my. pariſhioner ; but 


being of oppoſite partys, we had then no 


particular friendſhip. He had labor'd un- 
der. the diſtemper in a moſt deplorable 


manner, being laid up frequently 6 months 


at a time with it. Life, he ſaid, was be- 
come a mere burden to him, and to try 
ſomewhat, the only hope left. His father 
was of great eminence for his skill in 
pharmacy, and no. one will deny him the 


juſtice to fay the ſame of him. The ſuc-

his own cure, for a year or two. Tis

Fe pen 1732. J was ſeiz d with a fitt 
on St. Peter's day, which is June 29. it 
confin'd me in the houſe for 3 months and 
more. It happen'd during my tedious and 
melancholy decumbiture, Dr. Rogers riding 


abroad to viſit a patient, was thrown off 


his horſe in galloping. The horſe fell up- 
on his leg and bruis'd him in a moſt 
deſperate manner. That leg was ſwell'd, 
inflam' d to a high degree, from knee to 
ancle, perfectly black in color, with watry 
bliſters; a frightful ſpectacle reſembling a 
mortification. The gout the unlucky con- 
comitant of all misfortunes of this kind, 
immediately pour d upon both feet, knees, 
hams, and his left ſhoulder. All the world 
of his acquaintance expected nothing leſs 


than a fatal cataſtrophe. He had recourſe 


only to his oyls, never lett blood once nor 
purg' d. In leſs than a month, that terrible 
contuſion, all the gout and ſymptoms were 
intirely vaniſh'd; and he was reſtor'd to a 


better ſtate of health, and uſe: of his legs, 
than he had enjoy'd for ſeveral years be-

fore, to the amazement of the whole towh 
of Stamford and the neighborhood, 
This extraordinary event alarm'd me, 
and made me ſeriouſly to reflect upon it + 
the gout at that time ſtill hanging upon 
me. At length I determin'd to uſe tlie oyls, 
and they inſtantly reliev'd me, and put a 
moſt deſireable period to a fitt which 
commenced at the latter end of June. This 


was the t rth of December. 
When I conſider'd carefully the ood I re 
effect this application had upon my {elf ande O ey 


others, and its perfect ſafety, for Dr. Rogers 
had us'd it 4 years upon himſelf: I could 
not omit, acquainting the world with it, 
as ſoon as poſſible. He knew not the leaſt 
of my intentions; nor was there any inti- 
macy berween us. They that wiſh well to 
mankind will, I doubt not, rejoice, now I 
can inform them, that I have no need to 
retract in any wiſe from that notification. 
That I am confirmed very much in my 
opinion, of the excellent uſe of theſe oyls 
in the gout, from innumerable caſes ſince 
then, where they have been apply d, in all 
parts of the kingdom; in Which they 
have not once fall d. Thoſe that happend _ 
near me, T have Þeen particularly curi- 
ous, in attending and obterving, thro' the 
whole ſtage of the diſtemper and the 
cure; not without great aſtoniſhment. 
But what is moſt ſenſible, I had a ne-

_ *Tis burthening the reader's patience : 
and my own, to recite many of theſe caſes, —

The cure is as general as the variety of 
caſes can be. I have ſeen where the recent 
gout has fallen upon perſons in full vigor

in years that have labor'd long under the 
cruel evil. And in xhęumatiſms of the 
moſt ſevere kind, and in many inſtances $ 
of the ſciatica or hip-gout. Sharp has \ 
been the engagement between the malady 
and the remedy; yet in a week's time the 
Het is maſter'd by the unction, all the pain 
and ſwelling is gone, and in 10 days or 
a fortnight they can walk abroad, and ride 
as well as ever: which fitts ordinarily

to return in 3 or 4 days time; they are 
entirely quit of pain, and can live after

In a common and moderate fitt, where 
it's not become inveterate, the cure is ſo

as a delicacy, than a medicinal appli-

uſual, and appear'd as fiery and inflam'd. 
3 or 4 days ſet me in that ſtate of recove- 
ry, which ſcarce leſs than 3 or 4 months 
would otherwiſe have done. In a week's 
time I was perfectly well. On the gth 
day I buckled on my ordinary Shoo, and 
in a day or two more I walk'd abroad 
and have continued well ever fince. 
The ſwelling was perfectly gone in 10 
days time, and ſince that, my feet have 
been ſtronger than ever for 5 years laſt 
paſt, and the like is obſerved by others 
that have uſed theſe oyls. It did not at- 
tempt to ſeize on the other foot, as always 
was the caſe before. I obſerved too, that 
the skin of the foot never came off as 
uſual, after ſolution of the fitt. Tis not 
eaſy to imagin the pleaſure I felt, in thus 
eſcaping with the thouſandth part of the 
pain which commonly attends us, in this 
unhappy fituation: when I have enjoy'd 
a molt perfect health and free uſe of exer- 
ciſe for the 6 months laſt paſt, which 
would otherwiſe have been conſum'd in 
the moſt irkſome confinement.  - + 
During my ſtudys in phyſick I wat

the authors I could meet with, whilſt I 
practis'd in the Metropolis. A large volume 
I wrote, being an. intire hiſtory of the diſ- 
temper, and the practiſe upon it, from 
the beginning to our own times; and much 
ſollicited have I been by friends and fel- 
low-ſufferers to publiſh it. But I was too 
ſenſible che-principal part, the crown-work 
was wanting, the Cure. Without that, 
Tis in vain to harangue the world with 
the formal and formidable pomp of 
ætiologics, pathognomonics, procatarctics, 
prognoſtics: to define, diſtinguiſh with 
ſubcilty, to ranſack nature's receſſes, to be 
elaborate in hiſtorys of caſes, all the while 
the poor podagric ſuffers on. Nor has 
the diſtemper loſt an inch of ground from 
Hippocratess days even to our own, The 
gout the ſupreme tyrant ſtill gives ſen- 
tence, as in Lucian 1500 years ago.

In this deplorable ſtate of things, where 
I myſelf made an unhappy. part, from a 
paternal /abes, my thoughts were intent up- 
on the diſtemper. I was always watchtul 
of relief: J ever had the ſtrongeſt perſua- 
ſion in my mind that I ſhould live to ſee 
that great diſcovery. For which reaſon I 


thankfully received the great bleſſing which 
0 G4 1 Provi- 


rx need oblerve no more than that the ear- 


but to the phyſicians. 


The 1, 2 7 Ye out 


. [ 40 ] 
Providence has vouchſaf d us. I think it 


a duty remaining to give the publick an 


account of what is the reſult of my medi- 
tations thereon, during the week's operati- 


on of the oyls. Now we may advanta- 
geouſly theorize from practiſe, not practiſe 


from theory. We may venture to write 
on a diſtemper when we have a ſure re- 
medy for it: and when the very cure will 
enable us to reaſon upon it. Nor will this 
be an uſeleſs labor, or a ſpeculation of cu- 
rioſity only: becauſe by ſearching out the 
true nature of it, we are inſtructed beſt in 
a prophylactic regimen, and may provide 
for its extirpation, at leaſt to weaken it 
very much and make it eaſy and gentle. 
No wiſe man will wiſh for a fever. or wil- 
lingly ſtand the chance of it, tho' we have 


ſo noble a remedy as the cortex, nor ought 
we to be careleſs and intemperate, becauſe | 


we can cure the gout. 
As to the hiſtory of the_diſtemper, I 


lyeſt account we have of it is in the Scrip- 
ture, and the earlyeſt we can expect to 


have. « II. Chron. XVI. 12. Aſa in the 39th 


* year of his reign, was diſeaſed in his feet 
ce till his diſeaſe became exceeding great: 
“ yet therein he ſought not to the Lord, 
And Aſa flept 
with his fathers and dy!d:in the 41ſt; year 
Ft of his reign,” It follows, that he was 

i: | | W 


[ - 4 x ] 
burnt in a funeral pile, as was the Roman 
cuſtom afterward. It can't be . doubted 
that this diſtemper was the gout, and 
coming upon him, when in years, ſoon 
put a period to his life. © In I. Kings XV. 
* 23, we read it, in the time of his old 5 
cc age he was diſeaſed in his feet. I don't 
ſuppoſe Aſa was the firſt that had this di- 
ſtemper, but is the firſt recorded in hiſto- 
ry, and this is near 200 years before the 
foundation of Rome. Tho' he was a very 
good man, yet he fail'd of his duty to his 
maker, in this inſtance, that in ſo great a 
diſtemper, he did not conſult the Lord, 
but the phyſicians. In thoſe times of the 
firſt temple, there was a viſible ſhechinah 
or glory, conſtantly reſident upon the mer- 
cy- ſeat that covered the ark, between the 
wings of the cherubim in the adytum of 
Solomon's temple. The peculiar deity of 
this people, the Fehovah was perſonally 
preſent there, and anſwer'd in an audible 
voice, when acceptably conſulted. And 
affairs of health were frequently the ſub- 
ject matter of conſultation. Ego Fehovah 
fanans te, ſays God, Exod. XV. 26. whence 
the ancients made their Æſculapius. Taci- 
tus hints well IV. hit. © many call Aſcu- 
* lapius God, becauſe he heals the ſick. 
** Some hold him for Ofr:is the moſt an-

iter is no other than the Fehovah of the 


Hebrews, anciently wrote Jovis, which is 
a greek termination of the heb, word. Heze- 
Hab being ill, the Lord ſent Jaiab the 
prophet to him to apply a lump of figs for 
a plaiſter to his boyl, and he recover d. II 
Kings XX. 7. Iſaiah XXXVIII. 21. The 


devil in his oracles perſonated Jebovab, 


whence we read in the holy Scriptures, II 


Kings I. 2. Abaziab king of 1/rael ſent to 


enquire of the oracle of Baalzebub the god 


of Ekron, whether he ſhould recover of his 


diſeaſe. Hippocrates de priſea med. ſays the 
art of Phyſick ought to be refer'd to God, 
for its original. Celſus in his preface ſays, 
diſeaſes in the moſt antient times were 
thought owing to the anger of the immor- 
tal gods, and from them they ask'd relief, 
In imitation of this method of God al- 


mighty's, the heathen by the Devil's en- 


couragement ſet up their oracles, and at 
firſt they were chiefly conſulted for reme- 


dys in diſeaſes, ſays Pliny nat. hiff. L. 29. 


And no doubt but that cunning ſpirit, who 


could ſee farther into the powers of na- 
ture than man, kept up the credit of 
theſe places of enquiry, by now and then 

rforming a cure. And it was the me- 


chod of people to write a tablet and hang 


it up in the temple, of the remedy by 
which they were cured. And by means of 
theſe, Hippocrates (who was a moſt _—

lent genius  withal) arriv'd at his great 
skill in the profeſſion. However it hap- 
en'd, bur true it is, that all mankind ever 
— have as unſucceſsfully conſulted the 
phyſician in the gout, as king Aſa did. 
God almighty has thought fit to ſet times 
to all uſeful inventions in every art, and | 
now only (I think) we may with ſure ef- | k 
fect pronounce a remedy for Aſa's diſtem- 
per, in the ſacred words of the great Pro- 
phet and legiſlator, which I have quoted 
in the title page. 4 
'Tis impertinent to be tedious in giving Des pho bl 
a deſcription of the gout. The poets ſtu- [1

ſo proper to paint the direneſs of it, as 
in their words. For which purpoſe I chuſe

All ſavory things convey into the blood 


great quantitys of theſe ſalts, which are

Hence when the gout falls u apes yeo people in 
7 years, it proves very fevere, for want of a 
, neceſſary quantity of that oleaginous mat- 
; ter to extinguiſh it. And inſtead of a 
week or a fortnight for its period, takes ſome 
| 


months; and makes quick returns again. 
So that a fitt of the gout is moſt undoubted- 
ly a criſis, and a juſt and uſeful criſis for. 
a while. A after a few fitts, it ceaſes to 
be fo. And tis hard to ſay whether we are 
to- blame nature or the — s OWN con- 
duct, who ſcatce hitherto has had it in his 
to aſſiſt her, for want of knowing 
what was the real nature of the diſtemper. 
Thas I ſhall explain my meaning. There 
are thouſands of people, who live the moſt 
irregular, luxurious and debauch d. lives 
imaginable, and yet enjoy a good ſtate of 
health for many years, and eſcape the gout. 
As many people are obnoxious to it, who 
lead pretty regular lives, at leaſt many de- 
more ſo than the foremention d, and 
yet are plagu'd with the gout; and appa- 
tenfly deſerve not ſo ſevere a remedy. 
Ought we not then to change the common 
ſentiments which we have got of this diſ- 
temper; and call it a falſe criſis, when it's 
notorious that in the fortmention'd people 
ſhe finds out a better manner of relieving 
herſelf, from time to time, and with lefs 
real harm to the animal œconomy, than 
vythar ſharp and fearful medicin, and con-

ſequentially ruinous to the conſtitution, 
the gout? this is not to be call'd bene- 
ficial in a proper ſenſe: any otherwiſe 
than as a leſſer evil is more eligible than 
a greater, ' Bur of this queſtion again 
| hereafter, when we will ort to give 
it a fit reſolution. 
At preſent we take it for a fer; princi- 
ue e of le, that the cauſe of the gout is the a- 
1 or theſe animal ATTN work'd up 
with vegetable ones ariſing from t 
and fermentation, *Tis very apparent 
that ſcurvy and gout are near Ally'd. 
This we {ec abundantly from all authors, 
eſpecially Dr. Muſgrave: but the ſalts in 
the gout are much more volatiliz d, The 
out then is the legacy of lentiful livin 
= Tnactivity: — Taſrs are ſharp to 
Ercate a good appetite, which podagrics 
generally find; but zhat- creates a wrong 
balance between in-taking and expending. 
And we may very well with Dr. Cheyne de- 
fine the gout to be, an effort of nature 
to throw off this abundance of falts. 1 
add, ſhe underſtands chymical mixtures 
well; ſo ſhe throws em off into the oyl- 
| glands, becauſe nought but oyl can ſheath 
their pointed” particles. 
In order more plentifully to drain off 
theſe. ſalts, which muſt neceſſarily be con-

our meat and drink, Nature has well pro-

this was not enough, the whole skin is

If we examin W Wed nature's 
arts, in forming the bodys of animals, 
which are defign'd for motion and action, 
we may remark, one of them provides 
for the lipperyneſs of every part, where 
any motion is performed. This is in order 
to prevent grating, heat and friction. Thus 
the membranes that cover the inner cavity 
of the cheſt, and belly, which we ca

 incloſes the heart call'd pericardium, are 
altogether glandular; the one to favor the

as in a ſecure corner, not to be preſs d 
upon by the bones in action: yet ſo as to 
be gently touch'd and ſollicited to pour 
out their oleaginous contents, upon every 


action. Likewiſe upon every great tendon 


of a muſcle, there is a gland to moiſten 


it and keep it from breaking. Thus in 
that cavity for the head of the thigh- bone 
is a great gland, as big as a nur, the lar-

agreeable to the exigency of the whole and 
of each limb. This oyl and this mucilage 
he compares to the artifice of carters and 
coachmen, who make in imitation thereof 
a compoſition of greaſe and tar, with 


which they beſmear the inſide of the 
naves of wheels and the extremitys of the 


axis upon which they move. Without ghis 
rheir ſwift rotation and continued action 
would ſet them on fire, as well as wear 
them away. . 

This ſmooth compoſition is uſeful not 
only to the extremitys of the bones and 
cartilages upon their articulation, but to 
the ligaments likewiſe, the bandages that 
keep them together. It preſerves them 


from dryneſs and rigidity, plyable and 


conform to all the variety of neceſſary 
action. 3 | | 

The glands are ſmall and numerous up- 
on every membrane about a joint: like- 
wiſe upon ſome particular parts of a mem- 


brane, where 'tis convenient. And in the 


ſinus's of the bones in the joints, theſe 
glandules are ſo conglomerated, as to form 


remarkable glands, In ſome of the large 
joints there is only one and large as in the a- 


cetabulum of the thigh bone : in ſome, as in 
the knee, there are 4 or 5. the fabrick of 


them conſiſts in ſeveral membranes ſuper- 


ſtrated one over another, ſet thick with 


| ſmall round bladders, which not only lye 


COn- 


[58] 


contiguous, but tenaciouſly | adhere toge- 


ther; as the ſeveral membranes. likewiſe 


do. All theſe glands have excretory ducts 
into the joints. There are of theſe glands 
upon the firſt vertebra of the neck of the 
atlas, on which the head turns; on the 
articulations of the ribs to the ſpine. In 
the, ſhoulder joint there is a conſiderable 
onE, ſo in the cubit are ſeveral. So upon 
the radius and ulna, the wriſt upon the 
patella of the knee, and in ſhort upon 
every joint, cartilage, membrane and ten- 
don of the whole body. For which reaſon 
theſe very parts are all the ſeat of the 
gout. ; 5. 

I find that from time to time, mankind has 
made ſome approaches toward diſcovering 
both the nature of the diſeaſe and the cure. 
The happy completion of it was reſerv d to 
our times. Among the innumerable dreſſes, 
which they have put the humor of the gout 
into, we may obſerve all along, they make it 
of a very ſubtle, burning and deleterious na- 
ture. Tho' there are great variety of opi- 
nions concerning the origin of it, ſome 


attribute it to one of the 4 fancy'd humors 
predominating, phlegm, blood, bile, melan- 


choly ; ſome to a ſtraitneſs of the capillary 


veſſels at the extremitys, or to their rigi- 
dity ; ſome to the nerves and nervous fluid, 
ſome to indigeſtion, wind and the like; {till

Again, 3. The 2 only methods of cure, 
the moxa and our oyls, both confirm my 
poſition. *Tis not ta be doubred that the 
moxa has often cured the gout: but tis a 
tremendous remedy. It will not be eaſy 
to perſuade patients to bear the ſlow fire 


of a wooly plant burning upon their fleſh 


for a minute or two. Nor is the cure ſo 


infallible. But certain it is, that where 
burning whether actually or potentially, 


cures the gout; it cures it merely as a 


poyſon: the fire of the poyſon ſubmitting 


to the greater fire, as a hot iron cures the 


bite

ſerv'd that the little woaly cone or moxa 
which is to burn the part, muſt be ſer 
with great exactneſs upon the very point 
where the gouty drop lyes. For if you ſet 
it but an inch off that place, it produces 
no effect. This ſhows. tis by the fire, 
which kills this poyſon that the cure is 
zerform'd, rather than by any quantity of 
2 deriv'd from the burning. And 
this ſhows too, that the humor how e ſmall

ſame thing we infer from the Indian prac- 
tiſe of lighting the moxa with little aro- 
matick ſticks prepar'd for that purpoſe. 
'Theſe in burning, emit a very. grateful

the relief here proves the ſame thing, 
for tho' we are not able to ſtir our foot 
for ſeveral days without lifting ; upon 
letting out that envenom'd ſteam by the 
moxa, we can walk inſtantaneouſly; and 
the cure of the gout by our oyls pro- 
claims the ſame truth. Theſe oyls intro-

4. J argue the matter of the gout is a Th 

poyſon from that common appearance of of 

the skin coming off, after a long fitt of ws 

the gout. Nature has been ſtrugling for ha 
months to ' ſubdue this internal poyſon, dus 

by dint of time and patience, by affuſion che 

of blood and humors upon it, to quench bly 
this fiery venom, and at laſt, and with the 
her beft endeavors, tis but imperfect- 0 

ly and partially done. Tis quieted, not the 
extinguiſh'd. Like embers it lyes lurking, len 

i till additional ſtrength enables it to break pa 
out into another fitt. But that part of the 60 
humor which nature by long time and force T 
drives out thro' the skin, fo taints its e- « 
munctorys, as Virgil's harpys, ſo leaves its cc 
peſtiferous /ordes behind, that nature is 7

And this is a thing common in all poy- 
ſonous cafes, and ſurfeits, as the country- 
people call them. The whole skarf-skin 
comes off, wherever the venom has touch'd. 
But I obſerve when we arg. the cure 
of the gout by means of our oyls, taking 
it very early; the skin does not come off. 
The poyſon is extinguiſh'd. What little 
of ſubſtance there is in it, gives nature no 
trouble, ſhe probably carrys it away in 
that very turbid water which we make 
during the operation. And if we ſuppoſe 
the ſalts are not abſolutely and entirely 
blunted by the oyls, we may juſtly think 
they have but activity and pungency e- 
nough left, the better to conduct them to 
the urinary organs. And thus the excel- 
lent Sydenbam in the end of his terrible 
pathology of the gout ſays, a moſt in- 
ce tolerable itching in the foot affected, 
* comes upon the fitt retir'd; eſpecially

veneno. As we read his pathology of it, 
we cannot but ſee all along that the hu- 
mor is a poyſon which nature is curing 


as well as ſhe can, by plunging: it into 
the oyl glands; every plunging is the 
 paroxy/mulus which he mentions, many of 
which make a paroxy/mus. For as tis 
| Impoſſible in a great fitt that the oyl- 


glands of one joint ſhould be fufficient 
to extinguiſh that poyſon, ſhe is forc'd 
to divide the onſetts or fitts into little 
ones, to give time for the glands to re- 


cruit, and for the ſame purpoſe ſhe throws 


the humor alternately from one foot to 
another, and when thoſe two limbs are 
not ſufficient ſhe takes in more. 

sthly, The univerſal appearance of the 
gout, and what all authors write about it; 
that by continuance of time, it turns all 


the humours in the body to its own like- 


neſs, ſhows evidently 'tis a poyſon, and 


chat when we have long labor'd under it, 


the remnant of our unhappy life is but 
a continual ſtruggle of nature to drive off 
that poyſon from the firſt vital principle, 
and fight it as long as it is able. So a- 

ain that common obſervation in it, that 
the ſharper the fitt, the ſeverer the pain; 
by ſo much the ſhorter it is, and the ſoon- 


er we recover; ſhows likewiſe that 'tis a 


poyſon. As Sydenham obſerves, pain is 
nature 8 moſt bitter remedy in the caſe, 


which

it ſhortens the fitt, makes the intermiſſi-

cure a victory. Would we then How

prehended, of the gouty humor falling up- 
don the noble parts. The very warmth of 
the oyls attracts that humor to them, as 
well as deadens it when attracted; they are 
the proper pabulum. Juſt as any falt is 
ſtrongly attracted by the water which diſ- 
ſolves it. And nature determins it to 
them, for the ſame reaſon as ſhe ſends 
it to the oyl-glands. And this all experi- 
ence confirms. In the caſe of rheuma- 
riſms where they have been the moſt vio- 
lent and inflammatory that is poſſible, we 
have follow'd the pain with unction thro” 
every joint of the body from the neck to 
the toe ends. The conſequence is a moſt 
certain and ſpeedy cure, without any tranſ- 
lation of matter inwardly and upon no- 
ble parts, or any ill conſequences what- 
ever. And thus a fitt of this diſtemper 
which would otherwiſe have tortured the 
patient for 2 or 3 months or more, has 
been happily and gently ſolved in a fort- 
night. I forbear naming particular in- 
ſtances. The fact is notorious with us at 
Stamford: and the like in the Sciatica. 
I have ſeen inſtances where thro' extreme 
weakneſs of nature and furiouſneſs of the 
diſtemper, when the morbific matter dur- 
ing a long. fitt has reverted upon the no- 
ble parts and a hickup with the like vio- 
lent ſymptoms of evil prognoſtic has pre- 
vail'd: in this \deplorable circumſtance, 
| 8 upon 


[35] 
upon | a- plentiful application of the vyls, 
the patient has recovered in two days time 
in the moſt ſurprizing manner. There is 
little need to make long harangues and 
obſet vations upon this arid like caſes. 
They ſpeak for themſelves, And if you 


kill an enemy as faſt as he advances, it 


may be call d repelling him, but very im- 
roperly. Polpænus would not wiſh for a 
better ſtratagem: I am fure tis a ſafe ene, 

either in war or in the practiſe of phyſick.

ſwells exceedingly, or if you find it begins 

upon a new joint, be not diſcourag d; it

tates to us, that we are not to oppoſe —_—

the excellency as well as ſafety of our 
remedy. It is exterminating the morbifio

If inſenſible perſpiration would have 
done the feat, a cure would have been 
found out ages ago, from the 10000 warm 
adminiſtrations both internal and exter- 
nal, which have been found intirely uſe- 
leſs. And Sydenham ſays himſelf, imme- 
diately after the forecited paſſage, that a 
diaphorefis or ſweat has been altogether 
unprofitable, and ſo I have experienc'd 
a ry 
I have this to add, as a great confirma- 
tion of the | certainty . and ſafety of our 
cure; that whereas we find by experience, 
that even a gentle purge given towards the 
end of an Griff) Bft f the gout, is ſa 
far from being uſeful, as may be thought, 
in carrying off the dregs of the diſtemper; 


that it generally brings a new fitt not at 
all Filder than the firſt. Whereas after 
the uſe of the oyls, a gentle ' purge is very 


profitable and accelerates your recovery,

That in our cure the criſis is compleat, *

ague, before it has been ſhook with it 
for a full year, as that it would not be 
ſafe, to loſe the pain of the gout, be- 


fore ſo many weeks are over: and nature 


it ſelf has, as it were, in pity to the 


diſeas'd at laſt given them a convenient 


reſpite. The benefit of outward applica- 
tions when properly adminiſter'd, in a 
raging fitt of the gour, is as great as 
the freedom from pain in any other 


that part, 
Thus does our judicious author in the 


fulleſt manner, ſay all that can in ſtrongeſt 
terms eſtabliſh che practiſe, we are recom- 


mending to the ' publick :

appropriate cure of the gout, tho' he ſaw 
not what could anſwer all his intentions 
of cure; and could ſcarce hope that it 


would ever be accompliſh'd by one appli- 


cation only, and that ſo ſimple and eaſy. 
He ſaw too, that it muſt be by ſome 
what external. Even the learned Dr. Pit- 


cairn, in his diviſion of diſeaſes, reckons

of a fitt of the gout? How does he tas 
citly reprehend the preſent way of think 
ing in this diſtemper, of wiſhing joy upon 


the acceſs of a fitt: as if a long and moſt 


miſerable life was a bleſſing? As if it really 
gave a long life, or was a truly judicial 
and ſalutary criſis. When at beſt it muſt 


be call'd ſuch a goal- delivery only as con- 


ſigns the priſoner to the executioner. 
Senſeleſs muſt thoſe be that maintain the 
pain of the gout is uſeful, and by no 


means to be rebated. Tis a high abſur- 
dity, and no other than a cloak of igno- 
rance of the cure. The gout from the be- 


ginning has been dcſervedſy call'd the

diſcourage any attempts upon it. And even 
at this day, there are found ſome of little

Country, who are willing enough to op- 


| poſe Dr. Rogers's remedy, becauſe they were 


nerous and noble principle of philanthropy, 


not the inventors themſelves, when they 


cannot pretend to any cure of their own, 
or becauſe they envy mankind ſo great a

So much the more ought we to congra- 1

Cidental fitts which I call the contagion of we 
the gout,are certainly quell'd by one or two =. 
anointings which without it, would pro- aui 
| Jace regular fitts. And whenever we fig glo 
the veins turgid and the part begin to look ſtic 
red and hot, the ſigns of an approaching ane 
fitt, we are inſtantly to apply to the reme- for 
dy: which like pouring water upon fire the 
extinguiſnes it. No words can paint out Pon 
the pleaſure we feel, when we ſo eafily of 
eſcape. When we are reliev'd from it, in Gr 
as many weeks ſhall I ſay, rather in as Nec 
many days, as otherwiſe months; if left £101 
to the ordinary courſe of nature. When for 
we eſcape not only the cruelty of all the del

the tremendous evil. But in our method, 
the fibers are reſtor'd to their natural

ſo, in another ſenſe. We know that in the 
ſmall pox, there is a ſecondary fever, Wing 

to the maturation of the pas, and to the great 
quantity of it which enters the blood, by its 
long ſtay, and excites that fever. This is not 
all the inconvenience of it. Nature aſ- ' 
fimilates it into nutriment, and thereby lass "> rei 
the groundwork' of an ill conſtitution, , © F414 
which we often obferve after the ſmall 
pox. The like we may very rationally 
conceive, to be the caſe of a fitt of the 
gout; and we find by experience, that 
when we permit the cafe to nature; aftet 
we have drag'd on life © thro” the firſt 
ſtage of a month or two, and fancy we 
are on the mending hand; there comes 
a recrudeſcence, a ſecondary fitt, or what 
we call the echo of the gout. This runs 
thro' every part again, in the ſame ordet 
as at firſt, tho perhaps not with equal 
pain, becauſe its ſtrength Has been reba- 
ted by the preceding fitt. It is certainly 
owing to a re-entry of the humor into 
the blood. And tho' nature by long tract 
of time, ſo far overcomes the venom of 
the diſtemper, that by flow degrees we 
get abroad again: yet even then we have 
too much reaſon to affirm, the victory is 
but partial. So much of the dregs is re- 
turn d into the blood, by the tediouſneſo 
of the confinement, that it becomes a ſure 
hoftage and the leaven of another unwel-

five. to the animal oeconomy runs into 


the gout: we may by prudence ſo regu- 
late that habit, as to make it a ſalutary 
one. This prognoſtic is much confirm'd 
by what has been obſerv'd in the cure 
of the gout by the moxa. It frequently 


makes ſo true a ſolution of the criſis, that 
the patient is freed for ſeveral years af- 


ter. The diſtemper is either lett out, or 
its texture deſtroy'd. Thus Sir. 7 
Dyrubit of Lincolnſbire, a worthy patriot, 
.who is moſt #4 0 ieyouſly: afflicted :with the 

gout, burnt it once with moxa, and it 


return'd not for 7 years after. And ſuch 


moſt probably will often be the effect of 
uſing out oyls, for the ſame reaſon. Some 
that have open'd a vein npon the part, 
or made an inciſion into it, have cur'd 
it at preſent, and it has not return'd of 
ſome years after. This eyidently proves, 
that the common fitts of the gout are 
not perfectly critical: but that When the 
Matter of a fitt is wholly lett out or de- 


ſtroy'd, nature takes a conſiderable time 


(eſpecially in people of temperate lives) 
to create enough de novo for the ſucceed- 
ing fitt. I apprehend good uſe. may be 
made of theſe kind of hints, and that 
future experience will produce many ad- 
vantages from our ſpecific, which we can-

during a fitt, if Dr. Havers's judgment be 
juft, of giving mucilaginous andoyly. pec- 
torals uſe fully in a rheumatiſm, it muſt 
doubtleſs be good now. His intention in 
it, is to impreſs a balſamic character upon 
the blood, to ſupply nature with that mu- 
cilaginous oyly juice which is proper to ex- 
tinguiſh the fiery ſalts that cauſe the diſ- 
temper. Therefore milk, flummery, creams 
of barley, rice and the like, muſt be very 
appropriate to this intention. Nor need 
we be afraid of a little mild, ſoft ale. 
The preſence of a Phyſician is uſeful in 
a ſevere fitt. The victory tho' with this 
powerful remedy is a matter of care. The 
3 then has no ſtomach for ſome few 
days, and is feveriſh; he muſt have ſome 
cordial to ſupport his ſpirits. And if the 
pain be violent, ſome opiate muſt be ad- 
miniſtred at night when going to bed. 
This will ſoon be render'd unneceſſary; 
bur they that refuſe the uſe of poppy juice 
in pain, reject one of the greateſt gifts of 
Providence; that divine relief from pain, 
which gives ſtrength as well as eaſe, 
which promotes a gentle perſpiration, which 
is as appropriate, and. as abſolutely neceſſa- 
ry then, as food to the hungry, drink to

The great indication for a regimen dur- 
ing the intermiſſion of firts, is to prevent, 
as much as may be, the growth of theſe 
rich, ſulphureous and inflammatory falts, 
in our blood, Firft, Temperance above all 
things is neceſſary, and with that, there is 


little need of diſtinction in our meats and 


drinks, where the veſſels are not o erloaded, 
but the fibres vigorous. Where they vi- 


brate orderly, the wheels of life go right. | 


Nature nds all fhe takes and k 
open all the ſalutary outletts. A ſtarvin 

regimen in a gouty conſtitution is prejudi- 
cial: becauſę * Wants fat and _ for 
a remedy. It leflens the quantity of falts 
indeed, but weakens nature in expelling

tracts the oyly cure. So that in all things 
temperance is heft, A good ſtomach 
which is a bleiſing, and podagrics gene-

95, he ſays many daintys create man 1 dif- 
eaſes; I add more eſpecially the gout, 
which is equivalent to many. Have a 
care of intemperance immediately after re- 


covery from a fitt, when Areteus obſerves 


people are apt to live faſt; like thoſe eſ- 
cap'd ab inferis: they are for repairing the 
loſt time and conſtitution too, but erro- 


neouſly. "Temperance muſt be inculcated 
at all rimes, for tho' we _ in every 


fitt, yet the fewer battles, the better for 
our natural ſtrength. A habit is always 


growing better or worſe. Better it will 
be it we cure the gout without oyls. Nor- 


phyry in vita Plotini tells us of Rogattanus 
a Roman Senator. He was cripled with 
the diſtemper, and was carryed in a chair 
daily, to hear Plotinus, the Platonic phi- 
loſopher. Becoming his diſciple: he grew 
exceedingly abſtemious, and loſt his gout. 
Let not the doctrines of Chriſtianity be 
leſs influential on our lives than the hope- 
leſs Lectures of Plotinus. Take Hippocra- 
tes his authority, II de predif, that the 
gout is not to be cured without tempe- 
rance. Oribaſius ſays, if people be ſlaves 
to their apperites, we ought not to undertake 


their cure. I doubt not but if we be fo 


complaiſant to the ordinances of our 
Church, as now and then to keep a faſt 
day, we ſhall find our preſent account in

and feaſtings muſt be laid aſide. At leaſt 
uſed at rare intervals, with great caution 


and as in a medicinal way, as a counter- 


poize to faſting. That conſtitution is beſt 


which will bear extremes. Temperance is 


the great ſauce to all other human felici- 
tys. This only ſatiates but never cloys. 
This is a pleaſure that refines the mind, 
invigorates the body, preſerves the eſtate, 
renders us ſuperior to fortune, out of the 
reach of adverſity. This is a vertue which 
is its own | reward; the parent of regular 
ons, of ſweet contentment, of health- 


ful progeny, of happy youth, of vigorous 


old age and long life. If exceſs in our 
thoughtleſs, juvenile days, or a habit of it 
in more advanced age, has been the occa- 
fion of the diſtemper, let us amend of it. 
But eſpecially let not this noble remedy be 
the occaſion of our continuing therein, 
leſt a worſe evil come upon us, than the 
gout. Tis a vaſt, invaluable happyneſs, 
with the moderate uſe of the. good things 
of life, ro be cur'd of this diſtemper, 


when it comes. But if we preſume too 
much upon it, we are unworthy of the 


remedy, and will probably find other in-
