INquietudo, Restlesness, or unquietness, is a frequent various shaking to and fro of the whole body, and the several members thereof,
arising from matter molesting and disquieting those parts that are capable of suffering.
Periculosa est inquietudo, quae ortum habet à malignitate & acrimoniâ materiae febrem excitan∣tis; or from an internal Inflammation, or weak∣ness of the natural strength and powers of the body, which is soon overcome by the malady.
A certain Gentleman, being exceeding restless, in a malignant Fever, having a loosness, was cu∣red by the following prescription: ℞ Laudani opi∣at, gr. iii. Lapidis bezoardici orientalis, gr. ii. f pil. I gave it him in a little conserve of red Roses. It procured rest, stayed the Flux, and removed the saintness; insomuch that within a very few days he was able to come to my house: An infinite company of people were cured, the last year, of Malignant distempers, chiefly by the use of that Pill.
