Hearing that there were some per∣sons troubl'd with a looseness, on board the Sandwich, Commanded by Captain Mees; I went on board for that purpose on the 23d of July, and saw Robert Alvin, Edward Huggin, Charles Child, Thomas Starre, and Robert Craig, who were very much weaken'd by most troublesom loose∣nesses that had kept them for three
months, in spight of all that the Phy∣sitians, or any body else could give them.
On the 24th they were all purg'd with the powder of Rhubarb and Cinnamon, which had all the success imaginable, and in the evening go∣ing to bed they took the bolus, which put an end to their troublesom disease, without any inconvenience whatsoe∣ver.
