Observation XXV.
Henry Lloyd, having been troubled
with this distemper so long, that for
a fortnight he came not out of his
Hammock, but as he was carried in
mens arms, and was so weak that he
could not turn himself, had this Cly∣ster
in the afternoon.

descriptionPage 85
He could not keep it above half
an hour, and when he voided it, it
brought along with it a great deal of
slimy stuff; and in the evening he
took the medicin, as I used to pre∣scribe
it; he drunk for three or four
days after the Decoctum album, and
recovered without any relapse. After
he had been ten days free from his
flux, and began to crawl about again,
he was sent ashoar to recover strength,
which he did in a very short time,
blessed be God.
