ANNOTATIONS.

SAys Celsus, Oft times those whom Rea∣son will not recover, Rashness helps. This is apparent by the Example of that young Man, whose Rashness, had any other weaker Persons followed, they had perhaps cured their Dysentery by the Flux of their Soul. For Tobacco that way taken, is a most vehement disturbing Medicament, against the Vi∣olence of which, there is no resistance. And therefore I would not advise all People to use this Experiment. If the rash taking of such a violent Medicine succeed well with some young Persons that are of a robust Constitution, the same Success is not to be expected in all People. Nevertheless, that this Tobac∣co thus taken by a very strong Man, should heal his Dysentery, is no way re∣pugnant to Reason; for by its extraor∣dinary Violence, it evacuated altoge∣ther the whole Cause of the Distemper. I heard also, that two other country Boors, being troubled with a Dysentery, made tryal of the same Experiment.
