IV. Alexander the Great being in Cilicia was seized with a violent disease, so that when all other Physicians despaired of his Health, Philip the Acarnanian brought him a Potion, and told him, if he hoped to live he must take that. Alexander had newly received Letters from Parmenio, one of his Generals, wherein he advised him to repose no trust in Philip, for he was bribed by Dari∣us to destroy him, with a mighty summ of Gold; Alex∣ander held the Letters in one hand, and took the Potion in the other, and having drank it off, he shewed Phi∣lip the contents of them, who though incensed at the slander cast upon him, yet advised Alexander to confide in his Art, and indeed he recovered him. Plutarch's Lives. p. 675.
