As INOCULATION is & very interefting Affair, and if - [prudently managed,'may probahly become univerjal in A- nierica, it baving been much more: 4fed of late than evér, ¢fpecially in the Seuthern Provincee 5 the [ollowing di- recions it is baped will greatly pramote o ufiful a prac- dice, and are p.crtii'ularl;-adapnd to the cafes and tircum flances of fuch, who bave e Praltitioner near them ; “which direBions, if well fatlowed, will prepare them [0 as ts bave a miuch greatér chance of baving it ‘milder in the “ natdral toay 5 which 'tis biped, will be & [ufficicnt apole- 2y for puiting “a matter of Jo great importance in this ¢hannel of conveyance, as being the miff | (ngér 29 render it ef generalafy ; for which reajon; onr Readers dre advifed "ot to thfoww afide this News Paper, whin they've readit, but keep it as a litele piece, of great valuz, that may tven e theé means, by the blifing of God, of prejerving 'their “thildrens children. : ; : g HE Siall Pcx, being a Difeafe (o univer- fally infe&tious, and fo often fatal to man- kifid, has in cvery age, not only engaged thie attention of the ableft Phyficians, but : induced many of them to favourthe woild with differtations on it ; wherein they have given thofe methods of pratice which they found mcft fuccefstu! 5 dnd thereby have rendered the treatment of that difeale, when taken in the natural way, perhaps, as certain s ever we may exped it will be, allowing for difference of climate, and other Circumftatices, which réquire the judgment of a Phyfician, : But of all the improvem#nts, none have been found equal to that of I[noculation, Whercby the chance in that difeale has been found to be, under the new method of tréating it, as one in feven hundred, and, in fom? inftances, &8 ofic ina thoufand; whereas in the nataral way, oiie- in four or feven have ufually died ; and when there his been but one in ¢leven, it has been thought uncommonly favourable, as appears by the different cal - culations made in Bofton and other places in Ametica, and in the Small Pox hofpitals in London. ithin thefe two or three years paft, more have been inoculated in the neighbouring Provinces, than is fup- poied to have been frova, %fiffihflle’mem ofthem, and with #mazing f{uccefs, conlidering ths malignity of it in the natural way. And s the preparations of Mercury snd Antimony ‘dre the principle medicines u'sd, to prepare, not only before, bu:-between the inoculation and eruption : in ‘grder thereby to counterst the variolous venom in the beginning of its operation on the blood, and thus [esfo- ‘nably prevent thole direful effelts it produces, which ‘Often. terminate in death. “What thofe medicines are, wherewith patients may be beft prepared, and the manner of adminiftring them ‘take the two following methéds ;— _ The firft of which direéts :— ~—The night before you inoculate, give a few grains of Calomel well levigated, with a like quantity of Dizpho- reftic Antiniony unwafh’d, proportioning the quantity ‘of Calomel to the conftitution of our patients from 4 grains to 10 for 2 grown perfon, and from 1 to 3 for a child, to be made up into a bolus or {mall pill, with a’ little confcrve of roles, or any common fyrup; the next morning give a purge of the Pulvis Cornachini ; made wich equal parts of Diuploratic Aatimony, Scammony, and Cream of Tartar; repeat the bolus or pill 3 times, that is, once every other night after inoculation, and on the 5th day give a dole of Borchave’s golden Sulpher of Lintintody 3 about 4 grains of it with two or three grains of Calomel, made into a (mall Pi'fl, will operate both as . s vomitand purge atthe (ame time. —— ln the interme- ‘diste days givé 2 or 3 pipers of of the following pow- "~ der. viz.' Digphoratic Aatimony 1o graias, Salt Prunel 6 grains, and Calomel 1 grain, mixt together, for a grown parfon, and about & quarter part of a pzp:r fora child, Thefe powders are to”be continued unzil the Variolous or Small Pox fever is over, and while the fe- ver is high, let your patieat drink a cup of whey 2 or 3-times a day. The whey tobe made with Cream of *I'artar, inftead of runnet ; and thofe that are of & full habit, fhould be blooded once ar twice within the firft cight days, and muft abftain from all (pirituous liquors, as well as from meats of all kinds, broth, fali and butter. The' fecond method is thus :— ‘Take of Calomel, finely levigated, two parts = Sul- phur Aarat, Aatimonii, one part; and with a ftrong folutdon of Gam Arabic, or Tragacanth, mike intoa mafs of pilly'; which, for diftin&tion fake, is called the Mercurial or Antimonial pill: Tsake of Stib, Nitrat, or unwafhed dirphoretic Anti- " mony, Cremor, Tartar, Sal Poly Chreft, and Flour of Sulpher, of each equal parts ; mix and maike a refrige- - xant powder, of which 30 or 40 grainsis a dofe foran adult. ‘ Take the Powder of Jalap, Scammony, Stib, Nirrat, and Cremor Tartar, of cach cqual parts, mix and make a purging powder, %A oy . - R s L I The dsy before inoculatibs, give two ferap'es of the purging pow:der, with five ;{raim of meretrions duicis, to adults, and to cthess a proportion to theit age. The night after inoculation, give &dofe of the meréuial pill (which‘is & grain:, or twelve, if robift, to an aduls, diminifhing sccordin to thie dge, fo 157 o give to one from nine totwelve monthis, Two-graiiis ) #nd repeat it threc nights fuccelfively,” " 'nemorming after the third pill, give a fecond purge ; atizr which repeat the pills two or three nights, and then thie purge agsin. ‘The pill frequenily purges and vomi.s the fislk time of teking it. Every Morning, including ¢he day.of inoculation, give a dofe of the re!rig%@ek excepi the day the purges are admisiftred S tfifi‘éflflfll {1l “the ‘eruption. Sometimes n univerfal afl appears with the fever, and alarms thofe concerned very much: but it rather portends good than il!, and need not be regarded, un- Jels attended with other kaown bad fymptoms, and then Venelcétion is proper even to children. ; In both thefe methods blecding is good for thofe that dre of a full habit of body, within the firft cight days, viz, on or about the day of Inoculation, and the day you expet them to be feized with the fever, which is generally the eighth or ninth; and z2lfo in ordering to abilain ‘entirely from animal food, end all kinds of oil or greafly fubftances, falt, fpice, er fpirituous liquors, great fatigue or violent exercife, togeiher with all in- tenfe thicking, and application to preplexing bufinefs. But vegitables and acids may be ufed plenti‘u’ly. They ‘thould not be clofely co: fined, excep: when the air is cold or moift ; snd when the variclouns fever comes on, they fhould be kep. rather cool than hot. Let their drinks be cooling acefeent and lsxadve, cfpecially Tartan Whey. If their mou hs and throats fhould be fore, give them & tea {poon full of fuur of brimftone, inftead of the refrigerant powder, for two or three thines. As foon as they begin to complain, they ficuld bathe their feet in warm, water, for ten or twelve miinutes, morhing and evening ( till the ervpiion is .compledt ) and if the head is mich effe@ied bleed them in the arm or foot,apply emolitent pouldccs of bread and milk, and a little il or hog’s laid tothe feet. - 1f they fthould be coftive i the eruptive fever, ef- pecislly if very deliricus, or have fizs, give an opening clyfter once or twice aday, tiil thofe fymptons are re- moved., 3 During the erop ive fever they my lie in bed (if they choole it ) or it may be beit ouly o lic on thebed, and lightly cloathed,drinking plentifully of Barley Water, Ssge and Balm T'ea, or Toait 2nd Water, with Tam- arinds; and when fi ling, let them ufe Milk and Water, Pineda, Sago, G:uel Puddings, Greensand Roots. It they are a litle coftive while the pockis filling, it is no great matter, and may generally be prevented by drink- ing warm Small Beer, e2'ing « roalled Apple, or a few Tamarinds now and then-; but if very coftive at the turn of the pock, an opening Clyfter of water gracl or milk, with 4 {poonful or two of molafl:s and oil i it, will be proper every day or two As foon asthe ‘pocksare dry they fhou'd be purged three or four times, at two or three days diftsnce with the {ame purges as at firft. Breeding Women fhould, on no confideration, be in oculated, unléls we can fappofe an ablclue certainty of their ca:chiag it in the common way. I might attempt to cffer fome reafons in favour of (his facthod ; by fhowing how or why thole medicines given in this way dre preferable to any other Leictofore publithed ; but I think the extraordinary fuccefs with which it has beenl dttended, is more intelligible & more fatisfa@ory, to thofe for whafe bencfi® and entourage- ment this publication is intended # however it may not be amifs to mention one ob%rvation upon it;which is the time of giviag the medicines, [o as that ihey may cxXert their force upon the Blood and humours, juftat the very time when the difcale takes plice, and by that means divert, weeken, end deftroy its power, nd at the fame time by their e@'vity, sfilt na‘are tothrow ¢ f che mor kific or packy maiter, with motecale thid’ the'common out'ets of the fkin, &c. 3 Upon the whele, as the chance isfo very great in favour of this pra&tice of Inoculation, it is fuflicient one would think, to inducz any perfon tolay hold of the advantage, and thankfully ufc a difcovery GOD in lis mercy has been p'eafed to ble(s mankind with: whereby fome check may now be pui to the ravages that cruel difeafe has been accuftorned to make, apd the human fpecies be again {uffered to increale as it did before thie Small Pox mace its appéarance in the world. 358 555 052 43 B0 88 B IER O 1 S KT BHEREH S 0 Ha:ue, Now. 4..
