The apothecary was applied to; who gave it rhubarb, once or twice ; but the conftipation of the belly continued notwithftanding that affiftance^ and upon the change of the moon the child fell into an epileptic fit. Upon this I was confulted, and advifed fome blood to be taken away, by the lancet or leeches, a fontanel to be opened in the neck, and the belly to be kept open by rhubarb, or clyfters, with the following folution of the gums; ]R: Affafcetid, J/.
