![C ] We have fo many among us, who have been vihted with the blague in other Coun¬ tries many Years ago, and who have never been arrefted with the Small ‘Pox after it, tho’ they have been cxpofed as much as any other People to it 5 that it now begins to obtain a Belief with us, that they who have had the Plague, will never have the Small Pox af¬ ter it. I will add but oneThing more. For Suc¬ cour under the Small Pox, where Life is in Danger, after all the Methods and Medicines, that our Sydenham and others rely upon; I can allure you, we have yet found nothing fo fure as this 5 Procure for the Patient,as early as may be, by Epifpajliks a plentiful Difcharge at the Hand-writs, or Ancles, or both, (I fay as early as my be) and keep them running till the Danger is over. When the Venom of the Small Pox, makes an evident or vio¬ lent Invafion on the Nobler Parts this Dif¬ charge does wonderfully. I am forry it was fo late before we fell into this Way; but it has conftantly proffer’d: I know not that it has once miftarried, fine? we came into it. March 10.. i/ai-zz.
