By which you may fee what mifehief fuch a wretched Repelling Powder may do in a large Eryfipilas on the Face ; efpecially if befides it is negligently treat¬ ed • for this Chirurgeon hardly came near her in two Days time- I knew one alfo that in this Cafe feldom did any thing, but only tye up fome of that Powder in a Rag and dufted it upon the Face, as Nurfes do when their Children are Raw or Galled betwixt the Legs; but what this could effed in an Erifipilas, may be eafily guefièd. 1 rnrnoos^ f!r ■ ■ i y! no. ?.a n C H A P.
