108 ALTERATIONS &c.

To be added to the introduction, page xxii.

Before I quit my introduction, I wish to lay downtwo general rules in taking medicine.

1. If the patient has ever received special relieffrom any one medicine, try that again in almost anycomplaint, for that person.

2. Never trust to one medicine alone, where thecomplaint is severe or obstinate; but give the first aidby the next best that you can get.—Two men withhandspikes, may roll a log that one cannot.

Page 69, line 13, add—New-born infants, strangledin the birth, may frequently be restored to life by thelike process.

Page 77, at the end of No. 61—Note, if it be true thatcancers and wens are occasioned by the residence of afamily of worms, we may be pretty sure of the successof this preparation, if duly applied. A tincture madeof No. 19, and applied as above, would likely succeed.If there be a running sore, dress it with the bark of thecommon Ked-root made into a powder, and cover as faras you have annointed round, with some kind of plasterto keep out the air, and dress twice a day.

Page 90, at the end of article 3, 21st line from thetop, add the following: Give No. 2 every other day aslong as the fever continues. If the distress is great,give it in the fever. I have found the distress abateimmediately.
