Note 68 — Chapter XVIII
J. (James) Kirkpatrick translation
It happens very seldom that intermitting Fevers require 69 no Purge towards their Cure, especially in Places, which are disposed to generate Putridity. There is always some material Cause essential to these Fevers, of which Nature disembarrasses herself more easily by Stools, than by any other Discharge: And as there is not the least Danger to be apprehended from a gentle Purge, such at those of Nº. 11 or 23, we think it would be prudent always to premise a Dose or two of either to the Bark.
