Excerpt from Febrifugum Magnum, or Common Water the Best Cure for Fevers, and Probably for the Plaque As to the Quantity, I find half a Pint will generally ferve to {weat a grown Child. A Pint, a Man, or Woman, tho' if they take a Quart, I believe it not the worl'e, but rather better.' In Fevers with Eruptions, as the' Scarlet Fever, Small Pox, Meafles, the Wa ter will not make' the Patient fweat, but will fo quell, and keep under the Fever, that the Emptions will'more eafily and kindly come' out. I do nor reckon the Plague among thofe Fevers, that are always attended with Burp. Tions (but as molt Phylicians do) among the malignant Fevers, only ih' an higher Degree. And therefore (tho' I never had Opportunity to try) I' verily believe cold Water will caule' a Sweat (if given'at the beginning) in that,1 as I know it will in Other malignant Fevers.
