<HEAD>A general Rule to be ob&s;erved in this Medicine in all Di&s;ea&s;es.</HEAD>
<P>Now the Almighty <HI>God</HI> grant a ble&s;&s;ing to what hath been &s;aid, I conclude with this admoni&s;h|ment, that great <HI>temperance</HI> be u&s;ed, e&s;pecially in all <HI>acute</HI> Di&s;ea&s;es, and in all <HI>Chronick</HI> and old di&s;tempers, let the Do&s;e be daily increa&s;ed for 3 days and then de&s;cend gradually for 3 days again to their fir&s;t Do&s;e, this caution being ob&s;erved, that about an hour after dinner let their Do&s;e be doubled, and a gentle convenient <HI>Purgation</HI> each week admini&s;tred to keep the Body open; the <HI>Pa|tient</HI> may move any where, keeping his Body no otherways than accu&s;tomed, for it works not as other Phy&s;ick, forcing nature many times to an extream, but by gradual and gentle acce&s;&s;ions, operating in our Body, as the <HI>Sun</HI> on <HI>Fire,</HI> extin|gui&s;hing and extirpating without noi&s;e, all tho&s;e mi&s;eries, which a <HI>debauch</HI> or <HI>corrupt</HI> habite hath impo&s;ed upon poor Nature. The <HI>Do&s;e</HI> is from 5 to 25 drops or more, according to the contumacy of the Di&s;ea&s;e and con&s;titution of the <HI>Sick,</HI> which mu&s;t be continued and taken 3 or 4 times dayly in all di&s;tempers, and in <HI>Acute</HI> Di&s;ea&s;es oftner.</P>
