/ QTANDING the other Jay in an Apotbeca
-3 ries (hop in this city, I was led to take notice
of a fenfihle countrymen who name in and enquired
for Carolina pink-root. While the apothecary was
weighing the medicine, he related that the (hilling s
worth hehad before purchased, had brought away
more than thirty worms, but at the fame time men
tioned the extreme degree of danger the child had
been in, from a high fever it had been seized with ;
during which time, he said, they dared not to ap
ply the pink-roo*, but the child having since had a
considerable purging, and the fever being much
abated, they wanted more of the pink-root to bring
more worms away. On a little further enquiry he
informed me, thatthe child was now so weak in
the bowels, that its food came away unchanged.
I could not avoid advising in this case, where one
would fay I had no bufinels to interfere ; but had
the good fortune to find the man fenfiblc of the jus
tice of my observations and reiolved to avail himfelf
^fthem. _
From this example ofthe country peoples difficul
ty in fuc)) dittreffing cases as these bad worm fevers,
I am induced to throw out the few following hikts
for theirbetfet direction in wormy disorders. And
in the firft place I will inform them that a weakness
and sliminess of the ftonach and bowels, with a want
of drength in the gall, or too Sparing derivation of
that natural soap, that nece&y daily ph) tic into the
intertines (i. e. the whole tract of the guts below
the llomach) are the causes of a heaping up of dime
and indigeded matter in the firft pafl'ages, where the
eggs of these dangerous infests find a proper nell to
bring them to maturity. Now were the a&ion of
the stomach and bowels strong enough to require
and difpente,lod of a quality capable to carry off
this slime or mucus, before it offends through quan
tity, or becomes inclined to putrefaction by its too
long retention in a moderate heat, neither worms
nor worm fevers would ever trouble our children.
&dt that not being the case, it becomes necessary to
'inform thole good people.^o cannot readily have
<the advice of a fk:llful phyfl&an, that in the firft Ra
ges of wormy disorders, bitter and saline purges are
lot great importance to their children. I would by
no meansdiferedit the pink-root as a bitter, and
con feqently an enemy to worms ; but my principal
expectation, is from remedies which, will not only
render th? present inhabitants uneasy in their resi
dence, but will thus break away and carry it off,
that they nor their fneceffors can longer maintain a
lodging in so important a part of the human body.
By this means worms are expelled, and those filthy
2nd dangerous maladies called worm fevers are en
tirely prevented, the usual supply of found and he^l
th^nourifhment is carried to the blood vessels, and
by them derived to every part of the system.
Pink-root is not found in the northern Colonies,
and if it we e, not being purgative in final! quan
tity, 1 have conceived the public would not be dlf
obliged with the information, that the root of In
dian hemp * dug fro*the firft of October till hin
dered by the frolt, dried, and omitting the inner
woody part, powdered fine and m xed in molasses
to the quantity of a large tea spoon full, more or
lets according to the fcrcumftance of the patient,
will ofichd the worms as much, if not more than
any bitter whatever: And (what this simple is
much to be valued for) it will in proper quantity
purge miteratcly and effectually.
No child nor other perlon having the symptoms
of worms, cold stomach and sluggish bowels, should
be denied a moderate use of fait, finoaked fl th or
shh, these things being all correctors of an acid fli
nty disposition of the firft paffiges, and many by
breaking ovei the wrong-headed rules of empirics,
who had prohibited them, having marvellously re
covered health, while their obsequious followers
dwindled to mere skeletons.
The learned Doctor Rush has done justice to sugar
in thisiegard ; andinttead of the abundant censures
bestowed on what has commonly been called trajb,
good ripe summer and fall fruits are now generally
acknowledged to be as profitable as they are plea
sant to mankind.
I am the affii&ed's sympathetic friend,
and assiduous humble servant,
