Remedy fir Csnfu/npthns and /jPhmcs.
even in their very laft si ml wortt ftagr-s, and afrrr all
other prelcriptions and aid of Faculty have failed
of giving relief.
A Diftenting MiniOer, now an old man, when a
bout twenty four years of ape, was reduced to the
very lart extremity in a C,wj}>rn/'ic;/, war, given up
by tlie Faculty, and his frieuds had all taken thJr
iciIt leave of him.
A relation, who had been long abfent, as furgenn
of a fhip, returned juff at this time, went ro fee
him, and advil'ed his fmb king tobacco, according to
his prtfcrifiitM which was, not to fid: at all, nut as': be
falwa began to form in his mouth, to ('wallow and
keep it down ; and rc expectorate nmljirg but
phelrn, and be would engage for his recovery : he
accordingly foon found ;be benefit of this way of
fmoaking, and recovered his health rabidly and
compleatly.
A fellow ftudent of the laft gentleman, when a
bou: thirty years old, was given up by .,11 his friends
and the faculty, and dying in an /.jibrna, recollec
ting the above cafe, and knowing that be could live
but a few days longer, he determined to try the ef
fect of ffreaking without /fitting, and accordingly
found it equally efficacious and beneficial to bis
afthma, as it had been for his friend’s confumption ;
he foon recovered, arid now ur the age of ieventy
odd, preaches with a clear, ltrong voice, and is
perfectly healthy and well, though he’.mokes many
pipes a day. Indeed what is very lingular in this
cale, is, that if he omits fmoaking for rwentv four
hours, his afthma comes on ‘ fo violently, that to
ule his own expreffion—“ He hifses like an adder."
That thefe facts may induce further experiments,
and prove of public ule, is the lincert with of
OTIOSUS.
