Treatment of the Small Pox.
BIZ DR.. Moses YoungIore.

BIZ DR.. Moses YonngtoUe.
Persons having been exposed to the small
pox, and putting themselves on preparation
for that disorder, should be treated like those
that are inocuated.
Very few inoculated persons, who arc in
tolerable health, need any medical prepare
ton. But when such necessity occurs, the
medical means should be applied as early as
possible in the preparatory course.
The course of diet ought to be good milk
chocolate, tea, coffee, and the like, with other
bland and nutritious food, sufficient to preserve
their strength nearly entire. They should a.
void the use of cider, wine, spirits, pepper,
and all such heating substances, and sailed
mcats-eat but little meat of any kind, and be
moderate in the use of butter. They should
avoid all extremes of heat, cold, and wet,
and keep themselves little cooler than at
other times.
During the symptomatic complaints, patience
and fortitude are, in almost every case,
the only proper Notwithstanding the fire,
and all unnecessary heat, and all violent ex-
eIcise.
A: this stage, the stomach, as we'll as other
parts, will frequently be d'sagreeably affected,
but must not, by any means, be treated as in
similar distresses of that organ, in other COM
mon disorders. On the contrary, experience
and observation will confirm It as an axiom,
that there is no analogy between them.-
Medicines Of emetic, cahartic, or laxative
tendency are then no more safe or curative,
than they would be in the case OF a person,
otherwise we'll, agonizing under tortures OF the
stomach from prctracted famine: for the only
relief of these Syn,tomdtic diStresses is BY crap
tom in ats due time, the alarming delay Of
which is, under proper treatment, very rare.
But when it occurs, whether in the natural or
noculated disorder, relief must be attempted
by keeping the patient as warm as in other
sicknesses would be proper, and keeping the
apartment well ventilated. Good new milk
is, in this case, his best Diet if it can be relish
ed, as commonly it can; but lit cannot, then
warm milk-gruel, or warm chocolate, with
the addition of something Of the bread kind,)
is far better kind of diet, than any soups,
broths, or other cookery, made of butchers
meat, fowl, or fish. If some such nutriment
cannot be borne by the stomach, then -four Of
sulphur, given in the proportion OF a small tea
spoonful, to an adult, is the most etiectual
promoter Of eruption, and consequent relief.
This, in some extraordinary cases, must be re-
peatedly given at intervals of several hours !;
and should the incai'tcity of the stomach, in
any considerable degree, yet remain, let the
milk he given in the way of mlik-toddy, and
when the eruption is sufficiently excited aud
apparent, the simple new milk will rarely be
refused, after which the aspect Of The peck
uH be a sure index Of The state of the Stona-
ach.
But the utmost Judgment and caution are
necessary not TO force an eruption too soon,

SINGULAR STORY

A young nun, in France, who had
Deen some time enamored of CAV Cav.
aIIer, resolved on scaling the walls Of
me convent, to be united TO her admir-
er' Love is violent, even in the breast
OF one who wears veil, and the Young
lady contrive1 most ingenious scheme
to accomplish her wishes. She ac-
qoalnted the cavalier, by means of a
communication through the grating, that
she had resolved upon breaking her
ponds o. and enjoying liberty with him.
~ supposed that the t'resnlntin., -.
there appeared so many difficulties
'hrown 10 the way. But what will not
love effect She pointed ont spot
through her letters, where she would
meet the cavalier, on a certain night, d.
recting him to have swift horses in at
tendance, and leave all the rest TO her
care She acquainted him that she
would execute her plan, and no one
would ever know that she had reln-
pushed religious life. II appeared to
him mystery how she could bring this
about, and he was anxious to knrV the
scheme she had in agitation; but of this
she declared he must remain ignorant
until II was completed. One of her
companions having died about that time,
and having just been inferred, she boldly
entered the tomb where the body was
placed, and conveyedit TO her own cell,
where she placed it upon her couch,
having first put upon it some of. her
clolhug. She then set fire to the dra-
perry of the room, and by means of a
rope-ladder escaped from the convent,
and joined her lover at The appoint
ed place, The fire soon charmed
those who were in the convent, and
the cell was presently crowded with
the sisterhood, who Contrived 10 put
ont the fire, but not before it had so
dis6gured the dead body, that no one
suspected it TO he any other than that of
the nun who had contrived to escape.
They mourned her unhappy fate, sup
posing that she had died by the fire, ara
prayers were offered up for her souls
repose. This ingenious but dangerous
scheme succeeded, and her honor was
unsulied. The cavalier engaged him
self as merchant, and acquired consd-
cradle property, having previously mar
ried his intrepid admirer. They had
several chiIdren'who must have inherit
ed considerable property, had not their
mothers scruples of conscience inter-
fered. She, having lost her husband,
became so afflicted that she retired into
a convent, and confessed the scheme by
which she had effected her escape from
| the nunnerY.

A droll adventure occurred last week
at the Edinburgh olce-ofice. A blood
Keeling home tipsy. wanted to look at
his watch by the light of the lamp, but
the chain by some means having drop
ped down the fob, he concluded that he
had been robbed, and staggered to the
police-o6ice. where, with some difficult
ty, he contrived 10 make the officer on
duty understand the nature cf his loss,
and the name of the matchmaker from
whom he had bought the taller. The
officer got description of the watch
from the maker, and sent it round 10 all
the silversmiths and pawn brokers, with
the usual caution of stopping the bear
er, &c. &c. The next day, when the
bacchanalian was sober, he found his
los. property in the proper place and
forgetting the adventure of the proceed
ing night, and finding want of cash at
the same time, he actually took the
watch TO pawn-broker, TO raise the
wind upon il himself. The pawn-broker
at once saw il was the identical watch
described in the bill, and took the un-
fortunate druDkard in custody to the
police-ofiice, whence he would have
been sent TO prison as a thief, if, luckily,
the officer Oh duty the preceding night,
had not come 10 and recognized him.
