lilies in Massachusetts, and in some of The
river counties of this State, and in Phila.
delphia, as illustrating how imperfecly
its treatmen, is understood, no,wi.hs,and-
lug The experience tina. has been afforded
to it's study. Our correspondent also
states that the author of the directions
was surgeon in the army. of great op-
portunlties for observation, and who final

great success, to the treatment of this dis.

Brief Remark on the preparation for
and treatment Of The Small Por.-Per
sons having been exposed 10 the small
pox and putting themselves on preparation
for that disorder, without incubation,
ough, to be treated in the same manner as
those inocula,ed. All such Of them q, are
in any iolerable health need no medical
preparation. The die. ought to be good
new milk, chocolate. tea. or the like, with
other bland nutritious food. suliicien, to
keep them in iolerable strength, avoiding
cider, uine and spirits. as well as pepper,
and other such heating substances and
sailed meats, TO eat but little meat of any
kind. and be very moderate in the use Of
butter. They should avoid all extre mes
of cold. wei. or heat. and keep themselves
hab!,ually lille cooler than usual at 9th
er times.
During the symptomatic complaints
forll'ude and patience are, in most cases.
The only proper remedies, avoiding the
fire and other unnecessary warmth and
violen, exercise. The stomach, as other
paris. will in many cases be disagreeably
affected. but must not by any means be
treated as in similar dis,resses of tina, or.
gan, in other diseases and circumstances.
On the contrary it must be held az an ak
lom, that there is no analogy between the
eases. Medicines Of emeiic, enthartic or
idrafice tendency, are, at this juncture,
no more applicable or safe as remedies.
