to this effect has been current from

PRIMITIVE PHYSIC.
John Wesley as Physician and Some
of His Remedies.

VI TVS nCHIGOlSss
1t is not generally known that John
Wesley in one of his brief intervals of
leisure published a sort of medical
wade mecum called not appropriately
Primitive Physic." 1t was first pub
lished in 1747. and it ran into at least
twenty-four editions The author was
greatly surprised there was so swift
and large a demand for it. In the
later editions he was able to add the
word Tried" TO certain remedies the
virtues of which he had meanwhile
found opportunities of testing. After
five years careful trial and notwith-
standing the objections of the learned
he recommends for the ague "to go
into the cold bath just before the cold
fit" but omits to say how to time the
coming of the fit. To prevent apoplexy
use the cold bath and drink only wa
ter. If this proves useless and a fit
should declare itself you have only to
'put a handful of salt with pint of
cold water and if possible pour it
down the throat of the patient" To
cure asthma take a pint of cold wa
ter every morning, washing the head
therein Immediately after" Wesley
gives four ways Of curing old age
take tar water morning and evening"
or "a decoction of nettles" or "be cleo
trifed daily" or chew cinnamon daily
and swallow your saliva" The two
great panaceas in the Wesleyan doc
trine are the use of cold water and the
use of electricity. and at the end of
the book are columns of every sort of
disease which may be overcome by
these simple expedients.-St James
