Chapter List

Chapter relating to the Cure of the Plague; being induced thereto by considering how widely most Authors have erred in prescribing a Heap of useless and very often hurtful Medicines, which they recommend under the specious t.i.tles of =Antidotes=, =Specifics= and =Alexipharmacs=: hoping that the great Resemblance, which I had observed between this Disease and the =Small Pox=, would justify my writing upon a Distemper which I have never seen.

Chapter with a particular Relation of what pa.s.sed in that Place. A Servant, who first opened the foresaid _Box_, complaining that the Goods were damp, was ordered to dry them at the Fire; but in doing it, was seized with the _Plague_, and died: the same Misfortune extended itself to all the rest of the Family, except the Taylor"s Wife, who alone survived. From hence the Distemper spread about and destroyed in that Village, and the rest of the Parish, though a small one, between two and three hundred Persons. But notwithstanding this so great Violence of the Disease, it was restrained from reaching beyond that Parish by the Care of the Rector; from whose Son, and another worthy Gentleman, I have the Relation. This Clergyman advised, that the _Sick_ should be removed into _Hutts_ or _Barracks_ built upon the _Common_; and procuring by the Interest of the then Earl of _Devonshire_, that the People should be well furnished with Provisions, he took effectual Care, that no one should go out of the Parish: and by this means he protected his Neighbours from Infection with compleat Success.
