Chapter I.
S e c t . 1.
he most frequent Causes of Diseases commonly
incident to Country People are, 1. Excessive Labour,
continued for a very considerable Time. Sometimes
they sink down at once in a State of Exhaustion and
Faintness, from which they seldom recover: but they are oftener
attacked with some inflammatory Disease; as a Quinsey, a Pleurisy,
or an Inflammation of the Breast.
There are two Methods of preventing these Evils: one is, to avoid
the Cause which produces them; but this is frequently impossible.
Another is, when such excessive Labour has been unavoidable, to
allay their Fatigue, by a free Use of some temperate refreshing
Drink; especially by sweet Whey, by Butter-milk, or by 8 Water, to a
Quart of which a Wine-glass of Vinegar may be added; or, instead of
that, the expressed Juice of Grapes not fully ripe, or even of
Goosberries or Cherries: which wholesome and agreeable Liquors
are refreshing and cordial. I shall treat, a little lower, of inflammatory
Disorders. The Inanition or Emptiness, though accompanied with
Symptoms different from the former, have yet some Affinity to them
with Respect to their Cause, which is a kind of general Exsiccation or
Dryness. I have known some cured from this Cause by Whey,
succeeded by tepid Baths, and afterwards by Cow's Milk: for in such
Cases hot Medicines and high Nourishment are fatal.
§ 5. The fourth Cause, which indeed affects every Body, but more
particularly the Labourer, is, the Inconstancy of the Weather. We
shift all at once, many times a Day, from Hot to Cold, and from Cold
to Hot, in a more remarkable Manner, and more suddenly, than in
most other Countries. This makes Distempers from Defluxion and
Cold so common with us: and it should make us careful to go rather
a little more warmly cloathed, than the Season may seem to require;
to have Recourse to our Winter-cloathing early in Autumn, and not
to part with it too early in the Spring. Prudent Labourers, who strip
while they are at Work, take care to put on their Cloaths in the
Evening when they return home. 9 Those, who from Negligence, are
satisfied with hanging them upon their Country Tools, frequently
experience, on their Return, the very unhappy Effects of it. There
are some, tho' not many Places, where the Air itself is unwholsome,
more from its particular Quality, than from its Changes of
Temperature, as at Villeneuve, and still more at Noville, and in some
other Villages situated among the Marshes which border on the
Rhone. These Countries are particularly subject to intermitting
Fevers; of which I shall treat briefly hereafter.
§ 8. There are some Villages, in which, after the Curtain Lines are
erased, watery marshy Places remain in the Room of them. The
Effect of this is still more dangerous, because that putrify'd Water,
which stagnates during the hot Season, suffers its Vapours to exhale
more easily, and more abundantly, than that in the Curtain Lines did.
Having set out for Pully le Grand, in 1759, on Account of an
epidemical putrid Fever which raged there, I was sensible, on
traversing the Village, of the Infection from those Marshes; nor could
I doubt of their being the Cause of this Disease, as well as of
another like it, which had prevailed there five Years before. In other
Respects the Village is wholesomly situated. It were to be wished
such Accidents were obviated by avoiding these stagnated Places;
or, at least, by removing them and the Dunghils, as far as possible
from the Spot, where we live and lodge.

§ 16. The second Method taken to raise a Sweat in these Patients is,
to give them nothing but hot things, especially Venice Treacle, Wine,
or some 15 Faltranc, the greater Part of the Ingredients of which are
dangerous, whenever there is an evident Fever; besides Saffron,
which is still more pernicious. In all feverish Disorders we should
gently cool, and keep the Belly moderately open; while the
Medicines just mentioned both heat and bind; and hence we may
easily judge of their inevitable ill Consequences. A healthy Person
would certainly be seized with an inflammatory Fever, on taking the
same Quantity of Wine, of Venice Treacle, or of Faltranc, which the
Peasant takes now and then, when he is attacked by one of these
Disorders. How then should a sick Person escape dying by them? Die
indeed he generally does, and sometimes with astonishing Speed. I
have published some dreadful Instances of such Fatality some Years
since, in another Treatise. In fact they still daily occur, and unhappily
every Person may observe some of them in his own Neighbourhood.
§ 17. But I shall be told perhaps, that Diseases are often carried off
by Sweat, and that we ought to be guided by Experience. To this I
answer, it is very true, that Sweating cures some particular
Disorders, as it were, at their very Onset, for Instance, those
Stitches that are called spurious or false Pleurisies, some rheumatic
Pains, and some Colds or Defluxions. But this only happens when
the Disorders depend solely and simply on stopt or abated
Perspiration, to which such Pain instantly succeeds; where
immediately, before the Fever has thickened the Blood, and inflamed
the Humours; and where before any internal Infarction, any Load, is
formed, some warm Drinks are given, such as Faltranc and Honey;
which, by restoring Transpiration, remove the very Cause of the
Disorder. Nevertheless, even in such a Case, great Care should be
had not to raise too violent a Commotion in the Blood, which would
rather restrain, than promote, Sweat, to effect which Elder-flowers
are in my Opinion preferable to Faltranc. Sweating is also of Service
in Diseases, when their Causes are extinguished, as it were, by
plentiful Dilution: then indeed it relieves, by drawing off, with itself,
some Part of the distempered Humours; after which their grosser
Parts have passed off by Stool and by Urine: besides which, the
Sweat has also served to carry off that extraordinary Quantity of
Water, we were obliged to convey into the Blood, and which was
become superfluous there. Under such Circumstances, and at such a
Juncture, it is of the utmost Importance indeed, not to check the
Sweat, whether by Choice, or for Want of Care. There might often
be as much Danger in doing this, as there would have been in
endeavouring to force a Sweat, immediately upon the Invasion of
the Disorder; since the arresting of this Discharge, under the
preceding Circumstances, might frequently occasion a more
dangerous Distemper, by repelling the Humour on some inward vital
Part. As much Care therefore should be taken not to check,
imprudently, that Evacuation by the Skin, which naturally occurs
towards the Conclusion of Diseases, as not to force it at their
Beginning; the former being almost constantly beneficial, the latter
as constantly pernicious. Besides, were it even necessary, it might be
very dangerous to force it violently; since by heating the Patients
greatly, a vehement Fever is excited; they become scorched up in a
Manner, and the Skin proves extremely dry. Warm Water, in short, is
the best of Sudorifics.
If the Sick are sweated very plentifully for a Day or two, which may
make them easier for some Hours; these Sweats soon terminate,
and cannot be excited again by the same Medicines. The Dose
thence is doubled, the Inflammation is increased, and the Patient
expires in terrible Anguish, with all the Marks of a general
Inflammation. His Death is ascribed to his Want of Sweating; when it
really was the Consequence of his Sweating too much at first; and of
his taking Wine and hot Sudorifics. An able Swiss Physician had long
since assured his Countrymen, that Wine was fatal to them in
Fevers; I take leave to repeat it again and again, and wish it may
not be with as little Success.
Our Country Folks, who in Health, naturally dislike red Wine, prefer it
when Sick; which is wrong, as it binds them up more than white
Wine. It does not promote Urine as well; but increases the Force of
the circulating Arteries, and the Thickness of the Blood, which were
already too considerable.
§ 18. Their Diseases are also further aggravated by the Food that is
generally given them. They must undoubtedly prove weak, in
Consequence of their being sick; and the ridiculous Fear of the
Patients' dying of Weakness, disposes their Friends to force them to
eat; which, increasing their Disorder, renders the Fever mortal. This
Fear is absolutely chimerical; never yet did a Person in a Fever die
merely from Weakness. They may be supported, even for some
Weeks, by Water only; and are stronger at the End of that Time,
than if they had taken more solid Nourishment; since, far from
strengthening them, their Food increases their Disease, and thence
increases their Weakness.
§ 20. They are also further injured by the Quality, as well as the
Quantity, of their Food. They are forced to sup strong Gravey Soups,
Eggs, Biscuits, and even Flesh, if they have but just Strength and
Resolution to chew it. It seems absolutely impossible for them to
survive all this Trash. Should a Man in perfect Health be compelled
to eat stinking Meat, rotten Eggs, stale sour Broth, he is attacked
with as violent Symptoms, as if he had taken real Poison, which, in
Effect, he has. He is seized with Vomiting, Anguish, a violent
Purging, and a Fever, with Raving, and eruptive Spots, which we call
the Purple Fever. Now when the very same Articles of Food, in their
soundest State, are given to a Person in a Fever, the Heat, and the
morbid Matter already in his Stomach, quickly putrify them; and
after a few Hours produce all the abovementioned Effects. Let any
Man judge then, if the least Service can be expected from them.
