A LETTER, About a Good Management under the Distemper of the MEASLES, at this time Spreading in the Country. Here Published for the Benefit of the Poor, and such as may want the help of Able Physicians.
My Good Friend,
THE Measles are a Distemper which in Europe ordinarily proves a Light Malady: but in these parts of America it proves a very heavy Calamity; A Malady Grievous to most, Mortal to many, & leaving pernicious Relics behind it in All. Because the Sickness is now spreading in all ••rts; and its Malignity increases, as the Winter advances, and Good Physicians are not every where at hand for the Relief of the Sick, and a very nice Management of the Case is requisite: You are now addressed with a short Letter of Advice concerning it.
