The diseases of the Indians are very few, and easy to be cured: they for the most part arise from excessive heats and colds, which they get rid of by sweating. As for aches, and settled pains in the joints or limbs, they use caustics and scarifying.
But they were corrosives and caustics dropped blazing hot upon white men's bare hands and black men's bare feet. The ex-master spurned political fellowship with his slave at every cost; the ex-slave laid taxes, stole them, and was murdered. "Make way for robbery, he cries," drawled Ravenel; "makes way for robbery and dies." "Mr. Ravenel," said Judge March, "I find no place for me, sir.
After the use of caustics, suppuration followed; the tumour broke out into wounds, but even these failed to bring relief to the suffering patient. Maroncelli was thus far more unfortunate than myself, although my sympathy for him caused me real pain and suffering, I was glad, however, to be near him, to attend to all his wants, and to perform all the duties of a brother and a friend.
Farther, though every man loves his own body to a great degree, we scruple not nevertheless to take from it all that is superfluous, for this reason we cut our hair and our nails, we take off our corns and our warts, and we put ourselves into the surgeons' hands, and endure caustics and incisions; and after they have made us suffer a great deal of pain, we think ourselves obliged to give them a reward: thus, too, we spit, because the spittle is of no use in the mouth, but on the contrary is troublesome.

When the focus is not sufficiently limited to admit of this, the infected tissue may be scraped away with the sharp spoon, or destroyed by caustics or by the actual cautery.
Of painful sensations from the excess of light, pressure, heat, itching, caustics, and electricity. I. Philosophers have been much perplexed to understand, in what manner we become acquainted with the external world; insomuch that Dr. Mr. Hume asserts, that our belief depends on the greater distinctness or energy of our ideas from perception; and Mr.
