Assigned its several Causes, and discribed Some
Methods for removeing them, Says, Soap is not
only a Sure Remedy for Corpulency, but is
withall So Safe, that it may be taken in Larg
Quantities every day for years together,
The fittest Soap for this purpose is that of
Alicant in Spain, as being not only more
Cleanly, and Less disagreeable, but much more
easily dissolved in Water, then the home
made Castile Soap,
The time to take it is at Night when going
to bed, A Drachm may be tried for the 
first four or 5 Days, and if that create no
Remarkable Dissorder, the Quantity Should be
increased to two: 3: & in very stubborn Cases
to four Drachms, not to be Exceeded in any
Case, it may be taken either in the form
of a Bolus with any palatable Syrup, or in
the Shape of Pills, or dissolved in a Gill or
more of soft water, &c,
