"country amusement in the greatest perfection: I can hunt,
shoot, and fish, among a profusion of game of every kind:
the neighbouring gentlemen, too, seem to vie with each other
in acts of politeness; but as a physician, I cannot say that
it is quite so alluring to me, for the natives have got the
art of preserving their health, and prolonging their lives,
without boluses or electuaries; by a plaister taken
inwardly, called Thick Pottage. This preserves them from the
various diseases which shake the human fabric, and makes
them slide into the grave without pain, by the gradual
decays of nature."
