In that case the desease was not only in its nature supposing
no remedy applied efficient, mortal but of the acutest kind: death
at the Patients door, and the door already half opened. In the
present case that their does exist desease is supposed to have
been elsewhere already proved and for the present purpose must be assumed.
But howsoever surely in default of an adequate remedy
mortal it is not like that in the other case of the acute
but of the chronical kind: and this is all which in this place need
be said of it.
That which belongs to this place is the nature of the
remedy. That the remedy which in that case was applied had its
use is another point equally out of dispute: for the time, the
patient's life was saved by it. But while it cured the acute
desease it left the chronical one: it is that which the Constitution
labours and lingers under and under of which we feel
so sensibly the effects at present.
The remedy — in what did it consist? — In the removal
of the Monarch of the Throne: in that and nothing else:
if not absolutely and strictly speaking nothing, nothing which
to the purpose in question was of a nature to produce any
better effect than that above mentioned of retarding the Catasthrophe
and thus affording a chance for the application and effectual
operation of ano some other different and finally effectual remedy
if so it be that the nature of the desease admitts of one.
