24 An Argument againft 
The late. Dr. Huntzr was in poffeffion of 2 
fkull, in which the bones of the Cranium, on the 
right fide, were every where corroded. He had 
opened: the head foon after the deceafe of the 
Patient, and found the whole of the right hemif- 
phere deftroyed by fuppuration, Yet the man 
retained his facuities perfectiy till the inftant of his 
death, which was fudden. 
Dr. Haier mentions a cafe, in which half a 
pound of Pus was found in the ventricles of the 
brain, yet the faculties had been unimpaired till 
death. 
Sir Joun Princrz found an Abfcefs in the right 
hemifphere of the brain, as large as an egg, in a 
patient ‘‘ who had never been delirious, nor alto- 
gether infenfible ;* and in another, who ‘ had 
‘© never’ been’ fo infenfib!e, as not to anfwer rea- 
“© fonably when fpoke to,” he difcovered an ab- 
{cefs of the Cerebellum, as large as a fmall pigeon’s 
egg-t 
La. Pevronie: found pus lodged between the- 
hemifpheres, and comprefling the Corpus Callo- 
fum: when the matter was evacuated, the patient 
recovered, without detriment to his faculties.+
