I fhall conclude this Section with a ftrange Cure effected 

 upon a Drummers Wife, much afflicted with a Wolf in 

 her Breaft; the poor Woman lived with her Husband at 

 a Town called by the Indians, Cafco; but by the EngliJJi, 

 Famouth\ where for fome time fhe fwaged the Pain of her 

 Sore, by bathing it with ftrong Malt Beer, which it would 

 [94] fuck in greedily, as if fome living Creature : When 

 fhe could come by no more Beer, (for it was brought from 

 Bojlon, along the Coafts by Merchants,) fhe made ufe of 

 Rhum, a ftrong Water drawn from Sugar Canes, with 

 which it was lull'd a fleep ; at laft, (to be rid of it alto- 

 gether) fhe put a quantity of Arfnick to the RJmm, and 

 bathing of it as formerly, fhe utterly deftroyed it, and Cured 

 her felf; but her kind Husband, who fucked out the Poy- 

 fon as the Sore was healing, loft all his Teeth, but without 

 further danger or inconvenience.
