" left mention of the property in any one of the 

 " old naturalifts. My patient can bear to have 

 " but one applied in twenty-four hours : the \vo- 

 " man who was cured had them on day and 

 " night, without intermiffion, for five weeks. Their 

 " time of hsnoino- at the bread has been from one 



o o 



" to fix hours." 



The other is of a woman who made the ex- 

 periment, which I give, as delivered to me from 

 " undoubted authority. 



About fix years * ago a poor woman received a 

 crufii on her breafi; by the fall of a pail ; a com- 

 plaint in that part was the refult. 



I.aft year her diforder increafed to an alarming 

 degree •, fiie hsd five wounds on her breafts, one 

 exceedino; larse, from which frao;ments of bone 

 worked out, giving her vaft pain, and at the famjC 

 time there was a great difcharge of thin yellow 

 matter : ihe was likewife reduced to a meer Ikele-^ 

 ton. 



All her left fide and ftomach was much fweU 

 }ed i her fingers doughy and difcolored. 



On the 2 ^r.h oi September, 1768, the firfi: toad 

 was applied ; between that and the 29th fhe ufed 

 feven, and had that night better reft. She fwal- 

 lowed with greater eafe, for before that time there 

 was fome appearance of tumor in her neck, and 

 a difficulty of getting any thing down.
