■SIR, 



THE firft thing I faw confiderable after I left 

 Montpellier y was a Spring of Oleum Petroleum 

 at Gab i an 5 at the fame Place there is a kind of a 

 black Pumice Stone, and a Medicinal Well. From 

 thence we went to Narbonne , where there is fome 

 Antiquities 3 there having a very fore Leg, and not 

 being^able to endure Riding , I refolved to go for- 

 ward by Sea, and went in a little Veflel down the 

 River to the Sea Shore, where we expe&ed good 

 Weather almoft a Week 5 in which time a Plaifter of 

 Diapalma cured my Leg : And the Mariners being 

 out of hopes of a good Wind, we bought a pair of 



Mules
