bottom I took up a thick clammy matter, juft like that Sfanilh 
White 5 that finks to the bottom of its fize. In quantity it might 
be about three pnts , contain d in a Bag^ which was capable to 
hold as much more and better. T^hthag ran along from the left 
fhoulder to the ucmoft of the right fide of the Mid-riff: not 
ftreight along nor ftifly ftretcht but about a hand-breadth from 
its rife it went direftly down to the Midriff, with which it clofed 
all along. Its skin or coat was thicker than that of the ftomack, 
as well as its capacity larger, in as much as the Flexures of the 
Ribsjoyn'd with it, and made up above half thecompafs. Where 
K adher'd totheMid-riff, 'twas near a finger thick; And in one 
place, where lendeavor'dto feparateit from the Mid-rifF, I hit 
upon a thinner baggy whence ifliied out 2 or 3 fpoonfuls of fliier 
water How it got in, I found not. The Mediajlinum was either 
wholly wafted, or elfe woven into the thicknefs of the Bagg , as 
was alfo the Pleura^ as far as the Bagg reach'd. It lay loofe and 
flapping from the left Axillar to the Che^:, having been before 
fiU'd and diftended either with lenid or the Liquor. All the hol- 
low was bedabled with the wallowings of the liquor about^ as 
is theOufe by the Ebbings andFlowings oiihtJide in a Chan- 
nel. That Lobe of the Lungs ^ which (hould have been on the righ- 
fide, was gone, and that on the left, wafted to near a third part. 
In the l.ower Belly all wa^ well. 
Dr. Brorvn^mhj he hath met with the lil^e in an Italian Au- 
thor. His opinion was to falivate her. I had thoughts of a Pa- 
racenthefts^ or Tapping between the Ribs. For by the noife of 
the Liquor j and by her not enduring to lye on the left, I conclu- 
ded it muft be in a Cyftis on the right. But if that had been done^ 
the Bagg being too thick might have mortified. The Jolking 
was exa(5lly like that of Water or Milk. This Woman was as 
Flat-breafted as a Man. Whether the Liquor proceeded from the 
falling down of the chyle from the Axtllars^ is a JS^^^re^ but feems 
to carry in it fomewhat of probability. But I muft not reflect.
