the next day he wa^ found on his three Legs. This 
Experiment raifed ouviExpeiJarions of the like Succefs 
on Humane Bodies : therefore it was tryed on a Man 
in St. Bartholomew's ^ofpitaly whofe difeafed Arm was 
Amputated above theElbow ; but for above a quarter 
of an hour's time many (iicceflefs Applications of this 
Styptick were made, md at length a fmali Tent dipt 
in the Pouder it felf irferted into the extremity of the 
Bleeding Artery, befoie the Flux of Blood would admit 
the application of BaiJage. Five hours after, a frefli 
Flux of Blood appeared, and 11 rid Bandage was ap- 
plyed. The fame Men ing the above-mentioned Am* 
putation was made, a B>y about Twelve or Fourteen 
Years of Age had hisLegalfo taken off below the Knee, 
to whofe Stump divers ucceflcfs Applications of this 
Styptick were alfo made, before it was bound up, and 
in lefs than an hour aftet, a fre(h Flux of Blood hap- 
pened, and ftrift Bandage was added. Some hours af- 
ter thefe Operations, bo;h thefe Patients fuffered extra- 
vagant Pains : Three daj^s after, the Applications were 
taken off, and had any Perfon, a ftranger to what had 
been done, feen the Stunp?, he would have fuppofed 
nothing lefs than annual Cautery had been applyed, 
or could have occafionec fuch large Efcars, and (6 hor- 
rid an Appearance ^ which did lufficiently denote this 
Vulnerary Pouder ( as it's called in a late Publick Paper ) 
to be a violent Cauftick. The Poueter was applyed with 
all imaginable fairnefs, and in the Prefence of the In- 
venter, who I think has no Reafon to imagine thofe 
Surgeons who made ufe of it in the Hofpital, had any 
Defign to prevent its Succefs, fmce it's well known 
They were rather Prejudiced in its Favour, than on the 
contrary.
