ic fo brought her to her felf, that {he could anfwcr Que- 
ftions, and I asked her, whether Ihe was afraid of the 
Drink and Water, when (he flung the Cups in that 
violent manner from her > She (aid, No ; but u lien (he 
offered to drink, her Breaft and Heart wculd not let her. 
I asked, whether through any Averfion or Fear ? She 
faid, No, {he was very Thirfty ; but when (he offered 
to drink, it ftruck to her Heart, and (lopped her Breath. 
That is, as I apprehend, the cold Drink pafling down 
the Throat ftruck a chilnefi in the Blood, and made it 
readier to ftagnate : befides the very ac9: of Drinking, 
hindring the tree breathing, conduced alfo much thereto ; 
and therefore the Heart was fo fuddenly opprefs'd, that 
ihe could not forbear flinging away whatever (he had in 
her Hand. She complained alfo of a great rigour and 
ftiffnefs or 'ftraitnefs of the Mufcles of her Breaft, fo that 
poffibly the Spirituous Liquor that flows in the Genus 
Nervofum may be congealed as well as theBlocd; or the

refult of the condenfed Blood clogging both the Heart 
and Lungs, Co that the Breaft may feem to be ftraitned 
therewith. The fame I judge to be the caufe of all the 
violent Luxations in this Gentleman, whofe Fing^s I 
looked on, and found the places where he had formerly 
been bit, turned blackifli, and much inflamed about them, 
which confirmed me in my fentiment, that it was a re- 
lapfc of his former Dlftemper, tha,t is, of the Bite of 
the Mad" Dog, Ltoid them, if any thing in the World 
would fave his Life, I judged it muft be the former Vcy 
mit of Volatile Salts; they could not tell what to do, 
neverthelefs fuch is the Malignancy of the World, that 
as (con as it was given, they ran away and left me, 
faying, he was now certainly a dead Man, to have a 
Vomit given in that, condition. Neverthelefs it pleafed 
God that he fliortly after cried, This Fellow in the Black 
has dme tns gooJ^ and after the firft Vomit, came fo to
