'by his Sympathetick Powdev was brought to a break- 
ing, and it (o wrought, that the Corruption of the lower 
Swelling was carried up, and vented by the opening of 
the upper. Moreover, that this proceeding farther, 
the fame Woman had a Cancer in her Bread ; and that 
he would by the Operation of his Sympathetick Pow- 
der effcft It : So ihac the Corruption ot the Cancer 
fbculd be drovepx cut by this breaking above the EJ- 
bow. Hereupon I laid, that fuch Operations feem'dto 
me impcffible ; and I defired he would tell me by what 
way this could be efFedJed. But I had no other An- 
fwer, but there were many more things done in Na- 
ture than we could give Reafons for. I ask'd alfo, 
Whether he did all his Cures by the Sympathy Pow- 
der? I had for Anfwer, that he did perform them al- 
fo by the Magnet, and by Tranfpiration. He faid 
farther, that he could alio, not only, Cure the Gout and 
ConfumptioHt but divers other Diieafes alfo. And that 
he would by his Sympathetick Powder working on the 
Urine, perform fuch effefts, that the Calculos Matter 
fhould work out of the Joynts. ^ 
A certain Man and Woman, dwelling in our Towrr, 
having Confumptions ; Upon the great Rumor that was 
fpread of this High German^ went to Roterdam ; and he 
undertook to Cure them in Fourteen days by the Ope- 
ration of his Sympathetick Powder on their Urine : 
Though finding themfelves, after fome Weeks (lay 
there, to grow worfe than they were when they firft 
came. They returned home, and Ihortly after took 
a long Journey to their Fathers, I have fpoken 
with the Husband of the Woman, and with the Wife 
of the Man, who told me, that the High German had 
\not only promifed to Cure them, as they were, but 
that if Kiey had but anypar t of their Body as big as 
a Finger found, he would recover them.
