mited ; fometlmes was in Convulfions j fometimes in 
the day he would have a great Stupor upon him ; and 
when he waked would be delirous. His fwallowing 
was difficult, and he would grin his Teeth : his Eye- fight 
afterwards failed him, and he loft his Memory and 
upon the leaft Motion of his Body would faint away, 
and in the whole Courfe of his Diftemper was te- 
verifh. 
Upon opening his Head I obferved the Blood Vef- 
fels of the Meninges very much extended ; but what 
furprized me more was, to find the greateft part of 
the left Hemifphcre or fide of the Cerebrum or Brain 
to be perfedlly rotten or Sphacelated, not having the

In the Ventricles of the Brain I obferved a great

There are frequent Obfervations of Stones found in 
iht Glandula Tinealis ; and I have feen the Glands of 
the Tunica Choreides petrified : But Stones to be found 
in the Subftance of the Brain its felf, I think is very 
rare. 'Tis true Jacohus Hclkrius mentions Stones to be 
found in the Brain ; but is no where particular in de-
