' In April laft, I was defied, together with my Friend, 
Dr C of Tiverton^ to fee a Woman of that Town, named 
Mrs ?ear. She is about 30, of a tender Conftitution 5 
fead an ill habit of Body, and about Catidlewas hft a Fe- 
ver ^ whicli continuing near three weeks, was at^lcngth 
overcome by Teftaceous Powders, Alexjpkar/;/acf ^ but 
chiefly by the Cortex. 
In this Fever fhe had fowr Vomitings, and a pain in 
her Stomach. which remain'd a long time, and, after the 
Fever, was accompanyed with a copious Salivation 5 with 
Wind, and pains in her fide, to a degree extraordinary 5 
under all which fhe labour'd to the time of my feeing her. 
About three weeks before my Vifit, (he was relz,'d with 
a Jaundice, and while taking Medicines ( Pilules & De- 
€oBum I^ericnm Fnlkri ) for that Illnefs, fhe brought off 
feveral Bladders^ bj Stool and continued fo to do, fome- 
times every da>s at other times once in two or three days, 
ever fince the firft difcharge of this kind, to the time of 
my Vifit. 
Thele Bladders were of various fi^es 5 the lea(\ that 
came off, was cf the bignefs of a great Pins^bead ^ ' the 
largcfl, equal to a Pullets Egg: They were alfo of differ- 
ing Colours ^ fome white, others more yellqjvv, from the 
Liquor contained in them^ which was a fort of Ceil y, 
like that of Harts horn^ ting'd more or lefs with Saffion. 
'"feefore the Difcharge of tbefe Bladders^ there was (be- 
fides the Symptoms already mentioned ) a Coldnefs, and 
Sicknefs at Stomach, ^Imcft perpetual 5 with frequent; In- 
clinations to Vomit, and Hyfteric Suffocations : Since/that 
Difchargp thefe Symptoms are vaniiht, and fueceeded by a 
Sorenefs of the fame part, as if fometbing had been torn 
there. 
The Bladders csim^ ofi without pain 5 many of them 
whole and entire 5 one of which I favv about the bignefs 
of a large Gall, or Marble Stone : Others were broken, 
and appeared not- unlike the empty Skins of Corrants^, 
Goofe berries and Plums. On-
