nual pulfation of the tumour 5 part of the Sternum 
bone was alfo v/orn off by the fame caufe. 
The dilatation of the Artery began precifely on 
its Trunc next to the Heart, before it divideth it felf 
into the afcending and defcending Truncs ^ and tho 
there is but a h'ttle place, yet it did dilate it felf fo 
exceffively, that the Bag did fill up the whole ca- 
vity of the Tiiorax on the right fide 5 and preffed the 
Lungs fo much, that they were thereby much diminilh u: 
the Bag by the outlide did adhere to the^ Mediafti- 
num, to the Diaphragma, the Pleura, and to the 
Sternum in which it had digged two great holes, fo 
ftrong was the Impulfion. The infide of that Bag was 
lined almoft all over with bony Laminae, fome lar- 
ger, fome lefTer, like fo many (hells. The heart was 
mightily relaxed, infomuch that it was twice as large 
as it ought to be. 
One thing that deferveth a confideration is, that a- 
mong the Fibres of the Heart there were fome ftones, 
like them which are fometimes found in the Lungs ot 
Scrophulous Bodies. 
Mr Lafage keepeth all thefe parts (taken out of the 
Body) in his Houfe, and will (hew them to thofe who 
may de/ire to fee them.
