one could hardly open her Eyes but with a great dea 
of pain. Thefe fymptoms did continue for three or \ 
four months, tho fometimes more or lefs violent. At 
laft, flie fell into Convuliive motions of her Arms, | 
- Legs, and other parts, and thefe were very fierce for " i 
two days, till (he began to bleed by the No(e, the \ 
Mouth, the Ears and the Eyes. The Lianen Cioarhs, 
that were then applied to the Eye-lids, were all wet ^ 1

the fore-runners of the lame Hemorrage the Girl had \ 
before. This made me the more infift upon the open- :

next moruing, and then indeed it was needl^fs^ for very ; 
early in the morning , after fomeConvulfion fits,{he began 
to bleed from the Nofe, the Mouth, m\ I was very
