Perforation. And the rather I am of this Opinion, be- 
caufe in thofe Inftances I mentioned of Human Bodies, 
I f6und in other Places of the Stomach, thefe Glands ve- 
ry large and Steatomatoiu ; tho' Naturally they are but 
fmall, and often not obftrved. Where there is a Perfo- 
ration of the Stomach upon an Inflammation^ and upon 
that an Imfojtumation 5 there the Foramen is larg^ r and 
not regular : as remarkably I once met with it in a Child, 
where a large part of one fide of the Stomach was Spha- 
celated, So likewife upon a Corrofive Poifon taken , its 
EfFeds dilates its ftlf more, and is not confined to fo 
narrow a Compafs ; as I obferved once in one who had 
taken Rats-lane, 
Upon obferving this Perforation of the Stomachy I 
looked to fee, whether any of its Contents had been 
emptied into the Cavity of the Aldomen ; but could find 
little or nothing : Nor indeed, when I came to open the 
Stomach, could I find any thing that could be evacuated 
that Way ; for there was nothing contained in the Sto- 
mach, but a Body || of Clotted Hair, formed inro the || Tat. 2. 
Shape and Figure of the Stomach, fomewhat like an Half ^k- 4- 
Moon\ covered with a flimy vifcid Subftance, which 
did ferve the better to glue thefe Hairs together. Thefe 
Hairy Tophi are frequently to be met with, in the Sto- 
machs of Bruits^ and! have had, and feen feveral, which 
have been taken out of Qxen ; and the Butchers inform 
me; that they chiefly meet with them in the Winter Sea- ' 
fon, after the '/7(3ir begins to fbed ; and the Cattle feed 
upon Hay and dry Meat : But after the Springs and in 
Summer^ they do more (eldom find them ; as if the 
New Grafs^ which Purges them, did contribute to dif- 
folve thefe Tophi likewife. Georg. Hieron, Velfcius has
