L An Obferifatian of Tvpo Boys bit by a Mad 
Dogj Commnnicated by Dr. Martin Lifter, 
Fellorp of the Coll of Phyf. and R^S. 
A Bout the lad of O^oler, 1679. it happened that 
Two Boys of Ten and Nine Years Old, of a San- 
guin and Cholerick Complexion, did touch and handle 
the Head of a Dog which had been wounded by a Mad 
Dog, which by the handling and wafhing of his Wound 
by the Children, the Dog fo wounded was healed, and 
did not become Mad. 
But about May^ i68o. the Children became fo unwell, 
and were ftized with a paining Grief towards the bottom 
of their Bellies, which did grind and torment them with 
Pain and Trouble, which afcended gradually upwards to- 
wards their Navil. 
And about the Firfi: of July^ together with the fore- 
faid Grief, they were taken with a flow Flux, and with 
Fainting Fits by times, when the fore-faid Pains aflault- 
ed them. After they had continued thus for a time, 
their Pain and Grief afcended towards and above the 
Stomach, whereupon followed very violent and Convul- 
fiv^e-like Motions in their Bodies, efpecially about the 
Stomach and Belly, by which they were tofled and 
tumbled and difturbed in the whole Body, with (bme 
foaming at the Mouth, in the interim of their Fits; now 
and then thefe Symptoms continued and increafed until 
the latter end of Auguji that they were taken with the 
Fear of Water, and could not indure to look into any 
Liquid
