IV. An Account of a Stone bred at the Root of 
the Tongue^ and caufing a Qmnfie. Commmi^ 
cated by Mr. Bonavert. 
THE Stone Fig. g. camt (torn Tho.lVco J o( Ne/iC" 
care-flreet in Wrotham, he was troubled with 
Quinfie, he negleded Advice till he could hardly fwal- 
low any Liquid ; and when I went to fte him, I found 
the Tumour tend to Suppuration inwardly about the 
Root of his Tongue on the Right Side, though it was 
almoft as big as an Egg outwardly^ but without any 
Sign of Suppuration there : Wherefore I ordered him 
Maturating Gargles; and the next Day fent my Man, 
and bid him advife him to endeavour to break it with 
his Finger, which the Man effeded, and brought out of 
his Mouth near the Quantity of a quarter of a Pint of 
Matter, and with it at laft the Stone ; he had likewife a 
Ramla, and before he had broke the Tumour, and fpit 
out the Corruption he could hardly fpeak. I believe 
this Stone to be of the (ame Nature as thofe generated 
in the Kidneys and Bladder, 
V 
The freight of this Stone in Air is 7 gr. The Weight 
of the fame in Water is and its fpec^ck 
Weight compared with Water is near as i4^\to one.
