Iforthjf Sir, , 
WHen I had laft the Honour to be at a meeting of the 
Royal Society in Grefiam College, there happened 
in a difcourfe concerning Plumb3,which gave me occafioa to^ 
tell you of one detained in the Guts of a Woman above go 
years, caufing ftrange and grievous accidents^ till I drew it- 
out ex Ano, 
According to my promife then^ I (end you now a more' 
particular account of that wonderful cafe and cure than I 
could give by meer memory. 
Her name is Sarah Svpayn\ of a thin habit and middle fi'a« 
ture, who when but fix years old, was firft afliifted with 
violent pain, together with a large hard fwelling on the 
left fide of her Belly, which lated twelve hours, and then 
went off without ufe of any Remedy or fenfible evacuation ^ 
and at the end of three months returned, lafted and went off 
as before. 
Several years it obferved that Period, and then changed 
its intermiffion from 3 months to 3 weeks, and fo continued 
till flie was 55 years old^ in which time (he married, and 
bore one Child, the pain of- which (he averfd to be much 
lefs than what iXxt^Q ^aroxifms gave her. 
Daring her pregnancy, her Pains nor Intcrmiffions had no 
alteration, and in her whole Life flie found no Diet difturb'd
