I fhall conclude this Section with a ftrange Cure effected 
upon a Drummers Wife, much afflicted with a Wolf in 
her Breaft; the poor Woman lived with her Husband at 
a Town called by the Indians, Cafco, but by the Englifli, 
Famoutk] where for fome time fhe fwaged the Pain of her 
Sore, by bathing it with ftrong Malt Beer, which it would 
[94] fuck in greedily, as if fome living Creature : When 
lhe could come by no more Beer, (for it was brought from 
Bq/lon, along the Coafts by Merchants,) fhe made ufe of 
Rhum, a ftrong Water drawn from Sugar Canes, with 
which it was lulfd a fleep; at laft, (to be rid of it alto- 
gether) fhe put a quantity of Arfnick to the Rhum, and 
bathing of it as formerly, fhe utterly deftroyed it, and Cured 
her felf; but her kind Husband, who fucked out the Poy- 
fon as the Sore was healing, loft all his Teeth, but without 
further danger or inconvenience.
