Teral things ofDr. Browne and others at Norwich for about fix 
moneths 'time, without finding relief. Half a year after , toward 
Michaelmas, upon taking a flight cold, fhe was fo ftop’t up, that 
fhe could only whifper ; nor could fiie lie flat, but rear’d up with 
pillows. I being fent for, caufed prefently a Vein to be open’d, as 
an Expedient only to make way for a freer Circulation , and 
room for Nature to disburthen her felf. Within lefs than an hour 
fiie got breath , and foon after grew as well asfiie was before. 
She affirm’d, fiie never fwet in her life , nor could it be procur’d 
by ordinary Sudorificks. Being defirous to adde an Empirical re- 
medv, I gave her three of Matthews Pills •, which did fweat her- 
lightly, but beyond what ever fiie remembred. Several daily do - 
fes of Lockiers Pills, /{..per dofe, remov’d the julking, as ftefaid 0 
lower to the Mid -riff: when fiie, fearing an Hyper- cathar (is , laid 
them by for two or three daies, and then taking them up again, 
could find no further alteration by them. She could never lie on 
her left fide. In the 23. year of her age, in Winter, fiie had a 
dangerous Feaver , with a Diarrhea, but came off. In her 24. in 
Winter again, fiie got cold, was quite ftopt up , after five or fix. 
dales fell into Convulfion ere fiie was bled, through want of care 
in thofe about her. By late bleeding fiie had prefent eafe , and 
cheat’d up in the Evening, but died the next Morning. 
I had leave from her felf, whilfl living, and from her Relations, 
when dead, to open her Body 3 which I did accordingly. 
Fir ft therefore I cleav’d afunder the Breft-bone from the Car- 
tilage, called Fnft-formis, to the neck^ when , laying open the 
hollow of th z Thorax, there fieam’d out at firft a very offenfive 
fmell , notwithffanding the fharp froff, there was at that time, it 
being about ChriftmrLs. T hen making way to lay open either fide 
of the Sternum , I was furprifed to fee (as I thought) almofi; the 
whole Cavity of -the Fhotax empty above, (as the Body lay fu- 
pine) and fill’d with nothing but thick Milk beneath. But.fearch- 
ing further, I found there was only all the right fide of theCheft, 
and about atthird part of the left, in that condition. It took up, 
in the part to the neck- ward a hand- breadth, and ran three fin- 
gers thicknefs to the left of the Mediaftinumt . The Liquor was 
like Cream, or rather like a fize of Spam ft white, having a caftl 
off yellow*, like Beefiings, for, ..putting; a fpoon into it, .from the ■ 
bottoms
