bottom I tookup a thick clammy matter, juft like that Sfamjh 
White , that finks to the bottom of Its fize. In quantity it might 
be about three pints, contain'd in a Bag^ which was capable to 
hold as much more and better. The hag ran along from the left 
fhoulder to the utmoft of the right fide of the Mid-riff: not 
ftreight along nor ftifly ftretcht *, but about a hand-breadth from 
-its rife it went dire&ly down to the Midriff, with which it clofed 
all along. Tts skin or coat was thicker than that of the ftomack, 
as welteits capacity larger, in as much as the Flexures of the 
Ribs joyn’d with it, and made up above half the compafs. Where, 
it adher’d to the Mid-riff, ’twas near a finger thick : And in one 
place, where I endeavor’d to feparate it from the Mid-rif^ I hit 
upon a thinner bagg, whence iffued out 2 or 3 fpoonfuls of fhier 
water .• How it got in, I found not. T he Mediaffmum was either 
wholly wafted, orelfe woven into the thicknefs of the Bagg, as 
was alfo the Pleura , as far as the Bagg reach’d. It lay loofe and 
Rapping from the left Axillar tothe Chejl, having been before 
fill’d and diftended either withi^Mor the Liquor. All the hol- 
low was bedabled with the wallowings of the liquor about, as 
is the Oufe by the Ebbings and Flowings of the Tide in a Chan- 
nel. That Loheoi the Lungs , which fhould have been on the righ- 
fide, was gone, and that on the left, wafted to near a third part. 
In the Lower Belly all was well. 
Dr. Brown faith, he hath met with the like in an Italian Au- 
thor. His opinion was to falivate her. I had thoughts of a Pa - 
racenthefis , or Tapping between the Ribs. For by the noife of 
the Liquor, and by her not enduring to lye on the left, I conclu- 
ded it muft be in a Cyftis on the right. But if that had been done, 
the Bagg being too thick might have mortified. The Jolking 
was exactly like that of Water or Milk. This Woman was as 
Flat-breafted as a Man- Whether the Liquor proceeded from the 
falling down of the chyle from the Axillars , is a j$u*re , but feems 
to carry in it fomewhat of probability. But I muft not refteft.
