before. He bled at the Nofe very plentifully, and therefore we thought it 
proper to take 2 or 3 fmall Porringers of blood from him. 
Saturday morning, the laft day before Chriftmas y he defired ag ain to go 
to confefs, and fo to difpofe himfelf for the Communion. Then one Mr, 
Bonnet examined him in hearing him confefs, and after he had found him to 
have all the reafon neceffary to receive the Sacrament, he prefently gave 
him the Communion. That fame day his Urine clear’d up, and after that 
time it refumed by little and little its natural colour. 
His Wife mean time, that had fought him from town to town, came to 
Paris, and having found him out, when he ftw her, he foon exprefled much 
joy to fee her, and related to her with great prefence of mind the feveral 
Accidents that had befallen him, running up and down ftreets^ how the 
Watch had feized on him one night, and how Calfs-blood had been transfu- 
fed into his veins. 
This Woman confirmed yet more to us the good effe&s of the Transi- 
tion, by affuring us, that at the feafon we were now in, her Husband 
flioufd be outragious, and very mad againft her felf, and that intiead of the 
kindnefshe(hewedtoheratthisT’«//ofthe Moon, he ufed to do nothing 
but fwear, and beat her. 
* Tis true, that comparing his calm condition, wherein he now was, with 
that, wherein every body had feen him before the Transfufion , no man 
fcrupled to fay that he, was perfect ly recover’d. Yet to fpeak the plain truth, 
I was not fo well fatisfied as others feem’d to be, and I could not perfwadr 
my felf chat he was in fo good a temper as to ftop there, but I was inclin’d 
to believe by fome things I fa w, that a third Transition might be requifite 
to accomplifh what the two former had begun. 
Yet in delaying the execution of thefe thoughts from day to day, we ob- 
ferved To great an amendment in his carriage, and his mind fo clear’d up 
by little and little, that his wife and all his friends having afir’d us that he 
was reflored to the fame ftate he ufed to be in before hisPhrenzy, we en- 
tirely quitted that refolution. I have feen him almoft every day fince • he 
hath exprefled to me all manner of acknowledgment, and been alfo with 
M .deMontmor, thanking him very civily for his goodnefe in recovering 
him out of that miferable condition he was in by a remedy which he 
fhould remember as long as he lived. { 
He is at prefentof a very calmfpirit, performs all hisfun&ions very well, 
and fleeps all night long without interruption, though he faith he hath now 
and then troublefome dreams. He hath carried himfelf fo difcreetly in 
fome vifits he made this week, that divers Phyfitians, and other per- 
fons worthy of credit, that have feenhim,can render an authentick teftimony 
to all the circumftances here advanced by me, who (hall not employ againft 
cavils and contradi&ions any other arguments than the experiment it felf.
