May 2, There was a fmall Difcharge from the 
Sore. 
May 3, He found two large Abfceffes on each Side 
of the Ancle. The Violence of the Fever being ta- 
ken off by the ufe of the Bark, Nature was enabled 
to form thefe Abfceffes, and from that he concluded, 
that the Progrefs of the Mortification was effectually 
flopt. He oblerved upon giving th eBark but once in 
fix Hours a fmall Return of the Fever, with a worfe 
Digeftion, which obliged him to give it every four 
Hours as before, and continued in that Dofe for 
twenty-eight Days in all ; and then every fix Hours 
for five or fix Days longer, though the Fever had quite 
left him all that time. 
The whole Quantity of the Bark given to this 
Gentleman amounted to ten Ounces. 
May 5, His Pulfe was regular, and the Digeftion 
plentiful and laudable. The Mufcles and Tendons 
on the Sole of the Foot being all mortified, before the 
Bark was given, feparated in Pr.ocefs of Time, and 
fell off very kindly, leaving the Bones of the Toes,, 
Metatarfus and 'far jus bare and carious, which he 
afterwards cut off one after another, as he found Oc- 
cafion, and could be done with Safety. About the 
Middle of November following the Ends of the Tibia 
and Fibula were almoft covered with a firm Cicatrix j 
the Patient at this time was well in all other refpefts, 
and was able to walk about by the Help of a wooden 
Leg, and from that time has continued in perfe£t 
Health.
