I fearch’d the Abcefs with my Probe, and twifted 
out with it a Matter like Saw-duft, or Brann, mix’d 
with Hair. 
Upon laying open the Breaft, l feparated a Cyftick 
Tumour, which weigh’d eight Ounces, and contain’d a 
folid Matter like the above-mention’d, mix’d with a 
Body like Hair. 
Upon Enquiring into the manner of its coming, fhe 
told me, that eight and thirty Year ago, fne receiv’d a 
Bruife in that Breaft by a Fall from a Horfe, which 
was attended with great Pain and Fluxion , info- 
much, that the Veins of her Breaft appear’d Varicous 
and Turgid, as in a Cancer ^ but her_Pain ceafing, they 
funk, and left an Indolent Tumour in her Breaft, fup- 
pos’d by her Surgeon to be a true Scirrhus : Since which 
t roe it hath always continued nearly in the fame 
State, without pain, encreafing very little in Magnitude, 
but obftru&ed in fucb a manner that fhe could not nurfe 
her Child with that Breaft. 
The Tunic was pretty thick, nourifhed with very 
fmall Veffels, but had form’d a Scirrhus of the 
Glands it adher’d to, by keeping up a Diftention of 
Parts, till there was a Cohefion of their Membranes 
and Veffels. 
I make no doubt, but this was a Body of difeas’d 
Glands, which had fuffer’d a Colliquation by fome ex- 
travafated Fluid, and that the Membrane of the Tumour 
was their Proper Tunic. 
After this manner all our Tunicated Tumours feeni 
to be form’d $ for when an Obftru&ion proceeds to Ex- 
travafation, there is a Liquor pour’d out which con- 
fifts of fuch Particles, that by degrees makes a Colli- 
quation of the Glandulous Flerfi, which is not very fen- 
fible of Pain 5 and by degrees the Capfula becomes di- 
ftended with a Matter of a very different Confidence, .
