Upon Examination, 1 found the Stomach empty, and 
feme Parts of the Duodenum, but the fejunum and Ilium 
io much diftended with the fermented Oat- Ale, that the 
Ilium had four Inches of Diameter, and the Colon above 
eight. 
The Ilium was alfo pretty much inflam’d in its infe- 
rior Part; and all the Valves of the Colon were oblite- 
rated, by the great Diftention of that Inteflin, 
But the greateft Difafter was, the Dilatation made in 
Diaphragm, as I fuppos’d ; made jufl: upon the Chink 
which remits the intercoftal Nerve to the l^i[cera of the 
Abdomen, through which a Portion of the Colon was 
forc’d, and the greateft Part of the Omentum and Pan- 
creas. 
Thefe tender Parts being choak’d, foon inflamed, a 
Mortification of them following ; and a Rupture of the 
Pancreatick Vein caus’d an internal Hemorrhage, which fill’d 
all the left Cavity of the Thorax, infomuch that the 
who’e left lobe of the Lungs was comprefs’d almoft un- 
der the Muf cuius Scalenus. 
The Quantity of extravas’d Blood was very great, 
and it was not in the leaft coagulated. 
I have brought the difeas’d Parts with me, to fiiew 
the Society the Certainty of this Account, and I fliou’d 
have been more particular in proving the Impoffibilicy 
of the Antiperi^altick Motion ; if Dodlor Hagumot had 
not prevented me by his Memoir. 
This Gentleman is not far from Truth, and what he 
fays is certain : but I am furpriz’d that the like Cafe 
has not occurfd in his Prat^ice*
