This laft Chriftmas 1737, my next Neighbours 
Servant imprudently going to fearch whether a Dog 
fufpeded to be mad, had been worm'd, (which Dog 
died mad in three or four Days afterwards) was bit 
very much in both his Hands : He went to a Perfon 
near me, who has had fuch Succefs, as to be applied 
to far and near, and who told me he would venture 
his Life againft a Crown Piece, if a Man, or any Ani- 
mial, was brought to him within three or four Days 
after the Bite, that he cured him. I faw the Man that 
was bit every Morning, and he told me his Do&or 
went into the Fields, and gather'd an Herb that grew 
very near the Ground, like a dried Leaf, and mix'd it 
with ‘Pepper. I (hewed him fome Lichen cinereus 
terrefiris , and he faid he believed it to be the fame. 
Every Day he took his Medicine, about 10 or 11 of 
the Clock, he complained of a violent Heat, and Pain 
in his Head, which I was afraid was the EfFed of the 
Bite, and not the Medicine : But after he had taken it 
for fuch a dated Number of Days, he grew better, and 
has continued well ever fincc. He had tied his Fin- 
gers with Shoe-makers Ends, which are often ufed 
for a Cut 3 and they were all very much inflamed, and 
very fore. I made him take them off, and all his 
Plaifters, and wafh his Hands with Salt and Water, and 
in a Fortnight's Time they were quite well. * * * * 
If this Account fhould corroborate any Experiments 
already made, or incite the Skilful to make farther 
Search of the Ufefulnelsof the Lichen , &c, I hope 
it will excufe this Trouble from,
