of the fuperior and inferior Part of the Leg. Ac Jaft 
a black Circle was feen round about the Mufcles of 
the Hip as an indication of an approaching Putre- 
faction. This Circle appeared fo vifibly, as if it had 
been cut oft with a Knife from the other Part. It- 
has ever fince fpread it felf, and come to fuch a 
head, that without any other help and cure the Flefli 
began gradually to roc away from the Bones; and

Leg which has preferved it’s foundnefs. After this 
nothing was feen but the bare Tendons or Sinews*

all there is as yet but little feeling or warmth in 
the Poor.
