of the morbid Bones. 
But the Work was far from being finifhed, as, 
upon the Extra&ion of the foremention'd loofe Bones, 
it appeared that we had a Fungus fprouting as well 
from the Circumference of the medullary Cavity 
above and below that Part of the Bone we had ope- 
rated upon, as from the callous Expanfion over its 
outward Surface occafioning a greater Difcharge of 
Sanies than our Patient's Strength could fupport$ 
that our Opening in that Cavity was not yet fuft 
ficient to difcharge all the Matter that was depofited 
in it, as well through a fiftular Opening in the in- 
ternal Part of the Bone anfwering to the Axilla 2 as 
another fbmewhat lower over the large Veffels that 
run upon the Surface of the Bone internally, that, 
being fhelter’d above and below, we could not come 
at them without inlarging further the Opening we 
had in the Bone externally. This laid us under the 
Neceflity of inlarging this Opening in its upper and 
lower Part, fo as to bring in View the fore-mention’d. 
Thefe were inlarged with a Fere helium, without any 
Hazard of wounding the large Blood-veffels, which 
were fhelter’d by the callous Expanfion lining the 
carious Bone on this Side : And having thus render'd 
eafy the Difcharge from all thefe Cavities, we had 
nothing to ftruggle with then but the Running 5 
which from this time became daily kfs 5 that from
