Creature was fent to Waterford, and committed to my 
Care. As fbon as I could get my Apparatus ready, f 
cut off his Arm (in prefence of Dr. Renet^ and Mr. Carr 
an Apothecary) as high as poffible ; then I cauterized 
the Stump, which was perfedly mortified as high as 
the Acronfion. Next Day I perceiv'd the Mortification 
fpreading toward the lower Angle of the Scapula^ then 
I rubb’d the Edges of the Mortification with arm- 
ed Probes dipt in a Solution of Argentum Vivum in 
Aq. Fort, which compleatly anfvver’d my Intention ; 
for from that time the Mortification fpread no further ; 
next DrefTing I fcarified and cauterized all the mortifi- 
ed part, and drels’d it S, A, 1 continued this Method’ 
for feventeen or eighteen Days, and then the Sloughs, 
began to leparate and caff off daily; fome time after- 
wards the Scapula began to part from the Gs fhmerv 
and CUvicula, and at length came out whole ; I was, 
then put to it what to do about the ftump of the Os 
Humeri, which ffill adhered to the TcBoralis and La» 
tiffmus Dorfi\ but in a little time it alfo feparated 
and came away, without any Hemorrhage fucceeding, 
which I expected. I was afterwards obliged to cut 
off part of the Clavicula, before I could cicatrize the 
Wound, which was (bon afterwards accompJiffied. 
I have the Scapula and Head of the Os Humeri ffill in 
my Cuffody, and have ffiewn them to many Surgeons 
and Phyficians. All Waterford is Witnefs of this Fatff, 
and they called him ever afterwards Three garters, 
$f a Man.
