theGrifties there came abundance of corrupted Mat« 
ter, whic n was the Spungy part of the Bone ; fo that 
after the fqueezing of it together, there remain’d no^ 
thing of the B ib, bat two bony Plates. 
We have feea fome certain Perfons, who had no other 
token of the Scurvey, but fome liight Ulcerations in the 
Gums : They had afterwards fome fmall, red, hard Tu- 
mours on their Hands, their inheps, and in fome other 
parts of the Body. After that, there appeared large Xm- 
pofthuines on their Groin, and under their ilrm-pits, at- 
tended with feveral Blue Spots over all their Body, wdiich 
were the certain Fore-runners of Death. We found that 
the Glandules under their Arm-pits were very big, and 
fuiTOunded with Matter or Corruption ; as well as the 
Mufcles of their Arms and Thighs, whofs Intervals 
were all Filed with them. 
We obferved fome wliofe Arms, Legs, and Thighs 
were of a reddifh Black, and as it were burnt j which 
proceeded from that black and coagulated Blood, which 
we always found under the Skin of thofe Perfons.

We aifo found their Mufcles fwelled, and as hard a?: 
Wood ; which proceeded from the Blood, which was 
fixM in the Body of the Mufcles, which were foinetimes 
fo full of it, that their Legs remained bent without be- 
ing able to extend or ftretch them out. 
We obferved that die Blue, Red, Yellow, and Bhuic 
Spots, which appear in their Bodies who have the com- 
I mon Scurvey, proceed purely from extra vafated Blood 
. under the Skin. As long as the Blood kept its red Co- 
' lour, the Spot was red ; if the Blood is black cr coagu- 
lated, the Spot is alfo black ; when there is feme Bile 
mix’d with it, the Spot is of a yellow ifli black ^ in fliort.,
