'different Colours,^ fo alfo the Spots appear of a different

We fometimes faw on the Bodies of thefe Perfons cer- 
tain fmall Tumours, which grew bigger everyday; we 
applied Emollient Ointments to foften them, and thofe 
Tumours on their breaking, formed a Scorbutick Ul- 
cer, which proceeded from the Blood with which the 
Tumour was filled j for as often as we took off the Plai- 
fter, we ftill found under it a great deal of coagulated 
Blood ; we put on a frefh Plaifter, and fome time after 
-we ffill found under it coagulated Blood : we continued 
•dreffing of them after this manner, and by thus taking 
away the Blood, we entirely dried up the Tumour, and 
the Perfon was cured. Some old Perfons had fucli large 
Bleedings at the Nofe and Mouth, that they died of it, 
it being impoffible to flop it, becaufc the Ljmpha of thefe 
Perfons was fo fbarp and corrofive (as I faid before) that 
it corroded and eat thro’ the Coats , of the Veins. And 
this kind of Haemorrhage was fo much the harder toffop, 
becaufe the Blood of Old Perfons is more fluid and wa- 
tery thenthat of young Perfons, who^arefeldom fubjeO:

Old Perfons, as well Women as Men, were- troubled

under them ; but if they had ffrength enough to with- 
ffand them, they were foon cured.
