Is not this the Way to make an Orgafrn, and caufe an 
Hemorrhage ? 
Dr. Eaton tells us himfelf in his Book, p. 57, That 
it did very much over- heat a Gentlewoman, and that 
her Bleeding Bill continued after the taking of it, and 
file might have perifhed if a Surgeon had not given 
her a cooling and aftringent Apozeme. And but juft 
before, p. 47, he complains of a Phyfician, that was

after fome Time, I faw him again, and found he had 
bled a good deal, and was ftill bleeding. I was very 
well fatisfied that, the Artery being fo very fmall, he 
would not bleed to Death, and if he had had nothing 
but Lint upon it, it would have done as well. It muft
