Some Time after fne was brought to Bed, and the Child 
was obfervd to have feveral reddifli or bluilh Spots, 
beginning from behind h;s Shoulder, and from thence 
running over the fame, down the right Arm to the 
Fingers. -The Captain’s whole right Side was bigger

Veins was very vifible. If he held his Arm down 
again, the Blood return’d with fome Noife, and fen-
