rcfembled an Effulion of Blood from a Vein juft 
opened. He prefently recovered his Strength, even, 
although the Air was exceeding warm at this Time; 
and 1 faw him Five Months after, very robuft and 
healthy, and, as he told me himfelf, was free from 
all kinds of Tendency towards his old Complaint. 
But he had always the Appearance, of too much Ful- 
ne-fs, though I am of Opinion, that his Conftitution 
did not fuffer fo much as might reafonably be ima- 
gined, from fuch prodigious Hemorhages. Of my 
own Knowlege, he had no Return of his Bleeding, 
or any thing like it, the enfuing Autumn 5 but re- 
mained perfectly well all the following Winter Sea- 
fon. Afterwards I had no Opportunity of making 
further perfonal Inquiries, but was informed by an 
intelligent Man, that in March 1738 this unfortunate 
Perfon got a flight Wound again, fomewhere upon 
one of his Legs, which proved equally as difficult, 
with refped to the Flux of Blood, as the firft Puncture 
in his Foot. And, whether from too Arid a Reftraint 
of the Hemorrhage, or for want of Venefedion, he 
fell into very violent Convulfions for Four or Five 
Days, and died in a manner like Suffocation, from 
too much Redundancy of Blood. 
As this Hemorrhage never once depended upon 
any other Diftemper, or obferved any regular Com 
currence with the Revolutions of the Moon, it ap- 
pears to be a very extraordinary fi tuple ‘Plethora* 
During the Four Years that this Flux of Blood came 
from the Nofe and Inteftines, the Urine was never 
of a higher Colour than Amber 5 nor was there any 
Symptom of a Fever by the Pullc, or otherways, for 
vhe whole Term of the Difordcr.
