the Bones^ as this hath, I think fit to fubmit it to 
your Coniideration. The Cafe is as follows : Yefter- 
day there came a Boy of a healthy Look, and about 
Fourteen Years old, to ask of us at the Hofpital, what 
fhould be done to cure him of many, large Swellings 
on his Back, which began about Three Years fince, 
and have continued to grow as large on many Parts 
as a Peny-loaf, particularly on the Left Side: They 
arife from all the Vertebra of the Neck, and reach 
down to the Os Sacrum ; they likewife arife from 
every Rib of his Body, and joining together in all 
Parts of his Back, as the Ramifications of Coral do, 
they make, as it were, a fixed bony Pair of Bodice. 
If this be found worthy your Thoughts, it will afford 
a Pleafare to.
