tom of the Wound with the lunar Cauftic, and fome 
Hours after, there followed a pretty large Difcharge of 
blackifh Blood, and immediately her Head was 
relieved, and the Swelling fubfided : A bloody Sanies 
continued to iffue out the two following Days, for 
which 1 in jetted warm Water, with a little Brandy
