rhe Coronal and Bregma, over the inferior Part of 
the Coronal Suture , nigh the Squamofa. Except the 
Three or Four firft Days, the Boy continued very 
fenlible 5 but during the firft Six Weeks would very 
often complain of a violent Pain in his Head, attended 
with a Comat 0 fe^ and Fever ; but would foon go off 
again, by giving him an emollient and laxative Clyfter, 
or a gentle laxative Draught. The 6th of October 
following, before his Wound was quite well, he was 
taken very ill with the Small-pox, of the Flux-kind, 
and though he had them very fevere, and delirious 
in their coming out, yet recovered. The nth of 
November following, the Wound was perfedly 
cured ; but in the latter End feveral Exfoliations 
were taken out of the upper Part of the Coronal. He 
is now, and hath been ever fince, very well, ftrong 
and healthy -, has his Sight in both Eyes, is a very 
fenfible and forward Lad, for his Age, and has been 
upwards of Four Years at Sea, in his Majesty’s 
and the Merchants Services.
