I then ihaved off all this difeafed Body even with the 
Surface of the reft of the Sternum , but found no 
Bone, it being quite diftolved and confounded with 
the Mafs of Matter that compofed the Tumour , which 
was equally protuberant within the Thorax, and 
compofed of the fame Materials. 
Part of the Fifth and Seventh Ribs were diifolved. 
in the fame Manner, into a kind of Subftance be-

cither to the Vertebra or the Ribs ; and where-ever 
they were attached, the Cortex of the Bone was de- 
ftroyed, and its internal cellular Part filled with the 
difeafed Matter. 
Immediately above the Diaphragm was a large 
feirrhous Body, lying acrofs the Spine and the Aorta,

quite up to the Bails of the Cranium, all the Blood- 
veffels were furrounded with thefe feirrhous Bodies, 
and the Thyroid Gland was difeafed in like Manner, 
and bony within. 
On the Left Side was another of thefe Bodies, made 
out of the Glandula Renalis, weighing Nine Ounces 
Three-quarters,
