endeavouring to draw out the faid Needle, broke off 
the Eye thereof, and left the Needle in her Arm : 
Upon which fhe diredly applied to Mr. Tomkins , a 
Surgeon, in the fame Town, who endeavoured to 
extract it, but could not, without laying her Arm 
open, which fhe would not fuffer. About a Month 
after which fhe felt a gnawing Pain above the Place 
where the Needle ran in, and up to her Left Shoul- 
der, which lafted her Three or Four Days, and fo 
returned by Fits, till at length (about 17 Weeks ago) 
fhe felt a gnawing Pain (fhe thought) at her Sto- 
mach, which made her very fick, and reaching to 
Vomit, and continued to afflidt her (efpecially in the 
Mornings) till about the Sunday after Eafter\?SS.\ in 
the Evening of which Day fhe fanfied a Pin was got 
into her Right Breaft, in the under Part; and Two 
Days after applied to Mr. Robert Nanney , Surgeon, 
in Fetter-lane , who the fame Day lanced her faid 
Breaft, and extracted the fame Needle, as fhe verily 
believes, as having no Eye, but the Thread ftill twifted 
round it. Which Needle, about an Inch long, 
without an Eye, and with Thread ftill twifted about 
it, fhe produced before feveral ; and fhe faith, that 
from the Time of the faid Needle being fo drawn 
forth, fhe never had any Return of Pain in her Breaft, 
Stomach, Shoulder, or Arm.
