He complained only for the firft day of a pretty 
fharp pain in the courfe of the tendon ; to which 
compredes, wrung out of warm brandy, were ap- 
plied : but his arm was never dwelled ; there was no 
ecchymojis ; nor had he fo much fever, as to require 
bleeding even once. The cure proceeded happily, 
no fymptoms arifing from the extracted tendon. At 
the third d reding the bone was covered ; and no 
other application but dry lint was necedary during 
the whole time. No exfoliation happened ; yet it 
was twelve weeks before it was intirely cicatrifed, 
owing to the lofs of fkin : and he feems to enjoy 
the ufe of the dump as completely, as if that tendon 
was not lod.
