LX XXI. ExtraB of a Letter from John 
Huxham, M. D. F. R. S. to William 
Watfon, M. D . F. R. I S’. dated at Ply- 
mouth, February 5, 1762, relating to 
two remarkable Cafes in Surgery . 
Read April i, T Have fent you inclofed two pretty re- 
markable cafes from Mr. Thomas 
Adams, an ingenious and experienced furgeon at Lif- 
kard in Cornwall. That of the cut throat may ferve 
to make us fomewhat more ready and refolute in the 
operation of bronchotomy, when neceffary. How 
right Mr. Adams may be in his conje&ure of the 
effe&s of the fieep-pears , I will not fay ; but, from 
many well known experiments, particularly that of 
Mr. Franklin, it feems not altogether improbable.
