oreiVd in the common manner. The lame was done 
to the other patient, after the amputation, as to this. 
The fird of thefe men died. on the fifth day, and 
the other on the ninth: but there did not appear, 
thro’ the whole, the lead tendency to an haemor- 
rhage. Thus the remedy fairly produced its effects, 
as to the hopping the blood. 
However, in order to determine the manner, in 
which this adringent produces its effedt, I examined 
the blood-veffels of thofe two patients after their 
death, and I found them contradted and ftraiten’d, 
as if they had been tied, and in the larged of them 
a conic coagulation of the blood, which was an inch 
and half long : and after having taken out this coagu- 
lation, it was with difficulty, that I could introduce 
the point of a very fmall probe into the orifice of that 
veffel. 
The patient, who died on the ninth day, had the 
arteries contradted in the fame manner ; but with this 
difference, that the congelation was at lead four 
inches long. 
Mr. Morand has employed this remedy with fuc- 
cefs, in applying it to a wound, made by a fword, in 
the bending of the arm : and I myfelf have made ufe 
of it, with great fuccefs, on occafions, where the tem- 
poral and intercodal arteries have been open’d. 
In the lad-mention’d cafes, I applied but one 
piece of the dyptic upon the opening of the artery } 
and this generally falls off at the fird drefiing, that is, 
forty-eight hours after the application, without the 
lead appearance of an haemorrhage, or other ill fym- 
ptoms, whicli can raife any objedtions to this dyptic ; 
for thofe patients are all recover’d.
