Of this whole number four have died; one of 
which was a patient of mine, who, I am inclined to 
think, did not do juftice to this method ; but that 
is fubmitted to better judgment; for the day, on 
which the operation was performed, the patient’s 
blood had been heated violently by exercife, and fud- 
denly chill'd again, by putting on clean linen, juft 
before the operation was performed ; which, I ap- 
prehend, is receiving the infection in an inflamed 
ftate of blood : but with this I was not the leaft ac- 
quainted, till about flx hours before the patient’s 
death.
