Fxtradl of a Letter from John Huxham, M. D. 
F. R. S. to W. Watfon, M. D. F. R. S. dated at 
Plymouth, the 10th oj May, 1763. 
I Have herewith fent you two extraordinary cafes, 
which Mr. Francis Geach, one of our furgeons! 
put into my hands fome time ago. I think there 
are fome things remarkable in them. I have fent 
alfo three of the concretions found in the gall-blad- 
der of the itteric perfon. The three others I referve 
for making fome experiments on them. They are 
all nearly of the fame fhape and fize. 
The perfon, wounded in the eye, is now confi- 
derably ffronger and better. The obfervation, that 
wounds of the brain often caufe a paralyfis on the 
oppofite fide of the body, is as old as Hippocrates, 
and is taken notice of alfo by Aretasus. 
I am very well allured that the fads are exadly 
related ; and I choofe to fend them in the words, 
nay even in the hand writing of Mr. Geach.
