This Succefs has been followed by many others, 
both in our Town and in our Hofpital. I have been 
particularly fuccefsful in the latter Place, becaufe I 
am more Mailer there than any-where elfe, to fee 
my Method exactly followed, which I have hill im- 
proved fincc 1738. 
The Report of thefe Cures having fpread itfelf as 
far as Tarts, I was fent for thither in February 
1746. to attend M. Ronde , Treafurer-General of the 
Fortifications of France , who was at the laffc Extre- 
miry, by a dry Gangrene, which had fphacelated his 
Foot ,• the Caufe of which had kept him in a lan- 
guishing Way for 4 Years. M. Ronde was in a 
dreadful Condition, and I was vexed at having been 
fent for in fo defperate a Cafe : I declared it to his 
Relations, and to the eminent Surgeons who at- 
tended him : I therefore applied my Remedies to 
the Patient, at the Requeft of his Relations, only 
by way of Trial, which I publicly declared to be 
molt doubtful. However, contrary to our Expecta- 
tion, from the 3d Day there appeared plainly a Be- 
ginning of Suppuration, and a Separation of the 
Efchars. On the pth Day there was a complete 
Suppuration, and the Regeneration of the Flefh was 
even fo far advanced, that the Singularity of it raifed 
the Curiofity of fome of the fir ft Surgeons of Tar is. 
At laft, on the iyth Day my Patient found himfelf 
in a more favourable Crifis ; which, according to 
the Teftimony which M. Morand , an affiduous 
Spectator of my Cure, publicly gave of it, gave 
Hopes of Recovery in a Cafe that had hitherto 
been thought defperate.
