[ 76 ] 
The Suppuration, the Separation of the Efchars, 
and the Regeneration of the Flefh, being all that a 
Surgeon can defire in a like Cure, I then thought 
that my Million was fulfilled, and that I might re- 
turn home, whither I was called by more material 
Affairs. I had Rcafon to repent of this Journey : 
My Patient having naturally a very voracious Appe- 
tite, I had confined him to a fevere Diet 5 but he 
could hold out no longer s and, by the Connivance 
of his Nurfe, he took various Food, and that plenti- 
fully too. This Conduct had foon ruined our Pro- 
grefs. I returned to Raris i my Rcprefentations 
were ufelefs : The Patient had lhaken off the Yoke 
of the Faculty, and of Reafon. Indigeftions enfued 
one upon another. The Loofenefs, which never left 
him after, totally fupprefled the Suppuration, and 
made him void the Matcer quite crude by Stool, and 
at laft he died. 
I was fcarcely returned to Rouen, when there came 
to my Hofpital a Patient feized with the dry Gan- 
grene, and who fo perfc&ly refembled M. Ronde 
that we commonly called him the Ronde of Rouen. 
This Cure being extremely intcrefting in all its 
Circumftances, I think. Sir, it is fit to tranferibe for 
you the Obfervation taken from a Letter which I 
wrote on the 2 8th of November 174,6. to M. Morand , 
and which he has fince made public. 
“ As this Letter has been made public by Mr. Morand , 
“ I fhall not fill up this Tranfattion with a Tranf- 
“ lation of a long Letter ^already in Print, but 
“ only give a fhort Account of the Cafe.
