Production of every Symptom feems eafy to be ac- 
counted for. 
In T>ec. 1748, while the Morbus Strangulator ins 
was among us at Liskard , a Child here and there 
had red Puftules, not unlike the above, which broke 
out in the Nape of the Neck, and threw off a lur- 
prifing Quantity of thin traryfpai-cnt Ichor, vaftly glu- 
tinous when dry. Thele were eaftly cur’d in the Begin- 
ning, if managed aright ; but, being drawn with Cole- 
wort-leaves, or pultifed according to the Direction 
of our old Female Practitioners (too often the Cafe) 
the above-mention’d Slough was foon generated. I 
was deftred to look on a poor Perfon’s Child in this 
unhappy Situation, who, with little Inrermiffion for 
I think near two Days, had bled profufely at the 
Nofej her Pulfe was almolt gone 5 the Bleeding was 
with Difficulty ftopt ; but, being quite exhaufted, in 
about 6 Hours fhc funk in a faint Fit. The Slough 
had fpread from Shoulder to Shoulder, extended full 
a Third down her Back, and feem’d very thick. All 
treated in the above Manner died. Scarifying afforded 
no Relief. 
Now, tho’ this was not properly the Morbus Stran- 
gulatorius , yet I apprehend it was analogous to it, 
and produced from the fame Caufe; and it is likely, 
had the anatomical Knife been employed, what was 
feen on the Back of one, might have been difeover’d 
in the Afperia Arteria of the other. There is a 
Circumftance which adds to the Probability of this 
Opinion, viz. in one or more Inftances, thefe dif- 
ferent Ditorders appear’d in different Subjects, in the 
fame Family, at the fame time.
