Mr. Goodrich, furgeon in Ipjwich, July I73>- He open’d a Gnus about two inches 
downward towards the elbow, and continued to drefs it till the December following; 
he then took out this piece, which left every where, except where the wound was, as 
I judge from its appearance, portions of the external furface (from which I fuppofe 
the callus flow’d which fupply’d the place of this bone.) After the taking away of 
this bone, there was a great effuGon of blood, neverthelefs Ihe mended daily, tho> 
for two years together at times, little bits of bone came away; but being cur’d (he
