came away. The humour in Uiy fidnds was attended with 2lmoft
a 3 violent a 4 one in his face, which formed an entire scab over
the whole, and faelt intolerably : In short, he was in so much
misery, and without hopes of recovery (as I had had the opinion

that I despaired of his life. In gratitude for so extraordinary a
cure, I have desired this to be made public. Any person, by
