First sentence: "A Gentlewoman of the . . . city [of Basil]," wrote Robert Burton over three hundred ago, "saw a fat hog cut up; when entrails were opened, and a noisome savour offended her nose, she much misliked, and would no longer abide: a Physician in her presence told her, as that hog, so was she, full of filthy excrements, and aggravated the matter by some other loathsome instances, in so much this nice Gentlewoman apprehended it so deeply, that she fell forthwith a vomiting, was so mightily distempered in mind and body, that with all his arts and persuasions, for some months after, he could not restore her to herself again, she could not forget it, or remove the object out of her sight."0
