A third may be given of a Leucopblegmatz‘a, arifing out of an Ulcer of Repelling Me; the Lungs, proceeding from the repelling of ill .Humours affeéting the 'Skin of the Head, by the undue application of Topicks Without the adminifira~ tionof Univerfals, as Purging, Bleeding, Sweating, (7c. . A A Child of ten Years old, born of noble Parents, was afflicted With a Seabby Head ( which is familiar to Children) Iirnprudently Cured by an old Woman, applying drying and repelling Medicmes, whereupon the Saline Particles being received into cutaneous Jugular Veins with the Blood, and dicines outs wardly appli- ed are uanifc, iFUnivcrfals he not firllrirw fcribcd. then was carriEd by the defcendent Trunk of the Cave, into the right Ven- tricle of the Heart, and f0 by the Pulmonary Arteries into the Lungs, which were Ulcered by the faline Particles of the Blood (repelled, originally from the Scabby Head) with which the purulent Matter being impor- ted by the Pulmonary Veins, into the left Ciflzern of the Heart, and thence difperfed by Arterial Trunks and Branches, into the Mufcular parts of the Body, produced an Anafarm. A Branch of a noble Family, was often afflicted with a great difliculty of Breathing , tending to Sufl‘ocaf tion, which at laft gave an end to his Breath: Whereuponthe Abdomen being opened, a great Liver prefented it fell; and a Spleen divided into many Lobes (which is rare) the Inteflines turgid With Wind, and groITer Excrements; and his Brealt being opened, his left flde was full of'femus Blood, and the left Lobes were fixed to the Ribs, and both werevrtiated with various Colours of Green and Black, and the fubfiance of his Lungs Was filled with purulent Matter (the origen of the Amtflzrta) difpenfed "into the habit of the Body. _ The more remote Caufes of the Anafarca, may proceed Ab cxcretzr 6N retentir, either from too great an cxpenfe of.
