To the former Cure, tho' somewhat before that, I shall add another like it. Some Devonshire men of the better rank, about the year 1676 came to Bath, partly out of curiosity to see the Baths, and partly to accompany one of the number that came
for cure of his lameness; after a week or fortnights use of the Bath the lame man in good mea∣sure recovered, but one of the sound having a full body, and being in the nature of a Guide to the lame man, staying in the Bath longer than usual, fell lame. Being called to the sound man that was suddenly taken lame, I acquainted him with the cause, and giving him such purging and strengthning medicines as could be used in Bed, he was brought so forward, as that he might safely use the Bath again, and in ten times bathing in the same Bath, recovered that motion which for a time was wholly lost; so that like the so much fam'd Achilles his Spear, that made him sound, which gave the wound.
