IV. A Report, when Wounds are found in divers Parts.

We A. B. C. D. E. F. Chirur∣gians of L. by Order of the Counsel, have visited M. N. whom we found hurt with five Wounds. The first was on his Head, in the middle of the Os Frontis, three Inches broad, pe∣netrating to the second Table; so that we were forced to take away several Splinters of the same Bone. The second was a∣cross his right Cheek, reaching from his Ear to the middle of the Nose. The third is on the midst of his Abdomen, or Belly, two Inches broad, and so deep, as to pierce into the Capacity, or Hollowness of the Abdomen; so that we were forced to cut away a part of the Caul, coming out thereat, to the bigness of a Wall∣nut, being also grown of a black Colour, and Putrified. The fourth was upon the back of the right Hand, with the Cutting of the Arteries, Veins, Nerves, Tendons, and Bones of that Part; for which Cause, though cured, it will always remain Lame. Tho

fifth upon the Spina Dorsi, two Inches big, with a Paralysis, or Numbness, or Deadness on all the Parts on the right Side be∣low it; for which Reason 'tis much to be feared, that the Me∣dulla Spinalis is hurt. The Pa∣tient has oftentimes Fainting and Swooning Fits, and some∣times Convulsions, Fever, and other ill Symptoms attending; for which Reason, we think his Life to be in very great Danger, (or Death is much to be feared.) In witness whereof, we have hereunto put our Hands, the 14. Day of October, Anno 1695.
