Now there is extant (in Gulielmus Fabricius his fourch Century, and Obfervar. 85.) a fiftory of this varicofe Ulcer, how it was cured: the Hi- ftory he relacethincthefe very words. In the yeer 1589.

as my Arm neer unto the Hand- wrift, and almoft afpan long. But it began in his Ham, and thence defcending downward toward the Feet it fetcht a ring, and made two circumvolutions. But it was notable to obferve, that fo foon as ever be lift- edup bis Leg on high, the blood immediately reti- red; but the Leg being fet again upon the ground the blood again defcendeth, and thatin a very moment; and (tbat I may tel you in a word) the blood ebbed and flowed, no otherwife then as ifinfome bollow Pipe or Conduit it bad been

and putrefying of the “Bone, and the making of
