––––– A young Woman about 21 years of age, fifteen years
ago had a great Load of Small Pox of the
Confluent kind after which
an Inflammation came
on her Eyes
which Continued for some years
and after it went off a Tumour
formed a Little below the Clavicle which
which continued to discharge for a considerable time, it is now heald
and some months ago a small Tumour
was formed on her neck and
broke, it seems to be superficial and discharges a Thin Ichorous
matter. At present there seems to be no fullness or hardness in any
of the Glands of the Neck.
In every other respect she enjoys very
good health.
