“ A friar of the congregation o f St. Philip De Neri,
“ was troubled with ulcers in his legs, the remains o f a
“ malignant eryiipelas, and an abfcefs in the bone of
“ the right clavicle, which having been opened by the
“ perfon who attended him, terminated after a long and
y painful procefs, in a fiftula. An ill-conditioned ab-
“ fcefs o f a great fize, was difcovered at the fame time,
“ fituated on the laft right rib, which was deemed very
“ dangerous to open. He had alfo a tumour feated in
“ the right axilla, another on the left hand, and others
U on the fhoulders, a pain in the fide, a hetftic fever,
“ Ihortnefs o f breath, painful refpiration, and a fallow
“ complexion, with conftant faintings and vapours,
“ which flew to the head, and often occafioned a fyra-
“ cope. Having fuffered thus, for two years, and all
“ the remedies having failed, which are called human,
“ he came to Trillo, drank the waters, ufed the baths,
“ and voided a great deal of fand. The ulcers being
“ healed, though for fome time the hectic did not fub-
“ fide, he returned the following feafon to repeat the
“ ufe o f the waters and baths ; and was perfedly cured,
“ fo as. to go home without a fiftula, tumours,, on pain
“ in the fide ; his refpiration recovered, with a healthy
H and florid complexion ; and finally with fo much na-
“ tural vigour, that eyen the iifues which he had been
“ advifed to have made, could not be kept open, not-
“ withftanding
“ withftanding every endeavour for that purpofe. The
wkneffes o f this cafe were Dr. Aquenza, Dr. Porras,
“ and the king’s firft furgeon Monfieur Legendre.”
I now clofe this narrative with a lift o f fuch plants as
Dr. Ortega tells us he found in the environs o f Trillo («).
