told me, That when a Child, being extreamly troubled with the Kings-Evil, she was Touch’d by King Charles II. but lhe was nothing the better;but Mr. Grealrix perftctly Curecl her. A Smith near us had two Daughtersextreamly troubled with the Evii, the one in the Thigh, and the other inthe Arm ; he cured them both .' One of them lives stili here ; lhe is a Hcal-thyWoman, and the Mother of several Children. The Sears of the EviiSores still remain on her Arms, tho’ it is 20 Years since it was cured;Cnee when the never had any Symptoms ot it.

Where Mr. Grealrix Stroakt for Pains, he used nothing but his dry Hand ;if Ulcers or running Sores, he would use Spittle on his Hand or Finger ; andfor the Evii, if they came to him betöre it was broke, he Stroak’d it, and or-der’d them to Foultest it with boil’dTurneps, and so didevery Day till it grewfit for Lancing, he then Lanc’d it, and with his Fingers would squeezeoutthe Cores and Corruptiori, and then in a few Days it would be well withonly his Stroaking of it every Morning; but if it were broke before he sawthem, he only squeezed out the Core, and hcaled it by Stroaking. Such aswere troubled with Fits of the Mother, he would presently take off the Fit,by only laying his Glove on their Head; but I never knew any that he curedof that Distemper, for their Fits would return; but I have heard he curedmany of the Falling Sickneß, if they stayed with him, so that he might seethem in 3 or 4 Fits, eile he could not Cure them.
