Arm 141 Inches, the Wrist 7 Inches; her Wcighc 95 /. Shc had a Faceas big and broad as any Fac grown Woman of 20 Years. Her Chin andBreastwere sothick laid withfat, thatstie was forced to hold up her Head,(or rather throw it backward) as ihe walked. These Measores were all takenbefore thc Dissection. The thicknese of ehe Fat upon the Muscles of theAbdomen was 2 Inches, and not much lels upon the Sttrmrn After the Fatwasremoved (which was as much as is usually in most fat and grown Per-sons) the Abdomen wasyet very protuberant and round, and yet the sät con*tained therein not extraordinary much, neirher on the Omentum or Mesenterj:yet it was more than is usiial in well fed Perfons, and so much that with thebigness of the other internal parts (which were all of the largest size) it madeher have so big and protuberant a Belly. The Guts were all inflam’d andthick, the Liver large, the lest Kidney fwhere was the scat of her Misery)exceeding large, and double the bigness of that on the rightside; upon theDissection whereof there issued out a vast quantity of Blood, both from all theVesselsofir. andoutofits Pehir, and aster scveral times spunging of it,yetiteame flowing in from the Emulgent Artery a certain argument of agreat plenitude in the ckfeending Trunk , which causcd the Inflammation inthcMesentery, and the Nephritü in the Kidney. Here was also some Imall Gra>-vel, which possibly had choak’d up the Ureter ; though that was not exa-mined, but because there was no Blood in theBladder, I justly make thisConjecture. The Uterine Parts had nothing bigger, or more remarkablethan in others of her Age. The Tejlicles were large, but smooth and white,without protuberances orlhew ofEggs. TheBladder had a purulent Mat-ter in it. When theBreast was denuded ofits Fat, it Ihewed no bigger thanof another Child of her Age. The Cavity was totally filled with the Lungsand Heart. The Heart was well, and had very strong Fibres, and no Polj-fm. But the Längs, befldes that they were extended to 611 up the wholeCavity, were annexed strongly to several parts of the Pleura, and had scve-ral Protuberances as big as Nutmegs fill’d with a Pulp üke an Atheroma , andwere in divers places rotten and corrupted. The evident Cause of herDeath lay in the Inflammation of the lower parts, but the suddennelsthereof raust be from some Impression which that Inflammation made uponthe Original of the Nerves moving the Diaphragm , Bronchia , and otherparts of Respiration-, for her great and only Complaint was want of Breath.Besides, her very Face and Head were miscrably coloured with rcdnelsof stagnant Blood. The Head was not opened.

XIII. Sir F. L. was swell’d mightily in his Leg?, Abdomen, Stomach, nsssssss™

and to his very Throar, even to Suffocation that he dy’d. Mr. K - s was fs-,

scnt for to let out the supposcd Waters; for his Physicians had treated him ^ r s'J^ e . n sas in a Dropfy, with powerful Diureticks, &c. and 1 or 2 Pails were pro- s 'vided ready to receive the Matter ; but upon opening him, there issued forthnothing but aGulhofWind. He cut 6 Inches and a half deep of Fat onthe Peritoneum, and dy’d of a Co r pukntia nimia, being one that fed pro-digiousty.
