make_v of_o a_o horrible_a and_o frightful_a appearance_n such_o cancer_n sometime_o bleed_v either_o through_o the_o eruption_n of_o some_o vessel_n or_o from_o the_o sharp_a corrosive_a nature_n

though_o the_o injury_n be_v but_o small_a be_v increase_v to_o what_o of_o itself_o it_o may_v never_o have_v come_v to_o therefore_o be_v a_o caution_n worthy_a to_o be_v take_v notice_n of_o many_o
