A96262	Novum lumen chirurgicum extinctum, or, Med. Colbatch's New light of chirurgery put out Wherein the dangerous and uncertain woundcuring of the pretending med. and the base imposture of his quack medicines, are impartially examin'd, describ'd, and evidently confuted and the method and medicines formerly receiv'd, and successfully practis'd, are rationally vindicated from the calumnies of his ignorant and malicious aspersions. : His experiments which he mentions, convicted of falshood; and others what their miscarriages are, annex'd; which he had craftily and knowingly suppress'd. / By W.W. surgeon.

any certain Sign that ever the Wound had penetrated And Secondly he was so far from being recovered when he come to the Hospital that had he not thet with better Treatment there than he did from him he had never recovered Remarks upon his Seventh Experiment HEre is another Person wounded in the Lungs and given over for dead by several Surgeons his Wound had been a Fortnight received and he in a very bad Condition nevertheless by twice applying his Pouder he was cured By which I perceive that his Pouder mends upon his hand for formerly it used to work no Wonders except it were first applied However to the best of my Remembrance I was told of this Accident by the Surgeon to the Regiment that not with standing his Use of both Pouder and Tincture and even that of more effectual Medicines the Person was never like to be well Remarks upon his Eighth Experiment WE are here told of a forth Person wounded in the Lungs which in my Opinion is not a little strange that amongst fourteen Accidents four of them should be upon the Lungs though I can affirm that I have seen five hundred at one time wounded and not so many among them all But perhaps these have been sent by some special piece of Providence for the trial of his Experiments although I am apter to believe that with him all Wounds in the Breast are judged to be in the Lungs and indeed he is in some measure excusable since he works by guess and finds it against his Conscience to allow of Sounding nor is there here any cleare Symptoms of this Person 's being wounded in the Lungs his spitting of Blood and Shortness of Breath being more applicable to his former Cough than his present Wound But he is pretty modest here in assigning him no determinate time for his Cure Remarks upon his Ninth Experiment WE come now to the Wonder of the whole Book A Person shot with a Bullet through the back part of his Hand and the Bones of the Metacarp all shattered and Tendons much torn and yet by some few Applications of his Pouder he was soon cured I should be unpardonable if I suffered the World to be imposed upon in this and the following Experiment having been Eye-witness to the whole Matter of Fact in both this present was thus One John Wyles in the Regiment of the Honourable Lord George Hamilton in the Company of Capt. Hay's was upon the twenty first of July Old Stile sher in the Back of the Hand the Bullet entred betwixt that Bone of the Metacarp which sustains the Middle and that which sustains the Ring-finger grasing upon the latter as it entred broke the former and in coming out rubb'd upon that which sustains the Fore-finger I went with one of his Officers to see him next Morning and he told me he had been dressed but complained of intolerable Pain Three days after I made him another visit but he had not then been dressed a second time However the first had so ting'd the Bandage and every thing else about it that it was no hard matter to conclude it a Vitriolike Medicine I saw it several times after wards but always the same colour and a perpetual Flux of crude undigested Matter coming from it When I saw it about a Fortnight after both Orifices were much contracted and some little spungy Excrescences in the Form of small Bramble-berries shewing themselves about its Circumference with still the same quantity and sort of Matter and the Patient always complaining of intolerable Pains after dressing which had then been performed four times and then the Hand began to swell considerably I visited him again the Twentieth of August with the Chaplain to the Regiment and several others I then found his Hand prodigiously swelled so that he could not so much as move one of his Fingers I asked him how he found it He answered me very well to my no small Admiration But looking about and seeing some of his Tent-mates I asked them if he was not distracted But they laughing told me that e're I came the Doctor had been there and given him two Shillings upon Condition he should make that Answer to any one who should ask him how he did The Person himself being taxed with it could not deny it but this he did also to his Comerade in the next Experiment and several others This was at the Camp at Winingham and after the long March which he mentions neither had it at that time discharged any of that vast number of Bones which himself says it discharged afterwards nor do I believe 't is well to this day Remarks upon his Tenth Experiment ANdrew Christy in the same Regiment and Company was wounded at the same time with the former For the most part I visited them both together He was shot with a Brace of Bullets one of them grazed but very superficially betwixt two of his Ribs the other after having grazed a little way lodged but very superficially also This as the other always complained of excessive Pain After Dressing as himself says they always discharged a great quantity of serous Matter I visited him the Fourth of August Old Stile and took also several others along with me when he not only complained of excessive Pains in that Side but likewise over all the rest of his Body was very feverish and I am fully satisfied although the Doctor says he was but three Weeks under Cure that he was above a Month from that time Remarks upon his Eleventh Twelfth and Fourteenth Experiments THese three Experiments I confess I am altogether a Stranger to but if there be either any such Persons or matter of Fact I shall in a very little time be able to give a full and unquestionable Account of them and they shall be published by way of Advertisements either in the Gazette or elsewhere However suppose his own Relation to be in all Points true which I do believe is more than any reasonable Person will do considering the rest have been generally false I have known far greater Cures done with less than half the noise Remarks upon his Thirteenth Experiment THe Maker has got as little Reputation by this Experiment as he hath used Truth in the Relation of it The Gentlemans Name was Lorring in the Honourable Brigadeer Lumley's Regiment He says he received a slight Wound under the right Arm-pit the Axillary Artery being also prick'd upon which ensued a large Flux of Blood A notable piece of Inconsistency a slight Wound and yet the Axillary Artery pricked He says the Blood was soon stop'd or rather pent in by Mr. English Surgeon to the Regiment however it was more than he could do afterwards by all his big Pretensions 'T is true that after some time there happened a fresh Flux of Blood which was the Occasion that he was called but at least mistakes when he says they used red hot irons to stop it though I do believe they had better
