V. The postscript of a letter from George Martin, M. D. to William Græme, M. D. F. R. S. giving an account of the operation of bronchotome, as it was performed at St. Andrews

Abstract

I was called to a young lad, who being in such a good state of health, as to be then making a visit to some of his comrades in another street, was all of a sudden taken ill with a violent trouble in his throat; in which however, I could see nothing wrong, the amygdalæ, and other parts in view, being in all appearance sound enough, but only looking a little drier than ordinary; without any external tumour appearing about the larynx, and no considerable-frequency or strength in his pulse.
