UPON the whole, the PROGNOSTICK of this _Case_ is, that as the _MOLE-BEARING Woman_ must in all respects, be very much discommoded, and afflicted with heavy threatning _Symptoms_, so she lives continually in Danger of her Life: And the longer she entertains this unwieldy GUEST, the more rigid it grows, and the closer it sticks to her; so that consequently, the more difficult it is to dislodge or extract this _præternatural Body_: For as the MOLE has no _Secundine_, nor _Umbilical Vessels_, but adhering by its own gross _Substance_ to the oppress’d WOMB, attracting its _Nourishment_ directly from the _Uterine Vessels_; So it also fixes it self more and more strongly, and the longer the more firmly among them, to the great Prejudice and Damage of NATURE. NOW, as to the _Cure_, or the _Delivery_ of the MOLE, as has been said, the _sooner_ it is undertaken, the easier it is performed: And in this _Case_, I know all _Authors_ advise only, to endeavour its _Expulsion_ by _Bleeding in the Feet_, _by proper Baths_, _by strong and Acrid Clysters_, &c. in order by such like _means_, to excite or stir up THROWS to open the WOMB and irritate the _expulsive Faculty_. But for my part, I would not too much afflict the PATIENT with these uncertain _means_, especially if the _Præternatural Body_ be of any long standing; but rather at once betake my self, to that which cannot fail me, _that_ is the HAND-CURE; after Bathing, relaxing and moistening the PASSAGES with _Oils_ or _emollient Ointments_: And _This_ I would undertake, and perform after the same manner, as in the _Condition_ of a _Dead Child_, when the PAINS are altogether _Deficient_. Again farther—— I observe that, of all the _Countries_ I know, there is none, whose _Women_ are so subject to MOLAR CONCEPTIONS, as the _Provinces of Holland_: And moreover, by what I have diligently observ’d my self in those _Parts_, as well as by what I have comprehended from their most _Learned Men_, the _MOLES_ generally conceived there, are very different from _Others_ commonly conceived in _other Parts_; Insomuch that _Those_ are of a strange, astonishing, deformed _shape_, having (as it were) something in them like the _Rudiments_ of a _Work imperfectly begun_; such a _Piece_, as, for Example, a _Limner_ may draw at the first _Draught_, with a rude _Pensil_; together with something of both _Life_ and _Motion_: LIVING however only (as it were) _Vitâ Plantæ_, and moving but by _Palpitation_; as I have also seen and observ’d this _Body_ to contract it self sensibly at the _Touch_, and immediately again dilate it self perceptibly. In the _interim_ I must farther observe in this Place, that most commonly NATURE ejects these _Bodies_ happily about the _fourth Month_; however yet, not always _all_ at once, but most frequently by _Piece-Meal_ and in _Heaps_, not unlike as the PUMP does the _Bilge-Water_ out of the _Ship_.
