See Suppl. Artie. 8. pag. 338. And Haller, in his Bibl. Chirurg: Tom. 2. p. 260, enumerating the contents of Puzos’s posthumous volume, says that he has written, “ De apostemate s. metastasi lactea, novo morbo, ex quo frequenter oedema femoris & cruris nascilur Puzos, in his first Memoire sur les Depots laiteux, appelles communement Lait Repandu. printed \ \ * ' / t$
