I sent, however, for the most eminent physicians of Rome, amongst whom was Signor Francesco da Norcia, an old physician, and one of the greatest reputation in his business in that city. I told the physicians what I apprehended to be the cause of my disorder, and that I had desired to be let blood, but was dissuaded from it; but if it was not too late, I begged they would order me to be blooded. Signor Francesco made answer, that bleeding could then be of no service, though it might have been so... at first; for if I had opened a vein in time, 1 should have had no illness ; but now it would be necessary to have recourse to a different method of cure. Thus they began to treat me to the best of their knowledge, and with the utmost care; my disorder, however, gained ground daily, so that in about a week it rose to such a pitch, that the physicians gave me over, and directed that whatever I desired should be given me. Signor Francesco said : " As long as there is breath in his body, send for me at all hours, for it is impossible to conceive how great the power of nature is in so young a man; but even if^it should quite fail him, apply these five medicines one after another, and send for me ; 1 will come at any hour of the night, and should be better pleased to save his life than that of any cardinal in Rome.
