In another Place he alledges, "That those who imagine they know more than others, think that by cutting, burning, scarifying, cauterizing, &c. they can more easily separate the gangrened from the ungangrened Parts: But they are much mistaken, for let them take what Course they will, they will either, on the one one hand, leave some of the gangrened Pars behind; or, on the other, they will take away also some of the sound Parts."
1753, Jean-Baptiste-Louis Chomel, translated by N. Torriano, An Historical Dissertation on a Particular Species of Gengrenous Sore Throat, page 81To give the Commission a list of gangrened members — as he had been directed to do — he would have to include the first and last senators, and all between. Rethel promised instead a list of ungangrened nonsenators who could with advantage take the senators' places and afford a better administration for the city and for France.
1957, Sydney Seymour Biro, The German Policy of Revolutionary France
