    • 1745, Iohannis de Gorter, Chirurgia Repurgata:
      Quoniam putrefacta medulla in cavernis oſsium hærens non poteſt exprimi, ut feri poteſt ex parte molli, continua manet ſcaturigo, unde ulceris per- tinacia, & recrudeſcentia.
      Since the putrefacting marrow cannot be removed from the inside of the bones which it is clinging to, — as would be doable were it soft — a constant flowing is to be seen, hence the ulcer's persistence and reopening of the wound.
