1753, Jean-Baptiste-Louis Chomel, translated by N. Torriano, An Historical Dissertation on a Particular Species of Gengrenous Sore Throat, page 81: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."
1896, Melancthon Woolsey Stryker, Hamilton, Lincoln & Other Addresses, page 76:The true mind, untainted by commercial or social fictions, ungangrened by mere professionalism, loves truth and soberness, and demands real maxims and lofty aims.
1957, Sydney Seymour Biro, The German Policy of Revolutionary France:To 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.
