muft equally obftrucl it in the lower part of it. See Seel. XXIX* 

 6. In the convulfive afthma theie fweats do not occur •, hence 

 they may be diftinguifhed ; and might be called the hydropic 

 afthma, and the epileptic afthma. 



9. Tranflatio puris. Translation of matter from one part of 

 the fyitem to another can only be explained from its being ab- 

 forbed by one branch of the lymphatic fyitem, and depofued in 

 3 diftant oart by the retrograde motions of another branch : as 

 mentioned Seel;. XX[X. 7. 1. It is curious, that thefe tranfla- 

 tions of matter are attended generally, I believe, wl:h cold fits ; 

 for lefs heat is produced during the retrograde action of this 

 part of the fyftem, as no fecretion in the lymphatic glands of the 

 affected branches can exift at the fame time. Do anv inefFec- 

 tual retrograde motions occafion the cold fits cf agues ? The 



o o 



time when the gout of the liver ceafes, and the gout in the foot 

 commences, is attended with a cold fit, as I have obferved in two 

 inftances, which is difficult to explain, without fuppofing the 

 new veiTels, or the matter produced on the inflamed liver, to be 

 abforbed, and either eliminated by fome retrograde motion, or 

 carried to the newly inflamed part ? See Ciafs IV. 1. 2. 15. 



10. Tranflatio laB'is. Tranflation of milk to the bowels in 

 puerperal fevers can only be explained by the milk being abforb- 

 ed by the pectoral branch of lymphatics, and carried to the 

 bowels by the retrograde motions of the inteftinal lymphatics or 

 lacteals. See many inftances of this in Seel:. XXIX. 7. 4. 



11. Tranflatio urinx. Translation of urine. There is a curi- 

 ous cafe related in the Tranfactions of the College of Phyficians 

 at Philadelphia, Vol. I. p. 96. of a girl, who labouring under an 

 ifchuria vomited her urine for many months ; which could not 

 be diftinguifhed from that which was at other times drawn off 

 by the catheter. After having taken much opium, {he feems at 

 length to have formed gravel, fome of which was frequently 

 brought up by vomiting. Dr. Senter afcribes this to the retro- 

 grade motions of the lymphatics of the ftomach, and the increaf- 

 ed ones of thofe of the bladder, and refers to thofe of Seel. 

 XXIX. of this work ; which feclion was firft publiftied in 1780; 

 and to Macquer's Dictionary of Chemiftry, Art. Urine. 



The patient above described fometimes had a difcharge of 

 urine by the navel, and at other times by the rectum, and fome- 

 times by urinous fweats.
