132 FARCY. 



That they are right muft be admitted ; and 

 that they are fo is the lefs extraordinary, when 

 a very fuperficial furvey of the cafe will evi- 

 dently prove it would be a difficult tafk to 

 be wrong. One author gives us many pages 

 replete with figurative defcriptions, and runs 

 through the whole animal mechanifm to de- 

 mon flrate the caufe very clearly, but unluckily 

 never draws nearer the point than to prove 

 what a writer of more modern authority 

 LEARNEDLY tclls US in two lines, that *^ the 

 ** true FARCY is properly a diftemper of the 

 ** blood veffels, which generally follows the 

 •* track of the veins/' What infinite fatisfac- 

 tion muft it afford every reader, to be in- 

 formed from the fountain head of inftrucftion, 

 that *' the blood veffels generally follow the 

 ** track of the veins !'* Aiixious for inform- 

 ation, and open to convid:ion, I receive the 

 intelligence with gratitude ; and, although my 

 retentive faculties are deceptive and imper- 

 fedl, I jQiall exert their utmofl: influence 

 to preferve, in high efteem, fo excellent a 

 monitor ; making no doubt but it will prove 

 highly fatisfadory to the cuRiotJS to be in- 

 formed they need not look for a diftemper of 

 the blood veffels in the *' TRACK" of the 



inteftines.
