apt to ferment with the bile 5 and therefore, when the aliment 
has been a fufficient time under the fermentation, excitexl by 
the Saliva, it is then thrown into the 2)uodenum, where it 
meets with the bilious juice, which flows into that mtcftine 
from the liver, from which a new fermentation feems to arife^ 
and the commotion of the parts of the aliment being Hill con- 
tinued, carries on the bufinefs of digeftion, untill the food is 
perfe<^ly conceded 5 tho' it is probable, thit this new fermen- 
tation ferves not only for the more perfe(51: digeftion of the food, 
but likewife for the feparation of the chyle from the feculent 
parts; and the Dr. was confirmed in this opinion, that from 
the mixture and fermentation of the two juices, which confti- 
tute the Saliva^ there refults a matter which is apt to ferment 
with the bile, by the following experiment; the bile being 
generally allowed to have much of a faponaceous nature, he 
made a Iblution of foap in fair water, which he mixed with the 
oils of turpentine and vitriol firft put together, and from their 
mixture he obferved a very eafy and gentle fermentation, 
which continued for a confiderable time.
