SECT. XXVII. 



Of HAEMORRHAGES. 



I. The 'veins are abforbent vejjeh. i. Hemorrhage* 

 from inflammation. Cafe of hemorrhage from the 

 kidney cured by cold bathing. Cafe of hemorrhage 

 from the nofe cured by cqld immerfion. II. Hemorr- 

 hage from venous paralyfis. Of Piles. Black Jlooh. 

 Petecbitf. 'Consumption. Scurvy of the lungs* 

 Blacknefs of the face and eyes in epileptic Jits. Cure 

 of hemorrhages from venous inability. 



I. AS the imbibing mouths of the abforbent fyf- 

 tern already defcribed open on the furface, and into 

 the larger cavities of the body, fo there is another 

 fyftem of abforbent veflels, which are not common- 

 ly elteemed fuch, I mean the veins, which take up 

 the blood from the various glands and capillaries, 

 after their proper fluids or fecretions have been 

 feparated from it. 



The veins referable the other abforbent vefTels ; 

 as the prcgreilion of their contents is carried on in 

 the fame manner in both, they alike abforb their 

 appropriated fluids, and have valves to prevent its 

 regurgitation by the accidents of mechanical vio- 

 lence. This appears firft, beccaufe there is no pul- 

 fation in the very beginnings of the veins, as is>feen 

 by microfcopes ; which muft happen, if the blood 

 "was carried into them by the actions of the arteries. 

 For though the concurrence of various venous 

 ,C reams of blood from different diftances muft pre- 

 vent any pulfation in the larger branches, yet in the 

 very beginnings of ail thefe branches a pulfation
