 of found men. 



Peculiar relations fublift between tlie throat 

 and the parts of generation, thougli we are to- 

 tally ignorant of their caufes. Eunuchs have 

 no beard ; their voice, though iliong and pier- 

 cing, can never reach a low or deep tone. Se- 

 cret difeafes often appear in the throat. The 

 remarkable fympathy which fome parts of the 

 body have with others, though at a diftance, 

 and of a different nature, is a fubjed; too much 

 neglcded : \Ve are apt to dcfpife effed:s, when 

 we cannot eafily difcover their caulbs. Hence 

 it is, that v/e never think of examining thefe 

 relations or fympathics, although they are the 

 proper fpring of the anlm.al conhitution. In 

 females, there is a remarkable fympathy between 

 the uterus, brcafts, and head. How many 'cu- 

 rious and ufeful fads of this nature might be 

 difcovered, if phyficians paid more attention to 

 this intereftlng fuhjed: ? It would produce more 

 enlightened views, and a more extenfive utility, 

 than can ever be expeded from a mere regifler 

 of anatomical names. It is impofhble to difco- 

 ver the principles of animal motion : The fprings 

 "which give life to organization are not to be 

 found in the mufcles, veins, arteries, and nerves, 

 defcribed wnth fuch minutenefs by anatomifts. 

 Organized bodies are poffefl'ed of internal powers, 

 upon which the grofs laws of mechanifm have 

 no influence. Inftead of attempting to difcover
