 the artery by its pulfation. 



Having feparated the flefh from the artery, 

 I flit it up longitudinally, and found that the 

 little grume of clear blood was of a firm con- 

 fiftence, of a lively red, in form of a cone or 

 fugar-loaf, the bafis of which adhered to the 

 little inclofing membrane which fhut up the 

 artery without -, the point of which floated in 

 the cavity of the reffel -, and I further found 

 the coats grown thicker at their extremities. 



At length, in order to try whether the fuppu- 

 ration of the wound would not open the orifices 

 of the arteries again, which were juft flopped 

 up by the remedy, I let the firft horfe live, 

 which was the more vigorous of the two, un- 

 til a perfect fuppuration was eftablifhed, which 

 proved that it did not, in the leaft refpect, hin- 

 der the cicatrifing of the arteries.
