fomc Things in general, concerning the 

 Way and Manner by which an animal Body is fullained 

 and nourifhed, and thereby render'd fit to perform the feve- 

 ral Fundions of Life. I Ihall therefore fum up this Abridg- 

 ment with a brief Account of the Circulation of the Blood, 

 and its Difliribution into all Parts of the Body. And in- 

 Order thereunto, I fliall not only ftudy Brevity, but endea- 

 vour to make the Diibourfe as eafy and intelligible as pof-

 Stomach, and the Drink, help to keep it moift ; fo that

 its mufrular Fibres, perpetually rub one againil another, 

 and by the AflilUnce of the mclofed Air, all the Parts 

 and Particles of the Food are greatly feparated. The 

 grofl'er Parts are carried downwards by the Periftaltick 

 Motion of the Gut?, the Prefiirre of the Alidriff, and Muf- 

 clesof the lower Belly, and are voided at the Fundament, 

 while the finer Parts conftitute that white milky Subitance 

 which v.-e call C^v.V.
