I have known Hypochondriack and 

 Hyfterical women complain of great 

 Degrees of Coldnefs^ that would 

 fuddenly invade fome particular 

 part, chiefly of the Head or Back, 

 and be for a good while trouble- 

 fome there. And that, if a frigori- 

 fie vapour or matter be exceeding 

 fubtile, an inconfiderable Quantity 

 of it being difperfed through the 

 bloud may fuffice to produce a no- 

 table Refrigeration , I have learnt 

 by Inquiry into the Effe&s of fome 

 Poyfons 3 and 3 cis not very material^ 

 whether the Poyfon , generally 

 fpeaking, be cold or hot 5 if it meet 

 with a body difpos'd to have thofe 

 aflfe&ions that pafs for cold ones 

 produced in it. For I have made a 

 Chymical Liquor, that was pene- 

 trant and fiery enough to the Tafte, 

 and had acquired a Subtlety and 

 brisknefs from Diftillation y with 

 which I could alraoft in a trice, gi- 

 ving it but in the quantity of about 

 a drop , caft an Animal into that 

 which appear'd a fleep, and the like
