milk nor the windwoald ever enter there. 
(f,) The advantage we had from the 
Injeftion of this Compofition into the 
hiiBH^lHs, was, that we very diftinftly 
faw the figure and the whole Itrudiire of 
it, when theCompofition wherewith it had 
been filled, was refrigerated and hardned. 
For we found, that ^itdn^us did afcend 
unto the right fide of the heart , keep- 
ing one and the fame fize, which was no 
more than 7^ of an inch ^ that after- 
wards it was enlarged to| of an inch in 
diameter that in this enlargement its 
tunicic on the right fide of the vmebr^ 
was , as 'twere , pierced by four fmail 
holes, diftant^^ of an inch from one a- 
nother , and all difpofed in a row ^ into 
which holes the faid Compofition had not 
been able to penetrate • that the fame 
dn^Hs, after having retaken its firfl fize 
had two appendixes fafliioned like facks \ 
that there was yet a third appendix beneath 
the dilatation ^ ^Wthefirft and high^ 
appendix was of the form and bignefs of a 
fraall phafeolus ^ that the third , which 
ivas beneath the dilatation, was like to the 
fecondj^/^^^they had all a ftreight orifice ^ 
and that the latt was full of chyle confpif- 
fate, fo that the Compofition could not 
enter there, as it had done into the other*
