the Wme to ceafe ; fo that this turbulent motion in the Wine 
either ceafes naturally,the Heterogenious parts being feparated 
by due Fermentation^ or eUe by Sedation^ as in the experiment 
by milk,the like method feemesmoft rational in the cure of a

thicker than ordinary upon the opening of the patients vein. 
But the ^Ethiopians Ah their yoathful and moft vigburous eftate 
of health, are faid to have their blood very black, with little or

feveral perfons drawn in one day (it being a cuftome amongft
