wasextreamly iacruftated by the ardour of the fever ( which 
ufually diffipates only the more tenuioiis part^ and fo ftagna- 
ting in his veffels, he wanted the motion and heat neceffary to 
volatilifethe fame, and to diffLifc a fufBcient activity into the 
Nerves and Mufcles. Accordingly my conjedtare was confir- 
med by our opening one of his Veins , for we beheld a blood 
fo black and thick iffue forth, that it could hardly form it felf 
into a thread to fall into the porringer. We took about three 
ounces at five of the Clock in the morning, and at the fame 
time we broaght a Lamb.whotQ Carotis Artery we had prepar'd, 
outof which we imttAittcd into the young mans Vein, about 
three times a,s much of its Arterial blood as he had emitted ia- 
•to the Difh, and then having ftopc the orifice of the Vein with 
a little bolfter, as is ufual in other phlebotomies, we caus'd him 
to lie down on his Bed 3 expefting the event; and as I askc 
him now and then, how he found himfelf, he told me that du- 
ring the operation he had felt a very ^reat heat along his Arm, 
and finCe perceiv'd hitnfelf much eafed of a pain in his fide ^ 
which he had gotten the evening before by falling down a pair 
of ftaires of ten fteps, about ten of the clock he was minded to 
rife, and being I obferved him cheerful enough, I did not op- 
pofe it; and for the reft pf the day> he fpent it with much more 
iivelinefs than ordinary ; eat his Meals very well, and fliewed 
a clear and fmiling countenance. He bled only 3 or 4 drops 
at the nofe, about 4 a clock of the evening, and after he had 
fupt very well, I caufed him to go to bed about 9, 'md falling 
afleep at lo^ he awakned at 2 after mid-night, and finding that 
he could not fall alleep again, he arofe at 4 in the morning. All 
this day we obfervM his humor much more lively, and the agi- 
lity of his body much greater than ordinary. Thje next day 
he flept a little more, and frpm that time h,eeafily got thevi- 
tftory over his drowfinefs, which before he had often attempt- 
ed without fucceffe ; for now he never fails to. jife very early 
without needing to be wakened. He executes iiimbly what- 
ever is appointed him, and he hath no, longer that flownefs of 
fpirit nor beavinefs of body, which before render'd him unfit 
for any thing. He grows fat vifibly, and in brief, is a fubje^ 
of amazement to all thofe that know him, agd dwell with him.
