which fwounded, and remained as dead for half a quai tei of m 
hour And when fome alledged, that the Dog died, becaufe he 
was wounded in the neck, where he could not lick himfelf, which 
re4idred his wound incureable , anfwer was given , that Experi- 
ments had been made, whereinnot only aVein was opened, but 
alfo an Artery, yea, even the jfpera arteria cut of a Dog, that 
could not lick himfelf, and yet furvived. 
This whole Account is concluded with an Admonition^that alt 
thofe, who have conveniency> would make frequent and exad 
tri^ils of this Experiment on Brutes , and carefully obferve Weight 
znd Meafurey and all other circumftanceSj, before any thing be ha- 
zarded, that may damnify the publick , and depreciate the In- 
vention. 
Ahundms cautela non mcet^ is a Maxime very fit to be- minded 
h^re 5 though feveral fuccesful Experiments have been made in 
London^ of very plentiful Transfufions and among others (ta 
mentioma fignal one) that upon a Bitchy which loft in the ope- 
ration, near ounces of bloud, and was recruited accordingly. 
This animal does not only furvive to this very day, but had ano- 
ther more fevere Experiment foon after tryed upon her, by which 
her Spleen W2is cutout, without tying up the vefTels, whence that 
^ifcus\v2s feparated : Since which time (even before the wound 
w^as healed up) flie took dog, was with puppy, and brought forcb 
whelps, and remains well and jocond, being kept for a piece of 
remarquable Curioficy intheHoufeof aNobie-man, that is as fe- 
vere in Examining matters of fad:, as he is able in Jud ging of thdi 
confequences. 
So that it is not too haftily to be concluded, that laree^ Traos^ 
ftifions are dangerous^ but rather frequent Experiments ihould 
be made-) before any thing be therein determined , with great 
as well as fmaller quantities, both upon found and fickly 
Beafts, carefully obfeiving^ how either is enduied ia either, and 
what are the Eifeds following thereon. 
Before we difmifs this6'//^j>i;/, fomething is to be Ciid of the 
Caufe, why the Curious in £;?^/W make a demnrre in pracli- 
fing this Experiment upon M^";?. The above-mentioned ingeni- 
ous Monfiear Der^js^lus acquainted the World, how this degree 
was ventured upon at Faris^ jind v/hat good-luccefs it there met 
Ggg s wth?
