'by which means the liquor feen in the LaBeals, at the 
firftriew of them, was either of a perfect, or of a di- 
luted white, or elfe pellucid, according to the mixture 
of the meat with the water in the guts. 
I ordered about 3 pints of broth to be given a Do^y 
which hai been kept failing 24 hours, and opening him 
4 hours after this, 1 obferved the laReals, beginning at 
the Duodenum y (with which the other finall guts, and 
ftomach) was very much diftended with the matter of 
the laft meat : all the LaBeals^ that I law at firfl, were 
of a perfed white colour feveral of which I preft be-

now pellucid; fome i, or 4 which I at firft cut afunder

The fame thing fuccecded in a Z)o^ kept fafting 2 daies, 
and then open'd 3 hours after he had lapt 3 pints of 
Milk, part of which was feen in the ftomach of the Dog : 
about If of the LaBeals ^ arifing from the Duodenum ^ 
were white 5 above 100, proceeding from the Intejiinum 
Jejunum^ and Ileon, Vv^ere, more, or lefs, tranfparent ; as 
alfo were thofe of tliQ Duodenum at the latter end of the 
operation.
