now, in the fecond place , examine, what is the Con- 
fequence, what the EfFec3:s, of all this (laughter. 
I. The Experiments 6t the firfl: kind do fufficientlf 
prove, that the LaUeals convey not only Chyle (which 
refults from aliments lately taken into the ftomach , 
and may be call'd Liquor Novititis , ) but alfo another 
humor feparated (as is moft probable ^ from the blood, 
and now returning to it again ; which ( by means of 
the aforefaid Experiments, ) may be feen purely by it 
felf, without any mixture of Chyle with it. 
As to the place,where this liquor l^efluus ( for fo we will 
hereafter term it ) parts from the blood i particularly 
whether it be a Lympha ^ properly fo CalFd , arifing in 
the mufculofe Veines of the Inteliines P Or whether it be 
a liquor emptied into the hollow of the Stomach ^2inA.

giformes, and perhaps the L/t'^r ; or thirdly whether it 
proceeds partly the former, partly the latter, way i is a

the firft obferver of the LaBeals appearing fometime& 
limpid, like Lymphatics, has thele words in tavor of the

prelent, it feemsnot unreafonable to derive at leaft part 
of this Liquor from the hollow of the Intefiines y if we 
confider, that the Pancreas , and Glandularum Plexus 
Fragiformes, ( not to mention the Liver ) do daily dif- 
charge a liquor into the Intefiines ; which ( conlider- 
ingthat Dogs, after three daies fatting, will, as I have 
often obferv'd, have very hard feeces in their IntelHna
