our Parts,. Ihe fell very ill, and being a Poor Girle, they 
came to me: it pleafed God I recovered her. Sametime 
after ftie returned to give me thanks for faving her Life, 
being two Perfons that were bit with the fame Dogi, 
were dead, whilft ftie remained under Cure, and there- 
fore (he was the fullier convinced (he owed her Life to 
me; but of this I (hall give a more particular Inftance 
by and by. But the Poifons of Vipers feems to be like 
the injeding of Liquors into the Veins of Creatures: 
Dr. Moulin and I made many Experiments of this Na- 
ture together, and I have made many more by my folf. 
We once I remember injeded half a Dram of Allom in- 
to the Jugular- Vein of a Dog before the Royal Society ^ 
(the Allom being only diffolved in a little Water) which 
within fomething lefs than one Minutes time was fo ab- 
foluely dead, as not to have the leaft Ccnvulfive Mo- 
tion ; and I have done the like with many other things 
befides Allom, but with fome things it is more curdled 
and broken, than with others and will differ much both 
as to colour and confidence. Salt-Petre kills much 
as quickly as Allom, but then the Blood in the Heart 
looks very florid, fmooth, and even, I wifli fome Per- 
fon of Obfervation and Leifure would profecute thefe 
forts of Experiments, and make Injeftions of the feve- 
ral things moft ufed in Phyfick into the Veins of Crea- 
tures, both in different quantities, and into different 
Veins, as into the Thigh- veins of fome Dogs, and Ju- 
gulars of fome others, and in much lefler quantities of 
fuch things as kill fuddeniy; for in the little time I have 
fpent in thefe forts of Experiments, I eafily perceive no- 
table Difcoveries might be made thereby : One Dog 
jthat lived* became Lame and- Gouty; another with 
Quick' Silver died, in about Sixteen Weeks time, Con- 
|fumptive, and I difcovered Qiiick-Silver in the Impo- 
Iflumated parts of his Lungs. Query, Whether foniCr 
Perfons that have been Flux'd,"or ufed Quick-Silver
