the outward Skin 5 opening difcover'd it in mod of 
thofe that I had the curiofity to examine. Several of 
thefe I found broken, and upon a little prefiure obferv'd 
the Mercury to run out, and with it a little Sanies ; but 
upon a pretty ftrong preffure, I obferv'd that a great 
quantity of that Sanies iffu'd out. 
When I open'd the right Ventricle of the Heart, I 
found fome Particles of the Quick-filver in the very midft 
of coagulated Blood lodged there, and in that alfo con- 
tain'd in the Arteria pulmonale. I obferv'd moreover 
blood coagulated after a very different manner ("which I 
want words to expreft) from what I have feen at any 
other time, notwithftanding the various Methods I had 
us'd to coagulate it, and this in the Interfaces between 
the Columns of the aforefaid Ventricle 5 and in this a 
greater quantity of Quick.filver than any where elfe in 
the Dcg. This Coagulum was in the Vertex of the Ventri- 
cle , adhering pretty clofely to the Columns and Parte- 
tes. 
Opening the left Ventricle, I found a very tenacious 
Blood coagulated and flicking firmly to the great Valve, 
including the Tendons of it, and a little refembling a Pd- 
Ijpm. In this Ventricle I fearch'd diligently for Mercu- 
ry, but found none 3 whence it may appear, that the Mer- 
cury pafs'd no farther than the extremities of the Arteria 
pulmonalis: This occafion'd the aforefaid Blifters, and 
forced its way through the common Coat of the Lungs, 
partly by its weight, and partly by the propulfion of 
frefh Blood to the fame extremities which by the Mer- 
cury were ftop'd in its motion,and confequently forced its 
paffage through that which moft readily gave way, 
namely the common Coat of the Lungs. 
I open'd the afpera Arteria down to the very Bron ? 
chte, but could find no Mercury in it, though I fearch'd 
diligently for it. Each of the fubdivifions as well as di- 
vifions of the Bronchia: was fiU'd with a Sanies, which
