f^ell'd Kidney, its infide appeared like that of a Schi- 
rus or Boyi d Liver. I found two or three large Cells, 
By filkd with grumous Bloody which proceeded from 
an Eruption of (ome Blood VeiTels before Death, which 
I am apt to think might Allaram the Patient with the 
Apprehenfions of fonne Weight falling down (as Ihe 
expreft it.) The reft of HJcera o\ the lower Bel- 
ly appeared in no ill ftaie, except the Vagina Vteri, in 
which, near the Meatus Vrir.ar 'ius was an Ulcerous Ap- 
pearance , attended with a Mortification. The left 
Vfoas Mulcle was very much lefTened by theComprefli-

the Veins, is the immediate Caufe of the Coagulation 
of the ferous p^rt of the Blood w^hich frames thefe Bo- 
dies, which from the Figure (which they acquire from 
the parts they are lodged in) are called PoOtpi ; Hence 
it is the Siftole of the Heart prevents their being fra- 
med fb large in the lef£ Ventricle and Arteries, as in 
the Right and the Veinsf the Blood being carried through 
the former with much greater force then the hiter
