is an Apoplexy ; when he has related the Hiftory of 
the Symptoms, and prov'd it as Ihortly as the clear- 
ing of the matter could allow of, he tells uSj that no 
kind of Apoplexy is to be Cured, but that by the dc- 
preflion of the Skull, and the Blood flopping in the 
Carotid Arteries in the Brain ; and that all Methods 
of Cure in the Paropcy/h^ ar^ ridiculous and ufelefs, 
except Smells t and Blooding in the Jugular : This par- 
tial Blooding, or the Doftrine of Revulfion and Deri-

the Blood in time of Blooding, and before there was 
any Blood let ,• and the Proportions he (ays are, as i

the Jem in Mofess time : Several other Inftances he

if there were, they cou'd not be lafting, and that if 
ever they came to decay, that they could not be re- 
paired. He alledges, that the Do&rine of Secretions 
contains nothing that's hard in it fuppofing it done, 
as he proves it in another Book, by the different Velo- 
cities of the Blood, in different Parts of the Bod^ :
