tte other. The burnings caufed on the paper by both, were very 
near alike 5 and I concluded thereupoDj that if the bui nioghad 
any effeft in the gout, it proceeded not from any peculiar qua- 
lity in the Mojf^^.buc only from (he burning it relf,andthat ifrhe 
burning were made with Cotton^t would produce as good efFcfts 
as if made with ^loxa, 
I have taken very near the fame quantity of Moxa, Cotton^ 
and the maaer which lies within a Chefnut againfi fhe red outer 
skinthereof, and burnt them together one by the other, and I 
have feeuj that they all three, after burning, left behind theoi an 
oleous matter ^ but the MoxAxmfx: Which may proceed from 
hence, that though there Teemed to be the faiue quantity of allj 
yet the Moxa held more, it being finer than Cottofj^znd therefore 
lying clofer together , and confequently yielding more oyl. 
Whence it appears, that Mr* EuJJchcff had not fo good reafoo to 
extol the M(?;c^ and its preparation above Q(to;j or other the 
like fubftances. 
Having confidet'd the faying of Chirurgions , that Cotto.^ is 
fiery and malignant if any wound bedreffed therewith ; I have 
found, that that fierinefs or malignity confifts in this, that Cono^ 
hath two flat fides, (as was faid abovej and confequently every 
part of ic hath two (harp fides, which being thinner than g!o- 
buls, that make up the Carnecus filaments, and being alfo ftifFer 
than the globular flefii, it comes to pafs , that Cotton being laid 
upon a woundj not only the globuls of the yet found flefli are 
annoyed by the fliarp fides of it, but alfo the newMnatter which 
is conveyed to make new flefli , and is yet fofter than the flefh 
already made, is the more eafily cut afunder and diffolved ; 
whereas on the contrary, linnen-rags, having roundifli parts and 
many of them lying firm together, and fo making up a greater 
body, are not capable to wound the globular pans of the fltfh.
