Havin^ confider'd thisr Dircourle fome days by my lelf, 
and upon the iixth ot jamary laft finding a very Learned 
Gentleman at my houfe, we fell into talk ot Shortmfs of 
Breath • and I told him that the only means I could think 
of to^nfinuate the lavifible Particles of Balfam into the 
LuD^s, was to take a little piece of Silver or Copper, of 
the bignefs of a Shilling, and making a fmall hole in it, 
to fill the Cavity with a little Balfam proper for the Lungs 
of one that is troubled with a Shortnefs of Breath, and 
when that is done, let him place it upon the Tongue, and 
ftoppincT bis Noftrils, let him admit no Air into his Lungs 
but thro his Mouth, nor Refpire thro his Noftrils, by 
which means the Subtil Particles of the Balfam, which TU 
vcall the Spirits of it, may ekhale and defcend into the 
Pipes of the Lungs. • 
This Projeft of mine was approved of by the aforelaid 
Gentleman s who added, that he did not doubt but I 
fhouldftill improve it if I thought farther upon that 
After the Departure of the faid Gentleman, I took two 
Glafs Tubes, one of nine Inches, and t other of eighteen 
long, andof half an Inch Diameter. 
I made feveral Bends in thefe Glafs Tubes, and made a 
Cmall Hole at the end of each of them, fit for my purpofe, 
and in order to put it into ones Mouth, and filling it half 
full of Balfam, L placed it horizontally, that the Air paf- 
fino- over the Balfam might be convey 'd mto the Lungs, 
mol-e ftrongly tinged with the faid Balfam than it could be 
by the other Projeft. - . . ; ; \ 
But taking Counfel of my Pillow, / 1 rejeaed this way 
alfo, and the next morning I took a Glafs Tube, that was 
I % Inches long and about one Inch in Diameter, as is de- 
fign'd by Tab. 2, Fig. i . A B C D E, &c.
