Sicknefs, and even Death itfelf^ will be the Cdnfequence 
of it 5 for if we do but confider what a deal of Phlegm 
^e difcharges in that Sickacfs which we call a Gold, and 
iir it be Greenifii it is almofl: a Poruleot Matter, which 
comes out of jlie Air Veflels of the Lungs, we are prefent- 
/ly frighted at it, and. with reafon, for the Difeafe may 
proceed fo far that a Confumption of the Lungs will fol« 
low. " 
My lafi: long Sicknefs was fach a- Coldj.. and it ftuck fo 
clofe to me; and I voided fo much Green Phlegm that I 
was afraid I fliould never recover it 5 but I ' am now fo 
well,- that in the moroing when I coo'gh, it is nothing but 
a' dear thick Matter of the qaantity of a Grey Pea ^ from 
whence I conclnde, that the Blood circulates naturally and 
freely thro the very fmalleft of the Veflels of my Lungs, 
and that that cieirMatter is nothing but an exhalation thro 
th€ Fibres of -the fine Blood- Veflelsy and is the Serum of 
the RIood. 
Having lately fmeit fome Cinnamon that was pounded 
in my Houfe, I thought of what Dr Bontekoe fays about 
that Spice's being a greatitrengthener of the Heart. I took 
therefore a fine {5iece of Cambrick, and put into it about 2 
Thimbles full of ftrong,and well beatenCinnamon,and tying 
it up, placed it in the Giafs Tube,Tab.2.Fig. i. BCGH. 
Then I fet my mouth in that part of the Tube, markt 
and drawing in my breath at the fame place, I could plain- 
ly perceive the invifible exhaling particles ot the Cinna- 
mon to defcend into my Lungs. 
This Cinnamon being thus derived into the Pipes of the 
Lungs, we can'c fay that it ftrengchens the Hearty but ra- 
ther the Lungs, unlefs we v/ill affirm that the one partakes 
of the advantage of the other*
