any Fluid will not fupport Life : No wonder 
then that the Lamp of Life burns more and 
more dimly, and is in further and greater 
danger of being extinguiflied, in proportion 
as that noble vital Fluid the Blood, becomes 
more and more depraved.

ftantly exprefled great Uneafineis inftantly as 
foon as the blood warm Water entered the 
Arteries, and mixed with the Blood. Hence 
if our Drink entered the Blood-veflels at

in great Plenty fecreted from the Glands of 
the Stomach and Guts, as alfo from the Liver 
and Pancreas, and from the mefenteric Glands j

fantly carrying on by infinite Mixtures in the 
circulating VeflTels, without which the Blood 
could not be diluted, but its ftrongly attraft- 
ing Globules w’ould foon coalefce.
