yet It will pafs thither when it lays in a latent 
State in the Interftices of a Liquor : For hav^„ 
ing cut afunder in two Places a Dog’s Gut, at 
the Diftance of two Feet Length, I wafhed 
that Piece of Gut clean, by paffing of warm 
Water thro’ it 5 then tying up each end of ir, 
new frothy fmall Beer which was blood warm^ 
flowed from a perpendicular Height of 
Feet thro* the dcfcending Aorta, and thence 
after fome time, in confiderable Quantities 
into the Stomach and Guts. I found a Qiian- 
tity of it equal to two cubic Inches in the 
Piece of Gut which was wafhed and tied up 
at each end ; it was turbid and of a tawny 
Colour like the Grounds of Beer. When I 
warmed this again over the Fire, frefli Froth 
arofe on the Top of it : An Argument that the 
flatulent Air which is generated in the Sto- 
mach and Bowels, may not arife wholly from 
flatulent Food, or fome Irregularity in the Di- 
geftion of it ; but that it may in part alfo arife 
from too flatulently difpofed Secretions that 
are made into the Stomach and Guts, from 
the Glands of thofe Vifiera, If therefore there 
be at any time Air in the Blood- veffels, it may, 
by being firft reforbed into the Blood, be by 
this means difcharged from it in thefe plenti- 
ful Secretions. £ x p e-
