could not be impelled thro’ the finer capillary 
VelTels, befidcs many other Inconveniences 
that might be enumerated. But the Extre-

for in fome Places they do not form a Net- 
work ; fo that the Pafl'age of the Blood from 
the Arteries may be in a very different man-

II. Since from Experiments^^ and XVI, 
it is found that where Water has long pafs- 
ed thro* the Arteries, it is apt to contrad the 
Veffels by dilating the adjoining Parts 5 and 
fince in Experiment XX II I, Numb. 7. it is 
obferved that when the Coats of the Stomach 
have been thus filled with Water, on blow- 
ing up the Stomach that Water has flowed out

it (hould therefore feem a good Method, to

and emptied, and thereby righdy prepared
