is affirmed in that litter about the time and place of the CeniejYm of that 
Transfufing defign-j and intimated to the Curious, that how longfoever 
that Experiment may have been conceived in other parts (which is need- 
lefs to conteft) it is notorious, that it had its birth firft ofali i n England % 
feme Ingenious perfons of the Royal Society hiving firft ftarted it^ there* 
fever al years ago, (as appears by their journal) and that dextrous Ana- 
tomift, 1>. lower, reduced it kto practice , both by contriving a method 
for the Operation, and by fuccefsfully executing the fame wherein he 
was foon overtaken by feveral happy Trials of the skilful hand of D. Ed- 
mund King , and others, encouraged thereunto by the faid Society ; which 
being notified to the world Numb. 19. and 20. ofthefe Tran faff ions, Print- 
N&vem. ip. and Decemb. 17.1666$ the Experiment was, foon after that 
time, heard of to h$ve been tried in forein parts, without hearing any 
thing then of its having been conceived ten years ago. 
'An account of feme Experiments of injecting Liquors into the Feins of Ani- 
mals, lately made in Italy by Signior Eracaifati Profejfor of Anatomy at 
Pifa. 
1 . Having infufed into the Jugular and Crural Vein of a Dog fome Aqua 
fort is diluted, the Animal died prefently 5 and being opened, all the bloud 
in the Veffels was fixed, but that in the guts not fo well. It was alfo ob- 
served, that the great veffels were burft , perhaps by an effort of Nature ? 
even as in the greateft part of thofe that die of an Apoplexy, the veffels of 
the Lungs are found broken. Upon which Experiment the Author maketh 
thefe Reflections : Firft, That an Apoplexy being often caufed by a like 
Coagulation of the blond (as hath been obferved by the opening, made of 
fun dry perfons, who died of that diftemper) it might be cured by a time- 
ly infufing (ome Diffolvent into the veins. Secondly , That it is likely, 
that that ufeful fecret,by which Monfieur de Bills differed Animals with- 
out any effufion of bloud, confifts in fome fuch Infufion. 
2 . There was afterwards infufed into another Dog fome Spirit of Vi- 
triol, which had not fo prefent an effect *, for the Animal complained a 
great while, and foam’d I ke Epilepticks , and had its refpiratiefi very 
thick i and obfer.ving the beating of his breaft, one might eafily judge, 
the Dog buffered much : who dying at laft, his bloud was found fixed 
in the veins, and grumous,refembling foot. 
3; Then there was injected into a Dog fome Oyl of Sulphur: But he 
died not of it, though this Infufion was feveral times tried upon him. And.
