Among the ohyeUions, (which the Author finds to be general- 
ly grounded upon lncorifiderations, miftakes, sod a fuppofition> 
as if peremptory Affirmations touching the effedls of this Tians- 
fufion were obtruded, whereas all is left to the fuccefs of Bxpei I- 
ments faithfully made ) there is one, direaed^ain# the, effeffs 
of that operation, which appeared in the young Man, who ( by 
Mr. Denys' s Relation in his Printed Letter to Monfieur de Mont- 
mor ) after he had received the Arteriall Blood of a Lamb, was 
cured of an extraordinary Lethargy y confequent to .a violent Bea- 
ver, wherein he had been let blood 20. times. And tne ohjecli- 
on is 3 That the lively apprehenfion, the faid young man had of a 
remedy fo unufuall, and whereof the fuccefs could not but appear 
very dubious tohim> and fo render him exceedingly anxious, did 
foroufe his fpirits, and put them into fuch motion, as to diiengage 
them from that embarafment, which hindred their diffufion ^ up- 
on which dis-entanglement follow’d all the other good effedls, that 
are imputed to the Trans fufion. 
To this Conceit the Anfmrer replyes, Th^t, if the Afprehem- 
fion could have cur-d this young Man, the cure would doubtlefs 
have been effe&ed 24 . hours before the Transfufton , becaule he 
then hapned to have a very great one, by falling down flairs 5 as 
was alfo obferved in Mr. Dennys his Relation of this Experiment*. 
Befides, that this Patient was noted to be fo far from apprehend- 
ing or fearing this Operation, that he did not fo much as know a 
what the Trans fufionvizs 5 but thought, the Lamb was onely ap- 
piyed to his Arm, to fuck from him his ill Bloud, as he was made 
to believe, after an ancient and ufuall way. 
To that Obje&ion, wherein fome put weight, viz. That there 
is a great difference between th eFlejh, we eat for food, and the 
Blood, that is tranfmitted immediately into the Veines 5 t \\efor- 
mer undergoing a great Alteration, which the latter does not: Our 
Author replyes , That of the three principalL Digeftions of the 
Aliment , that have been alwayes diftinguifht by Authors, the 
Firfts which is made in the Stomach, is not confiderable in com- 
parifon of the two others, which are made of the Chyle and the 
glondj in the Heart, the Liver, and generally in all the parts, that 
receive nutrition: , Which he illuftrates by this, that as theCon-
