Md'IMrt of the Trunk of a T ree, does not fo much fei?e to the 
produdioUof this or that Fruit-, as the laft Filtration^ that is made 
of thofe Juyces iff the final! Fibres of the Grafts ? fo alio all 
thole Digeftions j ,which are fuppofed to be made in the Stomach 
jnd'-t'he Heart- . ; of the .Liver of Animals, do not fo much ferve to 
give the particles of the aliment thofe Figures , which they require 
to be converted into the fubftance of Man, as the diver fity of fores , 
that ftraine them laft of all, and differ in the Bones, Flefli, Garth 
lagesjand other parts \ in which the Ancients for this reafon did 
. admit as many different Affimilating faculties. Now, faith he , 
though the New Bloud, which is given in the Frans fufion, under- 
goes not the firft Qonco&lon, made in the Stomach, yet it differs 
the two others, in making many Circulations together with the 
native bloud 5 and that therefore nothing hinders, but it may 
be fit to be changed into the fubftance of Man , without in- 
convenience.

Moud into a little SfameFhitch^ of 12. years of age, which, a little 
awhile after the Operation, grew vigorous and adfive, and even 
proud in lefs than eight dayes. T o which he adds a confiderable 
Experiment, lately made upon a perfon, that had been for three 
• weeks affii&ed with the complicated diftempers of an Hepatick 
Flux, a Lientery, and- a bilious Diarrhea, accompanied with a 
very violent Fe-aver • and had been attended by four Phyfitians , 
who havihg blouded, purged, and clyftered him, as much as they
