On the 1 8th of November, we cau r ed a Whelp to he 
bit in the lower Lip by a Blind-Worm [Cacilia] fo that 
the Blood appear’d in the Wound. The Whelp dy’dr 
indeed the fame Day $ but becaufe we had committed 
him to the care of another Perfon, we could not be cer* 
tain whether he dy’d of the Wound or not 5 and what 
increafed our Sufpicion, was, that there did not appear 
on the part that was bit any livid Colour. 
On the 1 2th of December we injefted into the Jugular 
Vein of a Dog a Drachm of Salt of Tartar diffolved in an 
Ounce of warm Water : He dy’d crying, and in Con* 
vulGons, almoft immediately. 
On the 15th of December we found a Polypus in both 
the Ventricles of the Heart of a Dog, each Polypus 
ftretching itfelf with a double Root into the Veffels of 
the Ventricle it poffeffed. Afterwards we often obfer* 
ved the like Polypus's in other Dogs. 
On the 20th of December we injefted warm into the 
Jugular Vein of a Dog an Ounce of Urine made by a 
Man faffing. The Oog was uneafy during the Ihje&i- 
on, and while the Liquor paffed to the Heart 5 but was 
not feized with any Convulfions or other ill Symptoms 5 
and being let loofe, eat Breed very greedily. 
The fame . Day we made a gentle Deco&ion of two 
Drachms of White Hellebore , well powder’d, in Spring 
Water, and evaporated it away to Nine Drachms and 
a half 5 and the next Day inje&ed all the Deco&ionj 
ftrongly preffed out and turbid, into the Jugular Vein 
of a Dog. At firft fome few Drops only paffed to the 
Heart, fome concreted Blood obfiru&ing the Paffagej 
but thofe Drops very much affe&ed the Dog, for he was 
feized immediately with convulGve Motions : But foon 
after, when the Liquor had removed what lay in its 
way, and had enter’d the Heart, it killed the Dog as 
fuddenly as if he had been fhot thro* the Heart with a 
'pullet^ for having lofen’d him prefently, to fee if any Life
