obfervifig, that in the midft of his Sleep, being fome- 
'times feized with a Convulfive, Motion of his Dia- 
pbragme and other Mufcles that help Refpiration , he 
would bark ftrongly as if he were awake, and in a little 
time would be quiet^gain: So that in lefs than a quar- 
ter of an Hour his Heft would be difturbed 3 or 4 times 
with this violent Barking. But confidering this more 
attentively, we found that at the very time he barked, 
he was as void of Senfe as before $ for we could neither 
make him Bark, nor leave off Barking, by either belt-

Thus in three Hours after the Inje&ion, fpent in Sleep-

found their Lungs filled with a very thick Froth. 
February tljjjflzyth, we inje&ed 10 Drachms of highly

The Dog died in a very little time, very quietly, and as 
it were with pleafure, licking his Jaws with his Tongue, 
and breathing quick, but eafily, without barking, crying, 
or any Convulsive Motion* In the Vena cava and right
