Dog. He continued pretty quiet, without any fign of 
pain or uneafinefs, during the Operation 5 and when 
it was over we let him loofe, expe&ing the Event of it. 
He was melancholy and deje&ed^ but eafy and without 
any fenfible commotion, for the fpace of an Hour. After 
that, his Refpiration grew quicker, he had a murmur- 
ing Noife in his Belly, with violent Commotions of the 
Mufcles of his Abdomen, Diaphragme, Stomach and In- 
teftines, and vomited plentifully a Biliofe Matter. After 
his Vomiting he grew faint, and in a little time his 
Vomiting returned again $ fo that in an Hour and half 
he vomited four times. His Strength and Appetite were 
very weak, and he would eat nothing for three Days. 
But on the third Day his Appetite, Strength, and former 
Brisknefs returned, and he recover’d. 
Two Dogs, which had their Recurrent Nerves cut, loft 
their Barking and Voice. But doubting whether the 
Wound or Scar might not affefr and hurt the Motion of 
the Mufcles, we performed the fame Operation on ano- 
ther Dog, but without cutting the Nerves 5 and when 
the Wound was healed, he barked as freely as be- 
fore. 
A Dog that had the Nerves of the Par vttgum cut 
afunder, prefently grew deje&ed and faint. He breathed 
very flowly and with Sighs 5 for when he had drawn 
in his Breath leifurely and infenfibly, it came forth again 
immediately very forcibly and with a Sigh, as if it had 
been retained a long time in the Lungs. The Mufcles 
of the Abdomen and the Diaphragme laboured hard, as 
if they were to fupply the Defeft of the Lungs, which 
were grown almoft ufelefs by being denied an Influx of 
Spirits by the Pneumonic Nerves. The Dog refufed 
all kind of Meat 5 fometimes he vomited, or had an 
Inclination to Vomit 5 and at laft, in two Days time, he 
dyed.
