This had a pretty good effcd ; but here in England^ 
where every Man is at liberty to difpofe of his Cattle 
as he plcafes , nothing but making them fenfible that it 
was each Mans particular intereft to comply with thele 
Methods cou*d do ; this, tho’ true in fa<S, yet the Rea- 
der will readily judge to be very difficult among fuch a 
Number ; but the Gentlemen fpared no labour to ac-

Smell, but of a greener Colour. Their Pancreas's were 
ihrivelled, (bme of the Glands obdrutded and tumi- 
fied. Many of the Glands in their Mefenterys were twice 
or thrice their natural bignefs. Their Lungs were a
