contra6ling itfelf, while the immediate inferior is di- 
lated ; and this Motion is carried on in leveral Parts 
of the Guts at the fame time ; and the contrading 
Part, hy expelling the Blood and Chyle out of its Sides, 
in its Contradion looks pale, while the Parts dilated 
look florid, and the VelTels full of Blood 'm.^ Chyle* 
Now the Part contrading muff neceffarily force the 
Chyle from the grofler Parts of the Food or Aliments, 
towards the inner Surface of the Guts^ where the per- 
forated capillary Extremities of the Ladleals in the 
villous Coat are ready to admit, or rather to abforb 
it by Attradion, as far as the larger and viflble Branches 
of the Ladleals on the Coats of the Giits^ into which 
it eaflly flows in the Time of Dilatation, or Diaflole, 
which expands and unfolds thefe Veflels at that Time 
for its eafy Reception , from which it is farther pro- 
pelled by the next Syftole, or Contradion, into the 
primary or firfl Order of the La^eals in the Mefen- 
tery 5 -and by the fame repeated Iiripulfes of the 
contrading Sedions of the Guts, is forced farther 
through the fecond Order of LaBeals in the Mefen- 
tery, into the Receptaculum Commune, and the Tho-‘ 
racic DuB ; aflifted by Valves, and promoted by the 
inceflant Motion of the Mufcles, and of all the Con- 
tents of the yihdomen and I^horax in Refpiration, it 
is at laft poured into the fubclavian Vein^ for a perpe- 
tual Recruit of the Blood in a healthy State. 
But if the firft Movers in this Series fail, that is, if 
the mufcular Fibres of the Guts have loft their peri- 
ftaltic Motion, as in this Cafe, then the Exprellion, 
' Abforption and Progrefs of the Chyle defcribed, can- 
not fucceed, the Blood muft be deprived of its Re- 
cruit, and the Perfon die ftarved j which, as I have
