Fifthly^ If it be fuppofed that fuch a finall Wound 
through the Integuments and Mufchs of the Abdo- 
men and the Perlton^jeum^ was capable of producing a 
Fever, then his not having any Symptoms of a Fever, 
muft be owing to a total Defed of Bile and Chyle in

of theOBconomy, in the other : As Nature has provi- 
ded two Kidneys, and double Organs of Senfe, for the 
fame Reafon. But the Eflred will not be tlie fame in 
a Wound, which is the Reverfe of an Obftrudion ,, 
becaufe by a perpetual Evacuation through it, fuch a 
R.evulfioh and Derivation is made, as drains and de-
