The twelfth Experiment. 
Eight Days after the foregoing Experiment, the 
Dog, that was the Subject of it, was kill’d by about 
half a Drachm of Powder of Hungarian P^itriof dif^ 
folvcd in a fpoonful of warm Water, which we in- 
jeded into the Jugular Vein. The Creature dy’d on 
the fpot, with univerfal Convulfions. His Heart was 
found lull of grumous Blood reduced to a kind of 
thick Pap, but without any Clods. The Bile of this 
Dog was yellow and in little quantity. Not being able 
to injed it into the Crural Vein of another Dog, be- 
caufe the Vein was too (mall, we contented our 
felves to dip two Compreflcs in this Bile, which we 
apply’d and kept under his Skin, by two Wounds 
made on purpofe in this fecond Dog: There arriv’d 
no notable Change. We obferved in thefe two Dogs 
no Marks either internal, or external, of the Plague.
