VI* Extract of ci Letter from Dr. Deidier, co?z- 
cerning an Experiment made with the &le of Der^ 
foils dead of the Diague. Communicated by Dr. 
Woodward. 
W E caufed two Dogs to fwallow a pretty large 
Qiiantity of the Bile taken from the Bodies of 
Perlbns dead of the Plague. 
Upon this the Dogs appeared heavy and melan- 
choly, reflifed their Food, and made Water very often, 
elpecially when they were any ways diflurb’d. Their 
Urine was thick and very fetid, and their grols Excre- 
mejits were tinged with the black and grecnilli Bile, 
which they had fwallow'd. But in a few Days thole 
Accidents went off, and the Dogs recovered their per- 
fect Health, though they were all the Time confin’d 
in a Cellar belonging to the Dilpenfary, in company 
with the other Dogs that we tried our Experiments 
upon.
