lybs ; but this could not be much. I then reflected 
upon the fmallnefs of the Cruiai Artery in a Dog, and 
that it was no more to be compared to the Crural Ar- 
tery of a Man, than a Cock’s-Head to a Man’s Head, 
and that a little Pledget of Lint might (top the Blood 
without more to do, as well as the Temporal Artery 
when opened with a Lancet, which vve did, and the 
Pledget of Lint Bopped it. We then untied the Dog, 
and lent him going, who ran dire&ly Home to the 
Grown Tavern in B loom f bury , from whence we had 
taken him. The MiBrefs of the Houle tore off the 
Pledgets, and had the Dog well walh’d with Butter 
and Beer warmed, lhe not knowing what had been 
done to him, upon which the Dog fell a Bleeding a- 
gain,. though not much, and the Blood Bopp’d of it 
Iclf : Mr. Ranby and I Taw the Dog in the Evening 
very well, but he ran away at the Sight of us. Thus 
far as to its outward Ufe, and I could wilh it were as' 
harmlefs within. If only, according to Helvetius, it' 
had been ordered to be taken inwardly, in frelh 
Wounds and Contufions, a Body might have let it 
pafs ; but when, without Exception, Dr. Eaton recom- 
mended it, as alfo even Sir Richard , in all inward Bleed- 
ings, I then thought it high Time to make fome Anim- 
adverfions upon it. For Sir Richard himlelf fays, 
in his Treatile of Confumptions, /. 99 and 101, That 
in Spitting of Blood there is an Orgalin, or Bimulating- 
Ferment: What is this but a Feverilh Indifpofition ? 
And is there any Hemorrhage without ? Now, if fo, 
will not Brandy and Chalybeats heighten this ? Which 
by their Heat and Stimuli brace and irritate the Fibres, 
and accelerate the Blood’s Motion. And will not their 
the Blood take up more Room, and prels harder againB' 
the Sides of the Veffels, and whatfoever oppolcs it?
