Gland is necefifary for the Lymph of the falival Duff, 
and the glandulous TapilU of the Tongue for the 
Liquor that diftilsfrom them. In Quality of Glands f 
they are the Receptacle of thofe Liquors : As nervous 
‘PapilU, they furnifh the Spirits neceflary for the 
Fundtions of thofe Liquors. All thefe Truths are 
proved in the Work above-cited. Let us now come 
to the Confequences of this Stru&ure. 
As long as the glandulous c Papill£ are found, their 
excretory Pores pour forth the Lymph according as 
their Cavities receive it from the Lymphatics: But 
if thefe Pores happen to be obftrudted by a Difeafe; 
if the Surface of thefe Grains is altered by any Ero- 
Eon 5 or if the natural Tone of thefe Solids is per- 
verted ; the Lymph brought into thefe Grains will be 
retained therein: It will ftretch thefe Globules; their 
Subftance, having loft its Elafticity, will eafily give 
way ; the nutritious Juice, which they will not be able 
to drive farther, will be there aflimilated, and will 
contribute to the Dilatation. In fine, a Veficle will be 
formed filled with Lymph , or an Hydatide y fucb as 
thofe we have examined. 
This Congeftion of Lymph , or Hydatides , will 
not fail to foften, relax, and raife up the Membrane 
that covers them ; and thus a Bag will be formed like 
that which we found. 
When an Hydatide fwells to a confiderable Size, the 
Volume of the Fluid will become difproportioned to 
the Force of the Teguments; thefe will be burft by 
the Shaking of the contained Fluid, upon the lead 
Motion of the Body. This Fluid will extravafate into 
the common Bag, upon opening which the Waters 
and Membranes , which refult from that Rupture, 
will be found.
