the flelh : in which cafe, either the animal dies not at 
all, or at leaf!; with great difficulty: as it- happen’d 
to me at M. de Reaumur’s houfe, with regard to a 
young wolf, which did not die, tho’ the arrow above- 
mentioned was ftuck into one of his thighs ; becaufe 
the poifon, which it retained from the dip, conti- 
nued liquid, and remained on the out tide of the 
wound made by the arrow in piercing the fleffi. 
Wherefore time muft be allowed to the poiion to 
grow hard on the instrument, which is intended 
to be ufed ; that fo, entering into the wound to- 
gether with the weapon, it may be there diluted, 
and carried in the courfe of the circulation to 
thofe parts which it muft affedl, in order to caufe 
death.
