perfons fully acquainted with the manner of employ- 
ing their apparatus, and many of the experiments 
Were feveral times repeated. 
After what has been done here at London, at Paris, 
and at Wittemberg, with the like fuccefs, thefe expe- 
riments, I prefume, cannot, to unprejudiced perfons, 
but be conclulive, that the miraculous accounts from 
Italy and Leipfic had no foundation in fadt ; and 
that no method has yet been difeovered, whereby 
from electricity the powers of medicines could be 
made to infinuate themfelves into the human body. 
This conclufion however does not, nor is meant to 
operate, againft the advantages faid to be gained by 
electricity itfelf. So fubtil and fo elaftic a fluid ad- 
mitted in a large quantity into our bodies, as, from 
undoubted experience, it greatly heats the flefh, and 
quickens the pulfe, may, more efpecially when aflifted 
with the expectation of fuccefs in the patient, in par- 
ticular cafes be attended with very great advantages.
