The pharynx and cardiac orifice of the ftoiriacK 
Were a little inflamed and excoriated ; but the cefo- 
phagus and ftomach teemed in no manner affebledi 
I gave this dog an half pint of milk juft before I 
poured down the lead; very foon after which alfo 
he eat thereof freely, as if nothing ailed him ; which 
lie daily continued to do, being very lively at the 
time I killed him. 
From the crop of a full grown fowl, I (in' com- 
pany with Dr. Huxham, F. R. S.) extracted of lead- 
one folid piece, weghing two ounces and a half, to- 
gether with nine other fmall portions, weighing half" 
an ounce, which lead was thrown down the fowl’s 
throat twenty-five hours before. 
The fowl was kept without meat for twenty-four 
hours, before and after the experiment, eating (be- 
ing very lively juft before we killed him) dry bar- 
lev, as fafl, and with nigh, if not quite, the fame 
eale as before. 
The mucus on the larynx and cefophagus was ' 
fomewhat hardened. 
The external coat of the crop appeared in a verv 
fmall degree, livid-; and the internal, fomewhat cor- 
rugated. 
The barley was partly in the cefophagas, tho’moftly 
in the craw, which was almoftfull with the lead. 
I took two ounces one fcruple from the crop 7 
of another fowl, three days after the experiment, 
which fowl was verybriik to the laft. 
Allowing, for a further fatisfadtion, that the ex- 
periment be tried, it is requifite in making thereof,, 
that the melted lead be poured into a funnel, whofe 
fpout bung as large as the throat of the anima!
