Experiment LXXX, 
In two other pigeons I coated the nerves 
of the wing, having previoufly divided the 
blood-vefTels. From time to time I excited 
fhocks in one of them, and which, after 
death, continued to afford fome tremblings. 
The other, which had been left to itfelf, 
was not capable after death, of being ex¬ 
cited by the ordinary procefs. 
Experiment LXXXI. 
Whilft exciting fhocks in the wing of a 
fowl, juft upon the point of dying from 
lofs of blood, the convulfions ceafed; 
but when I omitted ufing the exciter, they 
again were renewed. 
Experiment LXXXII. 
A dog was made to fwallow a quantity 
of arfenic, which caufed his death. When 
fubmitted to experiment, it could not be 
perceived
