for in thefe Diftetfipers we fuppofe thé mafs of Blood to have
contraled a Saline temper, fo that every day Coagulations are
generated, according to their quality fooner, or later; It waS
very ftrange to obferve what unaccountable Ideas thofe Extrava-
fated, Bilious Particles produced irt the fore-mention’d Cafe j he
wou’d fometimes tell me at NoomDay he faw various forts of
Creatures crawling around him, vaft Cities and in them innumerable
Crouds of People Walking , Trees * and many othef
things. All which put together let us imagine that a daily Tincture
isextta&ed by the Humours from the Gorte± as was faid be-
fore, by which means the fits are weakened, until its Virtue be’-
ing fpent the Morbifick matter renews, and the Fever returns 5
hence it is eafy to fhow how Purges revive them, but if we remove
the caufe firft the effects appear no more: that thefe Diftempers,
Proteus like, put on many fhapes is evident I will only add
that intermittent Fevers, and other inflammatory Diftempers
commonly fo ftiled, may be reduced under the fame Clafs, and
differ only in degree, as the Morbifick matter is Qjüalify’d. 1 1 1
From the whole in thefe cafes the Cortex has acquired a merit
durable as time. k ,
To conclude, let US fuppofe that Natural Ferment eompofed
of a Volatile Alkaly, an Oily Succm, and ati Add, to be alter’d
in thefe Diftempers from its Natural Crafis, and converted into
a Saline temper, whence flow thofe infinite diftribances, and
perplexing Agonies, fuch a Ferment as this was prepared by me
at Oxford in Auguft, 1684, and inferted in the Philofophical
Tranfa&ions.
To which I refer you, and could not therefore but wonder at
ft late piece concerning the Ferment of the Stomach relating to
the fame matter, and the Author not haying the Ingenuity to acknowledge
from whom he had the Notion.
