A95393	A vindication of some objections lately raised against Dr. John Colbatch his hipothesis : together with some observations on his essay of alkaly and acid and it's [sic] appendix. / By Dr. Francis Tuthill of Dorchester.	Tuthill, Francis.; Colbatch, John, Sir, 1670-1729. Doctrine of acids in the cure of diseases farther asserted.	1698 (1698)	Wing T3387; ESTC R16857	14,756	43

great_a cause_o of_o deter_v people_n from_o proceed_v in_o the_o use_n of_o they_o and_o also_o of_o attribute_v to_o they_o the_o cause_n of_o pain_n reply_v this_o i_o confess_v be_v a_o good_a

in_o your_o hypothesis_n acid_n can_v be_v take_v in_o too_o great_a quantity_n for_o the_o alkaline_n gouty_a particle_n remain_v in_o the_o blood_n indeed_o if_o all_o these_o particle_n be_v

to_o abound_v in_o the_o stomach_n here_o you_o be_v please_v to_o deny_v a_o innate_a ferment_n this_o acid_n liquor_n must_v by_o no_o mean_n proceed_v from_o the_o vessel_n or_o gland_n of_o the_o

take_v no_o notice_n of_o its_o proper_a gland_n i_o can_v see_v nature_n do_v seldom_o bungle_v in_o she_o operation_n and_o dispose_v thing_n at_o random_n therefore_o since_o she_o have_v place_v such_o a_o parcel_n of_o excretory_a vessel_n in_o the_o stomach_n it_o be_v irrational_a to_o suppose_v they_o be_v of_o no_o use_n but_o to_o come_v to_o the_o point_n i_o hope_v to_o convince_v you_o present_o that_o acid_v exist_v in_o the_o blood_n as_o well_o as_o the_o stomach_n and_o in_o order_n to_o this_o i_o shall_v have_v no_o need_n to_o carry_v they_o from_o the_o stomach_n to_o the_o blood_n as_o some_o have_v do_v but_o shall_v endeavour_v to_o prove_v they_o preexistent_a in_o the_o blood_n even_o by_o the_o rule_n of_o your_o own_o hypothesis_n we_o have_v a_o old_a

of_o all_o acidity_n for_o the_o serum_n must_v be_v its_o fountain_n i_o can_v so_o easy_o conceive_v if_o any_o thing_n be_v capable_a of_o metamorphose_v this_o alkaline_n serum_n into_o acid_n it_o must_v be_v the_o texture_n of_o the_o part_n through_o which_o it_o pasle_n but_o this_o the_o texture_n can_v do_v for_o the_o oral_a gland_n have_v nothing_o of_o a_o acid_n ferment_n in_o they_o or_o any_o alterative_a faculty_n they_o only_o separate_v such_o particle_n as_o be_v adopt_v to_o their_o pore_n it_o be_v true_a these_o particle_n before_o their_o separation_n be_v so_o

not_o in_o the_o blood_n it_o be_v very_o seldom_o that_o we_o can_v perceive_v any_o thing_n of_o bile_n in_o it_o when_o draw_v either_o by_o colour_n or_o taste_n yet_o sure_o it_o be_v never_a without_o bile_n and_o the_o liver_n do_v not_o generate_v choler_n as_o some_o ignorant_o suppose_v it_o only_o strain_v it_o off_o from_o the_o blood_n for_o if_o it_o be_v gland_n be_v any_o way_n
