to_o bleed_v once_o in_o two_o or_o three_o month_n the_o physician_n counsel_v he_o notwithstanding_o his_o recovery_n not_o abrupt_o to_o break_v off_o his_o ancient_a custom_n and_o the_o patient_n

alter_v or_o compound_v these_o thing_n may_v be_v perform_v several_a way_n for_o they_o may_v be_v do_v either_o by_o unite_n as_o well_o as_o one_o can_v by_o long_a digestion_n or_o frequent_a

some_o metalline_a body_n as_o copper_n zink_n and_o iron_n which_o last_o will_v afford_v a_o martial_a liquor_n that_o differ_v much_o from_o other_o preparation_n of_o steel_n that_o be_v wont_a to_o be_v make_v with_o acid_n may_v probable_o have_v some_o virtue_n distinct_a from_o those_o of_o the_o know_a remedy_n make_v of_o that_o metal_n but_o i_o can_v stay_v to_o enumerate_v the_o several_a way_n whereby_o the_o spirit_n of_o humane_a blood_n may_v be_v make_v serviceable_a to_o the_o medicinal_a art_n yet_o one_o preparation_n there_o be_v which_o though_o i_o have_v already_o

occasion_n partly_o because_o whereas_o it_o be_v former_o propose_v with_o respect_n only_o to_o the_o outward_a use_n of_o it_o i_o shall_v now_o consider_v it_o with_o reference_n to_o the_o inward_a and_o partly_o because_o by_o this_o way_n of_o proceed_v we_o may_v at_o once_o correct_v diversify_v and_o compound_v our_o spirit_n of_o blood_n this_o operation_n may_v be_v perform_v two_o way_n whereof_o the_o former_a be_v more_o simple_a than_o the_o latter_a the_o first_o be_v to_o add_v to_o well_o rectify_v spirit_n of_o blood_n a_o double_a weight_n or_o about_o a_o equal_a one_o as_o the_o liquor_n especial_o the_o volatile_a alcaly_a be_v more_o or_o less_o strong_a of_o alcohole_a of_o wine_n for_o these_o liquor_n be_v well_o shake_v together_o will_v in_o very_o great_a part_n coagulate_v into_o salt_n which_o with_o a_o very_a gentle_a heat_n will_v sublime_a in_o a_o dry_a form_n +_o in_o which_o i_o find_v it_o to_o have_v lose_v almost_o all_o its_o offensive_a smell_n and_o though_o against_o this_o way_n of_o proceed_v i_o know_v it_o may_v be_v object_v as_o be_v former_o intimate_v that_o the_o efficacy_n of_o the_o medicine_n may_v as_o well_o as_o the_o urinous_a smell_n be_v much_o weaken_v by_o this_o preparation_n yet_o i_o find_v this_o salt_n to_o retain_v a_o considerable_a degree_n of_o quickness_n and_o penetrancy_n which_o its_o volatility_n keep_v i_o from_o think_v strange_a and_o experience_n have_v persuade_v i_o that_o divers_a of_o these_o compound_v or_o if_o i_o may_v so_o style_v they_o result_v salt_n which_o some_o chemist_n call_v salia_n enixa_fw-la for_o all_o agree_v not_o in_o the_o sense_n of_o that_o name_n though_o they_o seem_v to_o have_v their_o activity_n clog_v may_v have_v considerable_a operation_n both_o in_o chemistry_n and_o physic_n and_o why_o the_o emergent_a salt_n we_o speak_v of_o may_v not_o be_v of_o that_o number_n i_o see_v no_o sufficient_a cause_n n._n b._n especial_o since_o such_o a_o kind_n of_o mixture_n though_o make_v with_o another_o urinous_a spirit_n have_v have_v such_o effect_n in_o fever_n as_o i_o think_v extraordinary_a nor_o be_v the_o liquor_n that_o our_o compound_v salt_n leave_v behind_o to_o be_v throw_v away_o since_o if_o it_o be_v dephlegm_v it_o may_v afford_v a_o not_o despicable_a liquor_n both_o for_o medical_n and_o mechanical_a use_n of_o which_o it_o may_v here_o suffice_v to_o have_v give_v you_o in_o general_a this_o hint_n and_o if_o the_o more_o simple_a way_n of_o alter_v the_o spirit_n of_o humane_a blood_n be_v carry_v on_o a_o little_a further_o by_o dissolve_v in_o the_o alcohole_a of_o wine_n before_o the_o conjunction_n of_o the_o two_o spirit_n be_v make_v a_o convenient_a proportion_n as_o perhaps_o a_o twenty_v or_o twenty-fourth_a part_n of_o a_o essential_a chemical_a oil_n as_o of_o clove_n aniseed_n marjoram_n etc._n etc._n the_o volatile_a salt_n that_o will_v be_v sublime_v from_o this_o mixture_n will_v not_o only_o be_v deprive_v of_o its_o stink_n but_o endow_v with_o the_o smell_n and_o the_o relish_v of_o the_o oil_n which_o by_o be_v thus_o unite_v with_o a_o salt_n very_o subtle_a and_o friendly_a to_o nature_n will_v less_o overpower_v and_o offend_v the_o brain_n and_o stomach_n than_o mere_a chemical_a oil_n be_v wont_a to_o do_v and_o be_v associate_v with_o such_o agile_a and_o penetrate_a corpuscle_n will_v with_o they_o gain_v admission_n into_o the_o more_o inward_a recess_n of_o the_o body_n and_o there_o exercise_v the_o virtue_n that_o belong_v to_o the_o vegetable_n that_o afford_v the_o oil_n or_o at_o least_o to_o the_o oil_n themselves_o in_o these_o odoriferous_a aromatic_a mixture_n the_o oleaginous_a particle_n be_v by_o the_o intervention_n of_o the_o saline_n one_o bring_v to_o mix_v ready_o with_o other_o liquor_n and_o even_o with_o aqueous_a vehicles_n and_o to_o continue_v long_o enough_o mix_v for_o the_o patient_n to_o take_v
