suppose_v it_o be_v very_o well_o know_v that_o few_o people_n be_v trouble_v with_o a_o acidity_n in_o their_o stomach_n but_o those_o who_o use_v very_o little_a exercise_n or_o who_o business_n

you_o in_o what_o you_o have_v say_v hitherto_o but_o how_o will_v you_o do_v to_o clear_v yourself_o of_o your_o own_o seem_a objection_n which_o be_v that_o this_o acid_n substance_n shall_v be_v keep_v from_o be_v convey_v into_o the_o blood_n and_o so_o be_v the_o only_a cause_n of_o many_o disease_n answ_n i_o have_v always_o observe_v that_o those_o people_n who_o complain_v of_o a_o extraordinary_a acidity_n in_o their_o stomach_n first_o they_o make_v water_n often_o and_o in_o large_a quantity_n second_o they_o be_v very_o lean._n and_o three_o they_o be_v for_o the_o most_o

that_o liquid_a substance_n may_v be_v convey_v from_o the_o stomach_n through_o the_o omentum_fw-la or_o cawl_n to_o the_o kidney_n hence_o it_o be_v those_o animal_n who_o have_v no_o cawl_n make_v no_o water_n as_o may_v be_v see_v in_o bird_n and_o fish_n for_o the_o confirmation_n of_o which_o opinion_n i_o have_v dissect_v many_o animal_n always_o take_v care_n before_o the_o operation_n to_o gorge_v they_o with_o large_a quantity_n of_o clear_a water_n afterward_o have_v dissect_v they_o alive_a i_o have_v find_v the_o stomach_n as_o yet_o distend_v with_o the_o water_n but_o press_v the_o vessel_n of_o the_o cawl_n which_o lead_v towards_o the_o stomach_n which_o be_v cover_v over_o with_o fat_a like_a unto_o the_o milky_a vein_n be_v to_o my_o no_o little_a satisfaction_n very_o turgid_a and_o forasmuch_o as_o in_o a_o live_a body_n the_o pore_n of_o the_o stomach_n and_o other_o passage_n be_v always_o more_o open_a than_o in_o dead_a one_o where_o all_o thing_n be_v

people_n i_o have_v open_v i_o have_v always_o find_v the_o cawl_n either_o putrid_a tear_v or_o full_a of_o tumour_n the_o follow_a experiment_n have_v also_o much_o confirm_v i_o in_o my_o opinion_n viz._n that_o there_o be_v vessel_n to_o convey_v liquid_a substance_n from_o the_o stomach_n through_o the_o vessel_n of_o the_o cawl_n to_o the_o kidney_n not_o long_o since_o a_o experience_a herniotomist_n or_o cutter_n of_o rupture_n of_o hanover_n who_o name_n be_v wedle_v by_o section_n cure_v a_o certain_a person_n of_o a_o omental_a rupture_n and_o because_o a_o part_n of_o the_o

quantity_n he_o perceive_v a_o very_a great_a weight_n and_o pain_n about_o his_o stomach_n and_o be_v always_o loose_a hence_o in_o my_o conjecture_n some_o vessel_n which_o carry_v the_o urine_n right_o on_o to_o the_o emulgent_n be_v cut_v by_o which_o mean_v all_o the_o drink_v he_o drink_v be_v carry_v into_o the_o duodenum_fw-la and_o so_o hinder_v the_o fermentation_n that_o be_v there_o perform_v and_o make_v all_o the_o fibres_fw-fr lax_n from_o all_o which_o may_v be_v prove_v that_o all_o we_o drink_v and_o of_o consequence_n all_o other_o substance_n make_v very_o liquid_a in_o the_o stomach_n do_v not_o pass_v through_o the_o intestine_n to_o the_o lacteal_v vein_n and_o from_o thence_o through_o the_o thoractuck_v dust_n to_o the_o heart_n because_o the_o pylorus_n be_v reflex_n to_o the_o stomach_n lest_o the_o liquid_a substance_n contain_v in_o it_o shall_v slide_v out_o it_o be_v therefore_o certain_a that_o liquid_a substance_n lie_v at_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o stomach_n do_v pass_v through_o it_o in_o that_o part_n which_o be_v join_v to_o the_o cawl_n and_o if_o these_o vessel_n or_o the_o cawl_n itself_o be_v either_o lacerate_v break_v putrify_a or_o obstruct_v with_o oedematous_a tumour_n it_o necessary_o follow_v that_o the_o liquid_a substance_n contain_v in_o the_o stomach_n must_v be_v let_v fall_v into_o the_o cavity_n of_o the_o

from_o this_o doctrine_n may_v very_o great_a consolation_n be_v afford_v to_o people_n labour_v under_o the_o stone_n in_o the_o kidney_n and_o bladder_n and_o industrious_a physician_n need_v not_o
