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 sound_a solution_n and_o will_v admit_v of_o no_o reply_n if_o it_o do_v but_o hang_v together_o with_o what_o follow_v for_o here_o acid_v cause_n pain_n because_o they_o be_v not_o take_v in_o quantity_n sufficient_a by_o and_o by_o they_o produce_v the_o same_o effect_n because_o they_o be_v take_v in_o too_o great_a quantity_n for_o these_o be_v your_o own_o word_n and_o for_o the_o pain_n you_o say_v you_o have_v often_o find_v to_o be_v excite_v upon_o the_o give_a rhenish_n and_o white-wine_n i_o have_v assign_v a_o reason_n for_o that_o if_o they_o be_v drink_v in_o too_o large_a quantity_n etc._n etc._n it_o be_v plain_a then_o that_o neither_o too_o little_a or_o too_o much_o acid_n must_v be_v take_v now_o i_o fancy_v it_o will_v be_v a_o difficult_a matter_n for_o you_o or_o any_o man_n else_o to_o determine_v the_o quantity_n it_o be_v enough_o to_o employ_v the_o wit_n of_o a_o virtuoso_fw-la beside_o if_o you_o remember_v what_o you_o have_v lay_v down_o 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 subdue_v then_o to_o load_v the_o blood_n with_o acid_n will_v be_v superfluous_a but_o this_o i_o fear_v you_o can_v say_v you_o ever_o experience_a i_o shall_v be_v very_o glad_a to_o hear_v you_o can_v it_o will_v be_v a_o improvement_n of_o physic_n to_o some_o purpose_n another_o object_n be_v again_o if_o the_o gout_n proceed_v from_o a_o alkaly_n what_o be_v the_o reason_n you_o use_v so_o much_o sassafras_n in_o its_o cure_n be_v sassafras_n a_o acid_n and_o so_o proper_a to_o subdue_v this_o alkaly_a answ_n i_o can_v cure_v the_o gout_n if_o there_o be_v no_o such_o thing_n as_o sassafras_n i_o only_o use_v sassafras_n in_o apozem_n as_o a_o proper_a vehicle_n to_o dilute_v other_o medicine_n in_o the_o stomach_n but_o however_o sassafras_n be_v no_o contemptible_a medicine_n and_o if_o you_o will_v but_o give_v yourself_o the_o trouble_n of_o distil_v a_o pound_n in_o retort_n per_fw-la se_fw-la if_o you_o afterward_o reckon_v sassafras_n among_o the_o number_n of_o alkaly_n i_o be_o mistake_v and_o if_o i_o be_o i_o shall_v willing_o own_v it_o reply_v that_o you_o shall_v use_v sassafras_n on_o purpose_n to_o diluto_fw-la other_o medicine_n methinks_v be_v no_o fair_a way_n of_o argue_v i_o do_v never_o distil_v any_o sassafras_n in_o a_o retort_n and_o therefore_o can_v pronounce_v nothing_o positive_o of_o its_o nature_n but_o i_o be_o of_o opinion_n that_o by_o its_o effect_n it_o may_v much_o better_o be_v range_v under_o alkaly_n than_o acid_n i_o fear_v it_o will_v be_v a_o hard_a task_n for_o you_o to_o prove_v it_o a_o acid_n which_o yet_o you_o ought_v to_o do_v to_o make_v your_o practice_n consonant_n to_o your_o hypothesis_n unless_o you_o will_v have_v recourse_n to_o it_o as_o a_o specific_a object_n i_o have_v only_o a_o word_n or_o two_o to_o speak_v concern_v the_o green_a colour_n of_o syrup_n of_o violet_n and_o so_o i_o have_v do_v i_o believe_v it_o may_v be_v turn_v green_a without_o a_o alkaly_n on_o the_o exhibition_n of_o it_o to_o infant_n it_o come_v away_o green_a very_o often_o and_o bring_v away_o a_o great_a deal_n of_o green_a matter_n by_o stool_n and_o yet_o i_o believe_v they_o do_v not_o abound_v with_o alkaly_n answ_n i_o own_o that_o upon_o the_o exhibition_n of_o syrup_n of_o violet_n to_o infant_n it_o will_v frequent_o occasion_v green_a stool_n but_o from_o whence_o do_v that_o proceed_v but_o from_o its_o mixture_n with_o the_o bile_n in_o the_o small_a gut_n and_o that_o bile_n be_v a_o alkaly_n i_o know_v not_o any_o one_o that_o doubt_v reply_v every_o body_n know_v that_o bile_n be_v a_o alkaly_n and_o of_o a_o greenish_a colour_n yet_o it_o be_v much_o to_o be_v question_v whether_o it_o occasion_n these_o green_a stool_n for_o first_o the_o colour_n of_o it_o be_v alter_v in_o the_o duodenum_fw-la by_o its_o mixture_n with_o the_o pancreatic_a juyde_n second_o if_o this_o be_v so_o whence_o be_v it_o that_o in_o adult_a person_n even_o of_o the_o most_o bilious_a constitution_n we_o seldom_o or_o never_o find_v the_o excrement_n green_a the_o yellow_a colour_n of_o the_o excrement_n be_v usual_o impute_v to_o bile_n object_n you_o may_v read_v in_o a_o late_a author_n of_o undoubted_a credit_n that_o upon_o a_o infant_n be_v swallow_v a_o do_v of_o testaceous_a powder_n a_o extraordinaray_v ferment_n be_v raise_v in_o the_o stomach_n of_o the_o child_n now_o how_o can_v this_o be_v do_v if_o it_o have_v not_o a_o acid_n to_o work_v upon_o beside_o do_v not_o experience_n show_v that_o nothing_o be_v so_o proper_a in_o infant_n distemper_n as_o alkaly_n answ_n acid_n may_v abound_v in_o the_o stomach_n and_o cause_n a_o disorder_n but_o in_o no_o other_o part_n of_o the_o body_n reply_v this_o doctrine_n seem_v to_o i_o very_o precarious_a and_o if_o i_o can_v but_o shake_v it_o a_o great_a part_n of_o your_o hypothesis_n must_v be_v in_o danger_n first_o then_o give_v i_o leave_v to_o inquire_v how_o these_o acid_n come_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 ventricle_n but_o be_v convey_v thither_o from_o the_o salivatory_n gland_n that_o saliva_n be_v a_o acid_n and_o do_v descend_v to_o the_o stomach_n be_v very_o evident_a but_o why_o you_o shall_v 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 maxim_n in_o philosophy_n nihil_fw-la that_fw-mi quod_fw-la in_o se_fw-la non_fw-la habet_fw-la how_o this_o acid_n current_n of_o saliva_n therefore_o shall_v spring_v from_o a_o fountain_n void_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 confuse_v and_o intermix_v with_o the_o other_o principle_n that_o you_o can_v make_v any_o sensible_a discovery_n of_o they_o yet_o it_o be_v no_o good_a logic_n to_o conclude_v that_o they_o be_v 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 impair_v either_o by_o schirrus_n exulceration_n etc._n etc._n the_o blood_n be_v so_o far_o from_o want_v choler_n that_o it_o immediate_o abound_v with_o it_o wherefore_o since_o bile_n be_v real_o preexistent_a in_o the_o blood_n till_o to_o its_o separation_n it_o be_v very_o rational_a to_o suppose_v that_o spital_n be_v so_o too_o for_o they_o be_v both_o percolate_v after_o the_o same_o manner_n though_o not_o through_o the_o same_o gland_n and_o indeed_o i_o admire_v that_o your_o repeat_v analysis_n of_o the_o blood_n shall_v produce_v nothing_o of_o a_o acid._n i_o have_v almost_o
