it_o very_o necessary_a to_o return_v to_o the_o use_n of_o our_o first_o inward_a remedy_n which_o have_v strike_v the_o great_a stroke_n and_o have_v have_v a_o manifest_a good_a operation_n i_o mean_v the_o volatile_a salt_n of_o viper_n this_o be_v in_o the_o morning_n of_o the_o four_o day_n after_o the_o bite_n so_o we_o give_v he_o half_o a_o drachm_n of_o that_o salt_n dissolve_v in_o four_o ounce_n of_o carduus_fw-la water_n and_o we_o order_v that_o he_o shall_v be_v well_o cover_v to_o make_v he_o sweat_v this_o medicine_n do_v work_v according_a to_o our_o expectation_n and_o desire_n for_o the_o patient_n not_o only_o do_v sweat_v abundant_o but_o find_v a_o very_a considerable_a amendment_n in_o all_o the_o ill_a symptom_n that_o have_v remain_v his_o pain_n about_o the_o navel_n be_v almost_o not_o sensible_a the_o tumour_n of_o his_o lip_n and_o that_o which_o be_v in_o the_o region_n of_o the_o liver_n breast_n and_o under_o the_o armpit_n vanish_v and_o that_o of_o the_o shoulder_n arm_z and_o hand_n be_v much_o abate_v as_o well_o as_o the_o redness_n and_o pain_n we_o thence_o judge_v that_o we_o shall_v certain_o cure_v the_o rest_n and_o to_o compass_v it_o we_o give_v the_o next_o morning_n to_o our_o patient_n a_o like_a dose_n of_o that_o volatile_a salt_n of_o viper_n which_o make_v he_o sweat_v again_o very_o large_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o navel_n cease_v altogether_o the_o swell_a of_o the_o shoulder_n be_v whole_o go_v and_o that_o of_o the_o whole_a arm_n and_o hand_n be_v yet_o much_o more_o abate_v as_o well_o as_o the_o redness_n and_o pain_n and_o not_o to_o leave_v the_o cure_n imperfect_a though_o the_o patient_a find_v himself_o exceed_o amend_v we_o give_v he_o the_o next_o day_n another_o such_o dose_n again_o and_o the_o day_n follow_v one_o more_o whereby_o the_o whole_a swell_n all_o the_o redness_n and_o all_o the_o pain_n of_o the_o arm_n hand_n and_o the_o finger_n itself_o be_v dissipate_v mean_v while_o there_o be_v apply_v to_o the_o finger_n a_o little_a plaster_n to_o cicatrise_v the_o incision_n that_o have_v be_v make_v there_o and_o which_o be_v heal_v three_o or_o four_o day_n after_o which_o do_v not_o hinder_v the_o patient_n to_o go_v abroad_o and_o to_o do_v his_o business_n as_o well_o as_o if_o he_o have_v never_o be_v bite_v by_o the_o viper_n those_o that_o shall_v read_v this_o history_n and_o examine_v all_o the_o circumstance_n of_o it_o the_o several_a and_o surprise_a accident_n of_o the_o bite_n of_o the_o viper_n which_o we_o see_v and_o the_o effectual_a operation_n of_o the_o remedy_n employ_v to_o remove_v they_o will_v therein_o find_v ample_a matter_n to_o exercise_v their_o reason_n upon_o and_o will_v soon_o judge_v that_o we_o have_v cause_n accurate_o to_o inquire_v as_o we_o have_v do_v into_o all_o the_o part_n of_o a_o viper_n to_o know_v they_o well_o and_o what_o they_o can_v do_v to_o make_v a_o great_a number_n of_o experiment_n upon_o all_o its_o part_n and_o to_o apply_v ourselves_o to_o the_o preparation_n of_o the_o excellent_a remedy_n that_o may_v be_v draw_v from_o the_o body_n of_o this_o animal_n the_o extraordinary_a effect_n of_o its_o volatile_a salt_n in_o stop_v and_o in_o overcome_v first_o of_o all_o the_o venom_n which_o so_o violent_o exercise_v its_o tyranny_n over_o the_o natural_a heat_n and_o all_o the_o noble_a part_n and_o which_o doubtless_o will_v have_v altogether_o triumph_v over_o they_o the_o activity_n penetration_n and_o force_v of_o the_o same_o salt_n go_v to_o find_v out_o the_o poison_n and_o expel_v it_o from_o the_o remote_a part_n of_o the_o body_n where_o it_o have_v fortify_v itself_o and_o whence_o it_o endeavour_v to_o regain_v the_o place_n it_o have_v lose_v and_o where_o in_o the_o mean_a time_n it_o seem_v to_o despise_v the_o ordinary_a most_o powerful_a remedy_n all_o this_o i_o say_v be_v sufficient_a to_o make_v it_o to_o be_v wonder_v at_o and_o man_n will_v doubtless_o aver_v that_o the_o ill_a which_o viper_n be_v able_a to_o cause_n and_o which_o every_o one_o may_v easy_o avoid_v be_v nothing_o in_o comparison_n of_o such_o a_o remedy_n as_o the_o same_o viper_n can_v furnish_v and_o which_o may_v serve_v not_o only_o to_o heal_v their_o bite_n but_o also_o to_o overcome_v many_o other_o obstinate_a disease_n against_o which_o the_o ordinary_a remedy_n perform_v nothing_o not_o to_o speak_v of_o many_o other_o good_a preparation_n make_v of_o viper_n which_o we_o intend_v to_o describe_v hereafter_o experiment_n of_o the_o bite_a of_o viper_n upon_o other_o animal_n chapt_n ii_o experiment_n upon_o dog_n the_o effect_n that_o be_v surprise_v be_v wont_n sensible_o to_o touch_v the_o mind_n of_o man_n and_o they_o be_v they_o which_o excite_v the_o curious_a to_o inquire_v into_o the_o cause_n of_o they_o and_o although_o this_o do_v always_o precede_v those_o yet_o it_o will_v not_o be_v know_v and_o we_o shall_v not_o so_o much_o as_o be_v aware_a that_o it_o be_v if_o the_o effect_n thereof_o do_v not_o first_o appear_v be_v therefore_o to_o treat_v of_o the_o bite_a of_o viper_n we_o hope_v it_o will_v not_o be_v think_v amiss_o if_o we_o begin_v with_o the_o recitation_n of_o the_o experiment_n by_o the_o example_n of_o its_o effect_n and_o not_o to_o be_v tedious_a to_o the_o reader_n have_v review_v all_o that_o have_v be_v experiment_a at_o my_o house_n both_o the_o last_o and_o this_o year_n i_o shall_v confine_v myself_o to_o what_o i_o think_v deserve_v most_o to_o be_v communicate_v what_o serve_v most_o to_o our_o purpose_n and_o what_o may_v give_v most_o satisfaction_n to_o the_o curious_a one_o of_o the_o most_o considerable_a experiment_n be_v make_v on_o a_o dog_n which_o be_v bite_v by_o a_o anger_v viper_n at_o the_o upper_a lip_n the_o dog_n be_v not_o much_o move_v at_o it_o at_o first_o but_o little_a by_o little_a grow_v sad_a and_o his_o jaw_n begin_v to_o swell_v a_o little_a while_n after_o he_o vomit_v up_o the_o last_o food_n he_o have_v take_v and_o dung_v then_o some_o bread_n flesh_n and_o water_n be_v offer_v he_o he_o will_v touch_v none_o of_o it_o he_o remain_v in_o a_o prostrate_a posture_n without_o complain_v the_o place_n of_o the_o prick_n wax_v livid_v and_o this_o lividness_n extend_v itself_o to_o the_o neck_n and_o as_o far_o as_o the_o breast_n as_o do_v also_o the_o swell_a at_o length_n he_o die_v but_o not_o till_o forty_o hour_n be_v pass_v after_o the_o bite_n his_o belly_n appear_v not_o swell_v and_o without_o we_o observe_v nothing_o extraordinary_a but_o the_o tumour_n and_o lividness_n in_o the_o part_n prick_v and_o thereabouts_o the_o dog_n be_v open_v after_o his_o death_n we_o find_v in_o the_o tronc_fw-fr of_o the_o vena_fw-la cava_fw-la a_o little_a blood_n curdle_v and_o we_o note_v that_o the_o rest_n of_o the_o blood_n in_o this_o place_n in_o the_o heart_n and_o every_o

hour_n after_o he_o have_v be_v bite_v we_o see_v outward_o nothing_o un-common_a but_o the_o lividness_n and_o swell_a at_o the_o neighbour_a part_n and_o thereabouts_o but_o have_v open_v he_o we_o
