the_o application_n you_o will_v make_v of_o it_o but_o only_o perhaps_o for_o the_o open_n and_o dilatation_n of_o the_o passage_n that_o serve_v for_o expulsion_n of_o excrement_n in_o such_o as_o

for_o the_o critical_a motion_n which_o do_v follow_v the_o application_n of_o mercury_n in_o those_o in_o who_o a_o sufficient_a quantity_n of_o acid_a humour_n may_v be_v find_v to_o stop_v and_o

such_o as_o be_v in_o a_o state_n of_o perfection_n you_o will_v not_o at_o all_o wonder_n if_o the_o salivation_n can_v be_v safe_o procure_v in_o dry_a choleric_a or_o melancholic_a body_n that_o

it_o come_v into_o my_o mind_n that_o i_o have_v read_v in_o a_o famous_a author_n a_o certain_a dispute_n that_o he_o raise_v and_o resolve_v himself_o it_o be_v whither_o those_o that_o have_v the_o
