their_o former_a agitation_n they_o have_v the_o mean_n of_o fasten_v and_o unite_n together_o to_o produce_v obstruction_n which_o be_v the_o primitive_a cause_n of_o all_o fever_n of_o the_o

and_o which_o be_v evaporate_v by_o its_o offervescencie_n 1._o the_o feverish_a ebullition_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v sufficient_o stop_v by_o the_o terrestrial_a and_o astringent_a part_n of_o the_o

we_o have_v no_o cause_n to_o doubt_v but_o that_o the_o fix_a salt_n of_o the_o quinquina_fw-la be_v the_o true_a corrective_a of_o the_o fermentative_a acid_n of_o the_o fever_n 3._o of_o all_o

of_o all_o the_o element_n none_o be_v so_o proper_a as_o acid_n to_o produce_v that_o effect_n we_o must_v conclude_v that_o they_o be_v predominant_a in_o mixt_n which_o have_v that_o taste_n but_o also_o since_o be_v mingle_v with_o many_o liquid_a corpuscle_n they_o produce_v only_o sharp_a and_o corrode_a liquor_n as_o the_o spirit_n of_o salt_n vitriol_n alum_n etc._n etc._n that_o be_v

in_o a_o proportionable_a quantity_n can_v produce_v a_o bitter_a taste_n and_o in_o effect_n the_o more_o of_o earth_n there_o be_v in_o salt_n the_o bitter_a it_o be_v and_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o more_o it_o be_v refine_v and_o depurate_v the_o less_o bitter_a it_o be_v thus_o sea_n salt_n dissolve_v in_o a_o moist_a air_n and_o afterward_o filtrate_v through_o brown_a paper_n have_v

be_v with_o the_o acid_a predominant_a in_o a_o mix_a body_n the_o mix_a must_v certain_o be_v cool_v or_o at_o least_o proper_a to_o preserve_v the_o just_a temperament_n of_o our_o body_n but_o
