A33709	A physico medical essay concerning alkaly and acid so far as they have relation to the cause or cure of distempers : wherein is endeavoured to be proved that acids are not (as is generally and erroneously supposed) the cause of all or most distempers, but that alkalies are : together with an account of some distempers and the medicines with their preparations proper to be used in the cure of them : as also a short digression concerning specifick remedies / by John Colbatch.	Colbatch, John, Sir, 1670-1729.	1696 (1696)	Wing C5003; ESTC R26032	33,359	174

in_o due_a time_n confirm_v the_o texture_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o reduce_v the_o serum_fw-la to_o a_o state_n of_o fluidity_n by_o which_o mean_v the_o fever_n and_o inflammation_n of_o the_o lung_n be_v take_v off_o and_o the_o extravasated_a globule_n of_o blood_n by_o mean_n of_o a_o thin_a serum_fw-la assist_v by_o its_o quick_a motion_n in_o that_o part_n when_o in_o a_o fluid_a state_n be_v by_o degree_n carry_v off_o and_o so_o the_o pustle_v disappear_v but_o it_o may_v be_v object_v how_o come_v it_o to_o pass_v that_o the_o break_a globule_n of_o blood_n you_o so_o often_o mention_n come_v to_o be_v admit_v along_o with_o the_o serum_fw-la into_o the_o gland_n of_o several_a part_n and_o that_o they_o can_v by_o the_o same_o reason_n be_v carry_v off_o to_o the_o part_n design_v along_o with_o the_o serum_fw-la or_o lympha_fw-la as_o it_o be_v style_v when_o it_o once_o come_v into_o the_o lymphatic_a vessel_n to_o which_o i_o answer_v that_o when_o they_o be_v first_o admit_v into_o the_o gland_n i_o mean_v the_o break_a globule_n come_v just_a out_o of_o the_o extremity_n of_o the_o artery_n and_o be_v then_o very_o hot_a the_o side_n of_o they_o be_v lax_n and_o so_o in_o some_o measure_n capable_a of_o be_v compress_v or_o squeeze_v together_o but_o be_v once_o admit_v into_o the_o gland_n the_o motion_n of_o the_o serum_fw-la from_o they_o through_o the_o lymphatic_a vessel_n be_v very_o slow_a they_o soon_o grow_v cool_v and_o so_o more_o firm_a and_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o different_a figure_n of_o these_o break_a globule_n from_o the_o pore_n by_o which_o the_o serum_fw-la be_v to_o pass_v from_o the_o gland_n to_o the_o lymphatic_a vessel_n they_o be_v not_o suffer_v to_o pass_v through_o with_o the_o serum_fw-la as_o in_o the_o forementioned_a instance_n of_o the_o mixture_n of_o oil_n and_o water_n so_o that_o the_o globule_n be_v extravasated_a and_o without_o motion_n corrupt_a from_o which_o corruption_n proceed_v all_o the_o ill_a sympton_n i_o have_v mention_v to_o accrue_v from_o the_o break_a globule_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v admit_v into_o the_o gland_n but_o to_o return_v to_o the_o business_n of_o acid_n to_o confirm_v the_o truth_n of_o what_o i_o have_v say_v beside_o my_o own_o observation_n i_o remember_v riverius_n that_o famous_a practitioner_n somewhere_o say_v that_o he_o have_v several_a time_n cure_v a_o confirm_a pthisis_n or_o consumption_n by_o give_v only_o of_o large_a quantity_n of_o conserve_v of_o red_a rose_n well_o acidulate_v with_o oil_n of_o sulphur_n per_fw-la campanam_fw-la and_o now_o i_o be_o speak_v of_o oil_n of_o sulphur_n per_fw-la campanam_fw-la give_v i_o leave_v to_o add_v a_o account_n that_o helmont_n give_v of_o it_o in_o his_o arbour_n vitæ_fw-la which_o although_o it_o have_v not_o any_o immediate_a relation_n to_o the_o point_n in_o hand_n yet_o may_v be_v pertinent_a enough_o to_o show_v the_o good_a effect_n of_o acid_n in_o keep_v the_o blood_n in_o a_o good_a texture_n and_o by_o that_o mean_n prolong_v life_n and_o preserve_v we_o from_o disease_n moses_n who_o perhaps_o understand_v the_o mystery_n of_o nature_n as_o well_o as_o any_o man_n and_o who_o be_v guide_v by_o a_o unerring_a infallible_a spirit_n say_v that_o in_o the_o blood_n be_v contain_v the_o life_n now_o the_o texture_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v confirm_v and_o its_o globule_n whole_a must_v go_v a_o great_a way_n towards_o the_o prolongation_n of_o life_n but_o on_o the_o contrary_a the_o texture_n of_o the_o blood_n be_v spoil_v and_o its_o globule_n break_v which_o they_o be_v by_o alkaly_n must_v in_o great_a measure_n shorten_v life_n and_o occasion_n disease_n in_o the_o year_n 1600._o say_v helmont_n a_o certain_a military_a man_n be_v burden_v with_o a_o great_a number_n of_o small_a child_n make_v his_o complaint_n to_o i_o that_o he_o be_v 58_o year_n of_o age_n and_o that_o if_o he_o shall_v chance_v to_o die_v his_o

i_o consider_v with_o myself_o that_o a_o light_a match_n of_o brimstone_n will_v preserve_v wine_n from_o corruption_n therefore_o i_o conclude_v with_o myself_o that_o the_o acid_n oil_n of_o sulphur_n do_v necessary_o so_o contain_v this_o flame_n of_o sulphur_n and_o all_o the_o smell_n of_o it_o that_o itself_o be_v nothing_o else_o mean_v the_o acid_n spirit_n or_o oil_n but_o the_o
