A66821	An enquiry into the causes of diseases in general and the disturbances of the humors in man's body wherein the nature of the blood, of the air and of a pestiliential constitution are briefly considered : together with some observations shewing wherein the venom of vipers, particularly that of the English adder does consist / by Stanford Wolsterstan.

let_v we_o next_o inquire_v how_o it_o do_v enter_v human_a body_n and_o there_o be_v four_o way_n by_o which_o it_o be_v common_o believe_v the_o air_n may_v enter_v they_o either_o first_o by_o its_o mix_v its_o self_n with_o what_o we_o eat_v and_o so_o be_v carry_v to_o the_o stomach_n or_o second_o it_o be_v receive_v by_o inspiration_n into_o the_o lung_n and_o so_o be_v carry_v to_o the_o heart_n or._n three_o by_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o body_n and_o from_o thence_o to_o the_o mass_n of_o blood_n or_o last_o in_o inspiration_n to_o the_o ventricles_n of_o the_o brain_n the_o two_o first_o of_o which_o i_o think_v be_v only_o true_a as_o to_o the_o first_o i_o think_v it_o be_v undoubted_o true_a that_o the_o air_n do_v or_o aereal_a particle_n do_v mix_v themselves_o with_o what_o we_o eat_v for_o whatever_o we_o eat_v must_v have_v numerous_a pore_n or_o else_o we_o can_v never_o chew_v it_o with_o out_o tooth_n nor_o digest_v it_o in_o our_o stomach_n or_o separate_v chyle_n from_o it_o and_o i_o believe_v the_o air_n may_v sometime_o enter_v these_o pore_n however_o it_o do_v enter_v the_o mouth_n and_o be_v press_v down_o the_o oesophagus_n either_o by_o the_o aliment_n or_o force_v of_o the_o aereal_a atom_n natural_o descend_v downward_o second_o it_o be_v apparent_a both_o by_o dissection_n and_o inflation_n of_o the_o lung_n that_o the_o air_n do_v enter_v from_o the_o larnix_n and_o bronchia_fw-la into_o the_o vesiculary_a cell_n and_o there_o whether_o by_o adhesion_n of_o dissolution_n do_v deposit_v at_o least_o some_o part_n of_o this_o aereal_a salt_n where_o meet_v with_o the_o occur_v humour_n be_v direct_o carry_v to_o the_o heart_n and_o by_o its_o pungent_a particle_n molest_v and_o irritate_v the_o straight_a and_o oblique_a fibre_n of_o the_o heart_n do_v stir_v they_o up_o into_o a_o systole_n or_o contraction_n and_o so_o by_o streightning_n its_o ventricles_n to_o drive_v forth_o the_o blood_n contain_v in_o they_o into_o the_o artery_n and_o this_o i_o take_v to_o be_v the_o true_a original_a of_o all_o pulsation_n and_o first_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n and_o circulation_n of_o the_o blood_n throughout_o the_o body_n for_o when_o i_o observe_v the_o motion_n of_o the_o heart_n of_o several_a creature_n exempt_a from_o their_o body_n and_o expose_v to_o the_o open_a air_n i_o can_v never_o believe_v either_o the_o influx_n of_o animal_n spirit_n much_o less_o the_o ebullition_n accension_n or_o dilatation_n of_o the_o heart_n to_o be_v the_o cause_n of_o its_o motion_n but_o rather_o the_o effect_n of_o these_o pungent_a particle_n prick_v upon_o the_o fibrous_a parenchyma_n of_o the_o heart_n in_o their_o natural_a descend_v motion_n as_o to_o the_o other_o two_o way_n of_o receive_v air_n viz._n by_o the_o pore_n of_o the_o body_n when_o i_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o these_o atom_n press_v direct_o downward_o when_o i_o consider_v the_o great_a quantity_n of_o effluvia_fw-la that_o be_v continual_o transpire_v by_o the_o cuticulary_a pore_n when_o i_o consider_v the_o nature_n of_o those_o pore_n and_o their_o action_n to_o be_v continue_v suitable_a to_o the_o utmost_a extremity_n of_o the_o artery_n from_o whence_o they_o original_o be_v derive_v i_o can_v see_v how_o the_o air_n can_v enter_v without_o either_o penetratione_fw-la corporum_fw-la or_o a_o inversion_n of_o nature_n constant_a course_n à_fw-la centro_fw-la ad_fw-la circumferentiam_fw-la corporis_fw-la the_o argument_n that_o be_v bring_v to_o prove_v the_o porosity_n of_o animal_n by_o the_o take_n in_o of_o effluvia_fw-la from_o without_o by_o the_o application_n of_o oil_n and_o plaster_n if_o right_o consider_v make_v nothing_o to_o this_o purpose_n to_o prove_v the_o entrance_n of_o this_o aereal_a salt_n by_o the_o cuticulary_a pore_n for_o set_v aside_o a_o particular_a enquiry_n into_o the_o nature_n of_o those_o plaster_n their_o subtle_a active_a igneous_a

have_v the_o point_n of_o this_o salt_n a_o force_n upon_o they_o since_o they_o natural_o descend_v perpendicular_o downward_o neither_o when_o i_o observe_v the_o difference_n between_o the_o florid_n aereal_a colour_a blood_n return_v from_o the_o lung_n and_o the_o atropurpureal_a blood_n contain_v in_o the_o vein_n can_v i_o believe_v this_o aereal_a salt_n do_v enter_v by_o the_o pore_n or_o be_v mix_v with_o the_o venal_a blood_n when_o i_o see_v the_o venal_a blood_n both_o change_v in_o colour_n and_o consistence_n from_o what_o i_o either_o find_v in_o the_o lung_n or_o artery_n and_o as_o to_o the_o last_o of_o these_o way_n when_o the_o author_n acquaint_v we_o how_o the_o particle_n of_o air_n be_v part_v asunder_o in_o inspiration_n part_n of_o they_o ascend_v

for_o although_o the_o mammillary_n process_n may_v be_v affect_v by_o the_o point_n of_o this_o salt_n and_o according_a to_o the_o various_a and_o different_a modification_n of_o they_o so_o

that_o seem_v as_o it_o be_v place_v there_o on_o purpose_n to_o communicate_v that_o vellication_n to_o the_o brain_n do_v occasion_n that_o desire_n in_o we_o which_o we_o call_v hunger_n and_o from_o hence_o the_o take_v the_o fresh_a air_n do_v make_v we_o hungry_a because_o we_o then_o receive_v this_o aereal_a salt_n both_o into_o our_o lung_n and_o stomach_n but_o it_o be_v not_o the_o
