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.

with_o easy_a trouble_n we_o extract_v our_o common_a niter_n whereas_o the_o particle_n of_o water_n be_v more_o flexile_a and_o not_o so_o close_o combine_v together_o recede_v and_o give_v way_n to_o its_o penetration_n so_o that_o this_o aereal_a salt_n enter_v to_o the_o bottom_n of_o the_o deep_a water_n without_o which_o the_o very_a eel_n though_o bed_v in_o the_o mud_n can_v live_v

of_o symptom_n in_o disease_n do_v often_o arise_v not_o so_o much_o from_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o the_o disease_n as_o from_o the_o different_a nature_n of_o the_o solid_a part_n or_o
