About the Book

This historic book may have numerous typos and missing text. Purchasers can download a free scanned copy of the original book (without typos) from the publisher. Not indexed. Not illustrated. 1777.

Hence it will follow, upon the most simple principles, that when this fluid is supplied by the Exbalent Vessels, in a greater quantity than the Absorbents can fuck up, the watery part of the blood will be gradually collected in the cavity of the belly, and a Dropsy must ensue. The fluid here spoken of becomes perfectly visible in the Steam arising from the internal parts of animals opened immediately after death; so that it is evident, there is a kind of obscure circulation going on in all the cavities of the body, by one set of vessels pouring out a watery vapor, and another as constantly taking it up, lest it should too much abound. Whatever weakens the vascular system, and renders the blood thin and watery, will dispose the body to a Dropsy by lessening the f power of the Absorbents; the principal of S s which which are a bad Stomach, weak Lungs, or a disease...
