This Liquor facilitates Swallowing. In the fourth Tunic of the Stomach there are a great Number of finall Dué'ts, which aaner to the glandulous Grains, placed in the loofe and fpungious Web of the third Tunic.

The third Tunic of the lnteltines contains a great Number of difi'erent glandulous Grains, which excrete a Liquor called the intg/z‘inal L;,,7plm, which refembles the Saliva, and which augments ' ' . the Fluidity of the Chyle. The BI L E is a yellow Fluid, which is bitter, and compofed of aqueous, faline, refinous, and fulphureous Parts,pgreatly attenuated and very intimately mixed together. Hence it is laponaceous, very penetrating, and exceeding fitto compleat the Dillolution of the fulphureous, gummy, mucilaginous, and faline Parts of the Aliment. Hence fome Au- The LIV E R feparates this Fluid from the venal Blood, brought thereto by the Vma Porta, which it receives from the Spleen, Stamacl), [nix/lines, and Epiplam, by a tingle Trunk ofa Vein, formed of the Re-union of the Veins, which proceed from thefe difl‘erent Parts. That which proceeds from the hepatic Dudt, is more fluid, more tranfparent, and more foft. The Aétion of the Dia- phragm, of the Mufcles of the flan/omen, and the progrefiive Moti- on of the Fluids, force the Bile out ofthis Canal into the Daaa'mam. The Use ofthe Bile is to divide the Chyle, torcnder it more fluid and fweet, and to excite a certain Motion in the Inteftines. The gtflic Bile has a purgative Qiality, and is a Kind of natural Llyl'ter, whence the lnteltines are llimulated to the Ejection of the Faces. When the Bile is vitiated, it produces an Accumulation of Cru- tlities in the Primzt Via", whence arifes a Naufea, Heat of the Stomach, Flatulencies, Coftivenefs, a Cachexy, VVafiing ; wherefore all Bitters aflilt the Chylification, correéi: the Faults of the Prime 712', and prevent many chronical Difeafes. The PANCR EATIC JULCE is an aqueous lympid Fluid, 3 little vifcous, and almolt without Smell, Colour, or 'I‘afl'e, it is feparated from the arterial Blood in the Paazi‘rgar, which being conveyed by the pancreatic Duct into the Duaclmam, is difcharged With the Bile through the Dzzflar Cbalarlocbur This Juice is almolt inlipid in its natural State, and is analogous Experiments convince us, that the Bile is a Mixture of Oil and an alkalious Salt, which makes a Sort ofa Soap. thors cail it the animal Soap. Daga'mum. 21 For one Part of the Blood comes from the Spleen, when it has undergone fome Change; another Part from the Stomach and Inteftines, where it has been loaded according to fome, with Part of the Chyle; and another Part comes from the Epiploon, from whence it brings Part of the Fat. The Bile being feparated by the Glands of the Liver, palies through the Pores of the biliary Vellbls, which by their Re-union form a Canal called the Dairy: I‘Icpatitm. Other fmall Canals, according to I'Vz'rxflrw and I/t'rrlz'sr, proceed from thefe Pores of the Liver, and are called flrpaz‘agiy/llt‘, and carry the Ella into the Gall- bladder, from whence it proceeds trom a Canal, which is named the D333": Qiyt'z'cur. This Canal is~joined with the Hepatic, and make together one fingle Duet, termed the Defim Cbaladorbm, this common Canal depolites the Bile in the Dziazlemrm. ' The Bil: which is found in the Gall-bladder is very thick, very‘ bitter, and very yellow. Comprefiions of the Nqucles of the 1f!)dorntvz, the Contruoion of its own fleihy Fibres, and efpecially the Prellhre of the Storm: , when it;. is full, forces the, Bile into-the Dwdflzwm to the Saliva. Its Ufa is to moif'ten the Mafs of Aliments in the Dzma'mum, to foften the Bile, to render it more fluid, and to mix with it, in Order to diffolve the Aliments more minutely, and to render the Chyle more fit to enter the laéteal Veins. J The URINE is a ferous and faline Fluid of a Citron Colour, feparated from the Blood, which the amalgam xirrcric: carry to th- Kidneys, from whence it defcends to the Bladder by the Urercrr, and is emitted from Time to Time by the Canal of the Urethra. The Urine is therefore the Scrofity of the Blood, but not pure, for it is loaded with faline, fulphureous, and terreflriztl Particles; ofwhich .it is the Mogflruum and the Vehicle. The Sides of the Bladder are guarded by a mucilaginous Fluid, eficreted by the Glands, which are between its Coats , by which Means the urinous Salts make the lefs Imprefiion upon it. This Fluid forms the Glair, which falls to the Bottom of the Vcliel, When a Perfon is afflicted with the Stone. It IS obfervable that there are three Sorts ofSubl'tances differently placed, the Nuberula, the Enmarama, and the Lfi‘p/Z'afli. The Nzilzecala is 21 Sort of a Cloud which fwims near the Top of the Urine, and confif'ts of the faline and fibrous Particles of the Blood, mlxt with the Serofity. When it is expofedto the Fire, it changes to n crul'taceous Subftance. The Erza'orema or Sufpenlion, is a.
