The Ancient, and Lorne Modern Pliylitians, alligne the caufe of an Amflirm, to the fault of the Liver, to its cold Temper, producing a pituitous Mats of Blood, which f‘uppol‘eth the l iver to be the iiiltrument of Sanguifica- tion, an opinion repugnant to the Laws of Anatomy, and to the atconomy of Nature, becaufe no Laé‘teal Vellels can be dilhoveretl (by the molt Curious and lndrilirious late Anatomifis) that import Chyle into the Liver, in order to its greater refinement, and allimilatioti into good Blood.
