To which I make bold, with the permillion of this war. thy and great Anatomift, to return this Aufwer: That if the Papillary Prominencies, do creep into the Cavities of the Roots of the Horny Pro- -‘ tuberancies, yet they arrive not the utmoli Extreamities of them above; , fo that the Nervous Fibrils feared below, are not in a readinefs to entertain Thar I ma Y i:live ) on a clearer notion of the Tallinn3 Facult Ya and its "Hmmmt i .
