A Third Caufe of difioning the Stomach, proceedeth from a cold and moill dillemper, derived from a great quantity of warty Humours, in DropIf fies, mixing with the mafs of Blood, palling by the Celiack Arterie, into the Intei'l'tices of the Veflels, belonging to the Stomach, where it chilleth and moifieneth the Nervous Fibres, rendring them flaccide, and uneapabletoretain lVleat and Drink, in reference to the extraction of Chyle. A Fourth Caule of diPtoning the Stomachgnay arife from an ill Conformatian ill , on wherein the Interfiices of the Filaments (compofing the Nerves) are taken ,m'nm' away, or much lcflened by a compreflion of the Fibres in Inflammations rm and Oedematous Tumours, wherein Blood, or pituitous Humours being ex. travalitted, and flagnant in the empty fpaces, interceding the nervous Fibrils of the Stomach, do fwell it beyond its natural Dimenfions,and thereby comprtli‘ the Filaments of the Nerves, by Ptraightening their Interltices, whence the influx of the Nervous Liquor is (topped, or much checked at km, and the Fibrils lofe their plumpuefs and vigor, as being made unapt for Con- traction, and Retention of Aliment in the bofome of the Stomach. And not only the fubf'tance ofthe Ventricle is tumified with extravafatcd Huinours, but alfo the inward Coat is befet with numerous puflles, flowing if' from Serous liquor (in a malignant Fever) outing out of the capillary Arteries, and railing the inward Tunicle of the Stomach, into many [inall pro- tuberancies ( hindring its Contraction in order to Coneoé‘tion) which prove fatal to the Patient. Of thole Tumors, Thomar Eartha/me giveth an lnlianee in his Fourfcore and twelfth Hifiory of his Third Century, where he mentioneth a Goo/Minn, , who was furprized with a great weaknefs, eaufed by a pefiilential Fever, and his Body being opened after Death, the inward Coat of his Stomach was found all befpecked with little tranfparent Swellings, big with clear liquor, flowing out of the extreamities of the Veflels.
