A Scirrhus of the Bladder, may proceed from a quantity of Pituitoug Humours, fiagnated in the Interl'tices of the Veflels, whofe moilter parts being evaporated, the more grols are Concreted, and thereby do indurate the fub- Dance of the Bladder. C H A P. XXXIII. Of‘Urine. A Noble Man, having had many figns of a Stone lodged in his Bladder, was highly aflliéied for many Years with the Strangury. And his Body being opened after Death, no Stone was found, but a hard Swelling, which was of f0 great Dimenfions, that it almofi filled up the Cavity of the Bladder, leaving little or no fpace for the reception of Urine. The [traightnefs of the Neck of the Bladder, often proceedeth from Obfiruétion, and fometimes from Compreflion: As to the firflt, It is often gene. rated by fabulous Matter, Stones, Gi'umous Blood, Pus, Mucous and clam- my Matter, Caruncles, and Watts, flopping the Urinary paifage, and intercepting the free current of Urine. The firaightnefs of the Neck of the Bladder, may alfo be derived from the fwelling of the neighbouring parts comprefling it, as alfo from the repletion of the Inufiinum Realm, With hard Excrements, and from the Inflammation of the 'Pem'r, and Neck of the Bladder, firaightning the Urinary ' Channel. THC watry liquors ( being the more moift and fluid part of Meat and Drink in its firi‘t Rtidinient)is afterward Concoéted with the Oily and Salt parts of Aliments in the Stomach, and other Vifcera, and then allociates with the Blood in various Tubes of Arteries and Veins, to give it a thin corifillence, and render it fluid in order to Motion, and to put the Vital Liquor into a capacity, to infinuate it felf into the molt flraight Capillaries, and to pafs when extravafated iii the narrow Interftices of Veflels, from the terminations of Arteries into the Origens of the Veins, to prevent the fiagnancy of Blood, and Inflammations of Flelhy and Membranous parts: So that this Potulent Matter, being a Vehicle of Blood, doth in its converfe and motion with it, embody with Saline and Sulphureous parts, not ferviceable to Nature, and difchargeth them as mixed with it by Salival Liquor, Sweat and Urine. Urine borroweth its firft Origen from thin Potulent Liquor, as its Malaria Subflram, and is compounded of Vinous, Spirituous, Sulphureous, Saline, VVatrV and Earthy Particles; which may be made clear in Defiillation. The lirft that rife, are fome few Vinous Spirits, impregnating Phlegm. Next follow the Watry parts, in a greater fource, embodied with molt Saline, and fornc Sulphureous parts. Thirdly, Doth rife the Spirit of Urine, imprxgna. ted with Salt of a fixed quality, which is rendred Volatil by great degrees of heat, exalting its [harp and pungent difpofition, whereupon divers pre- parations of Salt and Spirit of Urine are made by Art, which being of an Aperient and Diuretick Ingcny, do Open the Obftruétions (feared in the lVlinure Veil'els of the Vifeera) and the Compage of the Blood, and give it a power of freely difcharging its Recrements, With a large proportion of Urine. And hit of all, when the more thin and watry parts of Urine, are evaporated in Defiillation, the Salt and Earthy Particles fublide in the bottom of the Alembick; and if the Salt be fublimatcd by a more intenle Fire, it will quit the company of the Caper Mirtuum, and leave it alone: So that the Fire in Deflillation will difcover, and feparate'the feveral Elements of Urine, of which the lealt, if any, are the Vinous parts. The next in fmall proportion are the Sulphureous and Earthy, and the greatefl: in quantity, _ are the \iVatry and Saline. 'l he Sulphur-eons parts are few, by reafon Urine cal't upon Fire, dOth not bring it into a Flame ( by reducing its Atomes into aviolent Motion, and eruption as mixing with Air) but rather fubdues and quencheth it ', and that Urine hath fame rancid oily parts, may be proved by its Faetide fmell, arifing chiefly from l'utrefaétion, as long kept , wherein the compage .of the Urine being highly opened, the Sulphureous fieams do embody With the Air, and give a great dif'turbance to the Nofl'rils, in their nOifomc fmell. . Saltnefs may be difcerned in Urine, as being fomewhat akin to Nitre in rafte, which is derived from the falt particles of Aliment, which are exalteid by Concoc'iion in the Stomach, and motion of the Blood in the Velfels, and O oo o o o acquire The origtn at tine.
