Some are ofan opinion that the Flux is performed by the Arteries termina‘ The manner ending Em‘iflf'ég ting into the Vagina, and others, that it is managed by the Arteries Pcrro‘m‘d' into the body of the Worm.- And I humbly are true, by reafon the Flux is made both in womb, and principally in the laft, by reafon it ter Branches of preparing and Hypogaltriclt conceive, that both Opinions the Vagina and Body of the hath more numerous and greaArteries than the Vagina; and farthermore, if thefe fruitful Branches did not import Blood into the Glands of the "term, (wherein the grofs parts are fevered from the more refined and tranfmitted by the Pores of the inward Coat into the bolbm of the womb) how could this Flux caufe an Abortion, which frequently hapepens in the three or four firfl Months, when the tender Faelm floating in the is carried uterus ( as not: faftned to it by the interpofition of the @lacema) place, with the Flux through the relaxed orifice of the womb into the bearing and thence out of the confines of the Body. and The inward Coat of the Mam is rendred unequal in divers places, efpecially in the bottom of it, which is caufed by the terminations of the Excretory Ducts ( coming from the Glands) wherein fireams of Purple and Liquor flow into the Cavity of the "term in the time of the Men/hm: Lorbia. roceed Month in the vellels of the: "term, as is evacuated in one Menftruous Purgation, and when perfons have died near the time of their Monthl Evacution, upon Dilieétion , their velfels have not been found T 'dy with Blood. urgl e The Monthly Courfc doth not proceed either from the motion f 1 Moon or the Plenty of Blood, alone , but more pro b 2. bl y from the effervel0 t l? cence of the Blood as confilhng of fermentative Particles, derived from He- tetogeneous Elements, cauling Difputes with each other, whence arifeth a Fermentation; fo that the Blood being upon a fret as :16th with diffe- through the Excretory Duets into the Cavity and Vagina of the "term. And now I perceive it may dcferve our Difquifition to know the Nature The difpofiof this Ferment, making the elfervefcence of the Blood, and from whence it taketh its Origen, which I apprehend may be probably derived from the fermentative Matter acting the Blood in the Stomach, Guts, Pancreas Spleen, Liver, and Glands, which being tranfmitted by proper Arteries in: 33;??ng "m"g "‘C $3233" iiiiiirccmi to Glands of the 14am, may receive a new aceefs of fermentativc Particles, which I conceive may be a mucous or ferous Matter (always found in the fubftance of the Womb when difleéted) which being kept in the Glands the {pace of a Month, may obtain a fermentative nature and infec‘t the Blood, when it is more freely impelled into the Glands in its Month1y Flux 3 {0 that the Blood having its Compage opened by the fermenta- . tive parts_lodged in the Glands, is difpofed for a Secretion; f0 that the more grols Parts may be more readily received into the Excretory Dué'ts and conveyed into the bofom of the womb. , It may be objected, That this Conjecture of Secretion of the good from the impure part of the Blood in the Menflmom Flax is gratis diffa, as be~ mg a fancy of my own, without any foundation in Nature; to whichItake the boldnefs to give this Reply, That Glandulous Subflances are Colarories of the Blood in all parts of the Body, of Pancreatick Liquor in the Glands of the Pancreas, of Bilious humours in the Liver, and of Watry Recrements, in the Kidneys, of Lympha in all the Conglobated Glands belonging to the whole Body,- aud of the Secretion of the more chulent blood from ruou: Flux to the motion of the Moon, others attribute it to the gm: the more pure acted in the Glands of the lllemr, and conveyed by proper , Channels into the capacity of the womb.
