III.Upon opening the Body of a young Country Girl, dead of a Consumption, I found her Lungs supurated in many Places, and a Stricture in the middle of the Stomach, dividing this Viscus into two Bags. This Stricture appeared to have been of some Standing, and likely to have occasioned some Difficulty in Digestion; but upon Enquiry, her Mistress and Fellow Servants said, that her Appetite and Digestions were natural, and. that she had continued in a good Plight, till upon coming to London she contracted a Cough, that had brought on the Consumption.

THE last Experiment was repeated with hot Water; when the Water was attracted much stronger, and at a much greater Distance: The Steam arising from the Vertex was in this Case visible, and the Tube was sprinkled with large Drops of Water. I tried the Experiment in the same Manner upon Quicksilver, which was likewise raised up; but by reason of its great Weight, not to so great an Height as the Water: The snapping Noise was louder, and lafted much longer than in the Water.
