    Modus, quo Hydrargyrum, corpus afficit, est problema quod ut solvent, medici suum inge¬ nium contulerunt. Ratio, quae, me judice, optima videtur, reddita est Doctore Farre, qui inquit: “ It is, however, too low an esti- mate of the operatiori of mercury, to consider it only as a specific against Syphilis, or as an eva¬ cuant and promoter of certain secretions and excretions. It powerfully alters the action of inflamed arteries, more especially in respect to the effusion of coagulable lymph, which it in various degrees Controls, or even altogether suspends. In relation to general practice, this is perhaps the most important view which can be taken of the operation of mercury on the vascular system.”# Hoc modo fortasse ratio utilitatis Hydragyri in Laryngis, Tracheae, Je¬ coris, inflammatione, etiam que in Lue Vene¬ rea reddi potest. In oculo exemplum pulcher¬ rimum facultatum hujus remedii aspicitur. Oc¬ currit inflammationi, impedit ne lympha magis • Saunders Op. Cit. Prsef. p. xxxix.
