Thus a violent _Poison_ is mitigated into a _Vomit_ or _Purge_; nay, it may easily happen (especially in Robust Constitutions, and if the Bowels be at the same time by any means defended against the Stimulating Power of the Medicine) that this Twitching may be so slight, as to be almost insensible, and hardly troublesome; and then the _Mercurial Globules_ being freed indeed from most of the _Saline Parts_ in their Passage thro’ the _Primæ Viæ_, but still having a mixture of some few of them, are quickly conveyed into the Blood, where by their Motion and Weight they must necessarily dissolve the Preternatural Cohæsions of all the Liquors, particularly of Those which Circulate in the smallest Canals, and are most Viscid and Tenacious, making ’em more Fluxile and Thin, or of more easie Secretion; whereupon all the Glands of the Body are, as it were, set to Work, and Scoured of their Contents; but the _Salival_ Ones especially, being many in Number, very large and wide, and the Juice they separate of a Tough and Ropy Substance, so that a considerable quantity of It is accumulated before it is forced out at the Orifices of the Ducts. These Effects will be most remarkable in _Them_, and a _Salivation_ or Spitting must continue so long, till the Active Mineral Particles are thro’ these and the other Passages discharged out of the Body. As the Difference between Mercury _Corrosive_ and _Dulcified_ lies in a greater and lesser Degree of Operation and Force, so this same Consideration distinguishes the several _Preparations_ of this Mineral from each other; which tho’ very many, yet do all vary their Effects in the Body, only according as the _Mercurial Globules_ are differently combined with _Salts_, and the _Points_ of _These_ more or less broken by the Action of the Fire, in the Burning of Spirits upon Them, and such like Managements: And therefore however dignified with the great Names of _Arcana_, _Panacææ_, _Princes Powders_, &c. They do not afford Us any thing Singular and Extraordinary, beyond what we may with equal Advantage promise our selves from some or other of the most common and usual _Processes_.
