disease whatever, if he would preserve himself
from infection, must be sure to Long as he
abides within the sphere of the Steams, never to Swal:
:low his Spittle, for I reasonably conceive that to
be the part which first, and most easily imbibes
infection and by that swallow the infection is carried
into the stomach, &c.
