to elevate the most inveterale TO cure The
most doubtful and dangerous to inurC
none and where it failed it failed ii failed
from the most obvious reason that Death
had already laid his cold and icy hand
upon the life of the patient.
DIR. Thompson theory in cauling heat
life has more PHILOSOPHY on his side Than
some is aware Of light heat and fire arc
only the same substance in different
states and all signify by the same word

ancients affirm that hight gave an organs

miliye choar and is the palladium of all

and most bulilull OF all that we behold o!
The Creator Thompson thinks that
the circulation Of the Blood is caused BY
the expanding power Of heat within aud
the compression of air without The acIiyi-
ty he has assigned to taem agrees with
the most rcputed Of ancient PLY Iosophy an
egg cannot hatch without air and heat they
have absolul dominion over all things the
circulation of the Blood is from in ternal
heat and the external air pressing in to
the lungs the serve as pump to draw in
motion the air is to the body what the
weight is to clock and the heat wilhils
valvs as pendulum TO regulate its mo-
lion we now conceive that DR. Thompson
has not given too much importance to
heat and air in his theory or if he has
erred it's in great society and with long
established maXims Of profound reason
and CAREFUL observation Dir Thompson's
saying cold is Death he mite only mean
all effect Of Death cold is generally con-
sidered as a negative term to express the
absence of heat.
