this hguratve word proper Que to under
these circumstances two conditions were neces-
sary. First, that purgaon should really and tru-

foul and corrupt humorS, and make the patient as
it were new man, N other words a perfectly
healthy man, and secondly that this connection
between purgation and perfect health should be
known and believed In by the whole people TO
whom these teachings were addressed. If the
first was not true, Meth r mlght the doctrine
founded upon It be true, and /! the second were
