    Varieties. Varieties of fluids depend upon and denote the che¬ mical peculiarities, the offices and positions of the GETS ERA. CLASS I. ORDER I. GENUS I. Oxygenated Blood.—1. Arterious Blood; circulating in Arteries— supplies the wants of all parts of the animal body. GENUS II. 2. Disoxygenated Blood—Venous Blood; circulating in Veins; returning to the Heart, as the basis of Arterious Blood. GENUS III. Lymph, deprived of the red globules of blood ; returning to the Heart to become the vehicle of the red globules ; circulating in the Lymphatic Ves¬ sels. GENUS IV. Chyle—the food for the Blood; cir¬ culating towards the Heart to mix with the Venous Blood and the Lymph ; to be carried to the Lungs ; in them to be freed of excess of Hydrogene, Carbonic, and Azotic Gases, and to be saturated * with Oxygene Gas; being thus converted into Arterious Blood. * I have many strong reasons for believing that the Arteri¬ ous Blood is always saturated.
