    Page 17. Of the Caufes of the Poifon- ous ^ality. Fermentation, Aciion, The Profeflbr examines very abftrufely into the caufe, and the zdiion of Venereal Poifon. As it is too obvious that a fpecific irritation belongs to venereal virus, I fhall fay no more upon the fubjecfb here, but wait to fee if he applies his theoretic ideas to more practical fuccefs. Page 23. Of the different Forms of the Difeafe, The Profeffor fays, the Venereal Difeafe affedts the body two ways, local and' conftl- tutional. The local are gonorrhoea and chancre, the conftitutional, blotches, ulcers, thickened periofteum and bones. There is alfo an intermediate way, which he fays is the bubo. All thefe are more violent or fa- vourable, rapid or flow in fome than in others.
