The Contagious Particles being admitted into the Blood, do there
coagulate its Parts, and form _Moleculæ_ of a larger Size than ordinary.
_Demonstration_
The Force of the Heart and Cavities of the Canals being the same, when
the Infection is first taken, as before, the Blood would pass with the
same Facility thro' the Vessels as at other Times, and Obstructions
could not be formed, were not the _Moleculæ_ thus increased; as our
Senses show they are by the Eruption of Pustules in the Small-Pox, by
the great Inflammations, Mortifications, Buboes, and Carbuncles in
Malignant and Pestilential Fevers; and consequently the Contagious
Particles do increase the Bulk of several of the constituent Parts of
the Blood, by altering the Figures of its Particles, and forming
_Moleculæ_ of a larger Size than in a Natural State.
