Thinning
the
Blood.
It
is
desirable
to
consider
the
means
of
thinning
the
blood,
when
it
has
been
deprived,
by
too
profuse
transpiration
in
hot,
dry
winds,
of
its
aqueous
particles,
and
rendered
thick
and
viscid.
Water
would
easily
supply
this
want
of
fluidity
if
it
were
capable
of
mingling
with
the
blood
when
in
this
state;
acid
matter
cannot
be
ultimately
combined
with
the
blood
when
the
body
is
in
this
state.
In
order
to
find
a
menstruum
by
which
water
may
be
rendered
capable
of
combining
ultimately
with
the
blood,
of
remaining
long
in
combination
with
it,
and
of
thinning
it,
we
must
mix
it
with
a
substance
possessing
the
property
of
a
soap,
and
consequently
fit
to
dissolve
viscous
matters,
and
make
them
unite
with
water.
The
soap
must
contain
but
little
salt,
that
it
may
not
increase
the
thirst
of
the
parched
throat.
It
must
not
have
a
disagreeable
taste,
that
it
may
be
possible
to
drink
a
considerable
quantity
of
it:
and
it
must
be
capable
of
recruiting
the
strength
without
overloading
the
stomach.
Now
all
these
qualities
are
to
be
found
in
the
yolk
of
egg.
No
beverage,
therefore,
is
more
suitable
(whilst
it
is
very
agreeable)
for
hot,
dry
weather
than
one
composed
of
the
yolk
of
an
egg
beaten
up
with
a
little
sugar
according
to
taste,
and
mixed
with
a
quart
of
cool
spring
or
filtered
water,
half
a
glass
of
Moselle
or
any
other
Rhenish
wine,
and
some
lemon
juice.
The
wine,
however,
may
be
omitted,
and
only
the
lemon
juice
be
used;
in
like
manner,
hartshorn
shavings
boiled
in
water
may
be
substituted
for
the
yolk
of
egg.
Equal
quantities
of
beef
tea
and
whey
are
good
for
delicate
infants.
