| Title | Paper, 'An account of what happened on syringing warm water into the thorax of a bitch' by Wm [William] Musgrave |
| Date | [1690s] |
| Description | Musgrave describes three experiments carried out in June and July of 1683 where he injected various volumes of warm water into the thorax of a female greyhound. The water caused shortness of breath and fever, but the dog recovered within a week on each occasion. Musgrave speculates on how the water may have left the body.
