Boyle doubts of its use when he says That it is not so easie to determine what its use is Since I have observed this Glandulae to be always impregnated with an apparent and pretty sharp saltness in several Brains of Men Oxen and Sheep I cannot but imagine that it separates some Volatile Humour from the Blood Analogous to a Volatile Armoniac Salt which being diffused upon the Trunc of the Spinal Marrow communicates some new Vigor to the Animal Spirits and hinders their Coagulation Concha is the winding Cavitie of the inner part of the Ear.

Crisima are Signs by which one may discern and judge Crisis is a sudden Change in a Disease either towards a Recovery or Death It sometimes signifies a Secretion of Humors but is more frequently taken for a Judgment passed upon a Disease One Crisis is called perfect another imperfect the perfect is that which frees the Patient perfectly and entirely from the Distemper and it is either Salutary or deadly 1. It must be judged by very good Signs 2. Be manifest 3. Happen upon a Critical Day 4. Be faithful 5. Secure 6. Suitable to the Disease and the Distemper of the Patient An imperfect Crisis is that which does not clearly determine the Tendency of the Disease but leaves room for another Crisis and this is Two-fold either for the better or for the worse
the former is that which does not quite take away the Disease but enables the Patient to bear it better the latter is when the Disease becomes more violent and dangerous That Crises depend upon the Motion and Influence of the Moon and Stars and follow their Quadrate and opposite Aspects or their Conjunctions is false and frivolous for Critical Evacuations are determined only according to the store and turgescencie of Adust Matter which is Expelled the Body sooner or later according to the different Temperament of the Persons Affected whereupon depends the variety of Critical days Cristae

whereon there happens a sudden change of a Disease and they are Threefold some are called truly and perfectly Critical others Indices others Intercidentes The perfectly Critical Days are called Principes or Radicales because that the Crisis which happen on these days have all the marks of a perfect Crisis and these are the Seventh the Fourteenth and the Twenty-first Day Indices which are called also Contemplabiles and Internuncii are those which Indicate that the Crisis will be on the Seventh day and these are Three the Fourth the Eleventh and Seventeenth Day Intercidentes which are called also Intercalares irrepentes or provocatorii and those which fall betwixt the days called Principes Indices and they onely aim at an imperfect Crisis and are the Third the Fifth the Ninth the Thirteenth and the Nineteenth but all other Days which are neither Principes nor Indices nor Intercidentes are called Vacui and Medicinales and they are the Sixth the Eighth the Tenth the Twelfth the Sixteenth and the Eighteenth The computation of Critical Days is to be Instituted from that hour wherein the Patient first felt himself ill We may observe by the by That the computation of Critical Days in these Countries does not exactly correspond with Hypocrates his Accounts All these days depend upon the sooner or later Fermentation and Maturation of the Morbific Matter Critica Signa Critical Signs are such as are taken from a Crisis either towards Death or a Recovery and some of them are antecedent which either fore-tell the time of a Crisis or signifie a kind of Crisis Others are concomitant which appear at the same time with the Crisis And others Lastly are Subsequent which shew whether an imperfect Recovery be to be expected or there be fear of a Relapse Crotaphites are
