signifies the Guts to be ulcerate The stomach is known to be hurt when the chyle or meat doth issue forth at the wound and if the foecal matter come forth it shews the Guts to be wounded so the water issuing shews the Bladder to be wounded and when the Plura or thin skin which covers the ribs within is pierced then the wind doth blow forth at the hole Moreover the form of issuing forth is remarkable for the better understanding of the part that is troubled So the blood that proceeds out of the Arteries because of the abundance of spirits doth issue with force in a leaping manner but if flowing and deadly from the vein also if any piece of the parts troubled do come forth alone it signifies the place or seat to be near by but if it be mixed with the Excrements it declares it to be higher and further removed The Accidents point also at the place So the Pearl declares the Eye to be molested the swelling of the right Groin shews the Livor and that of the left the Spleen to be disordered The Symptomes or Accidents following the sickness manifest the place so Raving or Ravery designes the braine to be distempered the Cheeks very red shew the Lungs to be inflamed the losse of appetite speaks the indisposition of the stomach and the Excrement issuing like to the washing of raw flesh declares the debelity of the Livor Canon 5. Thus having found out the part that is troubled the next is to search whether it be by Idiopathy that is from the first proper passion or by Sympathy that is from a naturall passion assisting the other because it is requisite first to help the part that is troubled by its own proper desert so Idiopathy is a proper indisposition of the part as is the Pearle of the eye Sympathy is an indisposition which befalleth any part by the fault of another and that either because of the defluxion of an humour falling from one part to another or by reason of the defect of the natural faculty required for the action of that part sometimes it falls out that a part of a long trouble by a Sympathy in the end turnes to be troubled by an Idiopathy Idiopathy is either primative or consecutive it is therefore expedient to observe whether the disease be privative that is first or consecutive that is when it doth flow from another An Idiopathy is discerned from a Sympathy when the sore or grief is alone continually without intermission and receiveth neither encrease nor diminution by the augmentation or declination of any disease that is in any other part but remaines still in one state and condition the Remedies applyed serving for the good of the same by these signes the indisposition is Idiopathetick but when it followeth another disease and groweth according to the growth of the same and also is mitigate by the same Remedies and when the Remedies applyed to it self do not help it is then by Sympathy so the pain of the head arising from the stomach is distinguished from the dolor that comes of the proper fault of the braine in that it succeeds to a beltching and desire to Vomit to an evil smell or taste in the mouth with a falling away or Li●●chamy that is a swouning and when it growes with an indisposition of the stomach not receiving help from the topicks applyed to the head Canon 6. Having found out the part of the body offended the next inquisition must be of the indisposition The indisposition that hinders the Action is called Morbus or sickness that which followeth is tearmed Symptome and that which engendreth is named Cause so all the indisposition against nature is either Morbus Symptoma or Causa The Symptome is known of it self without other signes because it is objected still to some of the senses but the disease and the Causes are for the most part removed from the senses but they are known by the Symptomes which are the signes namely by the Actions hurt by the Excrements and by the Accidents of the body Canon 7. Malady or Sickness is an indisposition against nature that hurts immediately the Action of the part affected whensoever then the Action is found to be hindred or hurt then it is a disease Sickness or Malady is triple Similare Instrumentall and common the first hurts the Action of the part Similary the second troubles the use of the organick the third hinders both wherefore if the Action of the part insomuch as it is Similary be hurt the disease shall be Similare if it be so far as an Instrument it shall be instrumentall and if they both fall together it shall be common The action of the part Similare is hindered by a simple intemperature as heat cold moistness and drowth or by one composed as hot and dry hot and humid cold and dry cold and humid and that either with or without matter the use of the Organ is perverted by the fault of the greatness number scituation but oftenest by confirmation and obstruction both the one and the other is troubled by the breach or solution of continuity in the parts as by Phlegmon or Inflamation Scirrh or hard swelling or by any other tumour contrary to nature as also by Ulcer Wound Fracture or Luxation so Intemperature is a sickness Similare obstruction a disease Organick and solution of the Continuity is a sickness common The diversity of Especes or Kinds are known by the variety of the Actions hindered so the continuall desire of sleep signifies an indisposition cold and moist of the braine a continuall watching shewes a hot and dry Pulse frequent quick and unequall a Fever likewise the kind of the paine points forth the disease as a dolour inflamative a hot distemper a dolour stupefactive a cold distemper The Excrement serves also to find out the Kind of the sickness as sand in the water shews gravell the meat sent forth below without change declares a Lientery or imperfect digestion as also the Accidents of the body So the colour green shews an opilation or stopping in the Liver brown colour an obstruction in the Spleen a black Tongue a burning or Fever the nailes crooked a Consumption Prisie or Cough of the Lungs the Cheeks red a Peripneumonie or inflamation of the Lungs amongst these Accidents such as are proper and inseparable are holden for the most certain because they have a great demonstrative faculty Canon 8. The nature and scituation of the place serves much to the knowledge of the kind of the sickness for every part hath its own proper sickness so the eyes onely are subject to a Pearle the Kidnies and Bladder to the Stone the Guts to Worms and not the Stomach the heart can never suffer an Ulcer profound nor the Lung any dolour Canon 9. For the better taking the disease let diligent consideration be had to the things antecedent such as are the Nature the Habitude the Age the Country the Season the

a nature temperate which ingenders abundance of blood The fashions and carriage merry joviall peaceable and gentle are good signes because they are marks of a body well-disposed The heaviness of the head proceeding from the abundance of vapours ascending upwards increaseth blood so doth the sleep profound and pleasant with dreames of things pleasant the pulse also strong great and full for in it the veines are so full that they do infuse a part in the neighbour-neighbour-Arteries by an Anastomasie or transfusion of the blood through the veines which being filled causeth such a pulse and that not onely in the Wrists but also in the Temples the Fingers and over all the body The respiration or breathing more difficile and frequent chiefly after exercise is another signe of encrease of blood because the Muscles of the breast are made lazy through the abundance of blood Hence it is that the respiration is made more frequent by reason of the use but shortened because the capacity interiour of the breast is made more strict The promptitude of rendring blood by the Stooles the Emrods the monthly Courses the Water the Nose and the Spittle And finally by a continuall sweating during the time of the disease are tokens of much plenitude Canon 16. Cacochimy or evill digestion is three-fold Cholerick Melancolick and Phlegmatick the Causes that gather abundance of Choler are signes preceding the same and such are 1. The Complexion hot and dry for commonly there engenders much Choler in men of a hot and dry Complexion by reason of the conformity of this humour with that temperament 2. The manly age which is between twenty five and thirty five for in that age Choler doth abound because the naturall heat is much more dry and active then before in which also a great part of inbred moisture or sap is consumed 3. The Summer for the Choler is more abundant then by reason of the circumsisting Aire which maketh the blood more hot and dry 4. The Climate hot and dry the precedent dyet of the same qualities 5. Great exercise Travell Anger Care Watching Fasting and Abstinence do all gather Choler 6. The suppression of the ordinary evacuation of Choler by Vomit by the Stool by Urine and by Sweat The consequent marks of abounding Choler are 1. The whole colour of the body pale yellow or blackish drawing near to that of the Jaundies or brown for when the temperament is excessive in heat the Choler is black 2. The state of the body dry leane and small for such proportions are commonly Cholerick as also such as be hairy with the haire red for that is the Excrement of Choler but more the black for black haire is when the exhalation burnt by the force of the heat is changed into black but the red is when it is not so burnt 3. The greatness of the veines extended by the heat for they who have great veines are of Complexion hot but such as have straite and narrow veines are of cold constitution for it is heat that doth enlarge 4. The heat sharp and biting to the touch 5. Promptitude to courage and a disposition to anger and revenge 6. The sense lively light and suddaine 7. The spirit subtile and of great invention for the subtilty and industry of the judgement comes of the humour Bilous or Cholerick 8. The sleep little and light accompanied with inquietudes great watching testifying the great dryness of the braine or from abundance of an humour bilious or Cholerick with them 9. Dreames of War Fire and things furious 10. The pulse vehement hasty and hardy 11. Bitterness of the mouth losse of Appetite great Thirst venting of Choler upward and downward with the belly often constipate or bound 12. The Urine yellow biting inflamed and with little grounds 13. The diseases cholerick frequent as Fevers fierce and ardent Raving Jaundies Herps or Ring-wormes Erisiple or S. Anthonies fire Pustules Cholericks dispersed through the whole body Canon 17. The Melancholick distemper is known First by the causes productive of Melancholy such are 1. The temperature cold and dry with a debility in the Spleen or hot from the beginning but becoming cold by change for if any hot and dry before by an adus●ion of the blood shall ingender much black Choler he becomes cold and dry and in the end Melancholy 2. The declining Age which is between thirty five and forty five for melancholy doth abound in that age because it succeeding to the youth which is the most Cholerick of all it receives the Choler burnt 3. The Harvest for in it also melancholy abounds because succeeding from the Summer it receives the burnt Choler from it 4. Gross food and viscous increase melancholy as brown-Bread Hogs-flesh Beef Hares-flesh Harts-flesh and chiefly any of these salted thick black-Wine Beer and old Cheese 5. The life sad occupied in great affairs in contemplation Studying without Recreation or exercise of the body for by it the naturall heat diminisheth and the humours become grosse and thick 6. The suppression of melancholy which used to be by the Emrods monthly Courses Seeges Scabs or by Medicine As also by the signes of melancholy predominant in the body such are 1. The colour brown or blackish of the Face or all the body the skin full of Scabs Hardness Swelling and pain of the Spleen the habitude of the body dry and leane the visage sad and heavy Feare Silence Solitariness Urine Imagination Conceits for the constancy of the spirit comes of an humour melancholick 2. The mind slow to wrath but being incensed hard to be appeased 3. The sleep troubled with horrible Dreames as with sights of evill Spirits Tortures of Death Sepulchres and other things fearfull 4. The pulse light slow and hard 5. The appetite depraved sometimes disordered by reason of a sower matter adhering to the orifice of the Stomach 6. The water clear and white where there is no melancholy mixed but thick and black where there is melancholy mixed with it 7. Where the diseases melancholy are frequently arriving Canon 18. The knowledge of Pituitous or phlegmatick distemper is taken from the causes antecedent procreating it and the signs assequent following it The antecedent are 1. The Complexion of the body cold and humid the old age which is from Forty nine to the term of Life for in that age by reason of the weakness of the natural heat much phlegme is engendred 2. The Winter because that season as Hipocrates reports replenisheth the body with phlegm both by the length of nights as also by reason of the abundance of rain for in the rainy season the watry air which doth environ the body gathers quantities of pituitous humours and watery superfluities 3. The great uses of humid and moist meat the frequent drinking of water and any kind of excess either in meat or drink 4. Idleness or want of exercise with a sedentary or sitting life long sleepe and especially after meat The assequent or following marks of phlegm

are 1. The color of the face and all the body somewhat whitish grayish or livid being withall swell'd the whole body grown and fat for fat folk are commonly cold and phlegmatick grease being ingendred by the coldness of the habitude of the body the veins and Arteries being little and strait as coming of little blood and few spirits 3. The skin white and soft without hair because the complexion cold and humid is no wayes hairy the hair is white because it is created of phlegm 4. All the senses of the body heavy and lazy the spirit stupid the sleep profound the pulse small and soft 5. Slow digestion of belching with a sower tast a desire to vomit the water whitish crude and sometime troubled with a thick ground 6. Pituitous and phlegmatick diseases frequently occurring or old Cattarhs and the like Canon 19. The antecedent Causes declaring a windy Cacochymie or Digestion are 1. The stomach cold and humid with a debility of natural heat proceeding of a simple intemperature or with humours indigested 2. The Spleen swell'd and bound up with melancholy hindring by a Sympathy the digestion of the stomach 3. Meats windy as raw Fruits Beans Pease Chesnuts and the like over-much drink too much boyled meat Drunkennesse and Gluttony 4. Lack of Exercise great sleep the Age the Country season of the Year Cold doth cause abundance of Ventosities 5. When wind is gathered in the body by reason of the former causes there is found a distention of the Venticle of the Collick Gout chiefly on the left side with a noise 6. The wandering discenting pains running here and there through the whole body 7. There is wind heard to issue at all occasions both upward and downward from whence cometh some ease there is also often to be observed a singing in the ear 8. The Chollick with other diseases arising of wind do often trouble Canon 20. The external causes of sickness called by the Greeks Procatarticks or primitive causes ought diligently to be searched for they lead us to the knowledge of the cause intern as of the disease for aire meat and drink to warm watching great and violent motion anger and the suppression of the Excrements these engender hot humours and hot diseases On the contrary cold food with a cooling air sleep idleness fear and all evacuation and immoderate causes beget cold humours and cold diseases Dry diseases commonly accompany hot causes and humid diseases arise from cold causes for hot do ordinarily bring with them drowth and cold produceth humidity because it is the parent of crudities To find out therefore exactly the cause and effect of a Malady which is hid it is needful by a diligent inquisition and interrogation of all things which commonly are not natural causes to learn of the sick if he hath exposed himself to any intemperate or impure air if he hath committed any excess in meat or drink in watching or labouring or if he hath been too fierce in Venery if the spirit have not been troubled by passions or if some ordinary evacuation be not suppressed as the monthly courses to women and the flux of Emrods to men and so much the rather because he ought to enquire carefully of the things past because ignorance of the causes is not without great danger for if a fever should happen upon a long watching fasting or too much Venery then without consideration of the cause of the disease should they presently draw blood and purge they should hazard the life of the Patient seeing the disease came from evacuation but on the contrary he ought rather to repair the spirits by Analecticks or Restoratives and to augment the disease by drawing blood and Catharticks or Purgos PART II. To foresee the issue of the Disease CANON I. THe fundamental Laws of Prognosticks or Foreknowledge are taken from the things Natural not Natural and contrary to to Nature As of the Spring for the sickness may be foreseen and foretold to be salutiferous or mortal short or long by the spirits by the constitution of the body by the age of the Patient by the season by the form of life by the cause by the Espece or kind and by the siege of the evil with the symptomes which are remarkable in the change or diminution of the actions the excrements and in the quality of the body Canon 2. If the body be strong to obtain the victory over the disease without doubt the sick shall escape if not he shall die for none die so long as their spirit remains but so soon as the spirits begin to yield to the burden of the sickness then follows death Now to foretell the day of death good observation must be made how far the sickness surpasseth the spirits and well to mark the most violent access for it is observable that when the sickness doth transcend the spirits so as they can no longer resist death must necessarily follow but if it appear otherwise death shall not so soon approach So that the original of Prognosticks doth consist in conferring the spirits with the sickness for if Nature be strong enough to overcome the sickness then the Patient shall escape but if she be so weak that she cannot obtain the victory death then of necessity must follow and the Physitian must wait on the one or the other sooner or later according as the spirits are stronger or weaker hence it appears that all other signs salutiferous or mortal are no otherwise foresigns of life or death but as they point forth the strength or weakness of Nature in the combat with the sickness Canon 3. It is a great help to health to be of a moderate constitution of body that is neither too fat nor too lean for such a body hath great strength to resist any disease which doth present it self but where this moderation is not a gross body is in a worse case than a lean for they who are fat die sooner than such as are otherwise because the veins and arteries of grown fat people are narrow and strait and have but little blood and spirit so that the age concurring upon a light occasion the natural heat is choaked or extinguished but such as are of a lean and thin constitution because they have the veins and arteries larger and therefore contain more blood and spirits within them do not so soon incur the danger of death yet so it is that they are sooner troubled by external causes and that for want of flesh and fat so then the gross are more obnoxious to intern infirmities and the leane to extern Canon 4. Youth hath great strength to withstand a disease because he hath store of natural heat requisite to the concoction and excretion of the evil humours contrarily old age is not able to resist because of the defect of strength not having much natural heat hence it is that sickness stayes longer upon old people than young because they abound in cold humours the digestion whereof

disposition of the Arire the form of Life with the diseased and the sickness wherewith he useth to be molested for one is soonest overtaken with a disease wherewith their nature hath greatest familiarity so hot diseases are most frequently incident to hot bilious or cholerick people and cold sicknesses to cold lumpish natures and that as well to those who are such by Nature Habitude and Age as to those who are so by reason of the Region the season and the constitution of the Aire and albeit that all sorts of sickness may befall to all sorts of Persons of all Ages in all Places and Times yet they fall most frequently on the Temperament Age Place and time with the which they have some affinity an Epidemick or universall sickness is known incontinently by the running of it among the people seizing on many at one time All hereditary diseases as the Epilepsy or Falling-sickness the Gravell the Gout are suspected to be incident to Persons descended from Parents afflicted with such infirmities Moreover the kind of the disease is often found by using such things as hurt or help it for the hot intemperature doth encrease by the use of hot things but is mitigated by the use of cooling things the cold intemperature is contrary Canon 10. After the acquired knowledg of the disease search next for the Cause of it which is either externe or interne inward or outward The interne is twofold antecedent or conjoyned First then seek out the Cause conjoyned because it immediately produceth a disease it is therefore needfull to search whether it be wind or any other superabounding humour as Blood Choler Melancholly or Phlegme or any other thing contrary to nature as Stone lump of blood wormes or any other sort of Excrement the colour and nature of the Place the kind of the dolour and the sort of the Excrement these with the predominant humour in the body will serve for Marks Canon 11. For when the part inflamed is red it is full of Blood when yellow full of Choller that which is cold and white is replenished with Phlegme when blackish with melancholy for the colour of the skin doth commonly point forth the humour that is within divers parts are appointed for the engendring of divers humours excrementitious as the Liver for breeding of yellow Choler the Spleen of black Choler the Stomach the Lungs the Braine of Phlegme the Kidnies and Bladder of Gravell and the Stone the Guts of Wormes The pain pricks sore when it is caused of choler more moderate when it proceeds of blood blunt when it comes of Melancholy Phlegme or Wind except when they make great distention through their abundance If that which issueth forth by the Excrement be a portion of that which is continued within it shews either by the substance or colour what it is we shall speak hereafter of the predominant humour Canon 12. After the knowledge of the Cause conjoyned it followeth to know whether it be alone or if it be fostered and furnished by any other Cause antecedent that which gathers is by way of congestion through the fault of the part offended and is reputed to be alone but when all the body or any part of it doth exonerate it self on the member affected of any superabounding humour which overburdeneth there is th●n the Cause antecedent which doth accompany the conjoyned so there be two sorts of Causes interne to which Remedies must be used Canon 13. The Cause antecedent of the sickness is double the one is named Plethor or Plenitude the other is named Cacochymie or evil digestion Plethor is a repletion of all the humours equally augmented or of blood onely Cacochymie is a repletion of Choler Melancholy or Phlegme the signs both of the one and the other are taken both from the causes antecedent which do gather the humours that is to say from the temperature of the whole body and of the principal parts from the age season constitution of the Air from the Region Manner of living and of the evacuation ordinarily suppressed As also from the accidents that befall all the qualities of the body such as be the color the habitude the functions animal vital and natural as from the sleep dreams pulse concoction excrements of the diseases ensuing and of the things that hurt or profit Canon 14. There be two sorts of Plenitude the one called Plenitudo ad vires in which the blood though it be not excessive neither in quantity nor quality doth nevertheless overcharge the weak forces of Nature The other is Plenitudo ad vasa the which in quantity surpasseth the natural limits or bounds and this either light or gentle that is when it filleth onely the cavity of the vein not far exceeding mediocrity or it is excessive when it extends so that it almost rends the veins through the fulness of it by too great abundance and although it be very excessive yet it may be so that Nature be not choaked by it for commonly the force grows with the blood but if it fall out that the forces are abated then it is Plenitudo super vires When then in a Plethor the body is no way by a too great weight lazy or heavy and the force or strength remains still in one state it is onely a Plenitudo ad vasa but when the body becomes heavy lazy and doiled the sleep troubled and profound seeming to carry as it were something whilst he sleeps it is then Plenitudo super vires Canon 15. The causes that engender blood in abundance are signs antecedent of a Plenitude as the Complexion temperate of all the whole body but chiefly of the Livor and the Heart or else moderately hot and humid The Age growing is another for children and young folke have much blood because they are not far from their principes or beginning of their natural generation The Spring also is a cause for in it the Blood abounds for then the cold ceaseth and the waters descend Also good fare a pleasant passed life without care with moderate exercise and sleep The naturall evacuation of Blood suppressed or the artificiall for long time intermitted The Accidents which shew the domination of Blood in the body are the signes consequent of Blood such be the colour of the face and all the body red by the ordinary custome or mixed of red and white the swelling of the Veines equally appearing through all a manifest bending of the Vessels being full of Blood by measure a laziness or weariness coming of it self without any labour under the which the joynts by reason of their weight with great difficulty do move themselves for it is when the great Veines over-full of blood do exonerate themselves into the little and they again into the Muscles that they are thus filled and bended The Habitude of the body fleshy because it doth proceed of abundance of blood yea the Mediocre fleshy accompanied with a heat benigne and vaporous this is a signe of

of the face hard extended and dry the colour of the face pale or black livid or lead-coloured for if this deformity do not proceed of a manifest cause as of lack of sleep or of meat or by reason of a Flux of the belly without doubt it presageth death to be near for this great extenuation is made by the malignity of the disease Canon 22. Where a change is perceived through the whole body so that it is now cold then hot sometimes of one colour then of another it foretelleth a long disease for the indispositions diversly mixed are still longer than those that are of a fast form or fashion for Nature cannot tame or overcome more at once Now the changing of qualities and humours demonstrate the disease to be caused of divers humours in the coction whereof Nature hath need to employ much time for according to the variety of the humours within there appears a variety of colors without Canon 23. It is a good sign to have the Hypoconders that is the space under the short ribs on either side soft equal and without dolour but very evil to have them hard bended unequal and painful for as the former shews the good temperature of the Epigasticks or skins covering the Muscles of the Mesentery the Livor the Spleen and the Stomach so the later declares an intemperature that is an inflammation a skirrh or wind to be in those parts In all diseases it is good that the parts above the Navel and the inferiour part of the belly be gross fat and in good case for the Hypoconders gross and fleshy are marks of strength but the small and extenuate are evil both as signs and as causes for as much as they are signs of the debility of the parts extenuate and causes that the digestion is not well elaborate in the stomach nor the sanguification in the Livor for the grosness or fatness of the Epigastre or lower parts of the belly do augment the natural heat by the parts within being warmed they better digest the meat and so make better blood Canon 24. As to the consideration of the things that fall out in the body every good sign is not an assurance that the sick shall escape neither on the other side though evil signs appear are they to be taken for warrants that he shall die for a good sign may be over-weighed by an Evil being great and on the contrary an evil sign may be overcome a good being stronger Canon 25. The disease quits the sick either wholly at once by way of Crise or by little little by way of Resolution Crise is a sudden change of the Disease into Health or else into Death which is then when Nature separates the vicious humours from the good in order to expell them of it there be two sorts one is by Excretion and the other is by Absesse that comes by a flux of Blood or Sweat or by a flux of the Belly or Vomit or flux of the Urine Canon 26. The good Crise arrives on the 7 14 or on the 20 day wherefore these dayes are called Critical the future Crise was fore-seen by the signs of digestion appearing on the 4 11 and the 17 day hence these dayes are called by the Greeks 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 that is Indicatives Contemplatives for according to the doctrine of Hypocrates the 4 day is the indicative of the 7. the 8 is the beginning of the next moneth the 11 is also remarkable because it is the 4 of the second week and the 17 is also to be observed because it is the 4 after the 14 and the 7 from the 11. Canon 27. When the Crise is to be on the 7 day there is to be perceived on the 4 day preceding a red cloud in the water and other signs correspondent for because the 4 day points out the 7 if there appear any sign of concoction that day it forewarns the Crise to be on the 7 day where then there appears a cloud in the water not onely red but white and yet rather a white Hypostasis or ground united and equall if it so happen that the motion of the sickness be sudden it is a presage of the future Crise When the Crise draws near the night preceding is very troublesome but that which follows is ordinarily more easie to be endured for whilest Nature is making a separation between the good and evil humours which disagree in this exercise of nature the disease is much troubled but so it is that this great work appears the night before the Crise because the sleep is interrupted but the night which follows the Crise being perfect the humours are much more at their own ease because nature is disburthened of superfluous humours Canon 28. The universal signs by which one discovers the espece or kind of the Crise to come are taken from the kind of the Disease from the part that is diseased from the nature of the Patient for hot and quick diseases are ordinarily judged by excretion but the cold and long by Absesse If there be an inflammation in the gibbous or rising part of the Livor then must be expected a Crise by a flux of Blood at the right Nostrill or by a flux of Urine if the inflamation be in the hollow part of it then expect the Crise by a flux of the Belly or by Vomit or by Sweat The inflamations of the Brain and of all the Head are commonly judged by an Hemorragie or bleeding at the Nose but that of the Stomach and Mesentery are judged by Vomit or Flux downward Moreover a flux of Blood falls oftenest to young men cholerick overtaken with a hot Fever and a flux of the Belly to old men phlegmatick there the common and now here the proper Prognosticks of every Crise Redness of the Face and extreme dolour of the Head and Neck a beating of the Arteries in the Temples the distention of the Hypochonders with difficulty of breathing a dimnesse and watering of the Eyes singing of the Ears and itching of the Nostrils prognosticks the Crise to be a flux of Blood by the Nose A heat and heaviness of the Loynes with a pain and extension of the Hypogastre foreshews a Crise to be by a flux menstruall A suppression of the Water with a pricking and shivering through the whole Body with the Pulse soft and watry and the exteriour parts of the body hot and vaporous betokens that it will be a Sweat Belching Ventosities or Winds a bending of the Belly and pain of the Kidneys by a flux of the Belly loss of Appetite or loathing of Meat with a throwing of the Heart soreness of the Head giddiness great spitting bitterness in the Mouth and a trembling of the under-Lip these are prognosticks that a future Crise will be by Vomit When the signs of Concoction have gone before and when the motions of a Crise have been perceived then it may be expected by a flux of Urine if there
