A62931	A new-years-gift for Doctor Witty, or, The dissector anatomized which is a reply to the discourse intituled, An answer to all that Doctor Tonstall has writ, or shall hereafter write, against Scarbrough spaw.	Tonstall, George, b. 1616 or 17.	1672 (1672)	Wing T1888; ESTC R21567	56,564	200

matter is the material cause of stone is no less than a gross mistake Spirit of Urine mixt with pure Spirit of Wine they both do coagulate together into a firm Salt Fermented Urine distilled before half be cummed over there is found all about the sides of the receiver a Sabulous matter Sat namque constat says Helmont delithiasi p. 683. quod in lotio humano etiam sanorum semper sit proxima materia invisibilis semen ad duelech But if Doctor Witty be willing to learn and can understand Helmont well he may be informed by that Author how stones are bred in our Bodies Vbi Spiritus Vrinae invenit volatile non coagulatum coagulabile tamen quia terreae indolis suum exserens coagulum constringit eandem aporrhaeam in terram consercisque viribus utrimque fit nova creatura quae est nativitas duelech Helmont p. 687. The efficient cause of stone it cannot be because it is cooling for says he Thus the stones are bred the fiery heat of the Reins and circumjacent parts condueeth some Crass matter into Gravel and Stone even as Potters Clay is by heat hardned into a stone Who will blot Paper to tell him how Helmont has confuted this irrational opinion which is contrary to the judgment of Hippocrates Sennertus and with him all Modern Authors that has not put their Thumbs under Galens Girdle yea contrary to the experience of all afflicted with that distemper who can feel that Stone and Gravel causeth the heat in the Reins and circumjacent parts and not the heat of them causeth the Stone in as much as they find if ever the petrifying Spirit be extinct and gone they are never more troubled with any preternatural heat in those parts than others that know not what fits of Stone meant If heat were the cause sine quâ non of Gravel and Stone in the Kidneys how easily were it by the Galenical method to prevent it for ever a little Vng Populeon or refrigerous Galeni would do the feat I would know of him how it comes to pass that there are great stones bred in the Bladder so frequently suppose heat were there as much as in a Potters Furnace it could not harden Crass matter into stone there because the water continually coming thither would keep it moist Again how could stones be bred by heat in the hollow of the Lungs as in Mr. Procters case which continually sucks in cooling Air. How comes it to pass that old men quatenus such are more subject to stone than others of middle age Thou seest that Dr. W. in his description of the stone is of the question both as to matter and form But says he Our Author accuseth it as a material cause I accuse Scarbrough to breed the stone both as a material and efficient cause He goes on perhaps I might be beguiled in taking up Sand with the Water which made me look upon it as an inseparable adjunct of the Water What a wearisomness is it to answer such trifling words why did did not the Dissector before he fell on his work try the water by boyling it and then if he did not find a great deal of gretty stone powder at the bottom of the Vessel he might have put his Whittle to my throat and said to me Tonstall thou lyest perhaps indeed he did try it but we hear not a word of that But he further urgeth p. 42. All Mineral Waters will let fall something to the bottom called Ochre yet Learned Writers on the subject never thought the worse of them I know Allom waters will let fall its Glebe as Vitrioline do their Colcothar neither do I think the worse of them for it The Spaw at Malton does so which is an Allom water If Scarbrough were as innocent as this Doctor Witty and I should soon agree together I declare and publish that I have Experimented this Water as I did that at Scarbrough and it lets fall no gretty stone powder to the bottom Hereby Doctor Witty is plainly confuted in two things First That I picked a quarrel with Scarbrough only for by-ends and out of a mean design to draw Patients from thence to Knaisbrough If I had been so basely Spirited I would not have told him thus much of Malton which he confesses p. 201. first Edition To be of like vertue and in operation as quick and strong as that at Scarbrough Here let him set up and if he can bring the Patients from Knaisbrough to him thither I shall not complain Secondly He is confuted by this also that it is a peculiar fault in Scarbrough as it is a petrifying water not as an Allom water that it casts a gretty stone powder to the bottom in the boyling Yet another evasion Doctor Witty relates a notable Experiment shown before several persons of quality I wonder I met not with it in his Letter at large to the R. S. Two quarts of Spaw water passeth through the filter whilst it is cold cleaverly leaving not a grain of Sand behind and thence he infers that if they drink the water unwarm'd it will he doubts not pass through the Body as easily leaving no dregs behind as it did in the filter I 'le set another Experiment against this dissolve Pearl prepared with Sp. of Venus in springing water filter it and it shall go all through not leaving a grain behind Were it true therefore that this Pearl-water would so pass through the Body as it did the filter then save but the Ladies water that drank it and we may find the Pearl again and that an hundred times over If Swelfer were alive he should thank Doctor Witty who by this Experiment would prove that his Spir. veneris is tantum non the liquor Alkahest He endeavours again to put by the force of this Argument by affirming pag. 43. Though the fire make a separation of the gross parts of the water from the pure yet the natural heat in the Bowels doth not so when we drink it but the water passeth through the body as pure as we put it into our mouths His first proof is a most impertinent instance of the blood which is flued in our veins yet exhaled on the fire it will be thick like Starch Let Doctor Witty who is a Master of Secrets yet will tell me none take the liquor Alkahest and first digest the blood with it then set it on the fire and he will see that all the blood will be exhaled and no thick matter left behind He considers not that the different parts of our body are indued with divers Functions 't is the faculty of the veins and arteries quam diu custodes bene se habent to circulate the blood which also evaporates through the pores without separation of any Sediment or caput mortuum because of the natural Alkahest that recides there 't is the faculty of the bowels by the Ferments there to make separation betwixt pure and impure and to leave a Sediment
