TO THE READER HAving accidentally met with a small Treatise written in Italian wherein is briefly discovered the Quality Choice Benefit Hurt and Remedy of all sorts of Edible Flesh Fish Fruits Herbs Grains and Roots of several sorts of Drinks Sawces c. Moreover of Air Exercise Rest Sleep Watching Repletion and Inanition Bathing Rubbing Venery Passions Affections and Perturbations of the Mind I judged that it might be acceptable and useful to my Compatriots or Country-men to make the said Treatise speak English to the end that every one might know what Rule and Measure he ought to observe in his Diet and manner of Living For although Health is at our Births proposed to us from Heaven yet there is also need of our constant Care and Diligence both tâ— procure and preserve it by our Diet as well as to recover it by Physick when it is lost whereof our Author hath largely treated in another Book which perhaps hereafter may likewise be made English I know well that there have been divers Books of this kind heretofore publish'd but the Method hereof being different from all those and some remarkable things here not found else-where also this Book being of a small price the Reader will take in good part the honest Intentions of the Publisher hereof A TREASURE OF HEALTH CHAP. I. Of Air. THE Air above all things is necessary for the preservation of Health and for the prolonging of our Life for all Animals live and stand in need of a continual refreshment of the â—eart the which is performed by the perpetual â—rawing in the Air whereby the Lungs are in a â—ontinual motion from the hour of our Birth to â—e hour of Death All things else may be avoided â—r some time except the Air which no man can want one hour Now Air compaâ—â—es us about on every side and changes our Bodies more than any thing besides because we dwell continually in it and feed upon this dish every moment And it may justly be affirmed that the Air may be more beneficial and more hurtful than eating and drinking The chiefest way of preserving the Health consisting therefore in the election of a good Air we ought to choose that which is most clear anâ— serene towards the East not subject to darâ— Clouds nor corrupted with the stinking Vapour of Lakes standing Pools Marshes Dunghils Privies Caverns Quagmires or where much Dust is for by reason of the dusty Air about the Garamantes now called Guanguara a Countrey in Africa the Men can scarce arrive to the Age of forty yearâ— And where the Air is naught it consequently happens that the Water is not good the which nexâ— to the Air helps to corrupt our Bodies togetheâ— with the Food which in a thick and gross Aâ— ought to be thin and subtil as in a thin Air ought to be gross That Air therefore is requisitâ— in the conservation of Health which renders thâ— Days light and serene pure and temperateâ— whereas on the contrary the gross thick turbâ—lent and infected does destroy the Health Thâ— naughty and unwholsom Air is the cold and Northern as also the Southern likewise the noctuâ—nal Air especially under the Rays of the Mooâ— and in the open Air And no less pernicious is thâ— windy and tempestuous corrupted with unwhoâ—som Vapours such as is the stinking Putrefactioâ— of dead Animals and other nasty Smells fâ—â— such Air hurts the Head and offends the vital Spâ—rits and with its overmuch moisture and humidâ—ty it loosens the Joynts and disposes them very much to receive all sort of Superfluities as does the Air which fetches a Vapour out of the Dust and is infectious Against which there is great need that we carefully defend our selves for that entring into the Body and obstructing the Passages hinders the circulating of the animal Spirits Choose therefore the temperate Air which is the lucid clear and purest for that does not only cause Health but which is more preserves it a long while by purifying all the Spirits and the Blood chearing the Heart and the Mind strengthens all the Actions easeth Digestion preserves â—he Temperament prolongs Life retarding and â—eeping off old Age. And on the contrary the â—ark and thick Air clouds the Heart troubles the Mind renders the Body heavy and unactive hinâ—ers the Concoction and hastens old Age. The â—emperate Air is easily known if presently after â—un-set it grows cool and if at Sun-rising it soon â—rows hot This Air agrees with all Ages all Comâ—lexions with all times and all seasons and not â—nly the turbulent and windy Air is unwholsom â—ut that likewise which is always still and quiet â—herefore when the Air exceeds in any quality it â—ught to be allayed and corrected with its contraâ—y And if that cannot be done by natural ways â—ought to be prepared artificially so that if the â—ir should be too hot and sultry as it is in Sumâ—er you should sprinkle the House with fresh â—ater or Vinegar for the Vinegar with its coldâ—ess and dryness qualifies the unwholsom Vapours ã€ˆâ—Šã€‰ the Air and hinders Putrefaction And if they â—row the Floor with Flowers and odoriferous â—erbs which have a moist and humid quality as Violets Roses tops of young Oaâ—s leaves of thâ— Vine of Lettices or Willows Nenufars or Water-Lillies boughs of the Mastick tree and otheâ— cool Leaves and in the mean time you shoulâ— take
