Epinyctis Sweats out Matter but an Essere does not Esthiomenos is a Winding Inflamation that consumes the parts it proceeds from this that the little Pappie Substance of the Skin keeps a certain sharp Humour in it which for want of Perspiration corrupts and gnaws not onely the Skin with its Acrimonie but the parts which are under it Ethmoides is the Bone which resembles a Sieve placed above the inner part of the Nose and full of little holes to receive the Serous and Pituitous Humours from the soft Pappie Processes of the Brain Evacuatio Evacuation is either of the Blood when it abounds too

Humores in Secundinis Humours in the Three Membranes that cloathe the Faetus in the Womb are Three in those Animals which have Bladders at the beginning when the Eggs falls down from the Testicles into the Womb the Humours which are to this purpose in the bottom of the Womb first sink into the Membrane called Chorion and then into the Amnium but in progress of time when the Faetus is Formed and the Navel Vessels are extended to the Chorion and the Amnium we imagine that the Nutritious Humour being received by the opening of the Veins is carried to the Faetus and thence by the Arteries some part of it is carried into the Amnium as into the Childs Store-house so that at the said time the Liquor of the Membrane Amnium may be encreased upon this double account At last when the time of delivery draws near that way of Sweating through seems to cease and the other onely to take place unless as Wharton Writes The Nutritious Humour descend from the Placenta by the Navel-string and by the little soft Protuberances thence pass into the Cavity of the Amnium The use of these Humours is to nourish the Faetus at the Mouth The Third Humour is the Urine which flows from the Bladder by the Urinarie Passage into the Urinarie Membrane Hyaloides is the Vitrous Humour of the Eye contained betwixt the Tunica Retina and the Aven Hybona is an Incurvation of all the Vertebres Hydatides are

of Water and Oyl Hydrenterocele is a falling of the Intestines together with Water into the outward Skin of the Cods Hydroa are certain little broad moist itching Pimples like Millet-Seed sometimes without itching which render the Skin Ulcerous and rough the occasion of them is that Nature endeavouring to expel the sweat by the Skin is hindred sometimes by its thickness so that the Matter being lodged there and the Subtiler parts being either carryed back by the Lymphatic Vessels or Evaporated the Skin swells This Distemper is familiar and common to Boys and Young Men especially of a hot Constitution when they use too much Exercise in Summer it infects the Neck Shoulder-Blades Breast Arms Thighs yet more frequently the Secret Parts and the Fundament Hydrocele is a swelling of the
