Energetical and Active Particles of its Ingredients Essere Sora Sare they are little Pushes or Wheals something red and hard which quickly Infect the whole Body with a violent itching as if one were stung with Bees or Wasps or Flies or Nettles yet they vanish after a little time and leave the Skin as smooth and well-coloured as before This Disease differs from an Epinyctis in this that an 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

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

What proceeds onely from things Extrinsic as in Riding Navigation c. 2. What proceeds partly from other things partly from those who are moved as in Gladiators and Wrestlers 3. What comes from those onely who exercise as in walking and the Ball and best of all in Hand-ball the end of Exercise is Threefold likewise either Heat Sweat or Breath and this is sufficient Exomphalos is a Protuberance of the Navel common to Infants Exophthalmia is a protuberance of the Eye out of its natural Position Exostosis is a Protuberance of the Bones out of their Natural place Expiratio is an Alternate Contraction of the Chest whereby the Air together with Fuliginous Vapours is expelled by the Wind-pipe the cause of Expiration does not seem to consist in the contraction of the Chest but in the Relaxation of the Tunic of the upper part of the Gullet and the Wind-pipe for take that away and you take away the Motion of the Chest and Abdomen Explosio is an action of the Spirits whereby the Nerves are suddenly Contracted the reason is That some Heterogeneous Particles are mixed with the Animal Spirits or that they are driven into a confusion like Gun-powder out of a Gun Expulsio the same with vis Expultrix Expultrix vis according to the Ancients was that facultie which expell'd the Excrements but we need not have recourse to those blind Faculties since we know that this is performed by the Animal Spirits which cause the Peristaltic Motion of the Guts Exstasis is a

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

sometimes a Relaxation or Palsy in some other Muscles which when they are relaxed the opposite Muscles act too strongly so that they draw the part wholly to themselves which ought to consist as it

from the Motion of a Nerve of the par vagum and the Intercostal which for want of Nourishment is moved inordinately in the Stomach whereby we are impell'd for Animal Spirits to those Motions of our Members which are most conducive to the procuring of Nourishment It is occasioned in as much as the Animal Spirits being any way excited about the middle of the Brain shoot thence towards the body of the Nerves or it may be thus defin'd appetitus alimentarius is an incitement to seek Nourishment proceeding from an acid Humor which arises from a ferment in the Stomach with which the Nerves being vellicated they communicate the sense of want of Nourishment to the Brain which want the Brain naturally judges ought to be supplied Apsychia is a Deliquium of the Mind Aptystus is want of Spittle so

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 are Excrescencies of Flesh growing about the Fundament from a preposterous use of Coition the Roots whereof are often Chapt and Cleft Christa Galli is the Third part of the Bone Ethmoides or the inner

the same that Crisis Crithe or Hordeolum is a little Oblong Push or Swelling which grows to the Eye-brows where the Hairs are so called from its resemblance to a Barly-corn Critici dies are those 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
