Unless in the cures of Haemorroides which have long continued there be one vein kept open it is to be feared that a Dropsie or Convulsion will shortly follow That nature may by that means purge out those evil humors which remain APH. 13. The Hick●● troubling us is put away by sneezing If the said Hicket was caused by fulness For by sneezing not only the brain but the stomack also by reason of the nerves derived unto it is vehemently shaken whereby the humors exciting the Hicket are evacuated APH 14.

Vomiting coming by the meer benefit of nature dissolveth and riddeth away a long flux or loosness of the belly By reason of the retraction and drawing back of the humors which 〈◊〉 downward APH. 16.

Eunuchs or gelded men are neither troubled with the Gout nor with baldness Because in Hippocrates time they used a very good diet and lived very temperately they were not troubled with the gout though now adays they be and their not being bald comes from their native moisture which makes them have a very thick skin APH. 29.
