make and this requires two scopes to remove the compacted matter and that we take away the cause hereof We have already discoursed of Repulsion we more properly in this place and time speak of Digestion or Discussion This Digestion is an Evacuation of a thin matter gathered in a part by insensible Evaporation procured by the natural heat encreased by proportionate Medicines And this is said to be performed four waies for first the Humour is to be made thin then resolved into a Vapour afterwards drawn from the Center to the Circumference and lastly expelled or thrown forth by the pores of the Skin and these therefore do show that the proper Medicine to be here used is to be a Digestive a Medicine hot and dry in the third degree and of thin parts Of these Digestives some are mild some strong some simple others compound Of the simples are Dill Rue Chamomile Ammoniacum Galbanum white Lillies Lupines Fenugreek and the like Such as are stronger are Time Origanum Mint Pennyroial Hyssop and the like Of the strongest sort are Sulphur vivum and Chalk c.

XIII Of a Tumour tending to Suppuration THE true waies and methods of curing Tumours we have already shown but it oft times doth happen that a Tumour doth tend to suppuration that is the influxed Blood is converted into pus or matter whence doth arise another method of curing And here Galen doth propose two waies which are performed either by Digestion or Concoction but the first is the best for these two things follow concoction two much generation of this matter and an Abscess made hereof into another place In respect of its generation its long in curing in respect of the Abscess the Inflammation oft times doth run it self into another disease as oft times into a Gangrene as Jubertus observed in the wife of Rondeletius As touching the efficient cause of Purity or Matter Gal. offereth lib. de inaequ intemper cap. 3. that in an inflamed part there is found both a native and an extraneous heat the first preserving the part and doth administer such things to it as belong to its health and welfare the other Extraneous ariseth from the influxed Blood prolapsed out of the vessels and there putrifying this being contrary to the former and so doth destroy and pull down or extinguish the natural heat The first matter is thick laudable white equal well tasted but if the other prevail it appears livid red or black thin inequal grumous The Tumour offers it as a sign of its tending to suppuration by its intenseness and when the inflammation is great and the pain vehement and doth daily encrease and when pulsation joins with

LXVIII Of a Paronychia and Pterygion IT s place and seat is generally at the Fingers ends here it fixeth it self and from hence does it send forth its pains It s Figure is longish somewhat Oval It is a Preternatural Tumour apostemated small and scarce perceivable beginning at the Fingers ends arising from a hot venenate and nitrous Blood and oft times places it self between the Bone and the Periostium At its first appearance it is mild and gentle but afterwards grows fierce and troublesom causing pains Fevers sometimes a Caries and Putrefaction of the Bones It 's called Paronychia because it is a Distemper 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 marching to the roots of the Nails Fabritius de Aqua Pendente maketh no difference between Paronychia and Pterygion Pterygion is a Hyposarcosis or Excrescence of the Skin and this does not immediately reach the Nail Aeginetta cap. 81. lib. 3. shews the difference where he calls Panaritium an Abscess fixing it self about the roots of the Nail Pterygion to be an Increment of Flesh spreading out of another part of the Nail The Blood of its nature is hot here being kept in and denied a Difflation Redness arising from this great Heat Pain from this Intemperancy and Solution of Continuity by this violent Matter distending and aggravating the nerveous tendonous and membranous parts These are sometimes said to be bred by an inward cause occasioned by a nitrous sharp cholerick venenate fervid and most thin Blood or Humour the which is infixed in the affected part External Causes may be Contusions after which followeth an Ecchymisis of Blood under the Cutis or between it and the tendonous parts or between the Bone and Periostium this Blood being putrefied large Inflammations increase and Pain and other Symptoms appear The Generation of this nitrous Blood is to be hindered and that it may not flow is to be intercepted and revelled and that which hath already flown is to be weakened by Repercussives or Suppuratives but of these in their order Revulsive Medicines are such as are to be applied to the opposite part and these are hot and attracting amongst which may be reckoned Scarrification Friction Vesication and the like Interceptives commonly called Defensatives have a Stiptick Faculty shutting the Mouths of the Vessels and by the Coldness and Stipticity they thicken coagulate and hinder the Flux of Blood Of either of these you may find various in my former Tracts Of Repellers these are Cold Moist and Restringent and do repell the inâ—â—uent Blood and hinder its coming to the part affected So long as you have any hopes of repelling an Humour follow this freely where this is not to be done come to the use of Suppuratives Take this one for all in this place most proper â„ž Pulv. rad Bismalv Consolid Major an â„¥ ss sem Lin.

With this let the Tents be armed which are to be put into the Orifice afterwards apply a mundefying Powder to cleanse the Ulcer and keep it open for near two moneths and then close up the Wound with a Cicatrice I conclude with a History of Hildanus who writes of a Commissary 40 years of age a man strong and of a good Habit of Body vexed for many years with a watery Rupture unto whom both many inward and outward Medicines were prescribed and applied without any success and it growing to a great bulk that it occasioned a large Tumour in the Scrotum and proved so painful that the Patient would rather yield to any Method which could give appearance of ease his Body being prepared and a good order of Diet ordered him with administring Purgings and their reiterations with Bleeding c. he being conveniently placed the Scrotum was opened in the upper part of the Coat Erythrois and this on the fore part somewhat separated and because the whole Testicle did swim in water which was contained in that Coat that the water might make no further descent with a crooked Needle and double Thread the whole Coat and Seminary Vessels were moderately taken up and bound after this in the lower part of the Ligature the Membrane was divided lengthways and by degrees was drawn forth some pounds of Water after which was applied a Pledget long and thick enough dipped in the White of an Egge Bol. Armen and the like then was applied the same Digestive I formerly have described and with this were armed the Tents and Pledgets and over these Vnguentum Basilicon and with all care the Ulcer being mundefied digested and filled with Flesh it was skinned and the Patient perfectly recovered Riverius relates another story of a Child of 15 moneths old who was troubled with a watery Rupture in his right side of his Testicle with Matter contained in the Dartos equalling the bigness of a small Egge and this he had almost from his first coming into the world how he received his Cure I will commit you to the Author himself CHAP. LX. Of Pneumatocele or Hernia ventosa THis windy Rupture does happen with and without a Dropsie if with a Dropsie cure the Dropsie and the Rupture will be dismissed if without a Dropsie we are to use Topical Medicines and these ought to be Digestives and purge the Body from the flegmatick and windy Humours and if possibly gain a digestive faculty in the Stomach and these you have already prescribed in Tumours arising from wind This Tumour is known from the former because it is more lucid and red than it the Veins are puffed up and the splendour appears more bright than the former and is suddenly framed and as speedily discharged And having already furnished you with Medicines for discharging the Antecedent Cause we now arrive at the Conjunct Cause which is this flatuous Spirit

Abditor writes of a Person of Quality who having his viscera and Stomach so filled with Wind that it proved very troublesome to him and when the part was compressed there was perceived no exition and hence not onely the Bowels and the Brest but the Scapulaes also were extended with incredible pain and the Spirits very narrowly conâ—ined all convenient and proper Medicines being prescribed and used without any effect the third day the Gentleman dieth the dead Body being dissected the Intestines and the other viscera were seen to be much swelled and puffed up with wind and in the left Ventricle of the Heart was found a hard Callosity equalling the largeness of a Nut and these two were generally held to be the onely Causes of his Death CHAP. LXI Of Sarcocele or Hernia carnosa THis is a Tumour contra naturam which is generated about the Testicles out of a Scirrhous Flesh or it is a Tumour bred out of the defluxion of thick Humours which are collected between the Coats of the Testicles and they there not assimulating there oft times grows as it were a Hyposarcosis oft times Varices accompany the Tumour and these are very troublesom and these Humours being thick and viscid bred from Flegm and Melancholy as they breed Scirrhous Tumours in other parts so also do they generate a hardness in these It is known by its Hardness Asperity Inequality and Indolency It ariseth from Melancholy it having a sublucid colour If it ariseth from Flegm it does not differ from the colour of the Cutis If it ariseth from burnt Melancholy it hath a pricking pain and the Tumour is inequal in some places soft in others hard If the Tumour be not confirmed cure it as you do a Scirrhus by using Emollients then Discussives but the last seldom does any good here But if these fail you are to come to Section but if it be Cancerous attempt nothing Matthiolus affirmeth that he hath absumed a Sarcocele by the onely using of Pulvis Radicis Anonidis being taken for many moneths But if it yields not to Medicine Incision is the next remedy and this way or method is not void of danger the Testicle being either left in or taken out And by the way we are to consider that if any fleshy substance grows about the Coats or Testicles this is wholly and absolutely to be taken away in this case for more safety the Vessels are therefore to be drawn out and tied and afterwards incised and cauterized for to leave any part hereof does more represent the ignorance of a Quack than knowledge of an Artist for no Son of Art will give the advantage of a new growth whenas he may well prevent any appearance of the same by a careful managing of his Operation and taking care of preventing all accidents for a small quantity but left remaining will soon run up like a rank Weed to a great bulk and this in a short time grows worse and worse If the Tumour be not very hard the Chirurgion comprehending the whole Tumour that is the whole tumefied Substance in the Testicle every way encompassing it let him make his Incision even to the Tumour above the Scrotum then abduce the Testicle from the Scrotum drawing a strong Needle and Thread through the middle Process above the Region of the tumefied Testicle and then drawing it back again through the same part of the Process then tie both of them these being performed cut off the whole Process the Testicle being concluded with it It being ablated apply a Repercussive Medicine and strengthen the neighbouring parts with convenient rollings and bolsterings and heal up your Ulcer as you do others Fabritius Hildanus tells a very pleasant story of a young man who embracing his Mistress in Veneral Ceremony he being near ready to eject his Spermatick succus was prevented of his intended purpose by a Messenger which rushed in unawares by opening the Chamber door and disturbing him in his pursuit on which his Sperm receded and was retained Upon which a pain seized on his Groin his Testicles tumefied and the pain began to be remiss in his left Testicle and the Tumour vanished and returned to its former state but about the right the Tumour continued the which in process of time turned into a great fleshy Rupture and he being called to the Patient amongst other Physicians in consultation saw not onely Flesh about the Testicle concreted but found it also extended with serous Humours so that it equalled near the largeness of a Childs Head CHAP. LXII Of Circocele or Hernia Varicosa THis is nothing else than
