mediocre to these of a middle age because that old men indures easily hunger next to them that are at the entry of the declining age worse then these young men worst of all boyes for they that are growing hath much of the natural heat and therefore hath much need of nourishment otherwise their body should consume but there is but little heat in old bodies wherefore they need not much nourishment because that too much should choake it Canon XXIX The great cavities in the body in Winter and in the Spring are naturallie hoter then at any other time and the sleep longer wherefore in these the dyat may bee larger heere by the cavities wee must vnderstand the stomacke the whole bellie containing the puddings and the rest of the naturall parts that are appointed for digestion But if yee desire to know why the natural heat is augmented in Winter Arist. attributs the cause to the circumsisting air that is colder chasing by this meanes the naturall heat inward while as in the Summer it extends the selfe ordinarly through the whole body towards the heat that is without as familiar to it Hence is it that in the Summer its substance is dissipat and exhals but in Winter it is holden in and keeped there and therefore all the coctions are the better made Canon XXX As to the forme and maner of dyat one should eat lesse in the Summer the Harvest ofter but in the Winter and Spring more seldome but more aboundantly because in the Summer and the Harvest hardly doth one digest meat in Winter verie easily but in the Spring some way well Canon XXXI Yee must nourish gentlie and repare by little and little the bodies that hath beene extenuat of long time and restore quickly these that hath quickly beene taken down Canon XXXII You must give meat to the sick when as the sicknesse gives intermission or release during the accesse abstaine from giving for meat then is hurtfull because that it withdraws nature from the digestion of the humor to the concoction of the nouritour as also because by it the cause of the disease is augmented Canon XXXIII Among the operations of chirurgerie phlebotomie or drawing of blood keepes the first rank because it is the common remead of diseases which proceeds of plenitud or fulnesse for by it an evacuation is made of the humors equally being for this the most exquisit of all other meanes Canon XXXIV Phlebotomie is not only a remead evacuative but also revulsive and derivative for it is profitable when wee turne the course of the flux to the opposit part or desires to turne it asid to the neighbour part Canon XXXV Wee must draw blood in hot fevers 'till the spirits faile and heart saint if so bee the forces bee strong also in great inflammations and extreame paines for if one draw blood in hot fevers till the heart faint all the body is incontinent cooled and the vehement heat extinguished to diverse after it there followeth a flux of the bellie and a sweat By this meanes some are wholly freed of the fever others receives great ease the vehemencie of their sicknesse having passed This sort of bleeding is likewise good in great inflammations both for the former reasons and for that it stops the flux causing the inflammation and so hinders the growth of the phlegmon by this same it appeaseth the great dolours caused of the heat of the fever and of the inflamtions wherefore there is not found a remead more soveraine for insupportable dolours than it Canon XLV You must draw much blood if the sicknesse doeth vrge and the forces doe permit if not by litle and litle and at diverse tymes for all extreame evacuations are dangerous and cheifly bleeding being al at once Canon XXXVII They to whom purging and blood drawing is profitable ought to be purged and bled in the spring For that season is very proper to make evacuation by phlebotomie or pharmacie because that at that time there is no extraordinar heat for to weaken the body by exhalation nor great cold to make it stiffe by congealing the humors in it nor yet inaequall to disturbe the forces but rather a mediocre temper Canon XXXVIII You must not without great cause or deliberation open a veine to a woman with child because that a woman with child bled is broght to bed before the time if the chyld be great because having drawne blood of a woman with chyld the chyld thereby frustrat of his food famishing in the matrix of the mother breaketh his bonds and seeketh foorth for nourishment and that before the time except the mother abound in blood for then yee may be so farre from fearing it that in the contrar if it be not administrat both the mother the child are in danger as hath beene remarked in the persons of the most illustrious dames in the court of France least the child should be choaked by the too great aboundance of blood Canon XXXIX Purgative medicines should be ordained to cacochymike diseases these that purges the bile to bilious they that phlegme to phlegmaticks and so of the rest for the cure of one cacochymie is made by a purgation which is particularly appropriat to the humor tha● exceedes and among the alterative potions the cold are appointed for the hot the hot for the cold the dry for the humids and the humid to the dry for the hot mistemper would be made cold and the cold made hot and such like of the rest Canon XL. Strong potions would be given to strong diseases and gentle medicins to more meik and gentle for extreame remedies are fitest for strong diseases hence the Romane oratour desyrous to show how a curagious man should interprise hazards sayes in the presenting of himselfe to dangers he must imitat the custome of the medicins that handles gently those that are but lightly troubled but in greater diseases are constrained to make vse of remedies more dangerous and doubtsome Canon XLI Wee must expell those things that requyres to be expelled by the wayes most proper whither nature chiefly tends and divert them if they make not there course by the way they ought the physition then ought curiously to mark the motion of nature and the inclination of the humor redounding to that end that if it tend to any place fitting to help it in the contrar if it seek for one vnfitting to hinder it and to draw it off that course So if phlegmatick or melancholick humors take the course downeward and nature haue essayed already to banish by the retract the fever the physition ought to prescribe a clister or some other proper remead for to stir vp nature and if a bilious humor bend vpward and nature strive to expell it at the mouth a vomit is expedient to be taken for that is to draw thither the humor whither nature aimes cheifly and if yee doe otherwise you shall change the order and course of nature
