Hippoc de morbis vulneribus Galen de vena sectione and then if the body abound with other humors a purgation is convenient but not strong at the first lest it stirre the humors too much out of season before the passages be open After this seeke to open the passages of urine about the reines partly with clyster partly outwardly by some fomentation lineaments insessions but yet too much use of these doth effoeminate the reines and make them more subject to the humors descending Then at length you may minister medicines which provoke urine breake and expell the stone Of which medicines there is great diversity For some help to mitigate the heate of the reins asswage the inflammation and hinder the gravell to grow together into a stone and such be cooling senifiers of roughnesse but not astringent as the foure lesse cold seeds 2. Some provoke urine either for that they augment it by attenuating the blood and separating it from the wheyish substance and carrying it to the reins these are hot and dry towards the third degree 3. Or some provoke urine because they minister much watery and wheyish moisture to the body which the reins drawing to them doe also draw some humors out of the veines as white wine plantaine and melons seed 4. Or some againe provoke urine not by augmenting the quantity but by clensing skouring the reines and dissolving and expelling gravell now beginning to grow together As turpentine root of rest-harrow betony fenell seed and root sperage juice of limmons root of sorrell maiden haire ceterac 5. Some againe provoke urine by both these qualities in ministring much wheyish matter also by clensing the passages 6. Some provoke urine by their roughnesse clensing the reines and robbing or fretting on the stone or gravell as glasse burned and beaten into pouder eggeshels gromill the stone it self which came from a man beaten into pouder 7 Lastly some provoke urine by an hidden and secret property as lapis Iudaicus cassia rheubarbe Those medicines which provoke urine in the second signification by augmenting the quantity are never to be used in any disease of the vessels of urine as emulgent veines reines water-conduits bladder or yard for thereby they are more hurt and obstructed by much quantity of urine passing that way But such medicines which doe coole the heate of the reins or which do clense and mundefie them from impurity already gathered and neither exceed in heat or drinesse but in subtle and piercing quality Or which by propriety of their substance help that way as those in the fourth and seventh signification and yet these are not at all or seldome to be used when the body is leane or in a consumption or full of blood and ill humors neither when the vessels of urine are exulcerated or obstructed or the passages strait or when the wombe or privy members have any swelling or ulcer or when the urine is suppressed the bladder being full or issueth with smart burning For in all these the medicines bring more impurity to the places grieved and so increase the disease neither are they to be used in swellings or breakings out of the skin lest they draw the griefe to the inward parts Of the strangury The strangury is caused either for that the urine is too sharp which doth provoke the expulsive faculty to expell it before any quantity be gathered together Or for that the retentive faculty to the bladder is weakened through some distemperature especially of cold Or else through some ulcer or inflammation of the bladder to which the urine comming doth extimulate the expulsive faculty Or lastly when the wombe or bowels being inflamed or swollen do trouble or distend the bladder as in women great with childe who oftentimes pisse little and often Now as the cause of the griefe is diverse so the medicines is likewise diverse for sharpnes of the urine whether it come of hot and salt meats too much heating the liver and reines or of medicines which burne the blood or of exercise which likewise heate the reines and bladder or lastly that the moisture in the glandulous parts is dried up by too much use of venery leanenesse or drinesse of the body must bee cured with contrary diet and medicine which moisten take away the sharpnesse and coole the blood as new laid egges chickens veale meats made of wheat and barley meale also lettuce purslane endive sorrell prunes cherries sweet apples cucumbers melons but mixe not here with too much salt vineger or other hot spices and if the body abound with sharp humors a gentle purgation is good of cassia manna whey diesebasten also decoctions of lettuce violets sorrell purslane adding thereto some licorize or prunes the flowers or leaves of malowes the root of holihoke And if the paine be raging it is good to make an injection by a syringe of the white of an egge with rose water or womans milke or the juice of purslane or plantaine c. But if the glandulous moisture be too much dried up you must use such meats and medicines inwardly and outwardly as doe moisten the parts as oyle of violets almonds hennes grease new butter also to make plaisters to be applied to the places about the privy members or injections to be squirted up into the yard or clisters to the same purpose Of the pissing evill The pissing evill is called when the patient pisseth as fast as he drinketh and in like quantity Or when he pisseth against his will and it chanceth either through default of the bladder or reines As when the retentive faculty of the bladder is decaied through distemperature of cold and moistnesse for too much cold doth extinguish the naturall heate of it which is of a cold and sinewie substance and without blood and too much moistnesse doth loosen the small strings serving to the retentive faculty or when the expulsive faculty is hurt through quantity or quality of the urine Or lastly when the muscle sphincter serving for voluntary motion is decaied or weakened either through cold or moistnesse loosening or obstructing or benumming the muscle as in the paulsie or is rent or wounded that it cannot doe his duty as some time happeneth to those who are cut for the stone in the bladder where either the unskilfull Surgeon doth make too great incision or the stone too big doth rent the muscle in comming out Whereupon though the wound groweth whole againe yet the weaknesse of the muscle remaineth this griefe is almost familiar to children who bepisse their beds in sleep through weaknesse and loosenesse Or this griefe happeneth through default of the reines being too hot and so draw the urine too fast from the liver and veines and the retentive faculty weak cannot hold the urine but sendeth it as fast to the bladder Now for the cure but I can say nothing of the

VII Of the signification of the contents of the Vrine in generall COntents are whatsoever is to be seene in the urine beside colour substance quantity perspecuity and darkenesse and they occupy sometime the top of the urine as spume bubbles circle sometime the highest part or region the whole urine according to his height being devided into three equall parts which are commonly called regions as the cloud nubes sometime the middle region as the sublation or swimme and lastly sometime and that most often the lowest region or sediment as gravell blood seed dust c. as hereafter follow Contents are sometime lacking in the urine and sometimes present Contents want in the urine for five causes 1. For want of matter which should make the contents As in great exercises sweat insensible perspiration hunger fasting laskes purgations either by vomite or stoole emerauds flowers c. also in meats which increase choler or cholericke diseases 2. Corruption of the matter and humors in the body whereby commeth neither nourishment nor excrement Actuar. 3. Crudity and lacke of concoction in whole men by much quaffing or thin small drinke or by diuretike potions which provoke urine Also pissing shortly after drinking before it receive any concoction or mixture with meat whereof contents come In sicke men in whom though humors doe abound yet they doe not issue with the urine but lurke in the veines overloading nature as in chronicall diseases Also in sharp agues in their beginning or increasing great weakenesse of nature not able to expell the contents And indeed in all humorall diseases beginning and increasing the contents are none at all
or little because nature as yet hath made no concoction or separation and in the state of the disease commonly contents are very few But in declination nature recovering her selfe and prevailing against the disease the contents cloud swimme and sediment also returne except in cholericke diseases where the cloud is sufficient Cappivac 67. 67.

Contents appearing in the urine are of two sorts for they are either partly naturall partly unnaturall sometimes good and sometimes ill Or else they be altogether unnaturall and alwayes ill In contents which are partly naturall partly unnaturall we consider as in the whole urine before colour substance and quantity Colour of the Contents White duely knit or hanging together equally signifieth good concoction in the liver and veines health rule of all other Not equally knit but thicker in one part then in another signifieth weak digestion crudity windinesse White not duely knitte or hanging together but ragged tattered and broken asunder equally crudity windinesse Not equally but thinner in one place then in another signifieth the falling evill windinesse grosse humors abounding in the body measils or small pockes where the colour waxeth red White as snow signifieth flegmaticke humors and crudities Pale flaxen blood turned into choler and evacuated Light saffron saffron red claret signifie crudities also blood thin and waterish yet wherein concoction is to bee looked for shortly Also choler abounding in sicke persons Reusn. 178. Continuance in tertian and quotidian agues especially bastard A good signe in agues which rise of abundance either of blood or ill humors in which the sediment is necessary before recovery can be looked for But in agues caused through heate of the Sun much labour or hunger the swimme or cloud is sufficient to signifie recovery of health although the sediment doth not appeare For reddish looke substance following Blood like to the washing of raw flesh signifieth abundance of blood Or else flux of blood issuing out as out of some veine broken But yet we must not be hasty in judgement by this colour but rather looke after under the title of pure blood voided Reusn. 181. Also it signifieth imbecility or obstruction of the liver which cannot concoct the blood and so it runneth to the bladder Blew leadish signifieth naturall heate extinguished or mortified and therefore great danger Greene blackish signifieth great exceeding heate or consumption and pining away Blacke signifieth either great cold if leadish colour went before and then the outward parts are cold Salvian 128. or great heate if greene colour went before and then heate thirst and other tokens of heate accompany it Both these are mortall as you may see in thicke substance and blacke colour Or else blacke contents signifie melancholike diseases or melancholy critically evacuated where it is a good sign of health because the humor is voided If signifieth also consumption of the reins with an ague the sediment oyly and fatty Reusn. 188. Lastly it signifieth beating bruising stripes and so come corrupt blacke and rotten blood is voided Substance of the contents is either mean thick or thin Substance meane is a good signe of health because it is according to nature Thicke contents generally signifie grosse and raw humors much abounding or imbecility of the second concoction And in diseases beginning and increasing an ill signe because they signifie abundance and trouble of humors before naturall heate hath concocted and attenuated them But in diseases declining a good signe if the colour and other signes be good nature being now of strength to make separation and expulsion of humors Thicke contents and of colour claret signifie abundance of blood or good and strong operation in digestion Reusner 203. but contents of colour blacke signifie great store of blood and the more blacke the greater adestion of blood Reusner 204. Thin contents which doe not easily arise nor trouble the urine when the urinall is shaken and moved Reusner 186. signifie raw humors or want of heate in the second concoction in whole men But in diseases rising of cold or ill juice thin substance sheweth great danger Because naturall heate is choaked and oppressed that it cannot expell the humour offending Contrariwise in sharp diseases or in diseases which rise of simple and bare distemperature without mixture of humors They are not very ill seeing humors are not the cause of the disease which voiding with the urine should make the contents thicke If the sediment lightly arise the urinall being shaken it argueth more heate Vass 71. If they continue either thicke or thin they signifie weaknesse of nature which should change them Argent 71. Quantity of contents is either much little or meane Much signifieth 1. Lacke of sufficient heate to attenuate and concoct the grosser parts so in winter drunkards sleepers idle persons women and children contents are moe Reusn. 64. 2.

Galen almost to the same purpose saith thus of urine mens urine is of a strong clensing vertue as any thing els and therewith doe fullers use to scoure and clense their cloath which abstersive faculty Physitians perceiving did use it to soke and wash manginesse and scabbednesse and running sores that are full of corruption and filth and especially if they have in them putrefied matter for such sores on the privy members it is good and for mattering eares and for scales and scurfe if the head be washed therewith I have healed with it many times sores on the tooes namely which came of bruises and were without inflammation and that in servants and husbandmen which had a journey to goe and no Physitian with them bidding them to wet a small clout with it and put it into the sores and then to binde a cloth about it and as often as they listed to make water to let it fall on their sore toes and not to take the cloath away till it were quite whole That medicine which is made of childes urine called chrysocolla or gold souder which Galen there teacheth to make is exceeding good for sores that are hard to heale for this medicine doe I use for the chiefest mixing therewith such other things as are good for such like sores Galen lib. 10. de simplie med. facult. cap. de urina Childes urine will heale the sting of a Bee Waspe and Hornet if the place be washed therewith It is good for travellers when they goe to bed to wash their thighes therewith that they may be able to continue their journey the next day and the rather if afterwards they anoint them with oyle and juice of rue Mans urine is also good against the gout which may appeare for that fullers are never troubled with the gout by reason that their feet are so often washed with it and some who have had good experience thereof with great successe doe highly commend it for this purpose Seeing then urine hath so many commodities and was in antient time in so great use as Dioscorides Galen Pliny Columella and all those that have written of cure of horses doe sufficiently testifie it came to passe that the Emperours of Rome got yearely revenues by urines as Suetonius reporteth of Vespasian who answered Titus reprehending him for seeking after gaines by such stinking wares in this proverbiall sentence Bonus est odor lucri ex requalibet Of diseases touching Vrine and the remedies thereof REcord in the latter end of his judiciall of urines setteth downe certain simple medicines for some diseases which hinder urine by whose example not altogether impertinent to this treatise I have likewise collected a briefe history of the said diseases with some medicines thereof And first of the stone The stone is engendred in mans body as a bricke which is first made of tough clay and put into an hot furnace where it waxeth hard so a stone is made of tough viscous and slimy flegme in the reines or bladder where through heate thereof it is parched and baked together into the hardnesse of a stone But that I may speake somewhat fullier thereof and yet briefly the materiall cause of the stone is as I said a tough slimy flegme and all causes which increase the same as all crudities and surfeits all meats grosse slimy and hard of digestion as milke new cheese all white meats made of milke all crusts of flower wherein meat is baked bread not well baked unleavened All flesh of great beasts especially old as beefe venison and all water-foule Great fishes especially those who abound in slimy moisture as eeles all shell-fish oysters cockles lopsters crevises All fruits which engender grosse humors peares apples gourds Roots which breed winde as parsneps turneps Also all new and thicke wine and drinke Likewise because heate of the reines doth bake and harden the said flegme and all causes which increase heate in the reines as too warme apparell whereby the backe and reines are kept too hot running leaping violent exercise also riding especially with his backe towards the Sunne standing against the fire with his backe and meats drinks and spices which increase heate Also when the vessels of urine the reines c. have too strait passages whereby that slimy flegme cannot have issue to be expelled but staieth within and thorough heate waxeth hard whereupon fat men through moistnesse and old men through drinesse having straight passages in the reines are more subject to the stone in the reines and lesse in the bladder contrariwise children though they are hot and abound with flegme thorough ill diet yet because their reines are wider and expulsive faculty strong whereby that flegmy matter is voyded are lesse troubled with the stone of the reines neither leane men for the selfe-same cause but both of them are rather troubled with stone of the bladder Hippor 3. Aphoris 26. Lastly an especiall cause of the stone are the parents from whom this grievous hereditary disease doth descend upon the childe and this of all other is hardest to be cure Now with like brevity to come to the cure seeing there be foure causes which help to breed the stone tough and slimy flegme heate to parch and drie it straitnesse of the passage and weaknesse of the expulsive faculty So many things as take away any of these helpe for the cure thereof as first a good diet brothes wherein borage fenell parsley endive or succory is sodden bread well baked and leavened hennes capons partridge mutton Of fish soles plaice trouts salmons Of herbs borage endive succorie sperage beetes And to come to the cure A vomit at the beginning and diverse times is of especiall use to draw the flegmy matter away from the reines and bladder then a suppositary to draw some superfluous excrements downewards and a clyster is to be preferred before a purgation because it draweth the excrements downewards from the reines whereas a purgation taken by the mouth doth alwaies draw some impurity downewards to the reines but yet the clister may not be too great in quantity lest it fill the guts and distend the reines and so increase the paine and stop the passage After that if the body be full of blood open the veine under the anckle and not in the arme as some would for all parts of the body grieved above the liver would be eased by opening a veine in the arme
evacuation of humors raw and superfluous from the veines spleene liver as in jaundice and so voiding with the urine being in colour red or yellow as in the beginning of continuall and intermitting agues 3. Confused urine is darke wherein no moats are perceived to swim or any other thing without distinction but the whole urine and every part thereof is all alike neither by standing setleth any residence or other thing to the bottome whereby it may waxe clearer and so continueth without alteration yea though it be chafed at the fire and in warme water and is like to wine which is changed and become dead with thunder or with age is waxed sowre or tart without clearenesse and brightnesse and this never riseth of diseases in the reines nor only of the inner parts but alwaies commeth from diseases of the veines neither doth it signifie abundance of raw humors but properly confusion putrefaction and corruption and that remedilesse malignam of the bloud and humors in the greater veines for putrefaction doth confound and shuffle all things together wherefore it is found onely in continuall dangerous and maligne agues By these I would have you to understand that such urine although it be not polluted with unclean reines doth not alwaies shew the state of the bloud and humors For oftentimes it is yellow thicke and troubled and yet the blood comming out of the veines by blood-letting is perfectly pure and red as it often chanceth in a quartane and tertian intermitting as also in the jaundice when superfluous choler doth ishue out of the liver and gall and other places and falleth into the veines and is not mixed with the blood but onely with the urine wherupon they are greatly deceived which in thick and red urine do presently command blood-letting as also it happeneth many times that the urine in colour substance and sediment is naturall and yet blood let out is faulty both in colour and substance such as are for the most part in the state vigor and before the critick day of continuall agues when the urines are perfectly concocted but the humor offending not at all moved and voided Fernel 451. 452.

And in the reines and vessels of urine as in the pissing evill Diabetes when through unnaturall heate and strength of the attractive faculty of the reines urine is drawne too fast from the liver and stomacke before it can receive any substance and colour and the retentive and digestive faculties of the reines being feeble and the expulsive strong the urine is presently voided often and much whereupon followeth great thirst heate in the reines wasting of the body costivenesse and if the griefe continue death Aegid.

froth or bubbles But Argenter misliketh this opinion for that in bastard agues quotians and tertians where both flegme and unnaturall heate abound which might stirre and puffe it up and yet froth doth not alwayes accompany these agues Therefore hee thinketh that froth in the urine is alwayes caused of motion and gives signification of rhewmes and destillations descending from the head into the inferiour parts c. They appeare in the urine being caused either of cause externall or internall Externall cause of fome froth and bubbles 1. Eating of pulse or fruit surfetting Fernel 2.

Thicke a better signe Thin a worse signe especially in agues signifying great griefe Blas Holler 162. Time of appearance Not appearing at the first and afterwards appearing signifie concoction or declination of an ague As in thicke urine See there Differences of spume froth and bubbles be three 1. Little bubbles granula like pinne-heads or little droppes of quicke-silver descending downewards towards the swimme under the crowne into the body of the urine signifie griefes of the head as rhewme which distilling downe into the inferiour parts of the body as to the nose maketh the pose to the eyes and causeth ophthalmie To the eares making a singing noyse and deafenesse To the pallat of the mouth and maketh the uvula to fall downe To the throat and causeth hoarsenesse To the mouth and causeth exulcerations To the jawes and mandible tooth-ache To the windepipe the cough To the lungs shortnesse of breath to the guts the colike iliake whereof sometime followeth a laske or flixe To the stomacke crudity To the huckle-bone sciatica To the joynts in the hands knees and feet the gout To the reines the nephresie Also the passages by which the rhewme distilleth are many as the arteries backbone and veines also the meat-pipe winde-pipe and sinewes But the rhewme descending from the head by any of these three last doth not necessarily cause bubbles in the urine Weâ— 2. Great bubbles Ampullae signifie griefe in the reines nephritis for the reins being cold and farre distant from the heart the fountaine of heate and rhewmatike matter also cold and heavy and descending downeward is also drawne by the reines and there for want of heate remaineth unconsumed and so breedeth griefe in the reines in urine thin and white bubbles Also according to Rhasis fluxe of blood at the nose If they be round plurisie Gout with rhewme and an ague 3. Spume froth signifie griefe in the middle members of the body as heart liver spleene c. rising of such causes as the colours of the urine shew Fern 453. Windinesse collike In yellow colour the jaundice In leadish oyly and palew the phthisicke But of fome spume and bubbles we can safely gather no generall precept save onely that they signifie abundance of grosse and raw humors which being moved in the body doe cause such spume and bubbles and so consequently length of the disease in strong and lusty persons and death in weake and feeble especially the spume and bubbles long continuing in great quantity Salvian 152. Droppes of fat like spider-webbes droppes of oyle swimming aloft signifie 1. Colliquation or consumption for the most part mortall of the whole body with an ague and then this fat is pissed slowly by little and little at severall times and in smal quantity and well mixed or incorporated into the urine but at the later end of the consumption when the patient is almost spent this fat ceaseth to issue with the urine being already dissolved and voided and the body decaying leane and dry Salvian 2. Colliquation of the reines and bladder onely without an ague the fat being pissed fast suddenly in good quantity at once and not so perfectly mixed with the urine and with paine and heate about the reines Yet Cardan saith that hee himselfe observed small slender spider-webbes in his owne urine every day for 40. yeares together and likewise in many other urines without any hurt at all and therefore he thinketh that these spider-webbes which signifie colliquation must be greater Salvian 164. 3. Inflamation of the liver 4. Criticall evacuation in concoction and declination of the disease of some humor offending whereby some fat member receiveth hurt and so part of his fat is dissolved Salvian 5. Oyle drunken Fernel CHAP. IX Of the smell of Vrine SMell of urine is either none at all 2. or sweet 3. or stinking No smell at all signifieth extreame and mortall cold in sharp diseases especially if stinking urines were made before and no ease of the patient succeedeth Salvian 60. Vassae 60. Argent Montanus 2. Sweet smell of the urine is either of cause externall or internall Externall cause as 1. Perfuming of the urine after it is made with muske junipet sylphium laserpitium styrax rosen of larch tree
the spermatike vessels in fluxe of seed the mother in tearmes suppressed and voided by urine the hemorrhoidall veins in the emeraudes the joynts in the sciatica or gout and diverse other parts of the body in evacuation criticall symptomaticall or artificiall Of all these you may finde severall examples in this treatise precedent CHAP. XIII Of crude concoct and dangerous urines BEcause mention is often made heretofore of crude concoct and dangerous urines as also that they be very needfull to be known perfectly alwayes had in memory seeing they comprehend in few words the sum of all that hath heretofore bin spoken I thought good in the end to adde the description thereof Concoct urine such as men onely make who are in some latitude of health is in colour palew light saffron substance meane contents equall white light smell not stinking pissing in due time without paine heate cold Crude urines onely Such as men make inclining to sicknes or recovering after sicknesse is in colour white pale saffron claret substance thicker thinner contents whitish pale somewhat unequall smell not much stinking pissing not in due time Vrines meane betwixt crude and concoct are of two sorts 1. For either they encline more to concoct Such as have a good colour but thin substance Also a white and light sediment but not equall 2. Or else they encline more to crude Such as have reddish colour like to water wherein raw flesh hath been washed which are made of blood not perfectly concoct Vrine Crude and dangerous such as men make who are grievously sicke and in danger not to recover is in colour greene ash colour blacke substance very thin very thicke oyly contents greene ash colour oyly blacke very unequall deformed smell very stinging pissing altogether out of due time Or not at all B. Holler 270. Cappivaâ— 195. CHAP. XIV Of methodicall practise in iudgement of Vrines BEfore you give judgement of the urine it is needfull that you meditate with your selfe on these precepts following in order 1. Remember the generall considerations in the first chapter both concerning the urinall and the urine As also which be the best urines simply and in respect of age sexe complexion time of the yeare kinde of life c. which you may have so perfectly in memory that you can presently tell how farre that urine which is brought unto you differeth from a good urine in colour substance contents c. 2. Whether the urine be altered by some externall cause mentioned in the first chapter and throughout the booke or else through default of the reines and bladder by which the urine passeth For these two impediments either severall or concurring hinder the judgement of the inner parts Fernel 443. 3. Consider what diseases are incident to the countrey where the patient dwelleth or what common disease is their stirrings as for example if the patient be an old man and in winter rainy weather and in a moist and fennish countrey it can hardly be otherwise but that he is troubled with a cough rhewme pose and lacke of digestion and the rather if he be given to surfetting much drinking and bee of a flegmatike complexion and heretofore troubled with rhewmatike diseases But contrariwise if hee be a young man and cholerike in the middle of summer hote weather hote climate after hote diet and immoderate exercise it is very likely that he is troubled with a burning ague tertian flixe or pluresie to which of these he is most subject or which at that time is most stirring in that countrey After this sort you may judge of other diseases without helpe of the urine 4. If the urine be faulty and yet neither through externall cause nor of the reines then it must needs shew some distemperature of the inward parts heart liver spleene lungs veines or other part of the body Which distemperature is either simple without mixture of humors which colour of the urine in thin substance will shew or with mixture of humors in a thicke and troubled substance or else putrefaction in a confused urine Which three be the internall causes almost of all diseases whereby you have already attained no small knowledge what to doe or what evacuation is convenient for the cure of the disease although you cannot as yet particularly understand the same Fernel 5. Of all differences of urines colour is most mutable and uncertaine of signification as being subject to many alterations of light cause As by much drinking thin drinke as water white wine or by eating of hote spices sena cassia c. yea in one day every urine that a man maketh is unlike an other in colour so that here especially the infamy that urine is a lying strumpet hath some appearance of truth Contrariwise the contents of urine are of most certaine and true signification of all other and least subject to alteration for that they are either fragments of the parts of the body or contained in the parts Of these Hippocrates and Galen especially make mention not greatly regarding the rest The other differences of urine substance perspecuity darknesse quantity smell c. are of meane signification betwixt colour and contents And yet every difference hath speciall signification above the rest in some diseases for stinking smell of urines giveth more perfit signification of putrefaction ulcers or impostumes then either colour substance or contents Suppression of urine in agues especially continuall giveth more certaine signification of death then thin substance ill colour or want of contents for these shew one crudity which in time is curable but the other happeneth through great obstructions of the reines liver or other superiour member which at that time are incurable Colours of urine collected in due time from an orderly patient giveth better signification of the humor loffending in the body then any other Lastâ—y contents issuing with the urine doe especially signifie strength of nature which in time will prevaile against the disease For when the digestive faculty is weake the matter whereof contents arise cannot be overcome and prepared to be voided So that every difference of urine hath some speciall signification above the rest Arg. 89. 6. Also you must often see the patients urine on divers daies and divers times of his sicknes and diligently marke the perseverance or alteration of the urine from time to time and whether it change from worse to better or otherwise For as the patient recovereth nature proceedeth orderly and by degrees from unperfect to perfect from sicknesse to health and so by little and little changeth the urine first the colour which is easiest secondly it waxeth cleerer thirdly the substance waxeth meane betwixt thin and thicke fourthly when concoction is stronger contents appeare And therefore if contents appeare first before colour cleernesse or substance there is the lesse security of health because this is not the orderly course of nature but some symptomaticall
cure of the muscle of the bladder for that being cut or wounded c. incurable First the humor offending must be removed and then the distemperature corrected the humor offending if it be heate must be removed by opening the liver veine in the right arme or by a gentle purgation of manna cassia tamarindes sirupe of roses solutine diasebesten and diaprunon but all without scammony and rather often to be used then much at once that thereby nature by little and little may be framed to void those humors by stoole which descend to the reines also a vomite stronger for to draw the humors from the reines and a sweat is not inconvenient to draw them to the skin and lastly to correct the distemperature and strengthen the parts use some of these cooling medicines as lettuce endive suckory forrell also decoctions and sirups of the same and besides of purslane roses violets and cooling meats and drinks For strong wines and which have power to provoke urine are not good Also a ceare-cloth applyed to the backe loynes and veines to coole them ceratum refrigerans unguentum rosaceum santalinam mesue But if the cause came of cold a vomit and sweat is likewise good also clysters wherein oyle of cammomill dill and bitter almonds must be used And now and then it is good to use pils of aloes and rheubarbe The diet must be of hote things and wherein some hot spices are put Lastly use of cupping glasses without incision friction of the outward parts and moderate exercise is convenient both because they heate the body as also draw the humor away from the inward parts And thus much briefly of these diseases not intending fully to handle the same FINIS THE TABLE A Ache in the backbone 85.
