languisheth and becommeth dull By this we have delivered it may be perceived that the running of virulent strangury is not the running of a seminal humor fit for generation of issue but rather of a viscous and acrid filth which hath acquired a venenate malignity by the corruption of the whole substance CHAP. XVII Of the causes and differences of the scalding or sharpness of the urine The cause of a particular repletition of the privy parts THe heat or scalding of the water which is one kinde of the virulent strangury ariseth from some one of these three causes to wit repletition inanition and contagion That which proceeds from repletion proceeds either from too great abundance of blood or by a painful and tedious journy in the hot sun or by feeding upon hot acrid diuretick and flatulent meats causing tension and heat in the urinary parts whence proceeds the inflamation of them and the genital parts whence it happens that not only a seminal but also much other moisture may flow unto those parts but principally to the prostata which are glandules situate at the roots or beginning of the neck of the bladder in which place the spermatick vessels end also abstinence from venery causeth this plentitude in some who have usually had to do with women especially the expulsive faculty of the seminal and urinary parts being weak so that they are not of themselves able to free themselves from this burden For then the suppressed matter is corrupted and by its acrimony contracted by an adventitious and putredinous heat it causeth heat and pain in the passage forth The prostata swelling with such inflamed matter in process oftime become ulcerated the abscess being broken The purulent sanies dropping and flowing hence alongst the urinary passage causes the ulcers by acrimony which the urine falling upon exasperates whence sharp pain which also continueth for some short time after making of water and together therewith by reason of the inflamation the pains attraction and the vaporous spirits distension the yard stands and is contracted with pain as we noted in the former Chapter But that which happens through inanition The causes of the inanition of the genital parts is acquired by the moderate and unfit use of venery for hereby the oily and radical moisture of the fore-mentioned glandules is exhausted which wasted and spent the urine cannot but be troublesome and sharp by the way to the whole Vrethra From which sense of sharpe pain the scalding of the urine hath its denomination That which comes by contagion is caused by impure copulation with an unclean person or with a woman which some short while before hath received the tainted seed of a virulent person or else hath the whites or her privities troubled with hidden and secret ulcers or carrieth a virulent spirit shut up or hidden there which heated and resuscitated by copulation presently infects the whole body with the like contagion no otherwise then the sting of a Scorpion or Phalangium by casting a little poison into the skin presently infects the whole body the force of the poison spreading further then one would believe so that the party falls down dead in a short while after Thus therefore the seminal humor contained in the prostatae is corrupted by the tainture of the ill The reason of a contagious Strangury drawn thence by the yard and the contagion infects the part it self whence follows an abscess which â—asting forth the virulency by the urinary passage causeth a virulent strangury and the malign vapor carried up with some portion of the humor unto the entrials and principal parts cause the Lues Venerea CHAP. XVIII Prognosticks in a virulent Strangury WEe ought not to be negligent or careless in cureing this affect for of it proceed pernicious accidents as we have formerly told you and neglected A virulent Strangury continues with some during their lives it becoms uncurable so that some have it run out of their urinary passage during their lives oftimes to their former misery is added a suppression of the urine the prostatae and neck of the bladder being inflamed and unmeasurably swelled Copulation and the use of acrid or flatulent meats increase this inflamation and also together therewith cause an Ischuria or stoppage of the urine they are worse at the change of the Moon certain death follows upon such a stoppage An History as I observed in a certain man who troubled for ten years space with a virulent strangury at length died by the stoppage of his water He used to be taken with a stopping of his urine as often as he used any violent exercise and then he helped himself by putting up a silver Catheter which for that purpose he still carried about him it happened on a certain time that he could not thrust it up into his bladder wherefore he sent for me that I might help him to make water for which purpose when I had used all my skill it proved in vain when he was dead and his body opened his bladder was found full and very much distended with urine but the prostatae preternaturally swelled ulcerated and full of matter resembling that which formerly used to run out of his yard From what part the matter of a virulent strangury flows whereby you may gather that this virulency flows from the prostatae which runs forth of the yard in a virulent strangury and not from the reins as many have imagined Certainly a virulent strangury if it be of any long continuance is to be judged a certain particular Lues Venerea so that it cannot be cured unless by frictions with Hydragyrum But the ulcers which possess the neck of the bladder are easily discerned from these which are in the body or capacity thereof For in the latter the filth comes away as the patient makes water and is found mixed with the urine with certain strings or membranous bodies coming forth in the urine to these may be added the far greater stench of this filth which issueth out of the capacity of the bladder Now must we treat of the cure of both these diseases that is the Gonorrhoea and virulent Strangury but first of the former CHAP. XIX The chief heads of curing a Gonorrhoea LEt a Physician be called who may give direction for purging bleeding and diet if the affect proceed from a fulness and abundance of blood and seminal matter Diet. all things shall be shunned which breed more blood in the body which increase seed and stir to venery Wherefore he must abstain from wine unless it be weak and astringent and he must not onely eschew familiarity with women but their very pictures and all things which may call them to his remembrance especially if he love them dearly strong exercises do good For a Strangury occasioned by repletion as the carrying of heavy burdens even until they sweat swimming in cold water little sleep refrigerations of the loins and genital

humiliated to the sense they may use the proper and common qualities of things for their essential differences and forms How a definition differs from a description As on the contrary Philosophers may refuse all definitions as spurious which consist not of the next Genus and the most proper and essential differences But seeing that through the imbecillity of our understanding such differences are unknown to us in their places we are compelled in defining things to draw into one many common and proper accidents to finish that definition which we intend which for that cause we may more truly call a description because for the matter and essential form of the thing it presents us only the matter adorned with certain accidents This appears by the former definition in which Division and Resolution stand for the Genus because they may be parted into divers others as it were into species That which is added over and besides stands in place of the difference because they separate and make different the thing it self from all other rash and unartificial dissections We must know an artificial division is no other than a separation of one part from another without the hurt of the other observing the proper circumscription of each of them which if they perish or be defaced by the division it cannot be said to be artificial And thus much may suffice for the parts of the definition in general The subject of Physick For as much as belongs to the explication of each word we said of Mans body because as much as lies in us we take care of preserve the health and depel the diseases thereof by which it may appear that mans body is the subject of Physick not as it is mans or consists of matter and form but as it is partaker of health and sickness Gal. lib. 1. de usu part lib. 1. Meth. We understand nothing else by a Part according to Galen than some certain body which is not wholly disjoyned nor wholly united with other bodies of their kinds but so that according to his opinion the whole be composed therewith with which in some sort it is united and in some kind separated from the same by their proper circumscription Furthermore by the parts in general The similar parts are nine I understand the head breast belly and their adjuncts By the particular parts of those I understand the simple parts as the similar which are nine in number as a gristle bone ligament membrane tendon nerve vein arterie musculous flesh some add fibers fat marrow the nails and hairs other omit them as excrements but we must note that such parts are called simple rather in the judgment of the sense than of reason For if any will more diligently consider their nature they shall find none absolutely simple because they are nourished have life and sense either manifest or obscure which happens not without a nerve vein and artery How the bones come to feel But if any shall object that no nerve is communicated to any bone except the teeth I will answer that nevertheless the bones have sense by the nervous fibers which are communicated to them by the Periosteum as by whose mediation the Periosteum is connext to the bones as we see it happens to those membranes which involve the bowels And the bones by this benefit of the animal sense expel the noxious excrementitious humors from themselves into the spaces between them and the Periosteum which as indued with a more quick sense admonisheth us according to its office and duty of that danger which is ready to seise upon the bones unless it be prevented Wherefore we will conclude according to the truth of the thing that there is no part in our body simple but only some are so named and thought according to the sense although also otherwise some may be truly named Simple as according to the peculiar and proper flesh of each of their kinds The compound or organical parts Those parts are called Compound which are made or composed by the mediation or immediately of these simple which they term otherwise organical or instrumental as an arm leg hand foot and others of this kind And here we must observe that the parts are called simple and similar because they cannot be divided into any particles but of the same kind but the compound are called dissimilar from the quite contrary reason They are called instrumental and organical because they can perform such actions of themselves as serve for the preservation of themselves and the whole as the eye of it self without the assistance of any other part seeth and by this faculty defends the whole body as also it self Four particles to be observed in each organical part Wherefore it is called an instrument or organ but not any part of it as the coats which cannot of it self perform that act Whereby we must understand that in each instrumental part we must diligently observe four proper parts One by which the action is properly performed as the Crystalline humor in the eye another without which the action cannot be performed as the nerve and the other humors of the eye The third whereby the action is better and more conveniently done as the tunicles muscles are The fourth by which the action is preserved as the eye-lids and circle of the eye The same may be said of the hand which is the proper instrument of holding for it performs this action First by the muscle as the principal part Secondly by the ligament as a part without which such action cannot be performed Thirdly by the bones and nails because by the benefit of these parts the action is more happily performed Fourthly by the veins arteries and skin for that by their benefit and use the rest and so consequently the action it self is preserved But we must consider that the instrumental parts have a fourfold order Four sorts of instrumental parts They are said to be of the first order which are first and immediately composed of the simple as only the authors of some one action of which kinds are the muscles and vessels They are of a second which consist of these first simple and others besides as the fingers They are counted of the third rank which are composed of parts of the second order and some besides as the hand taken in general The fourth order is the most composed as the whole body the organ and instrument of the soul But you must observe that when we say the muscles and vessels are simple parts we refer you to the sense and sight and to the understanding comparatively to the parts which are more compound but if any consider their essence and constitution he shall understand they are truly compound as we said before Now it remains that we understand that in each part whether simple or compound Nine things to be considered in each part nine things are to be considered as substance quantity

VIII Of the Angina or Squinzy What it is THe Squinancy or Squincy is a Swelling of the jaws which hinders the entring of the ambient air into the Weazon and the vapours and the spirit from passage forth and the meat also from being swallowed The differences There are three differences thereof The first torments the Patient with great pain no swelling being outwardly apparent by reason the Morbisick humor lyes hid behind the Almonds or Glandules at the Vertebrae of the Neck The first kind so that it cannot be perceived unless you hold down the Tongue with a Spatula or the Speculum oris for so you may see the redness and tumor there lying hid The Symptoms The Patient cannot draw his breath nor swallow down meat nor drink his tongue like a Gray-hound's after a course hangs out of his mouth and he holds his mouth open that so he may the more easily draw his breath to conclude his voyce is as it were drown'd in his jaws and nose he cannot lye upon his back but lying is forced to sit so to breathe more freely and because the passage is stopt the drink flies out at his Nose the Eyes are fiery and swollen and standing out of their orb Those which are thus affected are often sodainly suffocated a foam rising about their mouths The second kind The second difference is said to be that in which the tumor appears inwardly but little or scarse any thing at all outwardly the Tongue Glandules and Jaws appearing somewhat swollen The third The third being least dangerous of them all causes a great swelling outwardly but little inwardly The Causes The Causes are either Internal or External The External are a stroak splinter or the like thing sticking in the Throat or the excess of extreme cold or heat The Internal causes are a more plentiful defluxion of the humors either from the whole body or the Brain which participate of the nature either of bloud choler or flegm but seldom of Melancholy The signs by which the kind and commixture may be known have been declared in the general Treatise of Tumors The Squincy is more dangerous by how much the humor is less apparent within and without That is less dangerous which shews it self outwardly because such an one shuts not up the wayes of the meat nor breath Some dye of a Squincy in twelve hours others inâ—â—o four or seven days Hip. sect 3. proe 2. Apâ—â—r 10 sect 5. Those saith Hippocrates which scape the Squincy the disease passes to the Lungs and they dye within seven dayes but if they scape these days they are suppurated but also oftentimes this kind of disease is terminated by disappearing that is by an obscure reflux or the humor into some noble part as into the Lungs whence the Emprema proceeds and into other principal parts whose violating brings inevitable death sometimes by resolution otherwise by suppuration The way of resolution is the more to be desired it happens when the matter is small and that subtle especially if the Physitian shall draw bloud by opening a vein and the Patient use fitting Gargarisms A Critical Squincy divers times proves deadly by reason of the great falling down of the humor upon the throttle by which the passage of the breath is sodainly shut up Broths must be used made with Capons and Veal seasoned with Lettuce Purslain Sorrel and the cold Seeds If the Patient shall be somewhat weak let him have potched Egges and Barly Creams Diet. the Barly being somewhat boyled with Raisons in Water and Sugar and other meats of this kind Let him be forbidden Wine in stead whereof he may use Hydromelita and Hydrosachara that is drinks made of Water and Honey or Water and Sugar as also Syrups of dryed Roses of Violets Sorrel and Limmons and others of this kind Let him avoid too much sleep But in the mean time the Physitian must be careful of all because this disease is of their kind which brook no delayes Wherefore let the Basilica be presently opened on that side the tumor is the greater Cure then within a short time after the same day for evacuation of the conjunct matter let the vein under the tongue be opened let Cupping-Glasses be applyed sometimes with scarification sometimes without to the neck and shoulders and let frictions and painful ligatures be used to the extreme parts But let the humor impact in the part be drawn away by Clysters and sharp Suppositories Repelling Gargarisms Whilst the matter is in defluxion let the mouth without delay be washed with astringent Gargarisms to hinder the defluxion of the humor lest by its sodain falling down it kill the Patient as it often happens all the Physitians care and diligence notwithstanding Therefore let the mouth be frequently washed with Oxycrate or such a Gargarism â„ž Pomorum sylvest nu iiij sumach Rosar rub an m. ss berber Ê’ ij let them be all boyled with sufficient quantity of water to the consumption of the half adding thereunto of the Wine of sour Pomgranats â„¥ iiij of Diamoron â„¥ ij let it be a little more boyled and make a gargle according to Art And there may be other Gargarisms made of the waters of Plantain Night-shade Verjuyce Julep of Roses and the like But if the matter of the defluxion shall be Phlegmatick Alum Pomgranat-pill Cypress-nuts and a little Vinegar may be safely added But on the contrary Repercussives must not be outwardly applyed but rather Lenitives whereby the external parts may be relaxed and rarified and so the way be open either for the diffusing or resolving the portion of the humor You shall know the humor to begin to be resolved if the Feaver leave the Patient if he swallow speak and breathe more freely if he sleep quietly and the pain begin to be much asswaged Ripening Gargarisms Therefore then Nature's endeavour must be helped by applying resolved medicines or else by using suppuratives inwardly and outwardly if the matter seem to turn into Pus Therefore let Gargarisms be made of the roots of March-Mallows Figs Jujubes Damask-Prunes Dates perfectly boyled in water The like benefit may be had by Gargarisms of Cows-milk with Sugar by Oyl of Sweet-Almonds or Violets warm for such things help forward suppuration and asswage pain let suppurating Cataplasms be applyed outwardly to the neck and throat and the parts be wrapped with wooll moistned with Oyl of Lillies When the Physitian shall perceive that the humor is perfectly turned into pus let the Patients mouth be opened with the Speculum oris and the abscess opened with a crooked and long Incision-knife then let the mouth be now and then washed with cleansing Gargles as â„ž Aquae hordei

Of the kinds or differences of a broken Skull NOw that we have briefly treated of Wounds in general that is of their differences signs causes prognosticks and cure and also shewed the reason of the accidents and symptoms which usually follow and accompany them it remains that we treat of them as they are incident to each part because the cure of wounds must be diversly performed according to the diversity of the parts Now we will begin with the wounds of the head The differences of a broken Head Therefore the head hath the hairy scalp lightly bruised without any wound otherwhiles it is wounded without a Contusion and sometimes it is both contused and wounded but a fracture made in the skull is sometimes superficiary sometimes it descends even to the Diploe sometimes it penetrates through the 2 Tables and the Meninges into the very substance of the Brain besides the Brain is oft-times moved and shaken with breaking of the internal veins and divers symptoms happen when there appears no wound at all in the head of all and every of which we will speak in order and add their cure especially according to the opinion of the divine Hippocrates He in his Book of the wounds of the head seems to have made 4 or 5 kinds of fractures of the skull The kinds of a broken Skull out of Hippocrates The first is called a fissure or fracture the second a contusion or collision the third is termed Effractura the fourth is named Sedes or a seat the fifth if you please to add it you may call a Counterfissure or as the interpreter of Paulus calls it a Resonitus As when the Bone is cleft on the contrary side to that which received the stroak Differences from their quantity Differences from their figure From their complication There are many differences of these five kinds of a broken skull For some fractures are great some small and others indifferent some run out to a greater length or bredth others are more contracted some reside only in the superficies others descend to the Diploe or else pierce through both the Tables of the Skull some run in a right line others in an oblique and circular some are complicated amongst themselves as a Fissure is necessarily and alwayes accompained with a Collision or Contusion and others are associated with divers accidents as pain heat swelling bleeding and the like Sometimes the Skull is so broken that the Membrane lying under it is pressed with shivers of the Bone as with pricking needles Somewhiles none of the Bones fall off All which differences are diligently to be observed because they force us to vary cure and therefore for the help of memory I have thought good to describe them in the following Table A Table of the Fractures of the Skull A Fracture or Solution of continuity in the Skull is caused either by Contusion that is a collision of a thing bruising hard heavy and obtuse which shall fall or be smitten against the head or against which the head shall be knocked so that the broken Bones are divided or Keep their natural figure and site touching each other whence proceeds that fracture of the Skull which is called a fissure which is Either manifest and apparent that is To your sight To your feeling Or instrument Or obscure and not manifest when as not the part which received the blow is wounded but the contrary thereto and that happens either In the same Bone and that two manner of ways as On the side as for example when the right side of the Bone of the Forehead is strucken the left is cleft Or from above to below as when not the first Table which received the blow is cleft but that which is under it In divers Bones to wit in such men as want Sutures or have them very close or disposed other-wayes then is fit and this opposition is either From the right side to the left and so on the contrary as when the right Bregma is struck and the left cleft From before to behind and the contrary as when the Forehead is smitten the Nowl is cleft Or between both that is the obscure and manifest as that which is termed a Capillary fissure and is manifested by smearing it over with Oyl and writing Ink. Or lose their site and that either Wholly so that the particles of the broken Bone removed from their seat and falling down press the Membrane whence proceeds that kind of effracture which retains a kind of attrition when as the Bone struck upon is broken as it were into many fragments shivers and scales either apparent or hid in the sound Bone so that it is pressed down Or in some sort as when the broken bone is in some part separated but in others adheres to the whole Bone whence another kind of effracture arises you may call it arched when as the Bone so swels up that it leaves an empty space below Or by incision of a sharp or cutting thing but that incision is made either by Succision when the bone is so cut that in some part it yet adheres to the sound Bone Rescission when the fragment falls down wholly broken off Or Seat when the mark of the weapon remains imprinted in the wound that the wound is of no more length nor breadth than the weapon fell upon Another Table of the
Of the differences causes signs and cure of an Hective Feaver A Hective Feaver is so called either for that it is stubborn and hard to cure and loose The reason of the name as things which have contracted a habit for Hexis in Greek signifies a habit or else for that it seises upon the solid parts of our bodies called by the Greeks Hexeis both which the Latin word Habitus doth signifie There are three kinds or rather degrees of this Feaver The differences thereof The first is when the hectick heat consumes the humidity of the solid parts The second is when it feeds upon the fleshy substance The third and uncurable is when it destroys the solid parts themselves For thus the flame of a Lamp first wastes the Oyl then the proper moisture of the weâ—k Which being done there is no hope of lighting it again what store of Oyl soever you pour upon it This Feaver very seldom breeds of it self but commonly follows after some other Wherefore the causes of a hective Feaver are sharp and burning Feavers not well cured The causes especially if their heat were not repressed with cooling Epithems applyed to the Heart and Hypochondria If cold water was not fitly drunk It may also succeed a Diary Feaver which hath been caused and begun by some long great and vehement grief or anger or some too violent labour which any of a slender and dry body hath performed in the hot Sun It is also oft-times caused by an ulcer or inflammation of the Lungs an Empyema of the Chest by any great and long continuing Phlegmon of the Liver Stomach Mesentery Womb Kidneyes Bladder of the Guts Jejunum and Colon and also of the other Guts if the Phlegmon succeed some long Diarrhoea Lienteria or Bloudy-flux whence a consumption of the whole body and at last a Hectick Feaver the heat becoming more acrid the moisture of the body being consumed The Signs This kind of feaver as it is most easily to be known so is it most difficult to cure the pulse in this feaver is hard by reason of the dryness of the Artery which is a solid part and it is weak by reason of the debility of the vital faculty the substance of the heart being assaulted But it is little and frequent because of the distemper and heat of the heart which for that it cannot by reason of its weakness cause a great pulse to cool it self it labours by the oftenness to supply that defect Why in hecticks the heat is more acrid after meat But for the pulse it is a proper sign of this feaver that one or two hours after meat the pulse feels stronger than usual and then also there is a more acrid heat over all the Patients body The heat of this flame lasts until the nourishment be distributed over all the Patients body in which time the dryness of the heart in some sort tempered and recreated by the appulse of moist nourishment the heat increases no otherwise than Lime which a little before seemed cold to the touch but sprinkled and moistned with water grows so hot as it smoaks and boyls up At other times there is a perpetual equality of heat and pulse in smalness faintness obscurity frequency and hardness without any exacerbation so that the patient cannot think himself to have a feaver yea he cannot complain of any thing he feels no pain which is another proper sign of an hectick feaver The cause that the heat doth not shew its self is it doth not possess the surface of the body that is the spirits and humors The signs of a hectick joyned with a putrid Feaver but lyes as buried in the earthy grosness of the solid parts Yet if you hold your hand somewhat long you shall at last perceive the heat more acrid and biting the way being opened thereto by the skin rarified by the gentle touch of the warm and temperate hand Wherefore if at any time in these kind of feavers the Patient feel any pain and perceive himself troubled with an inequality and excess of heat it is a sign that the hectick feaver is not simple but conjoyned with a putrid feaver which causeth such inequality as the heat doth more or less seise upon matter subject to putrefaction for a hectick feaver of it self is void of all equality unless it proceed from some external cause as from meat Certainly if an Hippocratique face may be found in any disease it may in this by reason of the colliquation or wasting away the triple substance In the cure of this disease you must diligently observe with what affects it is entangled and whence it was caused Wherefore first you must know The cure whether this feaver be a disease or else a symptom For if it be symptomatical A symptomatical hectick it cannot be cured as long as the disease the cause thereof remains uncured as if an ulcer of the guts occasioned by a Bloudy-flix shall have caused it or else a fistulous ulcer in the Chest caused by some wound received on that part it will never admit of cure unless first the fistulous or dysenterick ulcer shall be cured because the disease feeds the symptoms as the cause the effect An essentialâ— hectick But if it be a simple and essential hectick feaver for that it hath its essence consisting in an hot and dry distemper which is not fixed in the humors but in the solid parts all the counsel of the Physitian must be to renew the body but not to purge it for only the humors require purging and not the defaults of the solid parts Therefore the solid parts must be refrigerated and humected which we may do by medicins taken inwardly and applyed outwardly Things to be taken inwardly The things which may with good success be taken inwardly into the body for this purpose are medicinal nourishments For hence we shall find more certain and manifest good than from altering medicines that is wholly refrigerating and humecting without any manner of nourishment The benefit of medicinal nourishments For by reason of that portion fit for nutriment which is therewith mixed they are drawn and caryed more powerfully to the parts and also converted into their substance whereby it comes to pass that they do not humect and cool them lightly and superficially like the medicines which have only power to alter and change the body but they carry their qualities more throughly even into the innermost substance Of these things some are Herbs as Violets Purslain Bugloss Endive Ducks-meat or Water-lentil Mallows especially when the belly shall be bound Some are fruits as Gourds Cowcumbers Apples Prunes Raisons sweet Almonds and fresh or new Pine-Apple kernels in the number of seeds are the four greater and lesser cold seeds and these new for their native humidity the seeds of Poppies Berberies Quinces The flowers of Bugloss Violets Water-lillies are also convenient of all these things let Broth be
for such as live for they did not so much as suspect or imagine so horrid a wickedness but either for that they held an opinion of the general resurrection or that in these monuments they might have something whereby they might keep their dead friends in perpetual remembrance Thevet not much dissenting from his own opinion writes that the true Mummie is taken from the Monuments and stony Tombs of the anciently dead in Egypt the chinks of which tombs were closed and cemented with such diligence the inclosed bodies embalmed with precious Spices with such Art for eternity that the linnen vestures which were wrapt about them presently after their death may be seen whole even to this day but the bodies themselves are so fresh that you would judg them scarse to have been three days buryed And yet in those Sepulchers and Vaults from whence these bodies are taken there have been some corps of two thousands years old The same or their broken members are brought to Venice from Syria and Egypt and thence disperst over all Christendom But according to the different condition of men the matter of their embalments were divers for the bodies of the Nobility or Gentry were embalmed with Myrrh Aloes Saffron and other precious Spices and Drugs but the bodies of the common sort whose poverty and want of means could not undergo such cost were embalmed with asphaltum or pissasphaltum Now Mathjolus saith that all the Mummie which is brought into these parts What our Mummie usually is is of this last kind and condition For the Noblemen and chief of the Province so religiously addicted to the Monuments of their Ancestors would never suffer the bodies of their friends and kindred to be transported hither for filthy gain and such detested use as we shall shew more at large at the end of this work Which thing sometimes moved certain of our French Apothecaries men wondrous audacious and covetous to steal by night the bodies of such as were hanged and embalming them with Salt and Drugs they dryed them in an Oven so to sell them thus adulterated in stead of true Mummie Wherefore we are thus compelled both foolishly and cruelly to devour the mangled and putrid particles of the carkasses of the basest people of Egypt or of such as are hanged as though there were no other way to help or recover one bruised with a fall from a high place than to bury man by an horrid insertion in their that is in mans guts Now if this Drug were any way powerful for that they require they might perhaps have some pretence for this their more than barbarous inhumanity But the case stands thus that this wicked kind of Drug Mummie is no way good for contusions doth nothing help the diseased in that case wherefore and wherein it is administred as I have tryed a hundred times and as Thevet witnesses he tryed in himself when as he took some thereof by the advice of a certain Jewish Physitian in Egypt from whence it is brought but it also infers many troublesome symptoms as the pain of the heart or stomach vomiting and stink of the mouth I perswaded by these reasons do not only my self not prescribe any hereof to my Patients But hurtful and how but also in consultations endeavour what I may that it be not prescribed by others It is far better according to Galen's opinion in Method med to drink some Oxycrate The effects of Oxycrate in Contusions which by its frigidity restrains the flowing bloud and by its tenuity of substance dissolves and discusses the congealed clots thereof Many reasons of learned Physitians from whom I have learned this History of Mummie drawn from Philosophy whereby they make it apparent that there can be no use of this or that Mummie in contusions or against flowing or congealed bloud I willingly omit for that I think it not much beneficial to Chirurgeons to insert them here Wherefore I judg it better to begin to treat of Combustions or Burns CHAP. VIII Of Combustions and their Differences ALl Combustions whether occasioned by Gunpowder or by scalding Oyl Water The reason and symptoms of Combustions some metal or what things soever else differ only in magnitude These first cause pain in the part and imprint in it an unnatural heat Which savouring of the fire leaves that impression which the Greeks call Empyreuma There are more or less signs of this impression according to the efficacy of the thing burning the condition of the part burned and stay upon the same If the combustion be superficiary the skin rises into pustules and blisters unless it be speedily prevented If it be low or deep in it is covered with an Eschar or Crust the burnt flesh by the force of the fire turning into that crusty hardness The burning force of the fire upon whatsoever part it falls leaves a hot distemper therein condensates The 〈…〉 the 〈…〉 sing But 〈…〉 contracts and thickens the skin whence pain proceeds from pain there comes an attraction of humors from the adjacent and remote parts These humors presently turn into waterish or serous moisture whilst they seek to pass forth and are hindered thereof by the skin condensated by the action of the fire they lift it up higher and raise the blisters which we see Hence divers Indications are drawn whence proceeds the variety of medicins for Burns For some take away the Empyreuma that is the heat of the fire as we term it and asswage the pain other hinder the rising of blisters othersome are fit to cure the ulcer first to procure the falling away of the Eschar Variety of medicins to take away the heat and asswage the pain then to clense generate flesh and cicatrize it Remedies fit to asswage pain and take away the fiery heat are of two kinds for some do it by a cooling faculty by which they extinguish the preternatural heat and repress or keep back the bloud and humors which flow into the parts by reason of heat and pain Others endued with contrary faculties are hot and attractive as which by relaxing the skin and opening the pores resolve and dissipate the serous humors which yield both beginning and matter to the pustules and so by accident asswage the pain and heat Refrigerating things are cold water the water of Plantain Nightshade Henbane Hemlock the juyces of cooling hearbs as Purslane Lettuce Plantain Housleek Poppy Mandrake and the like Of these some may be compounded as some of the fore-named juyces beaten with the white of an Egge Clay beaten and dissolved in strong Vinegar Roch-Alome dissolved in water with the whites of Egs beaten therein writing-Ink mixed with Vinegar and a little camphire Unguentum nutritum and also Populeon newly made These and the like shall be now and then renewed chiefly at the first until the heat and pain be gone But these same remedies must be applyed warm for if they should be laid or put to
Whilst I more attentively intended these things another mischief assails my Patient to wit Convulsions and that not through any fault of him or me but by the naughtiness of the place wherein he lay which was in a Barn every where full of chinks and open on every side and then also it was in the midst of Winter raging with frost and snow and all sorts of cold neither had he any fire or other thing necessary for preservation of life to lessen these injuries of the air and place Now his joints were contracted his teeth set and his mouth and face were drawn awry when as I pitying his case made him to be carried into the neighbouring Stable which smoaked with much horse dung and bringing in fire in two chafendishes I presently anointed his neck and all the spine of his back shunning the parts of the Chest with liniments formerly described for convulsions then straight way I wrapped him in a warm linnen cloth Burying in hot horse-dung helps Convulsions and buried him even to the neck in hot dung putting a little fresh straw about him when he had stayed there some three dayes having at length a gentle scouring or flux of his belly and plentiful shut he begun by little and little to open his mouth and teeth which before were set and close shut Having got by this means some opportunity better to do my business I opened his mouth as much as I pleased by putting this following Instrument between his teeth A Dilater made for to open the mouth and teeth by the means of a Screw in the end thereof Now drawing out the Instrument I kept his mouth open by putting in a willow stick on each side thereof that so I might the more easily feed him with meats soon made as with Cows milk and rear egs untill he had recovered power to eat the convulsion having left him He by this means freed from the Convulsion I then again begun the cure of his arm and with an actual cautery seared the end of the bone so to dry up the perpetual afflux of corrupt matter It is not altogether unworthy of your knowledg that he said how that he was wondrously delighted by the application of such actual cauteries a certain tickling running the whole length of the arm by reason of the gentle diffusion of the heat by the applying the caustick which same thing I have observed in many others especially in such as lay upon the like occasion in the Hospital of Paris After this cauterizing there fell away many and large scales of the bone the freer appalse of the air than was fit making much thereto A fomentation for a Convulsion besides when there was place for fomentation with the decoction of red Rose leaves Wormwood Sage Bay-leaves flowers of Camomil Melilote Dill I so comforted the part that I also at the same time by the same means drew and took away the virulent Sanies which firmly adhered to the flesh and bones Lastly it came to passe that by Gods assistance these means I used and my careful diligence he at length rocovered Wherefore I would admonish the young Chirurgeon Monsters or miracles in diseases that he never account any so desperate as to give him for lost content to have let him go with prognosticks for as an ancient Doctor writes that as in Nature so in diseases there are also Monsters The End of the Twelfth Book The THIRTEENTH BOOK Of Vlcers Fistulaes and Haemorrhoides CHAP. I. Of the nature causes and differences of Ulcers HAving already handled and treated of the nature differences causes The divers acceptions of an Ulcer Sent. 34. sect 3. lib. de fract signs and cure of fresh and bloody wounds reason and order seem to require that we now speak of Ulcers taking our beginning from the ambiguity of the name For according to Hippocrates the name of Ulcer most generally taken may signifie all or any solution of Countinuity In which sence it is read that all pain is an Ulcer Generally for a wound and Ulcer properly so called as appears by his Book de Ulceribus Properly Sect. 1. prog as when he saith it is a sign of death when an Ulcer is dryed up through an Atrophia or defect of nourishment What an Ulcer properly is We have here determined to speak of an Ulcer in this last and proper signification And according thereto we define an Ulcer to be the solution of Continuity in a soft part and that not bloody but sordid and unpure flowing with quitture Sanies or any such like corruption associated with one or more affects against nature Lib. de constit Artis cap. 6. which hinder the healing and agglutination thereof or that we may give it you in fewer words according to Galens opinion An ulcer is a solution of Continuity caused by Erosion The causes of Ulcers are either internal or external The internal causes The internal are through the default of humours peccant in quality rather than in quantity or else in both and so making erosion in the skin and softer parts by their acrimony and malignity now these things happen either by naughty and irregular diet or by the ill disposition of the entrails sending forth and emptying into the habit of the body this their ill disposure The external causes are the excess of cold seising upon any part The external causes especially more remote from the fountain of heat whence followes pain whereunto succeeds an attraction of humors and spirits into the part and the corruption of these so drawn thither by reason of the debility or extinction of the native heat in that part whence lastly ulceration proceeds In this number of external causes may be ranged a stroak contusion the application of sharp and acrid medicins as causticks burns as also impure contagion as appears by the virulent Ulcers acquired by the filthy copulation or too familiar conversation of such as have the French disease How many and what the differences of Ulcers are you may see here described in this following Scheme A Table of the differences of Ulcers An Ulcer is an impure solution of continuity in a soft part flowing with filth and matter or other corruptition whereof there are two chief differences for one Is simple and solitary without complication of any other affect against nature and this varies in differences either Proper which are usually drawn from three things to wit Figure whence one Ulcer is called Round or circular Sinuous and variously spread Right or oblique Cornered as triangular Quantity and that either according to their Length whence an Ulcer is long short indifferent Breadth whence an Ulcer is broad narrow indifferent Profundity whence an Ulcer is deep superficiary indifferent Equality or inequality which consists In those differences of dimensions whereof we last treated I say in length breadth and profundity wherein they are either alike or of the same manner or else unlike and so
than into its proper cavity for it would be dangerous lest he should turn it from one extream into another and the bone for examples sake of the thigh which was dislocated into the forepart by too violent forcing by exceeding the middle cavity may be driven and dislocated into the hinder part To shun this the bone shall be put back the same way that it fell out which may easily by done in fresh and late happening dislocations Signs that the bone is set We understand that the bone is set by the noise or as it were a popp or sound like that which solid and sounding bodies being fully and forcibly thrust into their cavities do make by the similitude and consent in figure magnitude and all conformation of the affected part with the sound and lastly by the mitigation of the pain The benefit of fit placing the member The fourth scope which is of the convenient site of the part must be so fulfilled that the bone after it is set may be kept in its cavity and not fly forth again Wherefore if the arm be dislocated it shall be carried bound up in a scarf if the thigh knee leg or foot be luxated they shall be fitly laid in a bed but in the interim the Surgeon presently after he hath set them shall have a care that the affected joint be wrapped about with stoups and clothes or compresses steeped in rose vinegar and spred with convenient medicines then let it be bound with an artificial deligation rowling the ligatures unto the part contrary to that whereto the dislocated bone flew The manner of binding up the set joint For the which purpose thicker boulsters shall be there applied whence the bone came out otherwise there will be some danger lest it should be again displaced when these things are done he shall for fâ—ur or five days space meddle with nothing about the dislocation unless pain or some such like symptome happen For then the fifth scope will call us from that cessation and rest which is to correct the symptomes and complicate affections as pain inflamation a wound fracture and others whereof we have spoken abundantly in our Treatise of Fractures Before we attempt to set inveterate dislocations The cure of inveterate luxations we must endeavour to humect the ligaments tendons and muscles by fomentations cataplasms emplasters liniments and other remedies that so these parts may be more obedient to the Surgeons hand then must the dislocated bones be moved with a gentle motion up and down to and again that by this means the excrementitious humour which by continuance of time hath flowed down may wax hot be attenuated resolved or made slippery and also the fibres of the muscles ligaments and nervous bodies placed about the joint for the defence thereof may be loosed that so they may presently be more freely extended But if a great swelling pain and inflamation urge we must first think of asswaging and curing them then of the restoring the dislocation CHAP. VII The description of certain engines serving for the restoring of Dislocations These ligatures are not for deligation but extension BEfore I come to the particular kinds of dislocations I think it not amiss to describe three sorts of bandages and give you their figures as those which are most fit to hold and extend d slocations The first ligature designed by this letter A is made for holding the member The second marked with the letter B is fit for drawing or extension and consists of one knot The third whereto the letter C is put consisting of two knots is to hold or binde more straitly The delineation of the three Ligatures I have thought good also to delineate the following Engine made for to draw and extend more powerfully when the hand will not serve It is made like a Pulley marked with these Letters DD. Within this there lie hid three wheels through whose furrows runs the rope which is to be drawn marked with this letter H. At the ends of the Pulley are hooks fastned the one of which is to fasten the Pulley to a Post the other is to draw the ligature fastned to the part The Boxes or Cases wherein the Pulley is kept is marked with BB. Their Covers are marked with AA A Screw pin which may be twined and so fastned to a Post that so one of the ends of the Pulley may be hooked thereto is signed with C. A Gimlet marked by F to make a hole in a Post so to let in the Screw pin You may see all these things exprest in this Figure Some Practitioners in stead of this Pulley make use of this described instrument which they term Manubrium versatile or a Hand-vice The end thereof is fashioned like a Gimlet and is to be twined into a Post Within that handle lies a Screw with a hooked end whereto the string or ligature must be fastned Now the Screw-rod or Male-screw runs into the Female by twining Manubrium versatile or A Hand-vice about of the handle and thus the ligature is drawn as much as will suffice for the setting the dislocated bone Having delivered these things thus in general now I come to treat of the Luxations of each part from the jaw-bone even to the toes of the feet CHAP. VIII Of the Dislocation of the Jaw-bone THe Jaw-bone is dislocated by many occasions and not seldom by yawning The causes Differences and other more strong openings of the mouth It is more frequently luxated into the fore than into the hinder part by reason of the mamillary additaments which hinder it from falling backwards The dislocation is sometimes but on one side otherwhiles on both Signs that only one part is dislocated If the one side only be luxated it together with the chin is drawn awry unto the contrary side which is not dislocated the place is hollow from whence it is flown but swoln whither it is gone the Patient cannot shut his mouth but is forced to gape so that he cannot eat the Jaw together with the teeth therein hangs somewhat forwards neither do the teeth answer fitly to one another but the dog teeth are under the shearers But if both sides be dislocated Signs that both sides are dislocated all the jaw and chin hang forwards and towards the brest besides also the temporal muscles appear distended spittle runs out of the Patients mouth against his will the lower teeth stand further forth than the upper which is the occasion that the mouth cannot be shut neither the tongue have free volubility to speak the Patient stammering in his speech When it is dislocated on both sides it is more difficultly restored Prognosticks Why death quickly ensues upon the dislocation of both sides of the jaw and all the symptomes are more vehement wherefore it must be set with all speed otherwise the Patient will presently have grievous pain about his throat inflamation a feaver whereupon oft-times death ensues
must not be bended for the restoring of this kind of dislocation for restitution cannot so be hoped for because by this kind of luxation the inner process of the cubit possesseth the place of the exteriour process in the cavity of the shoulder-bone Wherefore whilest the arm is bended or crooked the cubit is only lifted up and not drawn into its seat But if we cannot attain to the restitution thereof with our hands alone you must cause the dislocated arm lightly bended to embrace a poste then must the end of the cubit called Olecranum be tyed or bound about with a strong ligature or line and then wrested into its cavity by putting a battoon or staff into the ligature as is demonstrated by this ensuing figure A figure which shews the way how to restore the Elbow by putting it about a poste with a battoon There is also another more exquisite way of A figure which shewes how to restore the Elbow by only casting a line about it restoring it which is expressed by the latter figure wherein a line of some inch breadth is cast about the Olecranum of the arm embracing a post or pillar and it is drawn so long untill the dislocated bone be brought into its seat Now we know that the bone is returned into its place and restored when the pain ceaseth and the figure and whole natural conformation is restored to the arm and the bending and extending thereof is easie and not painfull CHAP. XXXIII Of the dislocation of the Elbow to the inside and of a compleat and uncompleat Luxation IF the Elbow be dislocated to the inner part the arm must be strongly and powerfully extended then bended quickly and with sudden violence The cure so that his hand may smite upon his shoulder Some put some round thing into the bought of the Elbow and upon that do suddenly force the Elbow to the shoulder as we have formerly said If the Cubit-bone be only lightly moved out of its place into the upper or lower place it is easily restored by drawing and forcing it into its cavity after this following manner Let two extend the arm taking hold thereof at the shoulder and wrist and each draw towards himself and also the Surgeon who shall there be present shall force the bone which is dislocated from that part whereunto it is bended unto the contrary after he shall thus have restored it he shall lay the arm in a strait angle and so binde it up Sent. 6â— sect 3. de fract and apply fit medicins formerly mentioned and so let him carry it in a scarf put about his neck as we said in the dislocation of the shoulder Hippocrates bids that the Patient after it is set shall often endeavour to bend his hand upwards and downwards and also extend and bend his arm yea and also to attempt to lift up some heavy thing with his hand for so it will come to pass that the ligaments of this joint may become more soft ready and able to perform their accustomed functions Why the elbow is most subject to Ancylosis and also the bones of the cubit and shoulder shall be freed from the affect termed Ancylosis whereto they are incident by the luxations of this part Now Ancylosis is a certain preternatural agglutination coagmentation and as it were union of sundry and several bones in the same joint which afterwards hinders the bending and extension thereof Now a Callus is generated in the elbow sooner than in any other articulation whether it remaineth out or be put into joint by reason that by rest and cessation from the accustomed actions a viscide humor which is placed naturally in the joints as also another which is preternatural drawn thither by pain floweth down and is hardned and gleweth the bones together as I have observed in many by reason of the idleness and too long rest of this part Wherefore that we may withstand this affect the whole ligation must be loosed sooner and oftner than otherwise that is to say every third day and then the Patients arm must be gently moved every way Within the space of twenty or twenty five dayes these restored bones recover their strength sooner or later according to the happening accidents It is necessary also that the Surgeon know that the Radius or Wand sometimes falleth out when the Cubit or Ell is wholly dislocated wherefore he must be mindfull in setting the Cubit that he also restore the Wand to its place in the upper part it hath a round process lightly hollowed wherein it receiveth the shoulder-bone it hath also an eminency which admitteth the two headed muscle CHAP. XXXIV Of the Dislocation of the Styliformis or bodkin-like process of the Cubit or Ell. Differences causes THe process of the Ell called Styloides being articulated to the wrist by Diarthrosis by which it is received in a small cavity is dislocated and falleth out sometimes inwards somewhiles outwards The cause usually is the falling of the body from high upon the hands It is restored if that you force it into its seat diligently binde it and apply thereto very astringent and drying medicins But yet Cure though you shall diligently perform all things which may be done in dislocations yet you shall never so bring it to pass that this bone shall be perfectly restored and absolutely put into the place where-hence it went which thing we have read observed by Hippocrates when saith he the greater bone Sent. 1. sect 2. sent ult sect 3. de fract to wit the Ell is removed from the other that is the wand it is not easily restored to its own nature again for that seeing that neither any other common connexion of two bones which they call Symphisis or union when it is drawn asunder and destroyed may be reduced into its former nature by reason these ligaments wherewith they were formerly contained and as it were continued are too violently distended and relaxed whence it happens that I have in these cases often observed that the diligence and care of the Surgeon hath nothing availed CHAP. XXXV Of the dislocation of the Wrist Here as before chap. 31. the Author dissents from Celsus and Hippocrat in expressing the names and signs of these dislocations WEe understand by the Wrist a certain bony body consisting of a composure of eight bones knit to the whole Cubit by Diarthrosis For the Wrist considered wholly in its self is knit and articulated with the Ell and Wand with that against the little finger with this against the thumb for thus as it were by two connexions the joint is made more firm Yet may it be dislocated inwardly outwardly and towards the sides We say it is luxated inwardly when the hand stands upwards but outwardly when it is crookt in and cannot be extended But if it chance to be dislocated sidewayes it stands awry either towards the little finger or else towards the thumb as the luxation befalls
to the side opposite to that towards which the bone fell that so also in some measure it may be more and more forced into its place In the mean time you must have a care that you do not too straitly press the great and large tendon which is at the heel This kinde of dislocation is restored in forty days unless some accident happen which may hinder it CHAP. LIII Of the dislocation of the Heel Causes and differences WHosoever leaping from an high place have fallen very heavy upon their heel have their heel dislocated and divided from the pastern-bone This dislocation happens more frequently inwardly then outwardly because the prominencie of the lesser Focile embraces the pastern-bone whence it is that there it is more straitly and firmly knit It is restored by extension and forcing it in which will be no very difficult matter The Cure unless some great defluxion or inflammation hinder it For the binding up it most be straitest in the part affected that so the blood may be pressed from thence into the neighbouring parts yet using such a moderation that it may not be painful not press more straitly than is fit the nerves and gross tendons which runs to the heel This dislocation is not confirmed before the fortieth day though nothing happen which may hinder it Yet usually it happeneth that many symptomes ensue by the vehemencie of the contusion Wherefore it will not be amiss to handle them in a particular chapter CHAP. LIV. Of the Symptoms which follow upon the contusion of the Heel Why blood-letting necessary in the fracture of a heel IT happeneth by the vehemencie of this contusion that the veins and arteries do as it were vomit up blood both through the secret passages of their coats as also by their ends or orifices whence an Ecchymosis or blackness over all the heel pain swelling and other the like ensue which implore remedies and the Surgeons help to wit convenient diet Hip. sect 3. de fracturis and drawing of bloud by opening a vein of which though Hippocrates makes no mention yet it is here requisite by reason of the Feaver and inflammation and if need require purgation principally such as may divert the matter by causing vomit and lastly the application of local medicines chiefly such as may soften and rarifie the skin under the heel otherwise usually hard and thick such as are fomentations of warm water and oil so that divers times wee are forced to scarifie it with a lancet shunning the quick flesh For so at length the blood poured forth into the part and there heaped up is more easily attenuated and at length resolved But these things must all bee performed before the inflamtion seiz upon the part otherwise there will bee danger of a convulsion For the blood Why the heel is subject to inflammation when it fall's out of the vessels readily putrifie's by reason the densitie of this part hinder's it from ventilation dispersing to the adjacent parts Hereto may bee added that the large and great tendon wich cover's the heel is endued with exquisite sens and also the part it self is on every side spred over with many nervs Besides also there is further danger of inflammation by lying upon the back and heel as wee before admonished you in the Fracture of a leg Therefore I would have the Surgeon to bee here most attentive and diligent to perform these things which wee have mentioned left by inflammation a Gangrene and Mortification for here the sanious flesh presently fall's uppon the bone happen together with a continued and sharp Fever with trembling hicketting and raving For the corruption of this part first by contagion assail's the next and thence a Fever assail's the heart by the arteries pressed and growing hot by the putrid heat and by the nervs and that great and notable tendon made by the concours of the three muscles of the calf of the leg Gal. ad sent 23. sect 2. lib. de fract the muscles brain and stomach are evilly affected and drawn into consent and so caus convulsions raving and a deadly hicketting CHAP. LV. Of the dislocated Pastern or Ancle-bone THe Astragalus or pastern bone may bee dislocated and fall out of its place to every side Wherefore when it fall's out towards the inner part Sign the sole of the foot is turned outwards when it flie's out to the contrarie the sign is also contrarie if it bee dislocated to the foreside on the hinde side the broad tendon coming under the heel is hardned and distended but if it bee luxated backards the whole heel is as it were hid in the foot neither doth this kinde of dislocation happen withou much violence It is restored by extending it with the hands and forcing it into the contrary part to that from whence it fell Beeing restored it is kept so by application of medicins and fit ligation The patient must keep his bed long in this case Cure lest that bone which sustain's and bear's up the whole bodie may again sink under the burden and break out the sinews beeing not well knit and strengthned CHAP. LVI Of the dislocation of the In-step and back of the foot THe bones also of the In-step and back of the foot may bee luxated and that either upwards or downwards or to one side though seldom sidewise for the reason formerly rendred speaking of the dislocation of the like bones of the hand Cure If that they stand upwards then must the patient tread hard upon som plain or even place and then the Surgeon by pressing them with his hand shal force them into their places on the contrary if they stand out of the sole of the foot then must you press them thence upwards and restore each bone to its place They may bee restored after the same manner if they bee flown out to either side But you must note that although the Ligatures consist but of one head in other dislocations yet here Hippocrates would have such used as have two heads for that the dislocation happen's more from below upwards Sent. 14. sect 2. lib. de fract or from above downwards then sidewise CHAP. LVII Of the dislocation of the Toes NOw the Toes may bee four wais dislocated even as the fingers of the hand The differences The and they may bee restored just after the same manner that is extend them directly forth and then force eath joint into its place and lastly binde them up as is fitting The restitution of all them is easie for that they cannot far transgress their bounds To conclude Cure the bones of the feet are dislocated and restored by the same means as those of the hands but that when as any thing is dislocated in the foot the patient must keep his bed but when any thing is amiss in the hand hee must carrie it in a scarf The patient must rest twenty daies that is until hee
horny coat being relaxed or thrust forth by the violence of the pustule generated beneath It in shape resembleth a grape whence the Greeks stile it Staphyloma This tumor is sometimes blackish otherwhiles whitish For if the horny coat be ulcerated and fretted in sunder so that the grapy coat shew it self fall through the ulcer then the Staphyloma will look black like a ripe grape for the utter part of the Vvea is blackish But if the Cornea be only relaxed not broken then the swelling appears of a whitish colour like an unripe grape Paulus and Aetius The Antients have made many kinds or differences thereof For if it be but a smal hole of the broken Cornea by which the Vvea sheweth or thrusteth forth it self then they termed it Myccephalon that is like the head of a flie But if the hole were large and also callous they called it Clavus Every Slaphiloma infers incurable blindness or a nail if it were yet larger then they termed it Acinus or a grape But in what shape or figure soever this disease shall happen it bringeth two discommodities the one of blindness the other of deformitie Wherefore here is no place for Surgerie to restore the sight which is already lost but onely to amend the deformitie of the eye which is by cutting off that which is prominent But you must take heed that you cut away no more then is fit for so there would be danger of pouring out the humours of the eye CHAP. XVII Of the Hypopyon that is the suppurate or putrified eye PVS or Quitture is sometimes gathered between the hornie and grapie coat from an internal or external cause From an internal as by a great defluxion The cause and oft-times after an inflamation but externally by a stroke through which occasion a vein being opened hath poured forth bloud thither which may presently be turned into Quitture For the cure universal remedies being premised cupping glasses shall be applied with scarifications and frictions used Anodine and digestive collyria shall be poured from above downwards Galen writes that he hath sometimes evacuated this matter Lib. 14. method cap. ult the Cornea being opened at the Iris in which all the coats meet concur and are terminated I have done the like and that with good success James Guillemeau the Kings Surgeon being present the Quitture being expressed and evacuated after the apertion The Ulcer shall be cleansed with Hydromel or some other such like medicine CHAP. XVIII Of the Mydriasis or dilatation of the Pupil of the Eye MYdriasis is the dilatation of the pupil of the eye The Cause and this happeneth either by nature or chance the former proceedeth from the default of the first conformation neither is it cureable but the other is of sorts for it is either from an internal cause the off-spring of an humour flowing down from the brain wherefore Physical means must be used for the cure thereof The cure Now that which cometh by any external occasion as a blow fall or contusion upon the eye must be cured by presently applying repercussive and anodine medicines the defluxion must be hindered by diet skilfully appointed phlebotomie cupping scarification frictions and other remedies which may seem convenient Then must you come to resolving medicines as the bloud of a Turtle-dove Pigeon or chicken reeking-hot out of the vein being poured upon the eye and the neighbouring parts Then this following cataplasm shall be applied thereto A digesting Cataplasm â„ž farinae fabar hordei an â„¥ iij. ol rosar myrtillor an â„¥ j. ss pul ireos flor Ê’ij cum sapa fiat cataplasm You may also use the following fomentation â„ž rosar rub myrtyl an m.j florum melil chamaem an p.j. nucum cupress â„¥ j. vini ansteri lb ss aq rosar plantag an â„¥ iij. make a decoction of them all for a fomentation to be used with a sponge CHAP. XIX Of a Cataract A Cataract is called also by the Greeks Hypochima by the Latines suffusio A Cataract Howsoever you term it it is nothing else but the concretion of an humour into a certain thin skin under the hornie coat just against the apple or pupil and as it were swimming upon the waterie humour and whereas the place ought to be emptie opposing it self to the internal faculty of seeing whereby it differeth from spots and scars growing upon the hornie coat and Adnata It sometimes covereth the whole pupil The differences otherwhiles but the one half thereof and somewhiles but a small portion thereof According to this varietie the sight is either quite lost weak or somewhat depraved because the animal visive spirit cannot in its entire substance pass through the densitie thereof Causes The defluxion of the humour whence it proceeds is either caused by an external occasion as a stroke fall or by the heat or coldness of the encompassing air troublesome both to the head and eyes or else it is by an internal means as the multitude or else the acrid hot and thin quality of the humours This disease also sometimes taketh its original from gross and fumid humours sent from a crude stomach or from vaporous meats or drinks up to the brain and so it falleth into the eyes where by the coldness straitness and tarrying in the place they turn into moisture and at length into that concretion or film which we see The signs may be easily drawn from that we have already delivered Signs For when the cataract is formed and ripe it resembleth a certain thin membrane spred over the pupil and appeareth of a different colour accorcing to the variety of the humor whereof it consisteth one while white another while black blue ash-coloured livid citrine green It sometimes resembleth quick-silver which is very trembling and fugitive more than the rest At the first when it beginneth to breed they seem to see many things as flyes flying up and down hares nets and the like as if they were carelesly tossed up and down before their eyes sometimes every thing appeareth two and somewhiles less than they are because the visive spirit is hindred from passing to the objects by the density of the skin like as a cloud shadowing the light of the Sun Whence it is that the patients are duller fighted about noon and surer and quicker sighted in the morning and evening for that the little visive spirit diffused through the air is dispersed by the greater light but contracted by the less Now if this film cover half the pupil then all things shew but by halfs but if the midst thereof be covered and as it were the centre of the chrystalline humor then they seem as if they had holes or windows but if it cover at all then can he see nothing it all but only the shadows of visible bodies and of the Sun Moon Stars lighted cancles and the like luminous things and that but confusedly and as
so could that bee don without the infection and corruption of the whole mass of blood whil'st it flow's through the veins therefore to bee more probable that this quantitie of filth mixed with excrements urine flowed out by the default of the liver or of som other bowel rather than from the wounded arm I was of a contrarie opinion for these following reasons How the pus may flow from the wounded arm by the urine and excrements First for that which was apparently seen in the patient for as long as the excrement and urine were free from this purulent matter so long his arm plentifully flowed therewith this on the contrary being dry much purulent matter was voided both by stool urine Another was that as our whole bodie is perspirable so it is also if I may so term it confluxible The third was an example taken from the glasses with the French term Monte-vins that is Mount-wines for if a glass that is full of wine be set under another that is fill'd with water you may see the wine raise it self out of the lower vessel to the upper through the mid'st of the water and so the water descends through the mid'st of the wine yet so that they do not mix themselvs but the one take and possess the place of the other If this may bee don by art by things onely naturall and to bee discerned by our eies what may bee don in our bodies in which by reason of the presence of a more noble soul all the works of nature are far more perfect What is it which wee may dispair to bee don in the like case For doth not the laudable blood flow to the guts kidnies spleen bladder of the gall by the impuls of nature together with the excrements which presently the parts themselvs separate from their nutriment Doth not milk from the brests flow somtimes forth of the wombs of women lately dilivered Yet that cannot bee carried down thither unless by the passages of the mammillary veins and arteries which meet with the mouths of the vessels of the womb in the middle of the straight muscles of the Epigastrium Therefore no marvel if according to Galen Lib. de loc affec 6. cap. 4. the pus unmix't with the blood flowing from the whole body by the veins arteries into the kidnies and bladder bee cast forth together with the urine These and the like things are don by nature not taught by anie counsel or reason but onely assisted by the strength of the segregateing and expulsive facultie and certainly wee presently dissecting the dead bodie observed that it all as also all the bowels thereof were free from inflammation and ulceration neither was there anie sign of impression of anie purulent matter in anie part thereof CHAP. L. By what external causes the urine is supprest and prognosticks concerning the suppression thereof THere are also manie external causes through whose occasion the urine may bee supprest Such are batheing and swimmeing in cold water the too long continued application of Narcotick medicines upon the reins perinaeum and share the use of cold meats and drinks and such other like Moreover Why the dislocation of a vertebra of the loins may caus a suppression of urine the dislocation of som Vertebra of the loins to the inside for that it presseth the nerves disseminated thence into the bladder therefore it causeth a stupiditie or numness of the bladder Whence it is that it cannot perceiv it self to bee vellicated by the acrimonie of the urine and consequently it is not stirred up to the expulsion thereof But from whatsoever caus the oppression of the urine proceed's if it persevere for som daies death is to bee feared Why the suppression of the urine becom's deadly unless either a fever which may consume the matter of the urine or a scouring or flux which may divert it shall happen thereupon For thus by stay it acquireth an acrid and venenate qualitie which flowing by the veins readily infecteth the mass of blood and caried to the brain much molest's it by reason of that similitude and sympathie of condition which the bladder hath with the Meninges A fever following thereon help 's the suppression of urine But nature if prevalent easily free'th it self from this danger by a manifest evacuation by stool otherwise it must necessarily call as it were to its aid a feverish heat which may send the abounding matter of this serous humiditie out through the skin either by a sensible evacuation as by sweat becaus sweat and urine have one common matter or els dispers and breath it out by transpiration which is an insensible excretion CHAP. LI. Of bloodie Vrine SOm piss pure blood others mixt and that either with urine and then that which is expelled resembl's the washing of flesh newly killed The differences or els with pus or matter and that either alone or mixed with the urine There may bee divers causes of this symptom Causes as the too great quantitie of blood gathered in the body which by the suppression of the accustomed and period cal evacuation by the courses or hemorrhoids now turn's its cours to the reins and bladder the fretting asunder of som vessel by an acrid humor or the breaking thereof by carrying or lifting of som heavie burden by leaping falling from high a great blow the falling of som weight upon the loins rideing post too violently the too immoderate use of venerie and lastly from anie kinde of painfull and more violent exercise by a rough and sharp stone in the kidnies by the weaknes of the retentive facultie of the kidnies by a wound of som of the parts belonging to the urine by the too frequent use of diuretick and hot meats and medicines or els of things in their whole nature contrarie to the urinarie parts for by these and the like causes the reins are oft-times so inflamed that they necessarily impostumate and at length the impostume beeing broken it turn's into an ulcer casting forth quitture by the urine In so great varietie of the causes of blodie urine wee may gather whence the causes of this symptom may arise Signs of what causes they proceed by the depraved action of this or that part by the condition of the flowing blood to wit pure or mixt and that either with the urine alone or with pus For example if this bloodie matter flow from the lungs liver kidnies dislocated Vertebrae the straight gut or other the like part you may discern it by the seat of the pain and symptoms as a fever and the propriety of the pain and other things which have preceded or are yet present And wee may gather the same by the plentie and qualitie for if for example the pus flow from an ulcer of the arm the purulent matter will flow by turns one while by the urine so that little is cast forth by the ulcer then presently on the
decoction of the lesser hous-leek and sebestens given with sugar before meat it is no less affectual to put wormseeds in their pap and in rosted apples and so to give them it Also you may make suppositories after this manner Supposâ—ory against the Ascarides and put them up into the fundament â„ž coralli subalbi rasurae eboris cornu cervi usti ireos an ℈ ii mellis albi â„¥ ii ss aquae centinodiae q. s ad omnia concorporanda fiant Glandes let one be put up every day of the weight of Ê’ii for children these suppositories are chiefly to be used for Ascarides as those which adhere to the right gut To such children as can take nothing by the mouth you shall apply cataplasms to their navels made of the powder of cummin-seeds the flower of Iupines wormwood southern-wood tansie the leaves of artichokes Rue the powder of coloquintida citron-seeds aloes ars-smart hors-mint peach-leaves Costus amarus Zedoaria sope and ox-gall Such cataplasms are oftimes spread over all the belly mixing therewith astringent things for the strengthening of the part as oil of myrtils Quinces and mastich you may also apply a great onion hollowed in the midst and filled with aloes and treacle and so rosted in the Embers then beaten with bitter almonds and an ox-gall Also you may make emplasters of bitter things as this which follows â„ž fellis bubuli succi absinth an â„¥ ii colocyn â„¥ i. terantur misceantur simul incorporentur cum farinâ lupinorum make hereof an emplaster to be laid upon the Navel Liniments and ointments may be also made for the same purpose to annoint the belly A plaster against the worms you may also make plasters for the navel of pillulae Ruf. annointing in the mean time the fundament with hony and sugar that they may be chased from above with bitter things and allured downwards with sweet things Or else take worms that have been cast forth dry them in an iron-pan over the fire then powder them and give them with wine or some other liquor to be drunk for so they are thought quickly to kill the rest of the worms Hereto also conduceth the juice of citrons drunk with the oil of bitter almonds or sallet-oil Also some make bathes against this affect of worm-wood galls peach-leavs boiled in water and then bathe the childe therein But in cureing the worms you must observe that this disease is oftimes entangled with another more grievous disease as an acute and burning fever a flux or scouring and the like in which as for example sake a fever being present and conjoined therewith if you shall give worm-seeds old Treacle myrrh aloes you shall increase the fever and flux for that bitter things are very contrary to these affects But if on the contrary in a flux whereby the worms are excluded you shall give corral and the flower of Lentils you shall augment the fever makeing the matter more contumacious by dry and astringent things Therefore the Physician shall be careful in considering whether the fever be a symptom of the worms or on the contrary it be essential A fever sometimes a symptom and sometimes a disease and not symptomatick that this being known he may principally insist in the use of such medicines as resist both affects as purgeing and bitterish in a fever and worms but bitter and somewhat astrictive things in the worms and flux CHAP. VI. A short description of the Elephantiasis or Leprosie and of the causes thereof THis disease is termed Elephantiasis because the skin of such as are troubled therewith is rough scabious wrinkled and unequal like the skin of an Elephant Yet this name may seem to be imposed thereon by reason of the greatness of the disease Some from the opinion of the Arabians have termed it Lepra or Leprosie but unproperly for the Lepra is a kinde of scab and disease of the skin which is vulgarly called Malum sancti manis which word for the present we will use as that which prevails by custome and antiquity Lib. 4. cap. 1. Lib. 2. cap. 11. Now the Leprosie according to Paulus is a Cancer of the whole body the which as Avicen adds corrupts the complexion form and figure of the members Galen thinks the cause ariseth from the error of the sanguifying faculty through whose default the assimulation in the flesh and habit of the body is depraved and much changed from it self and the rule of nature But ad Glauconem he defines this disease An effusion of troubled or gross blood into the veins and habit of the whole body This disease is judged great for that it partakes of a certain venenate virulency depraveing the members and comeliness of the whole body Now it appears There is a certain hidden virulency in the Leprosie that the Leprosie partakes of a certain venenate virulency by this that such as are melancholick in the whole habit of their bodies are not leprous Now this disease is composed of three differences of diseases First it consists of a distemper against nature as that which at the beginning is hot and dry and at length the ebullition of the humors ceasing and the heat dispersed it becomes cold and dry which is the conjunct cause of this symptom Also it consists of an evill composition or conformation for that it depraves the figure and beauty of the parts Also it consists of a solution of continuity when as the flesh and skin are cleft in divers parts with ulcers and chops The Leprosie hath for the most part three general causes that is the primitive antecedent and conjunctive The primitive cause of a Leprosie How they may be leprous from their first conformation The primitive cause is either from the first conformation or comes to them after they are born It is thought to be is him from the first conformation who was conceived of depraved and menstruous blood and such as inclined to melancholie who was begot of the leprous seed of one or both his parents for leprous persons generate leprous because the principal parts being tainted and corrupted with a melancholick and venenate juice it must necessarily follow that the whole mass of blood and seed that falls from it and the whole body should also be vitiated This cause happens to those that are already born by long staying and inhabiting in maritime countries whereas the gross and misty air in success of time induceth the like fault into the humors of the body for that acccording to Hippocrates such as the air is such is the spirit and such the homors Also long abideing in very hot places because the blood is torrified by heat but in cold places for that they incrassate and congealing the spirits do after a manner stupifie may be thought the primitive causes of this disease Thus in some places of Germany there are divers leprous persons but they are more frequent in Spain and over all Africa then in all the
eggs and oil of lin-seed take oâ— each of them two ounces beat them together a long time in a leaden morter and therewith annoint the grieved part but if there be an inflammation put thereto a little Camphir CHAP. LXIV Of the itching of the womb What the itch of the womb IN women especially such as are old there often-times commeth an itching in the neck of the womb which doth so trouble them with pain and a desire to scratch that it taketh away their sleep Not long since a woman asked my counsel that was so troubled with this kinde of maladie that she was constrained to extinguish or stay the itching burning of her secret parts by sprinkling cinders of fire and rubbing them hard on the place I counselled her to take Aegypt dissolved in sea-water or lee A historie and inject it in her secret parts with a syringe and to wet stupes of flax in the same medicine and put them up into the womb and so she was cured Many times this itch commeth in the fundament or testicles of aged men The cause of the itch by reason of the gathering together or conflux of salt phlegm which when it falleth into the eyes it causeth the patient to have much ado to refrain scratching when this matter hath dispersed into the whole habit of the bodie it causeth a burning or itching scab which must be cured by a cooling and moistning diet by phlebotomie and purging of the salt humor by baths and horns applied with scaâ—ification and annointing of the whole bodie with the unction following The virtue of unguent enulat â„ž axung porcin recent lbi ss sap nig vel gallici salis nitri assat tartar staphysag an â„¥ ss sulph viv â„¥ i. argent viv â„¥ ii acet ros quart i. incorporate them all together and make thereof a liniment according to art and use it as is said before unguentum enulatum cum Mercurio is thought to have great force not without desert to asswage the itch and the drie scab Some use this that followeth â„ž alum spum nitr sulph viv an Ê’ vi staphys â„¥ i. let them all be dissolved in vinegar of Roses adding thereto butyr recent q. s make thereof a liniment for the fore-named use CHAP. LXV Of the relaxation of the great Gut or Intestine which happeneth to women The cause MAny women that have had great travel and strains in childe-birth have the great intestine called of the Latines crassum intestinum or Gut relaxed and slipped down which kinde of affect happeneth much to children by reason of a phlegmatick humor moistening the sphincter-muscle of the fundament and the two others called Levatores For the cure thereof The cure first of all the Gut called rectum intestinum or the strait Gut is to be fomented with a decoction of heating and resolving herbs as of Sage Rosemary Lavender Tyme and such like and then of astringent things as of Roses Myrtils the rindes of Pomegranats Cypress-nuts Galls with a little Alum then it must be sprinkled with the powder of things that are astringent without biting and last of all it is to be restored and gently put into its place That is supposed to be an effectual and singular remedy for this purpose An effectual remedy which is made of twelve red Snails put into a pot with â„¥ ss of Alum and as much of Salt and shaken up and down a long time for so at length when they are dead there will remain an humor which must be put upon Cotton and applyed to the Gut that is fallen down By the same cause that is to say of painful childe-birth in some women there ariseth a great swelling in the navel The diffâ—rences and signs for when the Peritonaeum is relaxed or broken sometimes the Kall and sometimes the Guts flip out many times flatulencies come thither the cause as I now shewed is over great straining or stretching of the belly by a great burthen carried in the womb and great travel in childe-birth if the falln-down Guts make that tumor pain joined together with that tumor doth vex the patient and if it be pressed you may hear the noise of the Guts going back again if it be the Kall then the tumor is soft and almost without pain neither can you hear any noise by compression if it be winde the tumor is loose and soft yet it is such as will yield to the pressing of the finger with some sound and will soon return again if the tumor be great it cannot be cured unless the peritonaeum be cut as it is said in the cure of ruptures In the Church-porches of Paris I have seen Beggar-women An historie who by the falling down of the Guts have had such tumors as big as a bowl who notwithstanding could go and do all other things as if they had been sound and in perfect health I think it was because the faeces or excrements by reason of the greatness of the tumor and the bigness or wideness of the intestines had a free passage in and out CHAP. LXVI Of the relaxation of the navel in children OFten-times in children newly born the navel swelleth as big an egg because it hath not been well cut or bound or because the whayish humors are flowed thither or because that part hath exâ—ended it self too much by crying by reason of the pains of the fretting of the childes guts An abscess not to be opened many times the childe bringeth that tumor joined with an abscess with him from his mothers womb but let not the Chirurgian assay to open that abscess for if it be opened the guts come out through the incision as I have seen in many and especially in a childe of my Lord Martigues for when Peter of the Rock the Chirurgian opened an abscess that was in it the bowels ran out at the incision and the infant died and it wanted but little that the Gentleman of my Lords retinue that were there had strangled the Chirurgian An historie Therefore when Iohn Gromontius the Carver desired me and requested me oâ— late that I would do the like in his son I refused to do it because it was in danger of its life by it alreadie and in three daies after the abscess broke and the bowels gushed out and the childe died CHAP. LXVII Of the pain that chiildren have in breeding of teeth CHildren are greatly vexed with their teeth The time of breeding of the teeth which cause great pain when they begin to â—reak as it were out of their shell or sheath and begin to come forth the gums being broken which for the most part happeneth about the seventh month of the childes age This pain commeth with itching and scratching of the gums an inflammation flux of the belly whereof many times commeth a fever falling of the hair a convulsion at length death The cause of the pain is the solution of the continuity of the
Ruptoria and potential Cauteries Now all these differences are taken from that they are more or less powerful For it oft-times happens that according to the different temper and consistence of the parts according to the longer or shorter stay a Cathaeretick may penetrate as far as a Septick and on the contrary an Escharotick may enter no farther then a Septick Cathaereticks These are judged Cathaereticks Spongia usta alumen ustum non ustum vitriolum ustum calx mediocriter lota aerugo chalcanthum squamma aeris oleum de vitriolo trochisci andronis phasionis asphodelorum ung Aegyptiacum apostolorum pulvis mercurii arsenicum sublimatum Septicks and Vesicatories Septicks and Vesicatories are Radix scillae bryoniae sigill beatae Mariae buglossa radix ranunculi panis porcini apium risus lac titbymallorum lac ficiâ—euphorbium anacardus-sinapi cantharides arsenicum sublimatum For all these weaken the native temper and consistence of the part and draw thereunto humors plainly contrary to nature Escharoticks Escharoticks or Causticks are Calx viva fax vini cremata praecipuè aceti ignis whereto are referred all Cauteries as well actual as potential whereof we shall treat hereafter Their use We use Cathaereticks in tender bodies and diseases not very contumacious therefore by how much they are less acrid and painful by so much oft-times they penetrate the deeper for that they are less troublesome by delay but we use Septicks and sometimes Escharoticks in ulcers that are callous putrid and of unexhausted humidity but principally in cancers carbuncles and excessive haemorrhagies When as we make use of these the patient must have a convenient diet appointed must abstain from wine lastly they must not be used but with discretion for otherwise they may cause fevers great inflammations intolerable pains swounings gangreens and sphacels Cauteries heedfully used strengthen and dry the part amend an untameable distemper dull the force of poison bridle putrefaction and mortification and bring sundry other benefits CHAP. XIX Of Anodynes or such as mitigate or asswage pain What pain is BEfore we treat of Anodyne medicines we think it fit to speak of the nature of pain Now pain is a sorrowful and troublesome sense caused by some sudden distemper or solution of continuity There are three things necessary to cause pain The efficient cause that is a sodain departure from a natural temper or union the sensibleness of the body receiving the dolorifick cause lastly the apprehension of this induced change caused either by distemper or union for otherwise with how exquisite soever sense the body receiving the cause is indued with unless it apprehend and mark it there is no pain present Hence it is that Aphorism of Hippocrates Quicunque parte aliquâ corpâ—ris dolentes dolorem omnino non sentiunt his mens aegrotat that is Whosoever pained in any part of their bodies do wholly feel no pain their understanding is ill affected and depraved Heat cold moisture and driness induce a sodain change of temper and heat and cold cause sharp pain driness moderate but moisture scarce any at all for moisture causeth not pain so much by its quality as it doth by the quantity Both the fore-mentioned qualities especially associated with matter as also certain external causes too violently assailing such as these that may cause contusion cut prick or too much extend Wherefore pain is a symptom of the touch accompanying almost all diseases therefore oft-times leaving these they turn the counsel of the Physician to mitigate them which is performed either by mitigating the efficient causes of pain or dulling the sense of the part Hereupon they make three differences of Anodynes For some serve to cure the disease othersome to mitigate it othersome stupifie and are narcotick We term such curative of the diseases which resist and are contrary to the causes of diseases Thus pain caused by a hot distemper is taken away by oil of Roses Oxycrate and other such like things which amend and take away the cause of pain to wit the excess of heat Pain caused by a cold distemper is amended by Oleum Laurinum Nar dinum de Castoreo Pain occasioned by too much driness is helped by Hydraelium a bath of fresh and warm water Lastly by this word Anodyne taken in the largest sense we understand all purging medicines Phlebotomony Scarification Cauteries Cuppings Glysters and other such like things as evacuate any store of the dolorifick matter But such as are properly termed Anodynes What properly termâ—d Anodynes are are of two sorts for some are temperare others hot and moist in the first degree and consequently near to those that are temperate these preserve the native heat in the proper integrity thus they amend all distemperatures of this kinde are accounted Sallad oil oil of sweet Almonds the yolks of eggs and a few other such like things these strengthen the native heat that thus increased in substance it may with the more facility orecome the cause of pain besides also they rarifie attenuate digest and consequently evacuate both gross and viscid humors as also cloudy flatulencies hindred from passing forth such are floros chamoemili meliloti crocus oleum chamoemelinum anethinum oleum lini oleum ex semine altheae lubricorum ovorum ex tritico butyrum lana succida suillus adeps vitulinus gallinaceus anserinus humanus ex anguilla cunicula aliis Lac muliebre vaccinum mucago seminis lini faenugraeci althaeae malvae vel ejusmodi seminum decoctum as also Decoctum liliorum violariae capitis pedum intestinorum arietis et hoedi Narcoticks or stupefying medicines improperly termed Anodynes Narcoticks improperly termed anodynes The use of them are cold in the fourth degree therefore by their excess of cold they intercept or hinder the passage of the animal spirits to the part whence it is that they take away sense of this sort are hyoscyamus cicuta sclanum manicum mandragora papaver opium arctissima vincula You may make use of the first sort of Anodynes in all diseases which are cured by the opposition of their contraries but of the second to expugn pains that are not very contumacious that by their application we may resist defluxion inflammation the fever and other symptoms But whereas the bitterness of pain is so excessive great that it will not stoop to other medicines then at the length must we come to the third sort of anodyneâ— Yet oft-times the bitterness of pain is so great that very narcoticks must be applied in the first place if we would have the part and the whole man to be in safety Yet the too frequent use of them especially alone without the addition of saffron myrrh castoreum or some such like thing useth to be very dangerous for they extinguish the native heat and cause mortification manifested by the blackness of the part But intolerable pains to wit such as are occasioned by the excess of

troublesome harsh touchy froward crabby and often complaining untill at the length deprived of all their senses tongue feet and understanding they doting return again to childishness as from the staff to the start And thus much of the Temperaments of ages The tempers of the seasons of the year But now in like manner we will explain the Temperatures of the seasons of the year which are four the Spring Summer Autumn Winter The Spring continues almost from the twelfth or thirteenth day of March to the midst of May Hippocrates seemeth to make it hot and moist which opinion seemeth not to have sprung from the thing it self but from an inveterate error of the ancient Philosophers who would fit the Temperaments of the four seasons of the year as answering in proportion to the temperatures of the four ages How the spring is temperate For if the matter come to a just tryal all men will say the Spring is temperate as that which is in the midst of the excess of heat cold moisture and dryness not only by comparison because it is hotter than Winter and colder than Summer but because it hath that quality of its own proper nature Wherefore it is said of Hippocrates Aphoâ— 9 â—â—ct 3 The Spring is most wholesome and least deadly if so be that it keep its native temper from which if it decline or succeed a former untemperate season as Autumn or Winter Aphor. 20. sect 3. it will give occasion to many diseases described by Hippocrates not that it breeds them but because it brings them to sight which before lay hid in the body Summer is comprehended in the space almost four months it is of a hot and dry temper a breeder of such diseases as proceed from choler because that humour at this time is heaped up in many bodies by adustion of blood bred in the Spring but all such diseases do speedily run their course The beginning of Autumn Autumn unequal is from the time the Sun enters into Libra and endures the like space of time as the Spring But when it is dry it hath great inequality of heat and cold for the morning and evenings being very cold the noondays on the contrary are exceeding hot Wherefore many diseases are in Autumn and them long and deadly especially if they incline towards Winter because all daily and soddain changes to heat and cold are dangerous The Winter possesses the remnant of the year and is cold and moist it increases natural heat stirs up the appetite and augments Phlegm How Winter encreases the native heat It encreases heat by Antiperistasis or contrariety of the encompassing air which being then cold prohibits the breathing out of heat whereby it happens that the heat being driven in and hindered from dissipation is strengthened by co-uniting its forces But it augments Phlegm for that men are more greedy the Appetite being encreased by the strengthened heat from whence proceeds much crudity and a large store of diseases especially Chronick or Long which spread and encrease rather in this Winter-season than in any other part of the year To this discourse of the temper of the seasons of the years is to be revoked the variety of tempers which happens every day which certainly is not to be neglected that there may be place of election Aphor 4. sect 3. especially if nothing urge For hither belongs that saying of Hippocrates When in the same day it is one while hot another cold Autumnal diseases are to be expected Therefore an Indication taken from hence is of great consequence to the judgment of diseases for if it agree with the disease the disease is made more contumacious and difficult to cure Whereupon the Patient and Physitian will have much trouble but if on the contrary it reclaim and dissent the health of the Patient is sooner to be expected Neither is it a thing of less consequence to know the customs and habits of the Places and Countreys in which we live as also the inclination of the Heavens and temperature of the Air. But let us leave these things to be considered by Natural Philosophers that we may deliver our judgment of the temperaments of Humors Blood The temperaments of Humors as that which answers to the Air in proportion is of a hot and moist nature or rather temperate as Galen testifies for saith he it is certain and sure that the Blood is neither hot nor moist but temperate as in its first composure none of the four first Qualities exceeds other by any manifest excess as he repeats it upon the 39th Sentence Phlegm as that which is of a waterish nature Lib. de natura humana ad Sent. 36. sect 1. is cold and moist no otherwise than Choler being of a fiery temper is hot and dry But Melancholy assimilated to earth is cold and dry The temperature of the Blood This which we have spoken in general of Phlegm and Melancholy is not alwayes true in every kind of the said Humors For salt Phlegm is of a hot and dry temperature as also all kinds of Melancholy which have arose or sprung by adustion from the native and alimentary as we will teach in the following Chapter Fpom whence we judg of the temperature of Medicines Now the temperaments of Medicines have not the same form of judgment as those things which we have before spoken of as not from the Elementary quality which conquering in the contention and mixture obtains the dominion but plainly from the effects which taken or applyed they imprint in a temperate body For so we pronounce those things hot cold moist or dry which produce the effects of Heat Coldness Moisture or Dryness But we will defer the larger explication of these things to that place where we have peculiarly appointed to treat of Medicines where we will not simply enquire whether they be hot or cold but what degree of heat and cold or the like other quality In which same place we will touch the temperature and all the nature of Tastes because the certainest judgment of Medicines is drawn from their tastes Hitherto of Temperaments now we must speak of Humors whose use in Physical speculation is no less than that of Temperaments CHAP. VI. Of Humors TO know the nature of Humors is a thing not only necessary for Physitians The knowledg of the Humor is necessary but also for Chirurgeons because there is no disease with matter which ariseth not from some one or the mixture of more Humors Which thing Hippocrates understanding writ every Creature to be either sick or well according to the condition of the Humors in the body Lib. De Natura Humana And certainly all putrid feavers proceed from the putrefaction of Humors Neither do any acknowledg any other original or distinction of the differences of Abscesses or Tumors neither do ulcerated broken or otherwise wounded members hope for the restauration of continuity from other
than from the sweet falling down of Humors to the wounded part Which is the cause that often in the cure of these affects the Physitians are necessarily busied in tempering the blood that is bringing to a mediocrity the four Humors composing the mass of blood if they at any time offend in quantity or quality For whether if any thing abound or digress from the wonted temper in any excess of heat cold viscosity grosness thinness or any such like quality none of the accustomed functions will be well performed The helps of Health For which cause those chief helps to preserve and restore health have been divinely invented Phlebotomie or blood-letting which amends the quantity of too much bloud and Purging which corrects and draws away the vicious quality But now let us begin to speak of the Humors taking our beginning from the Definition An Humor is called by Physitians what thing soeuer is liquid and flowing in the body of living Creatures endued with Blood and that is either natural or against nature What an Humor is The natural is so called because it is fit to defend preserve and sustain the life of a Creature The manifold division of Humors Quite different is the nature and reason of that which is against nature Again the former is either Alimentary or Excrementitious The Alimentary which is fit to nourish the body is that Humor which is contained in the veins and arteries of a man which is temperate and perfectly well and which is understood by the general name of blood which is let out at the opening of a vein For Blood otherwise taken is an Humor of a certain kind distinguished by heat and warmness from the other Humors comprehended together with it in the whole mass of the blood Which thing that it may the better be understood I have thought good in this place to declare the generation of Blood by the efficient and material causes All things which we eat or drink are the materials of Blood The material and efficient causes of blood which things drawn into the bottom of the Ventricle by its attractive force and there detained are turned by the force of concoction implanted in it into a substance like to Almond-butter Which thing although it appear one and like it self yet it consists of parts of a different nature which not only the variety of meats but one and the same meats yields of it self We term this Chylus What the Chylus is when it is perfectly concocted in the stomach But the * Vena porta Gate-vein receives it driven from thence into the small Guts and sucked in by the Meseraick-veins and now having gotten a little rudiment of change in the way carries it to the Liver where by the Blood-making faculty which is proper and natural to this part it acquires the absolute and perfect form of Blood But with that Blood Where the Blood is perfected at one and the same time and action all the Humors are made whether alimentary or excrementitious Therefore the Blood that it may perform its Office that is the faculty of nutrition must necessarily be purged and cleansed from the two excrementitious Humors of which the bladder of Gall draws one which we call yellow Choler and the Spleen the other which we term Melancholy These two Humors are natural but not alimentary or nourishing but of another use in the body as afterwards we will shew more at large The Blood freed from these two kinds of Excrements is sent by the veins and arteries into all parts of the body for their nourishment Which although then it seem to be of one simple nature The receptacles of Choler and Melancholy Four unlike Humors in the Blood yet notwithstanding it is truly such that four different and unlike substances may be observed in it as Blood properly so named Phlegm Choler and Melancholy not only distinct in colour but also in taste effects and qualities For as Galen notes in his Book de Natura humana Melancholy is acide or sour Choler bitter Blood sweet Phlegm unsavoury But you may know the variety of their effects both by the different temper of the nourished parts as also by the various condition of the diseases springing from thence For therefore such substances ought to be tempered and mixed amongst themselves in a certain proportion which remaining health remains but violated diseases follow For all acknowledg A comparison of Blood and new Wine that an Oedema is caused by Phlegmatick a Scirrhus by Melancholick an Erysipelas by Cholerick and a Phlegmone by pure and laudable blood Galen teaches by a familiar example of new wine presently taken from the Press that these four substances are contained in that one mass and mixture of the blood In which every one observes four distinct Essences for the flower of the wine working up swims at the top the dregs fall down to the bottom but the crude and watery moisture mixed together with the sweet and vinous liquor is every where diffused through the body of the wine the flower of the wine represents Choler which bubbling up on the superficies of blood as it concretes and grows cold shineth with a golden colour the dregs Melancholy which by reason of its heaviness ever sinketh downward as it were the mud of the blood the crude and watery portion Phlegm for as that crude humor except it be rebellious in quantity Phlegm is Blood half concocted or stubborn by its quality there is hope it may be changed into Wine by the natural heat of the Wine so Phlegm which is blood half concocted may by the force of native heat be changed into good and laudable blood Which is the cause that nature decreed or ordained no peculiar place Why it hath no proper receptacle as to the other two humors whereby it might be severed from the blood But the true and perfect liquor of the wine represents the pure blood which is the more laudable and perfect portion of both humors of the confused mass It may easily appear by the following Scheme of what kind they all are and also what the distinction of these four Humors may be  NATURE CONSISTENCE COLOUR TASTE USE Blood is Of Nature airy hot and moist or rather temperate Of indifferent consistence neither too thick nor too thin Of Colour red rosie or crimson Of Taste sweet Of such use that it chiefly serves for the nourishment of the fleshy parts and carryed by the vessels imparts heat to the whole body Phlegm is Of Nature watery cold and moist Of Consistence liquid Of Colour white Of Taste sweet or rather unsavory for we commend that water which is unsavory Fit to nourish the brain and all the other cold and moist parts to temper the heat of the blood and by its slipperiness to help the motion of the joynts Choler is Of Nature fiery hot and dry Of Consistence thin Of Colour yellow or
