to Meliceres which see which sticks so close to the Scull that many times it infects and corrupts it Tetanus is a constant Contraction whereby a Limb grows rigid and inflexible The Cause of it is sometimes a Relaxation or Palsy in some other Muscles which when they are relaxed the opposite Muscles act too strongly so that they draw the part wholly to themselves which ought to consist as it were in an Aequilibrium betwixt both Yet sometimes such a permanent Contraction may proceed from the Tendons being loaded and obstructed with serous Matter which thereupon grow rigid and stiff This Distemper is frequent in the Scurvies that the Patient can extend neither Joint nor Limb The Tendons in the Back are sometimes contracted into a round globular Form which by reason of such an Afflux of Humours upon them draw the Bones out of their due place and cause an hunched Back or a stooping and bending of it It is usually distinguished into Vniversal of which there are three sorts
