pituitae alia mira quae intus corercita deinde excernuntur cum urina Nor is Sennertus that Learned and excellent man less observing in his Chapter de vermibus aliis praeter naturam in vesica natis And none of our books treating of preternatural accidents but are plentifully stored with strange productions from the womb Concessions much strengthening our present Case though they clear not the reason of it Nor do I believe the reason is easily found out Multa tegit sacro involucro Natura Though till I am better convinc't I must suppose these Bladders voided by our Patient to be bred in her bladder if there or in her womb as Aposthumes of which there are great varieties arising from choice of matter as Sennertus well observes disseminated through the whole body some of them inclosed in a proper tunicle receiving form and matter from the place they are generated in I have been lately assured by a Person worthy to be credited that having had some years since discourse with an Eminent Physician in these parts whose infirmities generally tyed him to his Chamber he was then told by him that he once had a Patient a Gentlewoman of good quality who on her Urine had a fat scum with various colours in it under which swam many Bladders the bigness of a large pins head very clear which being broke afforded a slimy water which he conceived were the effects of some Apostumated matter in the Reins and not improbable so various is Nature in the discharge of her burden But that which sways most next to what may be imputed to the irregularities of the womb is the opinion of a Learned Physician whose deserts challenge more than is paid to his years and merits He conceives these Bladders come from the Mesentery and are the involucra and Cystes of Scrophulous Tumors generated there there being as Vigo maintains the focus and seminary of the Scrophula expelled thence as Schenckins observes of other evacuations per ductus occultos and hence Forestus in his Treatise of Chirurgical observations lib. 3 p. 259. in 8º from Arnoldus observes that Aquae minerales aluminosae non solùm infernos hos strumosos ac pituitosos abscessus sed externos quoque summa corporis occupantes imminuunt ac discutiunt from whence this Patient received so much benefit But to our intent The Collick seldom here misses of a Cure Holmes who had lately the ground in Lease gives an excellent Testimony of this as others whilest I was on the place Since Mr. William Blackbourn of Billings a young Gentleman having some sharp heats breaking forth in his body went the last Autumn to Holywell in hopes the coldness of that Well certainly a clear and fresh one would have relieved him But washing there returned notwithstanding with the same heats increast and some days after had the Collick so extreamly as it tormented him much Whereupon coming to this Spaw he drank plentifully of it and was that day cured of his Collick and mended immediately of his itch This Spaw hath wrought good effects on long obstructions of which something hath been took notice of in Dintons Case The Countess of Derby being sensible of a more than ordinary indisposition on her right Hypochonder applyed her self two years since to the drinking of this Spaw The Spaws in Germany those of Ardenne as that of Wilong in the Territories of the Lantgrave of Hesse famous for the Dutchess of Longaveile Sister to the Duke of Conde proving afterwards with Child having been no strangers to her Palat and observations which incouraged that Excellent and discerning Person to hope well of her own Spaw at Latham in tast and trial not unlike Upon drinking of which she found so notable an improvement of her health languid and impair'd before that her appetite return'd the rawness and crudity of her stomach before mentioned wore off her flushings and heats grew less and her Liver till then stretcht immoveably to her ribs grew loose and plyable and all upon drinking this water this admirable vehicle imbib'd with such active qualities as wasting the pertinacious humours adhering to the Parenchyma and vessels before rebellious to ordinary solutives and medicines restored her Ladiship to the excellent health she now enjoys The Lady Colchesters Gentlewoman complaining through a long indisposition of much pain inher head and stomach with a strange averseness to meat a vomiting afterwards drank orderly after some small preparations of this Spaw and in few days grew well and so continues In old Aches and inward and outward Sores this Spaw is of good effect Thomas Holmes of Slade about 50 years old having been troubled several years last past with a pain about his Midriff which though not altogether yet in great measure hindred his daily Labour contracted by a strain lifting a great weight neer 20 years since the last May began to drink of this Spaw not constantly and regularly but as he thought fit and business permitted him in quantity about two quarts at a time and is now not only freed of his pains but can daily do more work than he could possibly reach to for some years before His Servant also about Christmass was twelve-month got a strain in his back lifting more than he could well master which disinabled him much In June last he drank of this Spaw for the most part twice a day for some weeks whereby he is now lusty and follows his labour close without the least sense of his former Complaints Henry Maudesley within the Mannour of Latham being in very great pain at his heart in his thighs legs feet and head you must accept of his own expressions for which he had tryed what help Boulton and the Country afforded Eminent men in some places but in vain came or rather with much ado crawled to Latham Spaw with a strong confidence where in the morning he drank thereof freely and getting a bottle carried it full home of the same water and drank of it when he went to bed Next morning he found himself amaz'd at the Deliverance in a very good Condition and both his thighs broken out with pimples out of which issued much water whereupon he immediately grew perfectly well and so continues Alexander Parr one of the Keepers of Latham Park on a bruise vomited much blood and thereupon grew weak and short-winded but drinking of this Spaw recovered strength grew hearty and spat no more blood Thomas Aiscough one of an athletick constitution upwards of 50. every winter for some years last past being troubled with a severe Cough together with a shortness of breath complaining withall of such exquisite pains in his shoulders and over his brests as the anguish of them would sometimes cloud his Reason Quibus etsi non tollitur lumen illud ut sic dicam mentis tamen interdum offuscatur velut nubeculâ serenitatem ejus subducunt to make use of dear Lipsius his words to Prunius then his pains
