Restore the consumed Flesh and Snails are the best things that I know for it for Man being made of the slime of the Earth all slimy things restore his Nature when it languisheth and therefore they play the wise men indeed if a man may speak by contraries that first purge away the slime of the Snails before they use them Chap. 45.

Signs of a hot and dry temperature of the Testicles THe Seed Procreative of such people is hot dry and thick yet most fruitful and engenders usually the strongest Children such people be they Men or Women it matters not much are very prone to Venery they have soon Hair about their Privities and the Parts about them even to their Navil upwards and the midst of their Thighs downward but as they are prone to Venery so are they soon satisfied and are offended with compulsion to that sport Culpeper If you perceive too much heat in those Parts for omne nimium vertitur in vicium use cooling Herbs as Endive Succory Housleek Lettice Plantane Purslane these clarified in Whey are very good and wholsom as also Roses Water Lillies Cucumers the Seeds of Cucumers and Melones of Poppies both white and black c.

Signs of a hot and moist temperature of the Testicles IF moisture be joyned to heat of the Testicles as it is in many People of a Sanguine Complexion they â—re not so full of hair about their Privities as the former are they abound more in Seed yet is not their Appetite to Copulation so great they suffer less detriment by the often use of the Act than the former do for in deed and in truth they receive more detriment by abstinence from the Act than by operating in it Culpeper I take this to be the Temperature the Testicles should be of and therefore it is needless to prescribe Remedies only I care not greatly if here I be a little critical against the Colledg of Physitians it comes so pat in my way I know not well how to avoid it and therefore harken to me that God may hearken to you Is not Seed of Man take Man for both Sexes as the Latins take Homo and the Greeks {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} Is not I say the Seed of Man hot and moist which is the Causa Formans of the Child is not the Mothers Blood whereof the Child is formed naturally hot and moist also is not the Cell of the Womb in which the Child is formed hot and moist were your wits then a wool-gathering or did you dream waking when you wrote in your Book of the Rickets that a Child newborn before its Complexion be altered by any Medium is cold and moist of Constitution I pray if ever your Book deserve another Impression let that be amended or else defaced with a Deleatur for an Error of the first Magnitude Chap. 48. Signs of a cold and moist temperature of the Testicles THe Indications of a cold and moist temperature of the Testicles are smoothness and moisture about those parts averseness to the Sports of Venus they care not whether ever they come to that School or not the Seed is thin watry and unfruitful and either produceth no Conception at all or else but a weakly sickly puny Girl at the best Culpeper This hath need enough of Remedy in whomsoever is afflicted by it let such eat the quantity of a Nutmeg of Diasutyrion every morning you may have it at the Apothecaries or if you please to make use of my Translation of the London Dispensatory you have there the way how to make it your selves As for Simples Rocket Nettle Seeds Barnet Mugwort Penyroyal Lovage the Roots of Satyrion Maddir and Eringo the Berries of Bay and Juniper Nutmegs for Herbs Peony Sinkfoyl and Mother or Time Calaminth Featherfew and Rue Chap. 49.

Chap. 50. Of the Habit of the whol Body WEE told you before that the Habit of the whol Body usually followed the Nature or agreed with the Constitution of the Heart and the Liver but of the two it is most assimilated to that which hath the strongest first quality in it which for that cause it is called effective Take then notice That we call that the Habit of the Body which is presented to the
to take it often And he which we told you of that had an Obstruction in his Liver by reason of the narrowness of the Vessels and extenuating diet was found out for his Remedy Chap. 88. Of Solution of Continuity IT remains now that we speak a word or two of that kind of Disease which is incident both to Similar and Instrumental parts viz. Solution of Continuity or Unity which you please which although it happen many times to men in perfect health yet because it causeth passion it may be numbred amongst Diseases for if a sensible hurt of Operation make not a difference between health and sickness I know not what doth Yet amongst these also is some difference for some of these give Healthful Signs some Unhealthful and some Neutral as for the Cure that must be according to the Nature of the Part hurt and the Essence of the Disease hurting Culpeper Me thinks Galen is very misty and hard to be understood in this I shall give you his meaning as well as I can and rest confident if I do vary from the meaning of Galen as it may be I may not yet I will not vary at all from the truth Then consider 1. Solution of Unity is made by Wounds or Ulcers 2. A Wound is a Solution of Unity new bloody and without putrefaction and it is either 1. Simple without accidents 2. Compound with accidents as loss of substance Bruise Swelling Inflamation Pain Convulsion c. 3. Difference according to place or part of the Body 't is in whether Principal or not Principal Spermatical or not Spermatical 4. Difference in respect of end as great little hard or easie to cure dangerous mortal 3. An Ulcer is a Solution of unity with matter differing in substance from the flesh about it 1. Its kinds are either plain hollow fistulous sanious virulent cancrous corrosive putrefactive 2. Its accidents are pain swelling Inflamation hardness callus evil flesh hard lips distemper Worms Bones corrupted If any will contend that Fractures and Dislocations are Solutions of Unity they may I shall pass them here they being not things for every Child in Physick to meddle withal this is a Horn book to Physick and you shall seldom find Latin or Greek written in such a Book Chap. 89. Of the Common Intention of Cure THe Art of Curing hath one common Intention which is taking away that which is contrary to the Cure and all such Causes as bring Health do no more Also the disposition of every part to be cured is to be considered hot distempers are to be cuted by cold causes cold by hot causes for if whatsoever be immoderate thwart Nature and whatsoever is moderate help Nature then of necessity whatsoever is immoderate one way must be brought to Mediocrity by its contrary immoderate and this may be done two waies either according to power or according to imagination according to power when a thing is really so according to imagination when we conceit a thing to be so as it is not Of these things we have spoken in our Vertues of Simple Medicines As for the Cure of such Diseases as are already inherent to the Body we must regard the cause of the Disease put case for example a Feaver ariseth of putrified Humors The Indication of Cure is Evacâ—â—â—ion and Alteration Alteration is cooling the heat of the Humor by cool Medicines this taketh away the Effects but the Cause is taken away by Evacuation as Bleeding Sweating or Clysters or drawing the Humor to another place as by Blisters or the like In this you must regard the matter offending both in respect of Quantity and Quality and the manner of use of your Medicines this we have largely shewed in our Therapeuticks only this let us stick to in all Cures to take away the matter which causeth the Disease by the Roots If the Disease be Compound use a Composition of Simples fitting for it if the Disease be great let the Medicine be the stronger in all let the Medicine be proper for the Disease for example If the Disease exceed Nature in ten parts of heat and seven parts of driness let the Medicine be ten parts colder and seven parts moister Also the part of the Body is to be considered that so the coldness of the Medicine may make the afflicted part no colder than it ought to be if the Disease lie in a remote part of the Body the Medicine ought so to be formed that it lose not its Vertue before it come to that part let it then have not so much heat only as the Disease requires but somwhat more even so much as is necessary to penetrate to the afflicted part Also the matter or substance of the offending Humor must be heeded for if it be thick it cannot penetrate to the extream parts of the Body and in such cases you must use Medicines that are of a cutting quality Culpeper It seems Galen here minded only an Antipathetical Cure in which his Rules are good there is another way of Cure which we call Sympathetical which is done by strengthning Nature in General and the part of the Body afflicted in particular of this and the reasons for it every one that is fit to give Physick may see in my English Physitian Chap. 90. The Cure of Solution of continuity in a Fleshy Part. SOlution of Unity is cured again by Unity and this in Instrumental parts is impossible Culpeper I think my Author means 't is impossible tó set a mans Arm on again when 't is cut off if he do I am cleerly of his Opinion but when a man hath cut his Finger there is a Solution of Unity in an Instrumental part and yet that is easily cured Galen The Cure of Solution of Unity in Similary parts is not alwaies possible but in fleshy parts it is unless the loss of substance be so great that the sides of the Wound cannot be joyned together without marring the form of the Body Our present task then is 1. To joyn the parts of the Body together which are separated by the Wound or Ulcer 2. To keep them together being so joyned 3. To clense the Ulcer of what hinders the Cure 4. To preserve the part sound being cured The First and Second are performed by convenient binding and stitching together To the Third we must have a care 1 That neither dust filth nor hairs fall into it 2 That no Corruption breed in it that may hinder the Cure 3 If there be much defluxion of Humors to it either purge them out or draw them back to another place To the Fourth Strengthen the part when you have cured it with convenient drying Medicines Thus much of Solution of continuity in a fleshy part Culpeper Galen hath done very well in this I shall only ad an Exhortation to Artists which if they observe they may do well I desire them 1 To work safely without hurt 2 Spèedily without detracting time 3 Do as they would be
rough Voyce A Cleer smooth voyce shews smoothness of the Windpipe as roughness of the Voyce shews roughness of the same part smoothness of the Windpipe shews a moderate temper roughness shews driness for roughness is caused through the inequalitie of a dry Bodie for the driness of the Similarie parts whereof that Arterie is made viz. the Windpipe shews either a defect or unequall distribution of moisture to it Culpeper I would now willingly write a word or two to Musitians whose faculty and worthy Science I exceedingly delight in narrowness of the Windpipe is the cause of a shrill Voyce and that 's the reason Women and Boys whose Windpipe I could have said Trachaea Arteria had I been minded is narrow sing a Trebble best and because the Windpipe even in some of those is narrower than in others some of them are able to sing higher than others even above E-la On the contrary such men in whom the Windpipe is very large are able to sing a deep Base even below Gamma-ut to double B-mi double A-re and some few happily to double Gamma-ut Then consider that harshness of Voice proceeds from roughness of the Windpipe as cleerness of Voyce from the smoothness thereof somthing therefore to help a harsh Voyce 1. By way of Caution Avoid all Salt and sowt things for they make the Windpipe rough 2. By way of Advice Sweet things must needs make it smooth but use them moderately lest you clam up your Lungs Then consider whether your Lungues be too hot or too cold the forâ—going Rules will certifie you and as you find your Constitution by them so use such sweet things as are either hot or cold you have them both mentioned to you before Chap. 69. Of an Acute Voyce THe Voyce cannot be acute by Nature without narrowness of the Windpipe nor grave without Latitude of it narrowness of the Windpipe ariseth from coldness of Nature Latitude from heat And thus much for the Explanation of Temperaments Culpeper In the first part of this little Chapter Galen hit the Nail at the head when he saith that the Voice cannot be acute by Nature unless the Windpipe be narrow c. this every Musitian will perceive if he do but heed that he contracts his Windpipe when he sings sharps but dilates it when he sings flats But that narrowness of the Windpipe proceedeth from coldness of Nature è contra is as true as Don Quixotte his Windmill was a Knight Errant And I disprove it thus All Chollerick men have usually shril Voices but Chollerick men are hot and dry Ergo Chap. 70. Indications of Natures Instruments VVHatsoever Errors are subject to the Sences either about greatness or Formation or Number or Scituation are very easie to be known but such parts as cannot be discerned by sence the knowledg of some of them is attained with great difficulty of others with great ease therefore the bigness and form both of the Head and Brain is easie to be discerned of which we have spoken before as also such things as belong to the Breast Shoulders Arms Elbows Hands Hips Thighs Legs and Feet 't is no hard matter to know them either by their bigness and formation whether they be in due order or not and according to their number or parts of which their Composition consists the detriment of every operation is seen as cleer as the Sun in a Summers day but by your leaves those things within the Body are not so easie discerned Chap. 71. Of the Stomach THe Stomach of a certain man which I beheld was so small and round and seated so neer the Bowels that it manifestly appeared both to the sight and feeling Chap. 72. Of the Bladder ALso I hapned to behold the Bladder of a certain Man so small and exposed to publick view that when it was full of water it caused a swelling manifestly to be seen outwardly yet could not I take any manifest Indications from any other external part We ought now to endeavor to try whether in these and such things as those there be a vertue in Nature or a vice when they are not subject to sence and of this although we cannot comprehend a certain knowledg yet may we artificially make a probable conjecture As for example in the Liver Chap. 73. Of the Liver I Have seen some and indeed very many whose Veins were very narrow and small and their whol Body of a naughty colour if they had taken in a pretty quantity of meat especially such as is windy thick and tenacious some of them felt a kind of weight as it were on the right side of their Belly others felt a stretching pain there in these now it is probable that the Liver was smal and the passages thereof very narrow Chap. 74. Of a Flegmatick man vomiting Choller I Saw another the whol habit of whose Body gave Indications of Flegm and yet every day he vomited red Choller I thought good to view the Excrements of his Belly and I could see but little Choller appear in them wherefore I conjectured that the passage which carried the Chollerick humor to the Bowels was either very strait or stopped and we know this appears by the Skin in many as in such as have the yellow Jaundice and it is also found in the dissection of many Creatures and therefore he that desires to be expert in the knowledg of such things let him be much conversant at Dissections so shall he gain much knowledg and reap much profit by it we wrote of these severally before we only make mention of some examples of it here that so men might be the more inflamed with aâ—â— earnest desire to learn But enough of these things Chap. 75. How Bodies may be known to be sick HE that would be accounted an expert Physitian must be well acquainted with unhealthful Indications that so he may know when a party is sick and of these some are subject to sence by those things which are within them by change of Nature in magnitude colour form or Figure and Scituation hardness and softness cold and heat Others are not subject to sight nor sence and they are to be known by the hindring or hurting of the operations pains or unnatural swelling by all these or some of these Chap. 76. Signs of an afflicted Brain PArticularly the Signs of such as are ill in their Brain or have that Noble part of the Body indisposed are subject to madness or folly or their Sences or Imagination is hurt and not able to perform its Office as it should do and the Humor offending may be known somtimes by what humor comes out by the Mouth Nostrils or Ears or by pain in some particular part of the Head Chap. 77. Signs of an afflicted Heart AFflictions of Heart are known by difficulty of Breath and also by the trembling usual motion of the Heart it self by the motion of the Pulses by the heat of the Body either soon heating or soon cooling
you would disperse any humor from the lower parts of the Body let the Medicine be strong lest it lose its strength before it come at the afflicted part neither need you fear the superior parts will be afflicted by such Medicines seeing the cause of the affliction lies not in them neither are the Medicines to be apropriated to them Then consider That the parts afflicted by such deâ—luxions some are rare loose and soft by Nature others thick and hard by Nature the former are easily emptied you must use sharper Remedies to the latter The Indications then must be taken both from the substance of the afflicted part and also from the Formation and Scituation of it for example if it happen so that the Liver be afflicted by Humors in the small Vessels thereof which Humors are thin viscuous thick or superaboundant Is it not the readiest way first to separate these by extenuating meats and drinks and change them into another substance Then in the second place to empty those by passages which are large and not by those that are narrow whereas you cannot bring them thither without extenuating for there are large passages Meatus in the Liver as well as narrow which pass to the Vena Cava as the narrow doth to the Vena Porta It is no such difficult matter then when Humors are thick and tough in the Liver to evacuate them by drawing them to the Vena Cava by such Medicines as have a drawing quality that so they may be cast out by Urine But besides these here is another Indication to be taken from the Liver it self Suppose it be so weakned by moistning Medicines or Cataplasms that it is unabled not only to perform its own Office but weakens the Veins also in such a case you must mix some binding things with your Medicines but seeing the Liver lies so low 't is some Question whether the binding Medicines be not weakned before they come at it unless they be mixed with some things else of more subtil parts as Spices are If you make up your Medicines of such Spices as bind Nature when she hath gotten two Qualities to serve her turn in one Medicine will operate the stouter Culpeper I know at present none better for such a purpose than Cinnamon and Cassia Lignea and if you mix a little Spodium amongst them it will not do amiss Galen Also take another Animadversion Have a care the Natural temper of the part afflicted be not distempered by the Humor flowing to it if it be Flegm that flow to it it may be it is too cold if Choller too hot you must cure this distemper before ever you can restore the Member to its pristine health and strength and this is to be cured by its contraries namely cold by heat and heat by cold and herein also you must be well versed namely how hot and cold every Member by Nature ought to be for how can you tell else when it exceeds its due proportion in cold or heat or when you have cooled or heated it enough Chap. 96. Of Diseases according to Number HAving spoken enough of these things we come now to such whose Number is not according to Nature and seing their difference is twofold one in which some part is deficient the Cure of which is by subministring to Nature the other which is superaboundant which ought to be cut off either by Iron or Fire or Medicines which have a burning quality all these may be cured 't is true but nâ—w ones cannot be gotten in their rooms that are wanâ—â—ng some there are that though they cannot be generaâ—â—â— again yet somthing may be made in lieu of them â—s â— Bone being taken away you â—ay put in some substaâ—ce different from both Bone and Flesh â—â—â—â—eâ—d of it for there is a certain Callus Flesh 〈◊〉 in the room of it which though it seem like Flesh at first yet in process of time it grows to the hardness of a Bone so also any Member being cut off seeing we cannot make its like in substance we may make the like of it in shew that so the Body may the better retain its beauty Culpeper A right Worshipful Business and teacheeh a man thus much knowledg That he may make a wooden Leg. Chap. 97. Of Diseases according to Magnitude AS for Diseases according to Magnitude when the bigness of the parts of the Body are according to nature they are as they should be if any parts be bigger or smaller than they should be you should take away from those that are too big or if that cannot be withdraw the matter to another place cherrish those that are deficient in bigness and take away those that superabound this was spoken to more at large before Chap. 98. Of Diseases according to Scituation VVE come to that other kind of Healthful causes which amends such parts as are out of place as Luxations Ruptures c. this is done by some violent stretching or stroke or else by some dilation or breaking of the Continent Twofold then also is the way of Cure the one is by reducing it to its proper place the other by strengthning the part after it is reduced Chap. 99. Of Preservative Causes THis Chapter seems to contain in it the Sum of all what hath hitherto been spoken of Preservatives there are three Kinds 1. Such as have respect to men in perfect Health 2. Such as regard men not in perfect Health 3. Such as belong to men that are Sick The first maintains Health the other two attain it The whol Basis of this is chiefly busied about Humors which ought neither to be too thick nor too thin neither too watry nor too many nor too hot nor to cold nor too biting neither subject to Putrefaction nor yet of a Venemous Nature for when any of these are encreased they engender Diseases The Intention of Cure of this is Alteration and Evacuation They are altered when they are either concocted by the Body it self or by some other Faculties which have a Medicinal Force or Operation as by such things as expel poyson they are evacuated by Purges Clvsters Sweatings and Vomitings these are common Evacuations proper are such as are apropriated to certain parts and places of the Body the Bowels are purged by Stool the Liver by Urine the whol Body by Sweat the Head by Sneezing the Lungues by Coughing c. Besides there are some sorts of Purges which draw the Humors from all parts of the Body as Pills Chap. 100. Of that part of the Art which refresheth Old Age SUch Food Diet and Medicines as refresh and restore are most fit for Ancient People The Disposition of Ancient people is the best Disposition but yet Blood in them is but little neither is their Vital 〈◊〉 Animal Spirit much their sollid parts are dry therefore is their strength weak and their whol Body cold The Healthful Causes which amend this Disposition that I may comprehend them all in one

Signs of a dry Stomach THe Indications of the Stomach when it is dryer than Naturally it ought to be are If the parâ—â— be very thirsty and is sufficed by a little Drink but burdened if he drink much he spits much and he delights in dry Meats Imagine meats roasted till they are burned burned crusts of Bread and the like Culpeper Things Medicinal for a dry Stomach are Syrup of Violets Violet Leaves and Strawberry Leaves Barberries Lettice Purslane Roses Apples Cherries Strawberries Water-Lillies Orrenges Lemmons Cucumers Prunes Tamarinds with many other things which you may find in my English Physitian Chap. 61. Of a moist Stomach IF the Stomach be moister than it ought to be the man is seldom a thirst yet will the Stomach endure much moisture and takes delight only in moist meats Culpeper Simples Medicinal are Galanga Cinnamon Pomegranate Pills Mastich Wormwood Mints Mother of time Sage Rosemary Flowers Cloves Nutmegs Annis seeds Cardamoms Pepper If the Stomach be too moist be sure that party hath little Appetite to his Victuals in such a case take Cinnamon Galanga Cloves Pomegranate Pills of each a like quantity beat them to Pouder and let the sick take half a dram every morning in any convenient Liquor Chap. 62. Signs of a hot Stomach IF the Stomach be hot it digests faster than the Appetite calls for food nay it usually makes a better shift with Meats hard of digestion than it doth with those that are easie because it is subject to corrupt meats lights of Digestion it rejoyceth in hot Meats and Drinks neither is it hurt by such as are cold if they be moderately taken Culpeper It is to be supposed that Galen speaks here of the Stomach Naturally hot not distempered by heat for then driness must of necessity be joyned with it and indeed the Stomach is the Cook-room of the Body and it cannot well have too great a fire in it unless you â—ire the House or the Chimney I mean cause an Inflamation in the Stomach or the Throat I shall only give this Caution Let such accustom their Bodies to meats hard of digestion as Beef Pork Cheese Herrings Salt-fish c. Chap. 63. Signs of a cold Stomach THe Stomach that is cold by Nature hath a very quick Appetite I suppose because that which causeth the Appetite comes from the Spleen but alas-a-day when it hath satisfied Appetite the digestive faculty is not at home or else 't is so feeble 't is not able to do it's Office and yet their misery is such they usually desire meats not easie to be digested and therefore they are alwaies troubled with sowr belchings they cannot endure cold things should outwardly be applied to their Stomachs neither indeed can such as have hot Stomachs endure hot things should be applied to that Region but those distempers which seize the Stomach by reason of some Disease differ from those that are Natural for the Stomach diseased desires its contrary inwardly viz. if it be hot it desires cold things but when the heat is Natural it desires its like Culpeper A Stomach naturally cold for I told you before that was Galens meaning and I assure you I translated him at first sight I say if the Stomach be naturally cold your best way is to warm it a little you may do it by taking a dram of London Treacle every morning or a little Mithridate or Diagalanga Aromaticum Cariophylatum c. or by eating a little green Ginger As for Simples you may take the Roots of Fennel Calamus Aromaticus Avens Galanga Ginger the Leaves of Wormwood Fennel Mints Sage mother of time Squinanth Cloves Nutmegs Cinnamon Annis Seeds Cardamoms Pepper c. the Leaves of Bawm and Carduus Chap. 64. Of ill Temperatures commixed in the Stomach IF you fear a Commixture of Distemperatures in your Stomach compare them with the Simple tempers and you may easily find out what they be neither would I have you mind the Stomach alone but also other parts of the Body for 't is not the Stomach alone which makes men thirsty but somtimes the Heart or Lungues which by drawing in air that is too hot and retaining it long cause heat in the Breast and such desire drink no less than such whose Stomach is too hot but you may distinguish it thus If the Breast be too hot the thirst is not â—laid by drinking and less quenched by drinking cold drink than by drinking hot also the Breathing in of cold air easeth such whose Breast is hot but doth no good at all to such whose Stomach is hot by these notes then you may distingnish them Chap. 65. Signs of cold Lungs THis is the greatest Indication of the coldness of the Lungs when you feel a manifest pain offence and coldnss at your Breast by drawing in cold air also a warm air is frindly to them and causeth them to cough up their Excrements with more ease Culpeper Things which heat the Lungs are Alicampane Liquoris Juyce of Liquoris Lohoch of Fox Lungs Bettony Hysop Bawm Scabious maiden Hair the Flowers and Conserves of these together with Compositions made of them also Juniper Berries sweet Almonds Hazel Nuts Figs Dates Raisons of the Sun Nettle Seeds c. Chap. 66. Signs of dry Lungs WHen the Lungs are dry they want Excrements to wit Flegm Spittle and as moisture of the Lungs causeth an obscure Voice so driness of the same causeth a cleer voice and when they strain to speak vehemently or acutely then Excrements come from the Nose or Mouth from which soever they come they come from the Lungs Culpeper If you find your Lungs be too dry you may moisten them with Medicines but be sure they be such Medicines as strengthen them also be not too busie fiddle-faddling with your own Bodies 't is an easier matter for you to make your selves sick than well yet I say if you manifestly find your Lungs too dry and find your selves withal prejudiced in health by it thus you may moisten them viz. by taking Lohoch Saâ—um now and then with a Liquoris stick as also Syrup of Violets Poppies and Coltsfoot Simples Medicinal are the Seeds of white Poppies Jujubes Sebestens Strawberry Leaves Violet Leaves and Flowers c. Chap. 67. Of the Voyce YEt would I have you understand that greatness of the Voice comes not altogether from heat neither doth smalness of it in like manner from cold but greatness of the Voyce comes somtimes from the largeness of the Windpipe and smalness of Voice from its straitness therefore if you would judg by the voice you ought withal to regard the natural temper Chap. 68. Of a cleer and
by Feavers and Shiverings by change of colour fainting and pain Chap. 78. Signs of an afflicted Liver INfirmities of the Liver are found out by either defect or superaboundance of Humors when the Humors are turned to places against Nature as the Choller to the Blood in the yellow Jaundice c. by il colour by unnatural digestion by desiring to feed upon things that are not natural food by superfluous Excrements by heaviness and pain and swellings not only at the Region of the Liver but also in other parts of the Body nay somtimes the Liver may be the cause both of difficulty of breathing and coughing Chap. 79. Signs of an afflicted Stomach YOu may rest confident the Stomach is afflictâ—d when people desire food that is either too moist or too dry when it cannot cast up the excrements it ought to do when it is molested by Hiccoughs Belchings strainings to Vomit Vomitings and what humor offends you may know by the colour of what is vomited up Culpeper If you find your Stomach nauseous your best way is to cleer it by a Vomit provided it be not a Woman with child nor subject to the fits of the Mother and afterwards strengthen it as you have been taught before Chap. 80. Signs of an afflicted Breast and Lungs Culpeper IT is my Opinion at present that the Breast is never afflicted but it afflicts the Lungs therefore I put them both together though my Author mentions only the Breast Galen The Infirmities of the Breast are known by difficulty of Breathing by coughing and pains in the Breast and the difference of what is spit out by coughing gives Indication what it is that offends the Breast Also the ilnesses of the Asphera Arteria or Windpipe are known by difficulty of breathing pains in that place offence in the Voyce or difficulty of speaking an according to the same proportion it holds true throughout the Body sure Indications are taken from swelling pain excrements and hurt of the Operation of the ill or afflicted part The Indications of excressences not natural are taken from their hardness softness colour and Inflamations as for example in the small Pox for pain what part of the Body soever it taketh possession of it shews either solution of unity as in Wounds c. or else suddain alteration A solution of Unity as some Authors call it or of continuity as my Author here doth is caused by cutting eating Humors fraction or breaking and stretching The substance of the Body is altered by heat cold driness and moisture The operation of a part is hurt three waies 1. When it performs it painfully 2. When it performs it faultily 3. When it performs it not at all Culpeper Although this be so plain that my Authors meaning may as conspicuously be discerned as the nose in a mans Face yet because some men have as little Brains as other some have Noses I shall explain his last words 1. A mans Arm performs its office painfully when he can scarce lift it up to his Head 2. A mans Arm performs its office faultily when it hath the Palsey 3. A mans Arm performs not its office at all when he hath lost the use of it By instancing in this one particular member you may unless your Brains be in Vtopia find out all the rest Chap. 81. Of the difference of those things that are cast out OF such things as are expelled or cast out some of them are like the parts of the Body that are afflicted others are excrements or at least like excrements for by what is cast out from any part of the Body is Naturally Indications given of the constitution of that part But of this we have spoken more fully in our Treatise of the Members of the Bodie which none before us ever brought into a regular form and indeed though the Ancients made many beginnings yet none drew Physick up into an intire Body before us to that then we refer you Culpeper Galen wrote many great Volumns in Physick 't is confessed but lest I should either put you upon Impossibilities in this particular for want either of Books or learning to use them when you have them or else set you to pick out a grain of Gold from out of a Cart-load of dung I shall explain his meaning in this place 1. He tells you some of the things expelled are like the parts of the Body afflicted as when such as are troubled with the Consumption of the Lungs spit out such filth as resembles the flesh of their Lungues or as it was in the last Epidemical Disease in London when people with their excrements voided things like the skins of their Guts 2. Others he saith are like Excrements as when men from their Lungues spit laudable Flegm or from their Bowels avoid laudable Excrements Chap. 82. Signs of a Sickness to come INdications of a Sickness approaching steer their course in a middle path between those which accompany sound and sick men for in sound men all things are according to Nature but quite and clean against Nature in such as are sick between both these lie the Indications of Neutral Bodies which is our scope at this time Some of the Indications of Neutral Bodies agree with those things according to Nature but differ either in quantity quality or time again other of them are contrary to Nature but less than in such as are sick therefore the dispositions of such people as are falling into a sickness are properly Neutral these are different for 1. Some of them shew health a coming 2. Some shew sickness is neer all shew Neutrality in the present condition for when Indications of health appear to the sick they may be called healthful Signs when Signs of sickness appear to the healthful they may be called unhealthful Signs we thought good to comprehend them both under this word Nâ—utral neither need any Body spend much time in admiration that we devide all Indications into these three Heads Healthful Unhealthful and Neutral if they do but consider that such Signs as we call healthful relate only to People at present in perfect health such as we call Unhealthful relate only to such as are sick without so much as casting an eye to health to come both do it properly without calling help of much reason but rather of sence such as are Neutral Indications are much judged of by reason knowledg and Judgment The difference of Neutral Indications is twofold 1. Such as differ only in quantity quality or time but not at all in species from the things that Physitians call according to Nature as appetite to meat either too much encreased or deminisheâ— or not taken at convenient times or unusual meats or superfluities of meats which are either too few or too many too dry or too hard or either want of superaboundance of moist excrements or excrements that differ in colour consistence or time of excreting from the Ancient Natural custom more or less drink in respect of
somtimes another help Therefore seeing in these very intentions some causes are Healthful we will make some repetition of what belongs to our purpose when the Air is temperate to a Body of the best Constitution a moderate quantity both of meat and drink sleeping and watch motion and rest c. is convenient but when the Air is distemper'd you must vary the rest accordingly that so the Body may neither shake for cold nor sweat for heat as for motion when your body begins to be weary leave off exercise the quantity of food is known by the perfectness of digestion and the excrements avoided ought to be according to the quantity of the food taken in for a good Nature appetites no more than it concocts and the contrary shews a failing in Nature also Nature when it is strong is able to set bounds to sleep and when the Body needs no more the man wakes there is no failing in the Excrements of Urine Dung c. and if you consider this but well you may easily see such a man is not easily moved by affections of the mind viz. Anger sadness fury fear envy c. for these alter the Body from its natural state Culpeper Although what Galen here saith be plain and as true as plain yet for the Benefit of yong Students I shall explain him a little in his six things not Natural for indeed the right course of preserving health consists principally in the right use of these They are as we told you 1. Air 2. Meat and Drink 3. Sleeping and Watching 4. Excrements of the Body 5. Exercise and Rest. 6. Affections of the Mind Of all these in Order and that so plain that a Child may understand it that can but reade his Pater-noster The first part consists in Air in which consider 1. Its Temperature 2. Its Difference 3. Its Quality 4. Its Scituation 5. How it alters our Bodies 6. Its Utility or Profit First Air for its Temperature 1. Considered in it self is cold and moist but not so moist as cold for it produceth the coldest effects to mortals viz. Snow and Ice and is indeed the coldest Element 2. Considered by accident as it participates of the reflective Beams of the Sun it is hot and moist and at some times far hotter and far moister than at other some and so we are here to consider it Secondly The Differences of Air are two 1. Good and Temperate 2. Evil and Intemperate Thirdly The Quality of the Air is altered two waies and it must then you will confess alter the Body as many 1. By the Region as it is well or evil tempered and that 's the reason Agues are so rife in Fenny Countries 2. By the wind and so 1. The East Wind is hot and dry attractive blasting 2. West Wind cold and moist expulsive 3. South Wind hot and moist putrefactive 4. The North Wind cold and dry retentive Fourthly Scituation of the place alters the Air For 1. Stony ground is cold and dry 2. Sandy ground hot and dry 3. Fenny ground cold and moist 4. Woody and fat Land hot and moist Fifthly The Body of man may be altered by the Air three waies 1. By the Quality of the Air which alters the Body in respect of Region Wind and Scituation of place 2. By the substance of the Air which 1. Being gross thick or cloudy makes fat Bodies and dull Wits 2. Being pure and cleer makes nimble Bodies and quick Wits 3. By snddain change of Air for when sickly people go out of a bad Air into a good they find themselves the worse for the present because Nature abhors all suddain changes Sixthly The profit and operations of the Air upon the Body of man are these 1. It helps to engender both Vital and Animal Spirit 2. It cools the Heart by Inspiration 3. It is the Author of Life Diseases and Death to mortal men and women Meat and Drink was noted to be the second part to be handled in which consider 1. Their Quantity 2. Their Quality 3. Custom 4. Order 5. Time 6. Age First The Quantity of Food must be considered 1. According to the substance of the meat whether hard or easie of Digestion 2. According to the Quality of the Food whether hot cold dry or moist in temper and in each whether they be moderate or immoderate 3. According to the Complexion of the Eater of which we shewed you plentifully before Secondly The Quality of the Food is to be considered 1. As it is good or evil 2. As it is hot cold dry or moist in Operation and in all these whether it be temperately meanly or extreamly so 3. As they nourish much or little 4. As they make Juyce thick or thin watry or gross mean or temperate Thirdly As for Custom in eating and drinking 1. It must be well regarded 2. It is like another Nature 3. It makes bad meats to some better than good meats 4. Such meats as please the Pallats of the Eaters best are usually soonest digested but not alwaies 5. If Custom be bad and must be best do it 1. By degrees 2. In time of health if possible Fourthly In treating of the order of eating and drinking I shall take them apart and so speak of them severally For Meat 1. If the Body be bound eat first such Meats as mollifie if loose such as are astringent 2. Slippery meats eaten first are subject to draw down others indigested 3. Restrictive meats eaten first are subject to hinder such from digestion as are eaten afterwards and thereby cause them to putrefie in the Stomach 4. If you consider the two former Aphorisms you may easily find the reason of the first For Drink 1. Accustom your Body to drink as little as may be between Meals 2. Drink not at all at meals before you have eaten somthing 3. Drink the smallest Beer first and the strongest afterwards and this though it be contrary to the Opinion of all Galenists yet it is synonimous so the truth it self and therefore a Cup of Wine drunk after Meals is wholsom for Ancient People and such as are in a Consumption 4. Drink often at Meals whether you be a thirst or not for that 1. helps digestion 2. mingles the meat in the Stomach 3. helps it to pass its Chyle Fifthly Time of eating regard 1. The Time of the yeer for Winter requires more Meat though less Drink than Summer because the Stomach is then hottest 2. Time of the day and as neer as you can keep the same time of eating Sixthly As for Age 1. Children should 1. Eat meats moderately hot and moist because their Natural temper is so let our Physitians in their Rachites prate their pleasure 2. Let them eat often 3. Let them drink no Wine 2. Yong Men 1. May eat cool Herbs 2. Must eat meats colder moister and of grosser substance 3. Drink but little Wine 4. Use all things in respect of Diet according to Complexion Exercise and Custom 3. Old
done by in like case 4 Not aim at Gain 5 Promise no more than they can perform 6 Perform faithfully what they promise Chap. 91. Of Solution of Continuity in a Bone THe breaking of a Bone is a Solution of continuity in it A Bone broken in two cannot be made one again but is only united by a Callous a Callous is made of the very same Nourishment that Nourisheth the Bone and some hold that the Bones of a Child whilst they are yong and tender will unite without a Callous Usually when a Bone is broken the Muscles which lie neer it suffer also therefore the intention of Cure is double one which regards the Bone its self the other which regards the parts of the Body neer the Bone which is broken the latter you find the way of Cure in the foregoing Chapter Because as we told you all Bones are united by Callus you ought to supply Nature with a convenient superfluity to make this and withal to observe a convenient Decorum both in respect of the Qantity and Quality of it and according as you find the fracture to abound with moisture or driness so to prescribe a diet either drier or moister as you see fit Culpeper I as yet know or can at least at present remember no better Remedy in such a case than a strong Decoction of Comfry Roots or Leaves if the time of the yeer afford them you may make the Decoction in Wine or Water or a mixture of them according as you find the Age and Complexion of the Patient to be and the season of the yeer agree and as Comfry is so good for a broken Bone so Knot-grass is as good used in the same manner for a disjuncture Chap. 92. Of pricking of a Nerve or Tendon SEing Nerves and Tendons are of such exquisite sence the pricking of either of them is very subject to produce Convulsions and the reason is because no expiration can come outwardly from those parts to prevent it then you have no other Remedy than to open the Wound and dry it up with Medicines of such thin substance as can penetrate even to the very bottom of the Nerve Culpeper The usual practice of the Chyrurgians of our time in such cases is to cut the Nerve and so suffer the Patient to lose the use of that Member but I suppose if you heedfully read my English Physitian you may find a safer way to the Wood Chap. 93. Of Diseases according to Formation WEE come now to Formation the Diseases of which although they are devided into many Differences we will begin with that which is most evident which is change of Figure or Fashion this we told you might be amended so long as the party is growing and the sooner the better for when once they are grown up 't is past cure The Intention of this Cure is the turning the Member the contrary way If it come by reason the Member was formerly broken and not rightly set if it be new done your way is to break it again and set it better but if long time be elapsed 't is past cure Chap. 94. Of Obstructions OBstructions are caused of Humors either thick or thin the healthful causes of the first are cutting and clensing Medicines That which is caused by hard dung in the Guts remedy the hardnesss of it by moist and fat Clysters and then carry it quite away by such as are sharp The Stone in the Bladder requires cutting and bringing it away Immoderate fulness also causeth Obstructions and they are to be cured by immoderate emptying as bleeding and the like Superfluity of meat is corrected by purging and Vomiting Stoppage of the Lungs by Coughing In the passages of Urine by such things as provoke Urine and Urine is provoked by such things as vehemently extenuate or make thin The Stomach is clensed by Vomiting the Bowels by Purging To conclude whatsoever is contrary to Nature in any part is to be taken away and if that cannot well be done draw it to another part where it may Culpeper I do not well fancy Galens Remedy of cutting such as have the Stone I think nay am confident Remedies not dangerous may be found for the Stone in some of my Works I think in my Translation of the London Dispensatory look Lapis Nephriticus there Chap. 95. Of Roughness and Smoothness VVHat parts of the Body soever have lost their natural habit by roughness natural smoothness is to be restored to them and this be it to the Bones Arteries or Tongue is to be done by mild and moistning Remedies which have no biting quality at al in them Again Other parts of the Body have or may have a smoothness in them which is not Natural roughness is to be recovered to such by Medicines which clense and somthing bind but if there be Obstructions and narrowness of the passages withal use first such Medicines as cut tough Humors If there be a mixture of any of these Diseases let there be the like in the Medicines it is sufficient to give one Example for that 's the Rule we follow in all our Works Suppose a multitude of Blood flow to some particular Member that not only the greater but also the lesser Veins of that Member are extended and by reason of the cleerness of the Skin are cleerly seen 't is to be supposed that other Vessels that cannot be seen are stretched also now the danger is lest that which is sweat out through the Vessels be spilled in the void places in the midst of the Body Now the Cure of this must be done by Evacuation or to write plainer English by Emptying because the Disease proceeds of the immoderate filling of the part but yet this Humor thus passed into the Cavities of the Body will never be brought out that way while the world stands therefore all Evacuation cannot be made at the part of the Body offended if the whol Body be overfilled for if we use Scarrifications or Incisions we shall draw the more thither by reason of the pain if we should attempt to scatter it by heat the heat would draw more to it than it scatters away If we go about to drive it back the Body being full admits no such motion in such a case then you must first evacuate the whol Body then meddle with the particular part afflicted afterwards first repelling the Humor and then dispersing of it And this know The less the Humor is the sooner 't is evocuated cooling and binding Remedies repell â— If you conjecture any offending Humor yet retained in the part first search whether it be thick or thin that so you may expel it either with or without cutting Medicines Alwaies have a care of hot Medicines if the patient part be towards the upper part of the Body because they send Vapors upwards therefore in such cases let the heat of the Medicine be but mean and if it be a little moist withal it can cause no pain but if
Chapter are such things which give present and secure Nourishment if you would take them particularly they consist in moderate Motion Meat Drink and Sleep As for Motion a Coach walking and rubbing themselves are convenient after which let them cool and ease themselves by degrees As for Meats let them first take such as are moist and easie of Digestion but let them avoid cold Meats as much as may be afterward let them eat such as are of good Nourishment for Drink let them drink good Beer and now and then a cup of Wine after Meat as for all particulars I shall not here recite them as having formerly related them in other Volumns Culpeper To this last Chapter of Galens I never intended a Comment because I do intend speedily my self to write a Treatise of the same viz. A Guide for Old Aâ—e Galens Wine I translated Beer because 't is better â—or our Bodies Thus Courteous Reader I leave thee for this time rejoycing much and daily blessing God that he hath been pleased to make me an Instrument of so much good to this Nation as the Acclamations of diverse Gentlemen from diverse parts of this Nation daily testifie to me It is not my desire Reader that thou shouldest be a Fool but a Physitian and the Proverb saith Every man and woman in the world is one of them I have here given thee the first Rudiments and Principles of the Art or at least wise of Galens Art which if it 〈◊〉 for nothing else it will serve to fit thy Brain for greater matters labor then to digest this 't is not so big that thou canst surfet of it and when thou hast well learned it thou shalt be fed with stronger Meat by thy Friend Nich.
