Brief Discourse OF THE STOMACH And PARTS Subservient unto it OF THE Generating of Blood and Humors their degen●rating into Diseases how and by what means they are wrought up in the Body Set forth in a DIALOGUE between a Physician and a Countrey-man his Patie●● Made so Plain and Easie that any one may know so much of his own Strength and Constitution as to Judge of his State of Health and Tendency to Sickness and be able to help Himself therein In Order to which Is Subjoyned AN ACCOUNT of that Incomparable EXTRACTVM PA●ARETON Or Extract of Vniversal Vertue and Sufficiency in the Cure of Most but especially Chronical Diseases incident to Men and Women Prepared by the Art and Industry of EDWARD JEWEL● 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 Hippocrat Aph. lib. 2.25 LONDON Printed in the YEAR 167● A Brief DISCOVRSE of the Stomach c. Patient HAving been often invited to Town by some Business I am now the rather Perswaded thereto by an earnest desire I have had to discourse with you about your Writings and Pills which you have Placed among us in the Countrey as well as in this City Physitian What hath directed your Curiosity to me alone since from this Town the Country is abundantly furnished with many sorts of Pills Powders Drinks Spirits c. Which promise you wonders far above what I have given you to expect from my Pills which notwithstanding may not be inferiour to any Medicine this day Extant Patient Sir It is not from any mis-apprehension I have of your Pills for I am well satisfied of their Vertues having known many in our Parts who have taken them with great success and satisfaction none complaining of any Violence Griping or any other ill Effects which are commonly found in most Purging Medicines But that which hath brought me to you is a desire to be better satisfied in the Nature and Differences of some Diseases which are frequent amongst us which though you in your Writings have described very fully and authentically yet not without some Obscurity and Termes of Art which though they might rather recommend you to the more Learned to me and others of my meaner capacity would be much more acceptable and profitable were they made more plain and familiar Physitian I should willingly comply with your desires herein but then I perceive that I must treat you rather as a Pupil then a Patient in that you seem to require of me a History of Diseases which would ask larger Discourses and more time then this opportunity will afford But in regard that you have applied your self to my advice before that of others I shall take care that you go not from me unsatisfied in what so neerly concerns you And therefore shall lay you down a Method whereby you or any other Person may apprehend and understand the Original of Diseases in General and be able to reduce them practically to every ones particular Case as occasion offers And these shall be drawn from some easie notions in Anatomy by which I shall give you a Prospect though drawn in little of the principal parts of the Body which are design'd by Nature for the nourishment and support thereof and their subserviency each to other in order thereunto And then shew you how from an accidental deficiency in their Functions all diseases are caused And afterward inform you of the differencing signs of those in which you are at a loss Patient Sir This will more fully Answer my desires and moreover oblige me and many others who wanting means to apply themselves to a Physician know not how to beware the approaches of sickness nor how to behave themselves in it Physitian You are to consider that the substance of our Bodies suffering a daily decay and wasting as well by our own innate or inbred heat perspiration of the purer parts of the Humours through the pores of the Skin the impressions of the Ambient Air as by the common Evacuations of Nature so there is required a daily supply of Nourishment to repair and make good whatsoever is spent of that store which is provided to support and preserve it in its perfection To this end our All-wise Creator hath prepared and fitted the Members and Organs of the Body in their several places and offices to be assistant to each other in order to the effecting this admirable work The Stomach is the first principal Agent of these which as it were a Kitchen serves to dress prepare all Meats and Drinks though of different substance which are brought into it and by its concocting faculty reduceth them into a white Milky substance which is called Chyle Which passing through the lower * Py●oru●● Orifice of the Stomach into the Intrail where having but a slow passage by reason of the many turnings and windings by which they are united to the Mesentery and receiving there another kind of concoction it is again altered and the purer part thereof by the Miseraick Veins call'd The Hands of the Liver through the Vein call'd vena porta from that Office carried into the hollow part of the Liver where by a higher and more Eleborate Concoction it is turned into that admirable Balsamick liquor call'd Blood Which from thence passeth into the hollow Vein whose trunck divides it self into two great Branches the one tending downwards to carry Blood to the lower parts Vena Ca●… the other upwards and mounteth even to the Throat dividing again by the way into other Branches one of which asteneth it self to the right ventricle of the heart by which the Blood is brought thither from the Liver where being yet higher Elaborate and Enriched it is transmitted or conveyed over to the left vintricle where the Arteries take their Original which contain the Vital Blood and Spirits which do enliven and exercise the faculties of the Body by other Branches it ariseth into the Brain where the Animal Spirits are made which also is the Seat of the Reason Memory Judgment and Phansie as also of all sense and motion here these faculties of the soul by the said Spirit are exercised in the Brain also are all the Nerves or Sinews implanted and derived into all the parts which cause a voluntary motion of the Body by which it walks stands up lies down or causeth any other exercise according to the dictate of the will which could not be done without the Nerves Having now shewed you how the meat is turned into Chyle the Chyle is turned into Blood how that it is from the Liver as from a Fountain sent through the Veins like Channels or Pipes to the principal parts and from thence by infinite smaller Veins into every part of the Body and by their several faculties assimilated or made like to their own form as into Flesh Nerves Bones Membrans c. In order to the making up and preserving the whole Frame of the Body it remains now that I shew you what use I design to make of this discourse to
