A39844	The preternatural state of animal humours described by their sensible qualities, which depend on the different degrees of their fermentation and the cure of each particular cacochymia is performed by medicines of a peculiar specific taste, described : to this treatise are added two appendixes I. About the nature of fevers and their ferments and cure by particular tastes, II. Concerning the effervescence and ebullition of the several cacochymia's ... / by the author of Pharmacho bazagth.

some of our Humours rarefied into Spirits or Vapours Melancholy Distempers are deduced from Spirits drawn from that Cacochymia The Phrenitis from Choleric Spirits and the Epilepsie from Fumes As to the use of the Brain Galen observes That the Skins and outward Part of the Brain may be cut away without loss of Sense or Motion but when the Medullary Part of the Brain or Nerves is wounded both perish He asserts That the Nerves bring the Faculty of Motion to the Muscles by this Experiment If a Nerve be cut or the Spinal Marrow all the Parts below the Incision lose their Sense and Motion but those above preserve it He was as much perplexed about the Porosity of the Nerves as the Moderns but neither can otherways explain the Diseases of the Nerves than by supposing some Aerial and innate Animal Particles like Vapours passing through the Nerves to give them a Tension And as no Age could ever doubt of the Passage of the Chyle into the Blood before the Discovery of the Lacteals so we are forced to confess the Contents of the Nerves though we can no way discern them for upon the Death of an Animal the Spirits may readily sink into the Muscles or Veins or Lymphatics and Glandules or else be so Aerial as many Liquors be which evaporate upon the least approach of Air or else their Minute Canals suspend their Liquors as small Glass-Pipes do But it seems most probable That proper Experiments have not yet been made by Ligature or Incisions in Living Animals which might demonstrate the Nervine Lympha and it is impossible at present for us otherwise to explain the Nature of the Spirits than by comparing them to Air or Fire till we can by some lucky Experiment discover the Contents of the Nerves and their particular Qualities I have added Two Appendixes to this Treatise of Animal Humours The First describes the Nature of Fevers and their Ferments and the Second deduces many Diseases from the simple Ebullition Effervescence or Orgasmus of the Blood on which most Inflammations Tumours Pains and Fluxes of Humours depend and without a due respect to that Effervescence none of the mentioned Diseases can be rationally cured In the ensuing Treatise I have endeavoured to explain the Opinion of the Ancients in all their Discourse of Fevers but we are obliged to the Ingenious Car. Piso for giving the first hint of Diseases depending on an Effervescence of the Serum but that wanted a farther Explication because he knew not the Circulation of Humours nor the Use of the Glands nor the true Nature of the Serum of the Blood and that the Effervescence is in the Mass of Blood and the Serum has only a violent Motion given by the Ebullition which forces it to pass those Glands through which the Fluxion is made and that Pains cause Fluxions only by stopping the Circulation of Humours by contracting the Vessels by help of the Convulsed Nerves and that all Tumours happen by the Obstruction or Stagnation of Humours in the Circulating Vessels Books Printed for and Sold by R.

Of Diseases in General and particularly of those of the Solid Parts THE Ancient Doctrine of Hippocrates divided the Parts of an Animal into the Containing and Contained The Containing are the Vessels and the Parts Contained are the Humours amongst which we reckon the Spirits which are also of a Fluid Nature The Anatomy of an Embryo evidently confirms this Doctrine for at its first formation

the Joynts 9. Arthritis Scorbutica 10. All the Inflammations and Vlcers following them cause great Pain Whose Species are 1. Aphthae or Inflammations of the Mouth 2. Angina or Inflammations of the Throat 3. Inflammations of the Vvula and Tonsils and Gums 4. Parotis or Inflammations of the Glands about the Ears 5. The Inflammation of the Stomach or Intestines 6. The Inflammation of the Anus and Haemorrhoids 7. The Inflammation of the Liver or Spleen 8. Nephritis or the Inflammation of the Kidnies 9. Phrenitis or the Inflammation of the Membranes of the Brain 10. Ophthalmia or the Inflammation of the Eyes 11. Peripneumonia the Inflammation of the Lungs 12. Pleuritis the Inflammation of the Pleura and Muscles of the Breast 13. Inflammations of the Breasts 14. Rheumatismus or the Inflammations of the Muscles of the Limbs in general or else of some particular Muscles as those of the Hip in the Ischias or the Back in Lumbago 15. Inflammation of the Stones By the continuance of the Inflammations Imposthumes and Vlcers are bred in all the Parts of the Body the chief of which are 1. Vomiea or an Abcess in the Lungs contained in a Bladder 2. Empyema or a collection of Matter in the Cavity of the Breast 3. Phthisis or an Vlcer in the Lungs 4. Dysenteria or an Vlcer in the Intestines 5. Tenesmus or an Vlcer in the Intestinum rectum 6. Vlcers of the Eyes 7. Vlcers of the Kidneys and Bladder 8. Vlcers of the Anus 9. Vlcers of the Viscera as Liver Spleen 10. Vlcers of the Glands in the Scrophula or Kings-Evil 11. Vlcers of the Mouth and Throat Nose or Ears Gums and Stomach 12. Gonorrhaea or Vlcers of the Prostatae All these Vlcers may conveniently be treated of immediately after the Instammations of their several parts to which each Vlcer must be referred Because the Fever attending Inflammations for the most part though at first it occasions them yet afterwards it depends on the Tumour and Pain I chose to referr them to the Class of Pains rather than to that of Fevers and also because many Inflammations depend on other causes than Fevers but all are attended with great Pain Fourthly The Animal Spirits are some time in an explosive Motion by which they cause Convulsions which depend much on the hottest Flatulency of Humours as 1. Epilepsia is a Convulsion of all the outward Parts with a falling down suddenly 2. Passio Hysterica is a Convulsion of the inward Parts as the Lungs Diaphragma Mesentery Womb and Muscles of the Belly 3. Chorea S ti Viti is a Species of Convulsion observed in the Lameness of Girls before their Puberty with shaking of their Leg and Hand 4. The Convulsions of Children from Pain as in the breeding of Teeth Gripes or Worms 5. The Convulsion from Serous Matter in the Heads of Children or the Metastesis of a Malignant Fever thither 6. The Palpitation of the Heart is a Convulsion of it 7. Singultus is a Convulsion of the Stomach and Diaphragma 8. Coughing is a Convulsive Motion of the Breast 9. Sneezing is a slight Convulsion from Humours irritating the Nose 10. Priapismus is a Convulsion of the Penis which causes Painful Erection of it Fifthly The Animal Spirits have sometimes a violent tumultuous or restless Motion in the Brain by which the Judgment is depraved and the Idaea's confused 1. Mania is a furious Motion of the Animal Spirits with the Passion of Anger and Boldness these Spirits are from a Rancid Cholerick Blood 2. Melancholia is a restless Motion of the Spirits joyned with the Passion of Fear and Sadness from a Vitriolic State of Blood 3. Furor uterinus is a Delirium joyned with an immoderate Appetite of Venery in which case the Spirits as well as the other Humours are tinctured with the Seminal Faetid Lympha Sixthly The Animal Spirits acquire some crude or mixt Flatuosity or become windy as in bottled Liquors or the Spirits of those not fully fermented These Distempers happen in a flatulent Cacochymia 1. Vertigo which is a vertiginous Motion of Spirits 2. Tympanites is a permanent Inflation of the Membranes of the Abdomen by flatulent Spirits 3. Asthma is the Inflation of the Membranes of the Lungs and of the Membranes covering the Muscles of the Thorax but does not continue long 4. Incubus is an Inflation of the Membranes of the Stomach which hinders the Motion of the Diaphragma and Lungs and Pulse and Motion but with a sense of a weight oppressing the Breast 5. A windy Inflation of the Vterus after Child-Bed in many Hysterical Women and those especially who have oft Miscarried are sensible of Wind passing from the Womb. 6. The flatulent Tumours of particular Parts Seventhly The Animal Spirits are unfit for the Motions of Sense or Reasoning or Memory by their depauperated or waterish State or some Indisposition in the Canals of the Nervous Fibers in all Fools which we call Morofis and the low phlegmatic or waterish or tartareous Cacochymia's Each Cacochymia produces Animal Spirits of a peculiar Temper suitable to it so that by observing the Cacochymia we may know the particular ill State of the Spirits and this cannot be cured without altering the other The Spirits are a Secreted Humour and often circulating through the Blood they must partake of its several Cacochymia's and this Observation is most certain qualis chylus talis est sanguis qualis sanguis talis est succus nervosus caeterique omnes humores secretiti CHAP. III. Of the Preparation of Animal Humours by Fermentation FRom the Crude and Watry Juices of Vegetables we prepare all our Wines by Fermentation which dissolves the Slimy Mucilage of the Grapes or other Fruit into a more fluid Consistence it separates the Acid Particles from the more Earthy and volatilizes the oleous Particles and unites them with the Acid for we observe that all fermented liquors whether from Fruits or Corn are composed out of a sweet rarefied and well digested Mucilage and of Acid Oleous Particles which are their pungent Spirits all which being dissolved in a Watry Vehicle the fermented liquors obtain a clear lympid and equal Consistence The Particles which compose our Chyle are very like those mentioned of fermented liquors and by the following Discourse it will be manifest that the Chyle has its preparation by being fermented as other Liquors be Chyle has the same Principles as Milk a viscidity from the Caseous Parts an oyliness from the Butyraceous Parts and an Acidity from the Tartareous which we taste in Butter-milk besides a waterish Serosity in which the other Principles swim and are mixed It is scarce doubted by any of our Modern Physicians that the Chyle is prepared by Fermentation when they consider the nature of the Saliva how much it ferments Animal Humours when any one is Bitten by a Mad Dog or other Venomous Creature and the most familiar use of the Runnet is to ferment our Milk and give a strong foetor to Cheese Besides

over-fermented or digested too much it becomes Bitter Acrid Rancid or Putrid for we often perceive the Meat in the Stomach either Burning or Bitter or Oyly or Stinking and from this State of Chyle are produced these several degrees of the hot Cacochymia in the Blood and other Humours 1. A Bilious Bitter Acrid State of Humours and this is known by the Bitterness in the Stomach and the Abhorrence of bitter things and the continual Heat in the Habit of the Body as well as the Passions of the Mind as Anger Revenge Courage 2. A Viscid State of Blood which produces Pains and Inflammations and is evident upon Bleeding when there is a defect in the Serum or a Viscid Consistence of the Chyle upon the top of the Blood which is called its Siziness 3. The Vitriolic Acidity of the Blood which appears by any black Humour evacuated and by the Affections of Fear and Sadness 4. The Serum of the Blood acquires a Salt Acrimony which corrodes and eats the Gums infects the Skin with Spots and is the Hot Scurvey 5. The Putrefaction of any Humour is the highest resolution or dissolution of its Principles from that State and Mixture which made it the Humour of a particular Animal of which these several Species are very evident 1. Diseases depending on an inward Ferment altered by the ill use of the Six Non-Naturals as Fevers intermitting with the several Symptoms attending them 2. Those Diseases which depend wholly on an outward Ferment received into 1. The Flesh as Hydrophobia by the Bite of a Mad-Dog or the Poyson of any Venomous Animal by its Bite or Sting 2. The Serum by the Infection of the touch of a Salt Humour to which the Morphews Scab Pox and Scald-Head are referrable and Leprosie all which are in some measure Infectious by a Corrosive Humour 3. All Venomous Medicines which corrode and ferment the Humours become Poysonous to the Animal 4. All Malignant Fevers as the Small-Pox Measles and Plague or Pestilential Fevers have their original from the Malignity of the Air and the Poysonous Sulphurs of the Earth 5. Worms and Lice are either produced by an Egg received into the Animal or the Putrefaction of its Humours Thirdly If the Chyle be very plentiful it breeds the following Diseases 1. An over-abundance of Milk in the Breasts of Women 2. A Satyriasis or an abundance of Seminal Lympha's 3. A Fatness or over-growing of the habit of the Muscular Flesh or the great quantity of Fat both which is called an Obesity or too Fat with an abundance of the Chylous Lympha's 4. An undue increase of the Viscera or other Parts whilst the others decay as in the Rickets and the Imposthumations of the Viscera especially the Liver The Rickets are a Species of the Palsie 5. A Plethora of Blood Fourthly If the Chyle or other Nutritious Humours be wanting or deficient these several kinds of Defects are produced 1. A Defect of Milk in the Breasts 2. A Defect of the Semen in Sterility 3. An Atrophy of the Body or any part of it or the Viscera 4. A Defect of the Saliva in Thirst The following Diseases depend on the vitiated Motion of Humours All Obstructions depend on the stoppage of the Motion of the Animal Humours through their Vessels I. The Obstruction of the Chyle-Vessels which produces the Tumours of the Mesentery and its Glands II. The Obstruction of the Blood-Vessels 1. As in the Polypus and suffocating Catarrhs 2. The Reflux of Blood is stopt in Inflammations and Tumours Varices and Haemorrhoids III. The Secretion of Humours through their several Glands is hindred 1. In the Jaundice the Choler is hindred from its Secretion 2. In the Diseases of the Spleen the Separation of the Vitriolic Slimy Humour is stopt and that evacuated into the Stomach 3. The Secretion of the Salt lympha is hindred in the Scrophula and in Catarrhs or else of the Milky lympha's in the cooler kind and in the Tumours of the Breasts 4. The Secretion of Animal Spirits is hindred through the Glands of the Brain In Apoplexies Lethargies or any other sleepy Distempers Fifthly The Motion of the Animal Humours which are excrementitious are suppressed in the following Diseases 1. In an Ischuria which is a Stoppage of Vrine 2. In a want of Stools or Astrictio Alvi 3. In the stoppage of Transpiration or Sweat 4. In a Suppression of the Menses 5. In a Suppression of the Lochia 6. In the long retaining of a Mola 7. In the Suppression of the Haemorrhoids Sixthly The preternatural Evacuation of Nutritious Humours out of the Body are 1. By a continual Vomiting 2. By a Diarrhaea or Looseness 3. By a Diabetes 4. By a Ptyalismus 5. By a Gonorrhaea 6. By the Fluor Albus 7. By too much Sweating 8. By an Abortion 9. By an Epiphora or Flux of Tears 10. Incontinence of Vrin These are the Fluxes which cause Diseases Seventhly The Evacuations of Blood are 1. The Bleeding at Nose 2. Spitting of Blood from the Throat or Lungs 3. The great Flux of the Haemorrhoids 4. The Flux of Blood like the washing of Meat in Fluxu Hepatico 5. Too great a Flux of the Menses 6. The Pissing of Blood 7. The Vomiting of Blood Eighthly The preternatural Evacuation of Serous Humours into the Cavities of the Body are 1. In an Ascites when the Water fills the Cavities of the Belly 2. In the Dropsie of the Breast or Head or Testicles it fills those particular Cavities 3. In an Anasarca it fills the Muscular Habit of the Body These Diseases depend on the vitiated Motion of Animal Spirits and their preternatural Qualities First The Motion of the Animal Spirits is stopt in the Nerves by the Viscidity of their Succus Nervosus 1. In those belonging to half the Body or the whole in Palsies 2. In those belonging to the Heart or Pulse in Fainting or Syncope's 3. In the Nerves of the Eyes in a Gutta Serena 4. In those of the Ears in a Deafness 5. In those of the Tongue and Nose in the loss of their Smell and Taste 6. In those of the Stomach in the want of Appetite 7. In the Nerves of the Generating Organs in Venere languida 8. In those of the Oesophagus in deglutitione impeditá Secondly The Motion of the Animal Spirits into the Senses is continued longer than usual and this Expansion is called Vigiliae or want of Sleep and depends on a hot Flatulency or Elasticity of Spirits Thirdly The Animal Spirits are sometimes irritated and violently agitated in particular Parts by some ungrateful Object and this is called Pain Whose Species are 1. Cephalalgia or Pain of the Head 2. Cardialgia or Pain at the Stomach 3. Colica or Pain in the Stomach or Guts 4. Odontalgia or Pain in the Teeth 5. Otalgia or Pain in the Ear. 6. Stranguria or Pain in the making of Vrin from sharp Humours 7. Calculus or Pain in the Vrin Passages from the Stone 8. Podagra or Pain in
