The first part written by a country practitioner in a letter to one of the town, and by him prefaced and published for cure of John Brown, one of His late Majesties ordinary chyrurgeons, containing an account of that vain plagiary and remarks on his several writings : wherein his many thefts, contradictions, absurdities gross errors, ignorance, and mistakes are displayed and divers vulgar errors in cyrurgery and anatomy refuted / by James Young.

the heart of a person that survived it Matth. Glandorp Spec. Chirurg cap. 33. relates that Rabbits lived many months after they were run through the heart Page 254 261. Sken●kius saith the like of a Stagg and of one in whose heart a piece of an Arrow was found that had long stuck there that a Boy was cured cui os pectoris excisum cor aliquandiu nudum apparuit nam involucrum ejus computruerit the History page 254. which he calls a wound of the Tunicle of the heart was undoubtedly as his Author first thought of the heart it self Page 256.

Tillesius rer nat ubi supra my Lord Bacon Mr. Boyle vide Bart holin † Lib. 2. cap. 6. Anat.

Page 281. He defines with most of the Ancients an Aneurisma to be a breach of the inner coat of an Artery the blood distending the outer which I know hath been the common Opinion but the absurdity thereof you will find well discovered by Van Horn Microtecne sect 1. paragr 15. page 215. Wiseman lib. 1. cap. 16. Pareus calls it the Rupture of an Artery the Blood extravasating among the Muscles and he himself varieth from his definition in the Histories he gives page 380. of his Book of Tumors where he hath a particular Chapter of this Disease which is of an Aneurism from a wound and saith in that Chapter that the common cause is puncturing an Artery But to be short in this Topick because in all the rest I shall have occasion to evince abundance of his Errours take those brief Instances which I shall but name page 23 29 44 45 273 and many other places he makes the heart the fountain of motion page 309. he calls the stomach a cold Intral and in reckoning the coats omits the crusta * See willis Pharm Rat. part 1. cap. 2. sect 1. villosa page 287. 297. he affirms the meseraick Veins convey the Aliment to the gate of the Liver and suck up the nourishment from the small guts page 227. he reckons the ascent and descent of the Cava from the Liver page 194. he suggests that the Heart and Liver are not only the Original of the Veins and Arteries but the Oceans from whence they fetch both their vital and natural blood and spirits page 179. that the Brain is made of sperm and maternal blood that it 's of a cold and moist temper page 198. the chief seat of cold and glutinous moisture that the Nerves are cold in nature and cold in substance Thus as I have said by his Ignorance in the improvement of our Art and injudicious sucking the fallible Principles and Opinions of the Ancients men to whom we are infinitely indebted and from whom it 's no detraction to say they knew not as much as is now known he runs himself into many gross errours and mistakes chiefly in Anatomy Prognosticks and Dogma's of which I shall superadd a few instances more and conclude this Head Page 316. He pronounceth Wounds of the Kidneys in general Mortal and inevitably so if the Pelvis be hurt though Pareus relates the story of an Archer condemned to be hanged and upon Solicitation by some great men who had been troubled with the Stone he submitted to have those Parts opened survived the operation was cured and pardoned We have also a Tradition that our Famous Harvey cut out a Stone from a mans Kidney But his old Friend and constant supplier Schenkius tells him Page 451.

He delivers that Wounds penetrating the Breast are known by Wind coming through the Orifice Which is a fallible Diagnostick especially when the Wound is made by a small Rapier and the Body deflexed when it s received so that upon returning to a right posture the parts alter and cover one another in discoursing concerning Wounds of the Gullet he commits many mistakes Page 244 he saith that Pipe marcheth on the right side of the Spondyls that Deglutition is helped by the Muscles of the Larinx * Willis Pharm Rat. part 1. cap. 2. attributes nothing thereof to the Gullet whose Anatomy he doth not understand and accounts the Muscles of the Phariax among those of the Larinx He directs to Nutritive Glisters Page 246.

He maketh Tumors to result from afflux of matter only that in dead bodies we meet no such Tumors because in them a Fluxion ceaseth Thus ignorant is he that inflation fermentation restitution of spungy body's when the parts compressing them are loosened by corruption or other cause will make a Tumor without an afflux of matter as appears by the instance he gives to the contrary viz. That of dead bodies which often times swell nay I have known an emaciat Corps bloat in 24 hours at a prodigious rate Page 198. He calls the Testicles the mansion of a Gonorrhea by which he not only contradicts what he said in the same Chapter viz. That the prostatae are the feat thereof but discovers his wretched Ignorance of an hernia Humoralis for he saith to prove his assertion that the Tumor following a sudden stoping of Gonorrhea is of the stones where as it s of the coats and adjacent vessels distended by the matter of a Gonorrhea which begets this Tumor and that spewed out of the Arteries for that desease seems to me I speak with submission to be a critical separation and rejection of the bloud and other liquors tainted with the venerea● Lues insinuated in Coitù and thrown out a●● the place where it s received thus I have sometimes seen that matter which usually issues through the Urethra glees from between the Glans and preputium though no solution of unity were there to give it way but as it was insinuate● per poros cutis so it s in part extruded The Gonorrhea in women page 199● he affirms to proceed from their testicles which is a most egregious error an● inexcusable in a man who hath seen ne● Authors of Anatomy all which agree that their testicles are Ovary's that i● coitù one of those Eggs is tumbled into th● womb but no moysture by this I perceiv● he is not so well acquainted with de Grae● as he pretends page 131. he saith non● of the Chyle is sent out of Guts into the pancreas but sent thence int● the Guts 140. the peristaltick motio● of the Guts drives the nourishmen● from the pylorus to the ductus pancreaticus which is but four fingers breadt● below it 168. in the kidneys the serum mixeth it self with the bloud 122. th● cure of the Scrophula is for the mos● part by Topicks Page 17.
