I like this method very well let me see how you will proceed in the cure of diseases proceeding of slegme which we will comprehend vnder a quotidian Feuer let mee know your method for the cure of a quotidian Feuer Generall remedies for diseases proceeding from flegme vnder the example of a quotidian Feuer Stud. EVery Feuer that repeatith it selfe euery day may not be termed a quotidian for duplex tertiana and triplex quartana doth returne daily but the tertian with rigor and exceeding cold the quartan with horror shaking and shiuering and the quotidian with cold of the extreame parts The quotidian doth not end in 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 neither doth the fitte of the quotidian end with sweate as that of the tertain because that slegme is hardly resolued into sweats but choler is very easily and quickly also the accesse of the quotidian is wont to bee longer then that of the tertian The cause and kind of the Feuer is chiesly to be iudged from things antecedent as if the sicke were giuen to gluttony of a slegmatick constitution such a one that hath lead an idle life whether it taketh him in the winter or whether he liueth in a cold and moyste ayre or if he be a child or an old man if it be a woman or a fat man for children through much feeding old men women and fat men through the defect of nature doe gather much flegme Also the Feuer is to be adiudged from the adiuncts as if the Ab adiunctis A consequentibus heate bee felt with moysture although through putrifaction it bee some what sharpe also from the consequence as the hurt action if the pulse bee small flegme oppressing the heat both in quātitie and qualitie The Feuer is also to be adiudged by its excrements as if the vrin bee thin for so it hapneth through obstructiō because the thin matter doth onely passe away also if it bee white through rawnes and cruditie or at the length turbusēt through the permixture of some grosse humor The stools are also to be cōsidered whether they be liquid crude and fleg matick no thirst because the stomack abounding in flegme doth represse heate and dirthe which are the causes of thirst vnles it happē the slegme to be salt with putrifaction or admixion of choler And as the cure doth proceed from Art so we must be careful to distinguish the Spocies of the flegme from the effects as if it bee sharpe it prouoketh hunger if it be salt thirst if it be sweet drowsimes quia acida coquenda salsa mox vacuanda dulcis naturae committenda Therefore when we perceiue that the Feuer doth proceed from the dominatiō of flog me the first intention for the cure is to prepare a clyster fit to draw the same from the stomach intestins the forme whereof is in this order Rec.
