A41730	De succo pancreatico, or, A physical and anatomical treatise of the nature and office of the pancreatick juice shewing its generation in the body, what diseases arise by its vitiation : from whence in particular, by plain and familiar examples, is accurately demonstrated, the causes and cures of agues, or intermitting feavers, hitherto so difficult and uncertain, with sundry other things of worthy note / written by D. Reg. de Graaf ... ; and translated by Christopher Pack ...; Tractatus anatomico-medicus de succi pancreatici natura & usu. English	Graaf, Reinier de, 1641-1673.; Packe, Christopher, fl. 1670-1711.	1676 (1676)	Wing G1463; ESTC R17762	82,340	198

would be performed with greater success if to the mixture even now described you shall add a drop or two of Oyl of Cloves because as yet we see no medicament that doth more powerfully take away Cold than that Oyle If a great Heat follow the feaverish Cold to attemper that Medicines called Refrigeraters among which aqueous things diluting the Bile seems to us most agreeable but especially Acids with which the acrimony and volatillity of the saline Bile exceeding producing Heat and burning is best infringed For as Doctor Minrotus saith pag. 36. in his Treatise of Malignant Feavers Acids do repress the inflamabillity of a Sulphurous Matter without the Body so also within the Body they bridle the inflaming Bile So Hippocrates De Victu Acutor Text. 29. 9. manifestly Teacheth that Acids do infringe and mitigate the Bile And this is the Reason why the most skilfullest Physitians do daily prescribe Acid Julips for the temperating of that feverish Heat as for Example by the Decoction of Barley or coolling distilled Waters with Syrup of Limmons Mulberies or Barberies c. By adding Spirit of Vitriol Oyl of Sulpher per Capanum or other Acid Spirits in a sufficient quantity to give it a grateful Acidity For the same end they also sometimes prescribe Apozems of the opening Roots the Herb Sorrel Lettice the greater Housleek Tamarinds c. by adding after the boyling some Acid Syrrups and an acid Spirit sufficient for a grateful Acidity that the sick may now and then take a small Draught thereof to temperate the Heat If a great Thirst afflict the Feaverish at the time of Heat half a Dram of Lap. Prunella may be conveniently dissolved in the aforesaid Apozeme or in small Ale or in a convenient Julip for it excellently extinguisheth Thirst and therefore those to whom Drink is hurtful may dissolve the same Medicament in Water but in a greater quantity to wash the Mouth Here it is well to be noted that at the time of the Heat it is not necessary that the Sick should abstain from moderate Drinking which at the time of Cold is altogether required because we daily see that if Drink be assumed at the time of the Cold fit that it is augmented and the Sick more troubled If the Medicaments even now mentioned for Example do not take away the Feaver in the Intervals wherein they are not vexed with the Feaver this following mixture will much avail R. Fennel Water three Ounces Simple Treacle Water six Drams distilled Vinegar three Drams Crabs Eyes prepared half a Dram Syrup of the five opening Roots half an Ounce mixt Of which most simple mixture let one spoonful be taken every two houres for altering Medicines do operate far better if they be taken by Intervals then if they be taken abundantly together and at once If vehement Paines and Watchings do accompany the Feaver Mixtures are to be used in the Intervals to which is added one Grain of Laudanum Opiatum which Medicament we do believe hath also a force of temperating the accimony of the Humours because we see that Paines arising from the Acrimony of Humours remain not after Sleep procured by the prudent assumption of Laudanum Opiat which in our Opinion could not happen if that Laudanum had not a force of temperating sharp Humours If a pain of the Head accompany the Feaver in stead of fennel water that of bettony or burrage may be substituted and in place of the Syrup of the five Roots Syrup of Diacodium or white Poppies But if the Stomach be evilly affected Water of Mint or of Carduus Benedictus will be used with better success If the menses flow not Water of Peniroyal Syrup of Mugwort c. may be exhibited If a suffocation of the Womb be present in stead of those may be added Spirit of Sal Ammoniack Tinct of Castor c. if the Sick be tormented with flatulencies Spirit of Nitre may be added which remedy doth greatly help those which are troubled with a collick Passion or any other flatulent Diseases especially if some Drops thereof be prudently mixed with some Arromatick Waters and the aforesaid Carminatives If the Appetite be prostrate by Reason of too great a quantity of Bile carried to the Stomach which will be known by the Appetite suddenly Destroyed by bitter Belchings and Cholerick Vomitings two Scruples of Elixir Proprietatis Paracelsi may be added to the last mixture But if the said evil proceedeth from a vicid pituity detained in the Stomach which will be known by an aggravated pain in the Stomach half a Dram of the dulcid Spirit of Salt instead of Elixir Proprietatis will be more Conducent if it be mixed with the foresaid mixture To the same intent may be directed also divers Apozemes and other medicate Wines Powders Pills and medicaments against the said Obstructions Nevertheless you must diligently diligently Note that Apozemes and other Medicaments especially refrigerating which promiscuously they daily compel the Sick to swallow down in a great Dose sometimes so debillitate their Stomacks that the Appetite is thereby not only Destroyed but sometimes fall into a disdain or Loathing of Aliments from whence a new Affliction is added to the Sick and the latter Errour is allso very often worse than the first But if notwithstanding before the Physician hath attained his desired end he thinketh some other Humour doth offend by too much plenty that may be diminished with convenient medicines The Diet according to the diversity of intermitting Feavers must sometimes be changed because Tertian Feavers accompanied with the greatest Heat do require a Diet more Cooling than Quartans which very often afflict the Sick with intollerable Cold and Trembling For we see the moderate use of French Wine which we are wont to forbid in all Tertians somtimes to be granted in Quartans But such a Diet as may be agreeable to all intermitting Feavers every one may gather from what we have already spoken We would have further propounded some other Remedies as well accomodated to intermitting Feavers as to their Symptomes had not the most Famous Doctor Sylvius in the first Part of his Praxis already Printed proposed many and the most excellent of them From my Study Feb. 2d 167 5 6. at the Signe of the Globe and Chymical Furnaces in the Postern near Moor-Gate London FINIS POST-SCRIPT I Have taken notice of many People especially of the Poorer sort who are afflicted with tedious Agues and many more who labour under those Deplorable Fits commonly called the Fits of the Mother and Spleen as also the Falling Sickness Grievous Convulsions c. And being well satisfied as well by the means of Curation as the undenyable Experiments and valid Reasons in this Book confirming the same that those Diseases with many more derive their Original from the Vitious Alteration of this Juyce of the Sweet-Bread I for the sake of poor People that they might have help at an easie Rate hereby let them know that amongst many other I have

they call Stuypiens doth proceed from the said more Acid Pancreatick Juyce who hath accurately attended to those Invasions and the Symptomes accompanying them and the way of Cure For besides that Acidity which doth very often breath through the Mouth they suffer the Gripings of the Belly the Milk may likewise be perceived to be concreted both upwards and downwards the Excrements of the belly are more Green and give forth a sharp Odour they are also cured by the tempering of Acidity as for Example with Aqua Feniculi Aqua Lilliorū Conuallium Spir. Salis Armoniaci c. The same more Acid Pancratick Juyce carryed to the blood through the Lactean Veines will give it a greater Consistency whence the Blood less Rarifying will produce a lesser Pulse From which Vice highly exceeding we judge a Syncope sometimes to be produced which is not a little confirmed by that Example which Lazarus Riverius relates in Lib. VIII Fol. 358. of his Practice concerning that Syncope which P. Salius as he reports Lib. De Afect Practic Cap. IV. observed in a Girle of 14 Years of Age Who after a dayes suffering of Heaviness of the Head Vertigo and grievous Anxieties the day following suddainly dyed Afterwards her Body being diffected the whole blood in the great Artery and the Vena Cava appeared to be Concreted and so changed that it might intirely be drawn out from the Vein and Artery even as a Sword out of its Scabbard Concerning which thing if any doubt either by ours or others Examples let him take an acid Liquor and pour it by degrees into the Vein of any Living Dog and he shall not only observe the Blood therein to be so Coagulated and Concreted that the greater bloody Vessels may be transversly cut without the Effusion of the blood but also when the acid Liquor shall come in a notable Quantity to the right Ventricle of the Heart that it will presently extinguish and kill the Dog Also no man will deny that Convulsions for the most part proceed from an Internal Cause from the Acrimony of Humours irritating the Nerves and causing by a greater Influx of the animal Spirits into the Muscles Involuntary and also Violent Motions But when there is a two fold Acrimony of Humours viz. Acid and Salt some perhaps may doubt which of these do most frequently produce those Convulsive Motions But for as much as we can observe they rather proceed from an acid Acrimony than a Salt because we see that Aromatick Medicaments and those abounding with a Volatile Salt do very much conduce to their Cure which would never come to pass if they drew their Original from a Saline Acrimony Besides they are accompanyed with such Symptomes which are wont to be the Concomitants of Diseases arising from an acid Acrimony Yea the Effects of Acids are allowed to be far more powerful as is to be seen in Helmont De Lithiasi Cap. 9. Pag. 725. § 71. where he relates that he saw a Chymist which after he had been much Conversant about making of Aqua Regia he fell into the Palpitation of the Heart Convulsions and many other Incredible Dolours by reason of the acid Exhalations which mingled themselves with his Blood From the same Acidity we stedfastly believe That the Strangury is very often produced seeing that together with other Students we have sometimes found the Urines of such as have laboured under the Strangury in the Hospital of Leyden to be Acid and also seen the same Persons cured with such Medicines as temper Acidity The which if you are minded to try saith Helmont De Pleura Furente § 14. Whether or no the Strangury may not proceed from Acidity mix some Drops at least of sharp Wine with the Vrine lately sent forth without pain and inject it again by a Syringe and you shall find to your Pain that what I say is true Also that from the more acid Pancreatick Juyce Ulcers do sometimes break forth in the Skin corroding the same as also producing very great paines they will not deny who following the Opinions of the Antients determine them to arise from the Atra-Bilis seeing that the Atra-Bilis of the Antients as we have above Demonstrated hath its Original from the more acid Pancreatick Juyce We are like-wise plainly perswaded that the more acid Pancreatick Juyce especially if it hath any Austerity conjoyned with it produceth a greater astringency of the Belly For if the Bile by its Acrimony irritating the Guts as is granted may excite the Flux of the Belly why may not that which is contrary to such a Bile produce a contrary Effect Notwithstanding if the belly be bound by a Viscid Matter then we think likewise that a Flux may happen from the sharper Pancreatick Juyce as it hath a power of inciding and attenuating the Viscid Pituity From which it is manifest that the Pancreatick Juyce according to the Diversity of Humours concurring with it doth very often produce a diverse and contrary Effect which thing we would have well noted lest we should seem to contradict our self in explicating the Effects of this juyce As yet we think even as we seem to have already said that the Atra and Eruginous Bile is excited from the more acid Pancreatick Juyce and a certain sharp Bile concurring and consequently all Diseases which Authors deduce from them and therefore they are not cured by other Medicaments than those which are fit to correct the more acid Pancreatick Juyce Which as it is Consonant with Reason so it will not appear Incredible to those who will consider the things above spoken by us with a more attentive Mind But perhaps some will say after what manner doth the Pancreatick Juyce produce the Atra-Bilis seeing that we have ascribed the Whitishness of the Chyle after the Effervescency in the thin Gut to the acidity of the Pancreatick Juyce To which we answer That Acids according to the Diversity of the matter where-with they are mixed do also produce a divers Colour for example pour an acid Spirit to common Sulphur dissolved in a Lixivium and its red Colour will be changed into white Antimony Calcind with Nitre or Chalk being boyl'd in Fountain-Water and any acid thing being affused to its clear Colature will presently acquire a Saffron Colour A clear Infusion of Galls mixed with the Solution of Vitriol maketh Ink to which if you add the acid Spirit of Vitriol that Ink will lose all its blackness and become clear like to fountain-Fountain-Water The Blew Tincture of Violets being mixed with Oyle of Vitriol will wax into a Purple The Wood Acanthus brought from Brasile being infused in Common Water doth freely yeild a red Tincture which put to Distilled Vinegar acquires a Colour like to White-Wine A Knife after it hath cut a Pomecitron in the Middle unless it be wiped and cleansed from the Soure Juyce of the Citron in a short time will be reduced to a nigrous Colour And why from the same acidity too much exalted
