tertian have great analogy with those of an exquisite causus only they are more milde the not exquisite are distinguisht by rigour not by reason of the Feaver but the expulsive faculty of the greater Veines which empty themselves into the less and these into the habit and sensible parts this Feaver because its morbifical matter is more distant from the heart then that of a Causus doth not with equal force and assiduity afflict it but hath its exacerbations and remissions every other day If the parts about the heart be distended without paine they signifie an inflammation if with paine at the beginning death If the signes bee grievous it kills the fourth or seventh day if good security is promised the same dayes if a rigour happen on the critical day the Patient being weak it is death but if strong the Disease shall end with sweat CHAP.

XIII Of a continual Quotidian Feaver {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} and {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} the Juniors call it because it hath no intermission and to distinguish it from {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} which is an intermitting quotidian This Feaver differs from an intermitting both in matter and seat where the flegme putrefies because a continual one proceeds from Natural flegme contained in the great Veines which is nothing else but crude bloud which in time may be changed into good bloud being of taste sweet or insipid arising from the cold and moyst part of the chyle and as oft as this bloud is putrefied by a preter-natural heat in those Veines the other humours incorrupt is caused a continual quotidian but an intermitting is caused from excrementitious flegme putrefied by a preter-natural heat out of those great Veines viz. in the veines of the habit of the body in the Liver Spleen Messentery The external causes may be taken from the aire cloudy cold and moyst from a flegmatick nature the winter season drunkenness ill diet as entrals of Beasts c. The internal causes are a cold distemper of the stomach and of the meseraick veines which send the chyle incoct to the Liver old age cold humours falling from the head to the stomach This Feaver begins not with coldness as an intermitting because the matter is putrefied in the great Veines but with vaunings and stretchings for the most part it invades at night the heat is less acrid and mordent than in a continual cholerick Feaver because the humour is colder the urine at first is white crude and crass the pulse slow and rare being oppressed with a crass vapour raised from the flegme the sick are sleepy their Hypochondria stretcht with wind their stooles white their sweat none or very little and clammy this Feaver is usually lasting being from a cold tough humour often brings to a Cachexy or Dropsie if the beginning be long so will be the increment and whole progress of the Disease for the Cure let him use a good diet shunning those things which ingender crasse juyces then purge the first region of his body with these following remedies Take of Barley Mercury Violets and Mallows each a handful Fennel and Carret-seeds each three drams the tops of Dill and flowers of Cammomel each half a handful boyl them in water to a pint streine it and dissolve of Galens Hiera and Benedicta Laxativa each six drams honey of Rosemary and oyle of Camomel each an ounce and half and so give it If the Sick bee apt to Vomit let him take this Of the juyce of Radish roots and honied water each two ounces powder of Asarum a dram let him drink it warme Take of Succory Barley and all

XX Of Feavers annexed to Quartans THe Quintan Sextan Septan and Nonan Feavers differ not from intermitting Quartans either in matter or cure but in the quantity of the humour and disposition of the body rather than from the rising setting and congression of some Starres as the Astrologers would have it all these Feavers have their name from the motion they observe returning upon the fifth sixth seventh or ninth day The cause of these circuits depends not only on disordered diet or the relicks of the morbifical matter not emptied nor on the quantity quality or crasness and clamminess of the humour nor on the influx of the Starrs or disposition of the body but rather from the starry Element which Hippocrates calls something Divine when a quartan is caused from very crasse and tough flegme and a melancholly humour very crass it may then bee extended beyond the fourth day saith Paulus Aegi and Rhasis speakes of those returned every tenth day and once a moneth that the quantity and quality of both humours and disposition of body doe contribute somewhat none will deny but the cause of the Circuits Histories doe report to be referred to the element of Stars Pliny speaks of Antipater the Poet who lived very long and every year on his Birth-day had a Feaver Galen saies he hath seen Quintans but obscurely but Avicen boasts hee hath seen many but they are rarely contingent Hippocrates presages thus of these Feavers the Nocturnal is not dangerous but long the Diurnal is shorter and sometimes they bring to a Consumption the reason is because the night is likened to Winter at which time cold humours move and because in the night season remedies cannot conveniently be administred a Quintan is the worst of all for to the sound or tabid it is death because it is vehement proceeding from an atra-bilarious humour and not from a melancholly juyce a Septan is long but not lethal and so a Nonan The Cure differs not from that of an exquisite or spurious quartan Take of the leaves of Sena three drams the rootes of true black Hellebore one dram of Anise-seed Dodder of Time Diagridium each half a dram Mastick and salt Gemmeous each a scruple Cloves half a scruple make a fine Powder give a dram in a little White-wine on the fit day in the morn early once a week CHAP. XXI Of confused compounded and erratick Feavers ALL these are of the kinde of essential Feavers and differ not from the precedent neither in matter nor putrefaction for they are all putrid but in the seat and motion of the morbifical humour A confused Feaver is so called from the seat when humours doe equally putrefie in the greater or lesser veines as if choller and flegme doe putrefie together in the greater veines there shall be two continual Feavers because these two humours mixt doe putrefie in the same place beginning and ending together and by reason of this mixtion they cannot be known distinctly or apart because their signes are confounded from whence this Feaver hath its name likewise if both those humours putrefie in the lesser veines which are in the habit of the body or in the Stomach Liver Mesentery Spleen or Cuts together in the same place there shall be two intermitting Feavers which mixed doe constitute a confuse and not a compound Feaver On the contrary A compound Feaver is as oft as the humours doe inequally putrefie not in one place as the confused but in divers places together whether in the greater or lesser veines and this Feaver hath its name from the predominant humour as in a bastard Tertian where choller predominates likewise if there be more flegme or melancholly humour it shall then be called a bastard quotidian or quartan which Feavers are com-Pound and not confused because their matter putrefies in divers places and they begin and end at divers hours because every one hath its several essence seat and motion also two quotidians and a double tertian and a double or triple quartan are Compound Feavers as often as their matter putrefies in divers places and thus a semi-tertian which is compounded of choller putrefied in the greater veines from whence is a continual and flegme out of them whence is an intermitting Feaver or of flegme putrefied in the greater Veines and choller out of them and is called a Hemitritaean thus also a Hectick Feaver with a putrid doe make a Compound Feaver because the efficient cause of a

{non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} that is a salt or salsuginous Feaver is of the nature of Quotidians so called because it is caused by salt flegme as a Winterburning Feaver is according to Hippocrates but according to Galens explication of that place it is so called in relation to touch and not unto taste because like Salt it causes an itching mordency both in the body of the sick and the hand of the Phisitian touching it which is thus when fuliginous and very adust excrements are cast forth through the habit of the body and skin it is distinguisht from other Feavers by its horrour thirst and salt taste by urine and pulse and continuance of the fit saith Hippocrates by reason of its heat from putrefaction or the mixture of some serous humour which is salt rather than of choller which is bitter and not salt as Avicen thought It is cured by the same remedies as an intermitting quotidian tempering them with Succory Hops Fumitory the four great cold seeds c. with incisive attenuating and detersive things as sirrup De Bisantiis and compound Oxysaccharum we are not to expect concoction for purging the morbifical humour which is so crasse and tough that it will be a long time first purge therefore in the augment and state but gently premising to every Purge its preparative your Catarrhall Feaver is of the kinde of quotidians and is cured almost with the same medicines CHAP. XIX Of an intermitting Quartan {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} or a Quartan Feaver is so called because it returnes every fourth day it is two-fold exquisite or spurious an exquisite intermitting differs from a continual both in matter and seat because this is from a Natural melancholly putrefied in the greater Veines and that from an excrementitious melancholly cold and dry putrefying chiefly in the Spleen then in the Liver mesentery and habit of the body a spurious one is as often as excrementitious melancholly putrefies with choller or flegme in the same place and sometimes choller and flegme putrefie apart and degenerate into a quartan The chief signes are a rigour at the beginning and augment and horrour with a shaking of the whole body as if the flesh and bones were broken the urine at first white thin crude and various afterwards crasse and black This Feaver is the longest of all intermitting Feavers the Falling-sickness is cured by a quartan if neglected it causes a schirrus of the Spleen and Dropsie if it degenerate into a double or triple quartan it is bad but if into a continual it is lethal The sum of the Cure consists in gentle Medicines whether Glisters or Purges often repeated and by degrees ascend to stronger for he that acts otherwise from a simple or double quartan makes a triple or continual one whence is death this is confirmed by Galens story who contrary to the opinion of the Phisitians of his time in the midst of winter cured Eudemus the Philosopher of a triple quartan by the use of Treacle by which Medicine preposterously used be fell into it for as long as signes of crudity appear wee are not to use Diureticks nor Sudorificks lest by that meanes the corrupt humour be forced into narrower passages from whence it is not easily removed but grows more furious such excretions then are not to be used but in the declination If the quartan be from choller adust then to the following remedies adde things cooling but if from flegme then things incisive attenuating and detersive If the Feaver be exquisite the melancholly humour diffused through the whole body vinegar and its sirrups are naught but if it be contained in the spleen only it is good Take of Mallows Violet leaves Burrage Fumitory Hops each a handful Prunes twelve Endive seeds half an ounce of the four great cold Seeds each two drams Violet and Elder flowers each a small handful boyle them in water to a pinte in the colature dissolve of Cassia with sugar and Diaprune simple each six drams hony of Violets and oyle of Lillies each an ounce and half give it Take of the pulpe of Cassia six drams powder of Sena a dram of Aniseed a scruple of Cloves two grains with sugar make a bole Take of Polipody of the Oke bruised six drams

leaves two drams Aniseed a dram whole Cloves two express it and infuse of Catholicum and Diacarthamum each three drams againe express it and dissolve sirrup of Fumitory or Epithimum an ounce give this potion four hours before in broth upon the fit day rather than on the other because the matter being terrene and sluggish will hardly yeeld but on the fit day the humour being in motion it is then most easily expelled I speak by experience contrary to the common opinion Take of pills of Fumitory a dram powder of Sena and Agarick Trochiscate each half a scruple with sirrup of Fumitory make pills If Nature tend upwards give of Antimony prepared and powdered three graines Conserve of Violets three ounces with Sugar make a bole to bee taken on the fit day or infuse six graines of it in White-wine all night over warme embers straine it and give it before the horrour Amatus Lucitanus boasts hee hath cured many with a draft of rose-Rose-water warmed and given at the insult of the fit and some with happy success give at the insult five or six graines of Pepper in a cup of generous Wine if the Patient be young with full veines and it be spring time let bloud of the axillary veine in the left arme Take of the rootes of sharp Dock two ounces Butchers Broome Asparagus Grass and Liquorice each an ounce the middle rine of Ash and Elder each half an ounce Succory Endive Hops Fumitory

boyle them in two quarts of water till a third part be consumed clarifie it with sirrup of Pomgranates and Endive compound each two ounces and aromatize it with yellow saunders Take of Succory roots an ounce and half Grass Butchers Broom Asparagus each an ounce infuse them in simple Oxymel all night over warme embers and then boyle them in two quarts of water with Burrage Endive Hops Fumitory Origanum Calamint Agrimony each a handful Mercury and Maiden-hair each half a handful Liquorice scraped and bruised half an ounce Raisins stoned twenty Figgs eight seeds of Purssane Arise Dodder of Vetches and the four great cold ones each two drams flower of Tamarisk Broome and Violets each a handful being taken off the fire adde the Oxymel wherein the rootes were infused

Other Compound Feavers being caused from putrid matter are cured by the same method and the same remedies as bastard intermittings are the confused Feavers if from putrid matter in the greater Veines are cured as continual Feavers if not as intermittings the Erratick as bastard intermittings quotidian tertian or quartan CHAP. XXIII Of a Hectick Feaver {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} that is a Hectick is taken for every Feaver that is hard to be removed whether it be from flegme or melancholly and is opposed to the Schetick Feaver which is easily removed it hath its name from {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} which is a habit because it is stable and permanent For a Hectick Feaver is a preternatural heat kindled in the solid parts which first occupies the substance of the heart and then diffuses it self into the rest of the solid parts of the body through the Veines and Arteries This Feaver is continual and hath but one fit from the beginning to the end without any intermission or remission unless it be joyned with a putrid Feaver every Hectick is Smple or Compound that is either universal or particular the universal is that which first seazes on the substance of the heart then on the other parts and this is seldome a particular one is that which first invades the substance of some private part and at last the heart and this is frequent as of the Lungs in a Ptissick of the Midriffe Liver c. A Compound one is that which hath a putrid Feaver joyned with it a Simple Feaver is further divided into three degrees the first is when the body of the heart and the other solid parts are newly inflamed and this degree lasts as long as the substantifical and radical moysture doth conglutinate the terrene parts and is sufficient to nourish and foment the fiery heat as Oyle doth the flame of the Cotton in a Lamp and this is hard to be known but easie to be cured The third and worst sort is called {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} because it hath adjoyned a hot and dry Consumption and is then when the humour is wholly wasted and all the solid parts are as it were burnt and turned into ashes as the Cotton of the Lamp is for want of the affusion of more Oyle for thus the substantifical moysture being quite spent the native heat is extinguished and cannot bee restaurated by Euchymous aliments and this degree as it cannot be hid so it cannot bee cured The second degree is of a middle nature between them and how much the nigher or further to the first or last is by so much the easier or harder to cure they all differ only gradually The causes external are from the Six Non-natural things as the hot Air long Hunger Watchings suppression of Excrements c. the internal are from a bilious temperament a continual Feaver ill cured as a causus and continual tertian and not from a quotidian or intermitting tertian from a Prisick lientery or such Diseases in which the nourishment being incoct or ill concoct doth not humectate the solid parts which being destitute of their aliment and conceiving a more acrid and feaverish heat grow hot and dried The first degree may be known by the preter-natural heat if at first touch of the Artery it be acrid and mordent if after drink or meat a heat presently flushes in the face from the sublation of vapours this heat is at first so gentle that the Sick deny themselves to be feaverish for things done by degrees cause no paine saith Hippocrates as Plants at their first sprouting are easily pulled up but are hardly known unless by the skilful Herbarist so this degree is easily cured but hardly discovered unless by the learned Phisician The signes of the second kinde are not only from the mordent heat of the pulse being felt but in the soles of the feet and palmes of the hand besides the pulse is harder and dryer than in the former because the feaverish heat works not only on the rorid substance of the heart but on its primogenious humidity whence nourishment failing the Sick necessarily falls away the urine is higher coloured by reason of the intense heat depopulating not only the heart but habit of the whole body but less high than if a putrid were joyned with it this degree hath a great latitude and so is accordingly known or cured Signes of the last degree are a weak pulse small and frequent and hard from driness the urine hath some fatty substance swimming in it like to Cobwebs which denotes a quolliquation of the similar parts the eyes are hollow their humours being wasted the temples fallen the substantifical humour of the muscles being consumed the forehead dryed the nayls crookt the eye-lids scarce moveable the Hypochondria distended the skin hard and dry cleaving to the bones the fleshy substance being wasted A Hectick seldome possesses Children often young cholerick bodies and old men that are of a hot and dry temper and those that are long necked and narrow breasted c. those that have a Hippocratical face are past cure and such as have a looseness The cure of the first degree differs little from that of a Diary for it proceeds from the same manifest causes but more vehement which are inherent in the habit of the body and therefore requires stronger remedies let the diet bee euchymous liquid cold and moyst and incrassating to hinder dissipation as Broths altered with Lettice Purslane Marigolds Violets Burrage Wood-sorrel Spinage c. let the drink be ptissan or water boyled with sitrup of Maiden-hair or the Alexandrine Julep with a little Vinegar if it proceed from an Ephemera old age may be allowed a little small Wine at meals Take of the leaves of Mallows Violets Burrage Lettice each a handful Prunes twelve the four great cold Seeds each three drams Water-Lilly-flowers and Violets each a small handful boyle them in water and in a pint of the colature dissolve of simple Diaprunes and Cassia with sugar each six drams honey of Violets and oyle of Water-Lillies each an ounce and half make a Glister if you would have it nourishing too then boyle them in

XIIII Of a continual Quartan {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} {non-Roman} that is a quartan Feaver so called because every fourth day it is exasperated and remitted if it be continual but if intermitting recurs every fourth day these two differ both in matter and seat the matter of a continual quartan is Natural melancholly putrefied in the great Veines the other humours remaining good but the matter of an intermitting is excrementitious melancholly putrefied out of the great Veines in the Spleen or mesentery A continual quartan is two-fold exquisite or spurious exquisite when Natural melancholly putrefies alone spurious when other humours putrefie with it in the great vessels and this is most frequent The causes are either from a laborious life a cold and dry temperament a declining age the autumn or an unequal air and meats producing melancholly as Swines flesh Hares Salt Fish Oysters c. The chief signes are taken from the substance of the Feaver or nature of its heat from the actions hurt which appears by the inequality swiftness slowness or rarity of the pulse from the excrements and urine this Feaver begins without horrour because the peccant matter is contained within the great Veines the urine is various but for the most part crude by reason of the coldness of the morbifical humour little or no sweat by reason of the paucity of the matter little thirst and the tongue inclining to black A continual quartan whether exquisite or spurious is deadly in old men especially if it follow an intermitting one or a burning Feaver illcured a spurious quartan if it take in the Summer is for the most part short but if in the Autumn it is long for the Cure first use meats of good juyce rather liquid than solid altered with Burrage Bugloss c. Vse Currans Pine Nuts Figgs Vinegar though it be incifive is not good in this Feaver because by its coldness and driness it conduplicates the humor but were it in the Spleen it were commodious At the beginning use gentle Purgers because by the strength of strong Medicines the humour grows thicker and the thinner part being dissipated the terrene faeces remaine indissoluble but in the declination use stronger if the body be bound give first this Glister Take of Mallows Violets Orech Burrage Bugloss each a handful Flax and Fenugreek-seed each half an ounce of the four great cold seeds and Fennel-seed each two drams for melancholly people are windy of the tops of Dill Camomel Melilot Elder each a small handful in the colature dissolve of Catholicum and Diasena each six drams honey of Violets and oyle of Lillies each an ounce and half give the Glister Take of Polipody of the Oke six drams wilde Saffron seeds and Sena each three drams Dodder of time two drams Anni-seeds four scruples Cloves two boyle them in Whey to three ounces then infuse of Diasena or Diacarthamum six drams streine it and adde sirrup of Violets of nine infusions or sirrup of Apples an ounce and half and give it The body being thus emptied let bloud at the left basilick veine with a large Orifice If the sick be inclined to Vomit then give him of the powder of the middle rine of a Walnut or of Broom-seeds or of the roots of Asarum four scruples with the decoction of Reddish rootes make a vomit or Nettle-seed poudered given in Mulse or Whey will doe the like some give three or four grains of Stibium prepared which I allow not but in rustick bodies Take of the sirrup of the juyce of Fumitory three ounces Endive and Burrage-water each half a pint Take of the roots of Bugloss two ounces sharp Dock-grass Butchers Broome Asparagus and Liquorice each an ounce of the middle rine of Tamarisk and Ash or Elder each half an ounce of Fumitory Hops common Endive Succory Milt-waist Balme each a handful Prunes fourteen Cuscute and Purslane-seeds and the four great cold Seeds each two drams flowers of Tamarice Broom Burrage Elder each a handful boyle them in order in a sufficient quantity of water then adde the juyce of sweet Apples three ounces a sufficient quantity of Sugar Aromatize it with a dram and a half of the powder of Galens Laetificans with part of this decoction you may make a magistral sirrup by adding Purgers of melancholly by which the Morbifical humour may bee purged epicrastically to strengthen the viscera use this Take of the Electuary of Hyacinth or confection of Alkermes half a dram powder of Diatriasantali and Galens Laetificans each a dram white Suger dissolved and boyled in Fumitory water four ounces and make it into Lozenges of two drams weight with the conserve of Succory flowers and Milt waist each three drams and give one three hours before Dinner If the Spleen require it use this Oyntment Take of Gum Elemi and juyce of Tobacco each an ounce Oyle of St. Johns-wort or Elder half an ounce of Rosen and Gum Amoniake dissolved in Vinegar of Capers and yellow Wax each two drams on the fire adde powder of long and round Birthwort and Cyclamen root each
