A43024	A theoretical and chiefly practical treatise of fevors wherein it's made evident that the modern practice of curing continual fevors is dangerous and very unsuccessful : hereunto are added several important observations and cures of malignant fevors not inserted in the former impression / written in Latin by Gideon Harvey ... ; now rendered into English by J.T. and surveyed by the author.; De febribus tractatus theoreticus et practicus praecipue.

any steems the valve of the Colon putting a stop to their passage Lastly That it is a ready means to cleanse the body without weakning or fermentation of the humours corrupted without the vessels which otherwise in process of time might largely contribute to the malignant matter within the Veins for it is the judgement of many that some Fevors which at the beginning were only hurtful through their putrefaction are changed into malignant and mortal by reason the putrid drabby settlement which lay hidden in the folds and coats of the guts is regurgitated into the vessels and that therefore purging glysters once or twice repeated ought to be necessarily put into use afterward they cause a glyster of milk and sugar to be administred once every day to soften deterge revell cool and evacuate There are those but are scarce in their wits that maintain the foresaid glyster ought to be made out of crude milk and to be applied cold conceiving that by boyling the volatil energetick particles might otherwise be evaporated into the air But they are unmindful how hurtful things are to the membranous parts and the guts that are actually cold and that they repel those putrid vapours that steem out of the hidden places of the mesentery and guts to the heart and the brain Others are of opinion one third or half the proportion of water ought to be poured to the boyling milk afterward putting sugar to it they administer it warm Others only simply order milk boyled and sweetned with sugar from half a pint to a pint The lower region of the body being thus cleansed two four or six hours after bleeding is to be celebrated in the right arm which Fermenters do sharply oppose because it doth exhaust the spirits and matter of life which failing the fermentation and concoction are thereby much disturbed and the heterogeneous particles getting the upper hand is a presage of an unlucky crisis However the greater number of this Sect do not think it safe to vary from putrid Physicians in this matter because almost all Fevors are too exorbitant in fermentation and the spirits oppressed by heterogeneous particles the heat being too much heightned the skin being constipated and lockt up through the soot of the pores all which evils bleeding doth very much abate These reasons swaying with the prudent they command a vein should be open'd twice thrice or four times according to the degree of plethory others tap off the blood every third day some every other day until together with the soul they have drawn out the whole In the next place they are to bend their force against the matter fermenting too fiercely by giving Cordials and Diaphoreticks In this particular the Fermenters and the putrid Physicians are differing the later relieving the impared vital faculty only with cold cordials as shall be made known to you in another place The forms of sudorifick Cordials as they are hung on the Apothecaries files and according as they have been prescribed by the more famous sort of Physicians shall now be put down R.

This prescription though it hath been in use almost an age some sucking Fermenters have thought fit to make exception against the Treacle-water because vinegar makes a great part of the composition which they say doth enrage the fermentation though according to the judgement of others Vinegar doth qualifie the fermentation and coagulate the fermentative particles moreover it 's adstringent shuts the pores of the body and stops all evacuations for which reasons the use of Vinegar is very much suspected by them therefore instead of the Aqua Theriacalis they allow to the prescription double the measure of Aqua Epidemica the description whereof is made publick in a small Treatise of the Colledge of London Printed a good while since but because the Copies are most dispersed I shall think it no trouble to set down its description here R.

Shewing that the modern practice of subduing continual putrid Fevors is barbarous and killing THat the practice of Fermentators is to be abominated and that it is killing who can deny Since among a great company of fevorish Patients the greater part whereof are probably strong young well slesht-men not being swelled or retcht in their Hypochonders or Belly yet scarce the third man recovers his former state of health What must be inferred from hence when in the rage of a Fevor though the Physician be sent for at the first minute of the Disease and that the strength of nature is more than proportioned to subdue the Fevor nevertheless the poor wretch dieth yes let all things be administred according to the most received rules of Physick let the highest cordial be given also Extractum Cardiacum Pearl Bezoar and the spirits of Hartshorn it self yet very oft to no purpose and the Fevors will triumph until the hour of death But if in favour of the Fermentators it be instanced that before our Aesculapius came to the assistance of the sick man the flame was kindled to the top and that the Fevor had taken deep rooting that the malignity of the disease had trodden down the principal or commanding faculties the cause of the fatal day is not to be imputed to the Physitian nor to his remedies but to the malignant distemper too much inraged by too long a stay Hereunto I reply notwithstanding that the Physitian was at hand at the very glimpse of the first spark of the Fevor which possibly then was of no such ill aspect as I hinted just now nevertheless the case will run to ruine But on the other hand if any one that liveth in the Country be he a Country man or come from the City be taken with a Fevor and the care be committed to an old wife immediately shegives him a certain posset that is throughly savoured with Carduus or Pepper and puts him to bed covering him well with clothes until he fall into a dew sweat this being once or twice repeated she commits the rest to nature wherein she proves so lucky that out of ten nine if not all for the most part get the better of their distemper Moreover the Divine old man scarce ever gave greater relief to any in a Fevor than by doing nothing and committing the whole business to nature and therefore he oft urgeth that nature be not interrupted in concoction Aphor. 22. lib. 1. 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 〈◊〉 c. that is do not move crude humours and Aphor. 24. of the same book It were better if they cannot discover the adequate remedy to follow Avicens document sen. 4. lib. 1. cap. 1.
