24. When the disease is in its vigour it is then necessary to use a very slender diet as well for the greatness of the Symptomes as for the coction of the humours for nature must not be hindred in the coction of the humours by the coction of the meat Canon 25. When the Disease is violent and quick it immediately causeth extream pain and dolour wherefore a most sharp weak diet is then most requisite because such a disease is in the vigour the first dayes as the grievous Symptomes which do incontinently accompany from the beginning do bear witness for a sharp sickness is that which attains to its height in the first four dayes or little after Canon 26. So soon as the sickness by its violence doth shew that it is drawing near the height then a strict diet must be enjoyned but when the height is long in continuing as it falls out in long diseases then a larger diet would be used till the approching to the height or a little before and then it must be restrained strict and small diets are dangerous in long diseases because they abate the spirits which ought to be preserved in their integtity to the end they may resist the height of the disease Canon 27. When the body is not clear the more it is nourish'd the more it is hurt for seeing that the body full of vicious humors hath more need of evacuation then nutrition it appears that they should not be too much nourished because these evil humours gather'd a long time in the body do spoyl the food newly received so that thereby the Chacochymie or evil digestion is augmented to the double which falls out chiefly when the stomach is foul for even as mixing clear water with muddy it becometh all muddy and troubled so the meat although pure and clear of it self yet taken by a great quantity into a foul body becomes wholly corrupt Canon 28. A larger diet must be granted to children then to old folks and a mediocre to those of a middle age because old men endure hunger easily and next to them such as are entring into the declining age young men worse and worst of all boyes for such as are growing have much of the naturall heat and therefore have much need of nourishment otherwise the body would consume but there is little heat in old bodies therefore they need not much nourishment for too much would choak them Canon 29. The great Cavities in the body in Winter and in the Spring are naturally hotter then at any other time and the sleep longer wherefore in these the diet may be larger by the Cavities the stomack is understood the whole belly containing the guts and the rest of the natural parts which are appointed for digestion If any one desire to know why the naturall heat is augmented in Winter Aristotle attributes the cause to the circumsisting air which is then colder by which means it driveth the natural heat inward whereas in Summer it extends itself ordinarily through the whole body towards the heat which is without as familiar to it Hence it is that in the Summer the substance is dissipated and exhales but in the Winter it is holden in and keeps there and therefore all the coction is the better made Canon 30. As to the form and manner of diet one should eat less in the Somer and in the Harvest and more often but in the Winter and Spring more seldome but more abundantly because in the Somer and the Harvest one doth hardly digest meat but in Winter very easily and in the Spring moderately well Canon 31. Such bodies as have been extenuated by long sickness must be nourished gently and repaired by little and little and those bodies that have been suddenly brought down must be speedily restored Canon 32. When the sickness gives intermission and leisure then it is time to give meat to the Patient but during the access and increase of the disease he must abstain for meat is then hurtful because it withdraws nature from the digestion of the humour to the concoction of the nouriture and because by it the disease is augmented Canon 33. Amongst the operations of Chyrurgery Phlebotomy or drawing of blood keeps the first rank because it is the common remedy of diseases which proceed of plenitude or fulness for by it an evacuation is made of the humours equally that course being for such infirmities the most exquisite of all other Canon 34. Phlebotomy is not onely a remedy evacuative but also revulsive and derivative for it is profitable to turn the course of the Flux to the opposite part or desire to turn it aside to the neighbour part Canon 35. In hot Fevers blood must be drawn even to the fainting of the spirits and heart if strength will bear it which course must be used in great inflammations and extreme pains for if blood be drawn in hot Fevers till the heart faint the whole body is immediately cooled and the vehement heat extinguished after which there followeth a flux of the belly and a Sweat by this means some are wholly cured of a Fever and others receive great ease when the vehemency of that sickness is past this sort of bleeding is likewise good in great inflamations both for the former reasons and because it stops the flux causing the inflamation as also it hinders the growth of the Phlegmon by which likewise it appeaseth the great dolours caused by the heat of the Fever and of its inflamations wherefore there is not found a remedy more soveraign for insupportable dolours then this of Phlebotomy or bleeding Canon 36. If the sickness do require it much blood must be drawn alwayes provided the spirits do permit it but if they fail then take it by little and little and at divers times for all extreme evacuations are dangerous and chiefly bleeding all at once Canon 37. They to whom purging and bleeding are profitable ought to be purged bled in the Spring for that season is most proper to make evacuation by Phlebotomy or Pharmacy because at that time there is no extraordinary heat to weaken the body by exhalation nor great cold to make it stiff by congealing the humours in it nor yet unequall to disturb the spirits but rather a moderate temper Canon 38. There is great cause of deliberation to be had in opening a veyn upon a woman with child because a woman with child being let blood may thereby be brought to be delivered before her time if the child be great because thereby the child is robbed of its food and shall famish in the womb of the mother which will cause it to break the bounds and seek elsewhere for nourishment and all before the maturity of time except the mother abound in blood for then the fear is so needless as in case that administration be not used both the mother and the child are in danger as hath been observed upon some of the most eminent Ladies in
