THE
PRACTISE
OF
PHYSICKE
.
CANON
I.
THE
methodick
practising
in
Physick
hath
first
a
knowledge
of
the
disease
,
next
fortelleth
the
event
of
it
,
and
last
goeth
about
to
cure
the
same
.
For
that
part
of
Physick
which
is
called
Therapeutick
,
followeth
still
the
diagnostick
&
prognostick
:
for
whosoever
wil
vse
profitable
remedies
,
shuld
first
remark
the
things
present
,
next
forwarn
the
future
,
because
it
is
necessare
to
vnderstand
the
present
estate
of
the
disease
,
to
that
end
that
the
remedies
proper
may
be
vsed
,
then
to
foresee
that
which
is
to
come
,
for
the
more
boldly
attempting
of
the
cure
,
if
there
bee
hope
of
health
:
or
else
to
foretell
the
danger
,
if
one
doe
feare
death
,
otherwise
to
abstaine
wholly
from
the
interprise
:
if
one
doth
feare
inevitable
death
:
for
wee
should
never
interprise
the
cure
of
desperat
diseases
:
much
lesse
promise
health
,
or
at
the
least
take
the
busines
in
hand
after
a
due
premonition
of
the
danger
of
it
.
Canon
II.
Now
to
come
to
the
perfect
knowledg
of
the
disease
,
ye
must
first
search
the
place
,
next
the
kind
,
and
then
the
cause
,
if
the
place
bee
manifest
of
the
selfe
,
it
resteth
to
find
out
the
espece
of
disease
,
and
then
the
cause
.
Canon
III.
The
place
is
knowne
by
the
action
hurt
or
hindered
,
by
the
sort
and
seat
of
the
paine
,
by
the
excrements
,
and
accidents
,
or
proper
symptomes
:
although
that
all
these
signes
doe
not
at
all
tymes
appeare
all
together
,
yet
still
some
of
them
doth
kyth
.
Canon
.
IV.
The
action
offended
showes
the
part
from
whence
it
proccedes
to
be
indisposed
for
a
functioun
animall
,
vitall
,
or
naturall
beeing
troubled
declares
some
of
those
parts
to
be
affected
,
so
the
hurt
of
the
reason
,
imagination
,
and
memorie
showes
the
braine
to
be
sicke
,
the
losse
of
sense
and
motion
manifests
the
nerves
or
else
there
origine
to
be
grieved
:
difficultie
of
breathing
,
wills
the
lights
or
some
of
the
instruments
of
respiration
to
bee
interessed
,
the
pulse
commoved
shows
the
heart
to
be
troubled
.
The
stop
of
the
discent
of
the
meat
,
shewes
the
vizorne
to
bee
hurt
,
the
digestion
hindred
,
the
stomack
,
when
the
body
is
not
nourished
,
the
lever
is
mistempered
.
The
espece
or
sort
of
sicknesse
points
foorth
also
the
place
,
so
a
paine
with
a
pulsation
is
from
the
nerve
hurt
or
offended
,
with
punction
from
the
membrane
distended
,
with
convulsion
,
from
the
drawing
of
the
nerves
or
tendons
with
violence
,
dolour
with
tension
shewes
the
veines
repletion
out
of
measure
:
when
it
is
profound
it
declares
the
membran
covering
the
bone
called
Periostium
to
bee
diseased
,
when
soft
and
gentle
without
great
paine
it
is
in
the
flesh
:
when
heavie
and
blunt
,
it
points
foorth
some
of
the
intrels
to
bee
grieved
.
The
situation
of
the
paine
makes
known
the
seat
of
the
disease
also
,
so
if
it
bee
in
the
right
hypochondre
or
vnder
the
short
ribs
on
the
right
side
,
it
declares
the
lever
to
be
hurt
,
if
vnder
the
left
side
,
the
melt
:
for
wheresoever
is
the
paine
there
is
the
sicknesse
:
wherefore
wee
must
not
omit
to
inquyre
of
the
sick
person
on
which
side
hee
lyes
with
greatest
ease
:
for
if
it
be
without
he
lyes
best
on
the
whole
side
,
but
if
within
,
best
on
the
sore
.
That
which
issueth
foorth
of
the
body
indicats
also
the
part
affected
,
so
if
by
cough
there
is
thrown
foorth
any
part
of
a
girstle
,
there
is
no
doubt
the
light
pypes
are
torne
:
if
in
the
water
there
is
found
any
peece
of
flesh
,
it
betokens
the
neers
to
bee
hurt
:
if
in
the
draught
,
there
is
found
any
peece
of
skin
,
it
signifies
the
puddings
to
be
vlcerat
.
The
stomack
is
known
to
bee
hurt
when
the
meat
or
chile
doth
issue
foorth
at
the
wound
,
and
if
the
fecall
mater
come
foorth
it
shews
the
puddings
to
be
wounded
,
so
the
water
issuing
wills
the
bladder
to
bee
wounded
,
and
when
the
Pleura
that
covers
the
ribs
within
is
pierced
,
then
the
wind
doth
blow
forth
at
the
hole
.
Moreover
the
forme
of
issuing
foorth
is
remarked
,
for
the
better
vnderstanding
of
the
part
that
is
troubled
:
so
the
blood
that
proceedes
of
the
arteries
,
because
of
the
abundance
of
the
spirits
doth
issue
with
force
in
a
leaping
manner
:
but
if
flowing
and
deadly
from
the
veine
:
also
if
any
peece
of
the
part
troubled
doe
come
forth
alone
,
it
signifieth
the
place
or
seat
to
be
neere
by
,
but
if
it
bee
mixed
with
the
excrements
,
it
declares
to
bee
higher
and
further
removed
.
The
accidents
points
also
at
the
place
,
so
the
pearle
declares
the
eye
to
bee
molested
,
the
swelling
of
the
right
lisk
,
the
lever
,
and
that
of
the
left
,
the
melt
.
The
symptomes
manifests
the
place
,
for
ravery
designes
the
braine
to
bee
distempered
,
the
cheeks
verie
red
,
the
lights
to
be
inflammed
,
the
losse
of
appetit
,
the
indisposition
of
the
stomack
,
the
excrements
like
to
the
washing
of
raw
flesh
,
the
debility
of
the
lever
.
Canon
.
V.
Thus
having
found
out
the
part
that
is
troubled
,
next
yee
must
search
whether
it
is
by
Idiopathie
or
by
Sympathie
:
because
it
is
requisit
first
to
help
the
part
that
is
troubled
by
the
owne
proper
desert
,
(
so
Idiopathie
is
a
proper
indisposition
of
the
part
as
is
the
pearle
of
the
eye
.
)
Sympathie
is
an
indisposition
which
befalls
any
part
by
the
fault
of
another
.
And
that
either
because
of
the
defluxion
of
an
humour
falling
from
one
part
to
another
,
or
by
reason
of
the
defect
of
the
naturall
facultie
requyred
for
the
action
of
the
part
:
sometimes
it
fals
out
that
a
part
of
a
long
trouble
by
a
sympathie
,
in
end
turnes
to
bee
troubled
by
an
Idiopathie
.
Idiopathie
is
either
privatiue
or
consecutiue
,
so
it
is
expedient
to
remark
whether
the
disease
bee
privatiue
,
that
is
,
bee
first
,
or
consecutive
,
that
is
,
doth
flow
from
another
.
An
Idiopathie
is
by
this
discerned
from
a
Sympathie
,
when
the
sore
is
alone
,
continuall
,
and
without
intermission
,
and
receaves
neither
increase
nor
diminution
,
by
the
augmentation
or
declination
of
any
disease
that
is
in
any
other
part
,
but
remaines
still
in
one
state
and
condition
,
the
remeds
applyed
,
serving
for
the
good
of
the
same
,
it
is
a
signe
that
the
indisposition
is
Idiopathetick
:
But
when
it
followeth
another
disease
,
&
growes
according
to
the
growth
of
the
same
,
and
also
is
mitigat
by
the
same
remeades
,
and
when
the
remeades
applyed
to
it selfe
doth
not
help
,
it
is
then
by
Sympathie
,
so
the
paine
of
the
head
arising
from
the
stomack
▪
is
distinguished
from
the
dolour
that
comes
of
the
proper
fault
of
the
braine
,
in
that
it
succeeds
to
a
desire
to
vomite
,
a
heavie
rifting
,
evill
smell
or
taste
in
the
mouth
,
with
a
falling
away
or
lypothomie
,
and
when
it
growes
with
the
indisposition
of
the
stomack
,
not
receiving
help
from
the
topicks
applyed
to
the
head
.
Canon
VI.
Having
found
out
the
part
of
the
body
offended
,
next
yee
must
make
inquisition
of
the
indisposition
.
The
indisposition
that
hindreth
action
is
called
morbus
or
sicknesse
,
that
which
followeth
it
is
termed
Symptome
,
and
that
which
ingenders
is
named
cause
:
so
that
all
indisposition
against
natur
is
either
morbus
,
symptoma
,
or
causa
.
The
Symptome
is
knowne
of
the
selfe
without
other
signes
,
because
it
is
objected
still
to
some
of
our
senses
:
but
the
disease
and
the
cause
for
the
most
part
are
removed
from
our
senses
,
but
they
are
known
by
the
Symptomes
which
are
the
signes
,
to
wit
,
by
the
actions
hurt
,
by
the
excrements
,
and
by
the
accidents
of
the
bodie
.
Canon
VII
.
Maladie
or
sicknesse
is
an
indisposition
against
nature
,
that
hurts
immediatly
the
action
of
the
part
affected
,
whensoever
then
thou
perceives
the
action
to
be
hindred
or
hurt
,
then
is
it
a
disease
.
Sicknesse
or
maladie
is
triple
,
similare
,
instrumentall
,
and
common
:
the
first
hurts
the
action
of
the
part
similare
,
the
second
troubles
the
vse
of
the
organick
,
the
third
hinders
both
:
wherefore
if
the
action
of
the
part
,
in
so
farre
as
it
is
similare
be
hurt
,
the
disease
shall
bee
similare
,
if
in
so
farre
as
an
instrument
,
it
shall
bee
instrumentall
,
and
if
they
both
befall
together
it
shall
bee
common
.
The
action
of
the
part
similary
is
hindred
by
a
simple
intemperature
,
as
heat
,
cold
,
moistnesse
,
and
drouth
,
or
by
one
composed
,
as
hot
and
dry
,
hot
and
humid
,
cold
and
dry
,
cold
and
humid
,
&
that
either
with
or
without
mater
.
The
vse
of
the
organe
is
preverted
by
the
fault
of
the
greatnesse
,
nombre
,
situation
,
oftest
by
conformation
,
and
obstruction
:
both
the
one
and
the
other
,
is
troubled
by
the
breach
or
solution
of
continuitie
in
the
parts
,
as
by
phlegmon
,
scirrh
,
or
any
other
tumour
contrare
nature
,
as
also
by
vlcere
,
wound
,
fracture
,
or
luxation
,
so
in
temperature
is
a
sicknesse
,
similare
:
obstruction
,
a
disease
organick
,
and
solution
of
the
continuitie
sicknesse
,
common
.
The
diversitie
of
especes
are
known
by
the
varietie
of
the
actions
hindered
,
so
the
continuall
desyre
of
sleepe
signifieth
an
indisposition
,
cold
and
moist
of
the
braine
,
a
continuall
waking
shewes
a
hote
and
dry
pulse
frequent
,
quick
,
and
vnaequall
,
a
fever
:
suchlike
the
kind
of
the
paine
points
foorth
the
disease
,
as
a
dolour
inflammative
a
hot
distemper
,
a
stupefactive
,
a
cold
.
The
excrements
serveth
also
to
find
out
the
espece
of
the
sicknesse
,
as
sand
in
the
water
shews
a
gravell
,
the
meat
sent
foorth
below
without
change
,
declares
a
lienterie
:
suchlike
the
accidents
of
the
bodie
,
so
the
colour
greene
shewes
an
oppilation
in
the
liver
,
browne
colour
an
obstruction
in
the
melt
,
a
blak
tougne
,
a
burning
or
fever
,
the
nailes
crooked
a
consumption
ptisie
:
the
cheekes
red
,
a
peripneumonie
.
Among
those
accidents
they
that
are
proper
and
inseparable
,
are
holden
for
most
certaine
,
because
they
haue
a
great
demonstrative
facultie
.
Canon
VIII
.
The
nature
and
situation
of
the
place
serves
much
to
the
knowledge
of
the
kind
of
the
sickenesse
for
everie
part
hath
the
owne
prope
sicknesse
,
so
the
eyes
onely
are
subject
to
a
pearle
,
the
neires
and
bladder
to
the
stone
,
the
puddings
to
wormes
and
not
the
stomacke
,
the
heart
can
never
suffer
a
vlcer
profound
nor
the
lights
any
dolour
.
Canon
IX
.
The
better
taking
of
the
disease
,
you
must
diligently
consider
the
things
antecedent
such
are
the
nature
,
the
habitude
,
the
age
,
the
countrie
,
the
season
,
the
disposition
of
the
aire
,
the
forme
of
lyfe
of
him
who
is
diseased
and
the
sickenesse
wherewith
hee
vses
to
be
molested
:
for
one
is
soonest
overtaken
with
the
disease
with
the
which
there
nature
hath
greatest
familiaritie
.
So
hote
diseases
are
most
frequentlie
incident
to
hot
bilious
persons
as
cold
sickenes
to
cold
lumpish
nature
and
that
alswell
to
those
who
are
such
by
nature
,
habitude
and
age
as
to
those
who
are
so
by
reason
of
the
region
,
the
season
and
the
constitution
of
the
aire
.
And
albeit
that
all
sort
of
sickenesse
may
befall
to
all
sort
of
persons
,
all
ages
in
all
place
&
time
,
yet
they
fal
on
most
frequently
the
temperament
age
,
place
&
time
with
the
which
they
have
some
affinitie
.
An
Epidemik
sicknesse
is
knowne
incontinent
by
the
running
of
it
among
the
people
,
seazing
on
many
at
one
tyme
:
al
hereditar
disease
as
the
epilepsie
,
the
gravell
,
the
gowt
is
suspect
to
be
incident
to
those
who
are
procreat
of
parents
,
sicke
of
such
infirmities
.
Moreover
often
men
finds
the
kind
of
the
disease
by
the
usage
of
the
things
which
hurts
or
helps
,
for
the
hote
intemperature
doth
increase
by
the
vse
of
hote
things
but
is
mitigate
by
the
vse
of
cooling
things
,
the
cold
intemperature
of
the
contraire
.
Canon
X.
After
the
acquyred
knowledg
of
the
disease
make
search
thereafter
for
the
cause
of
it
,
the
which
is
either
extern
or
intern
,
the
intern
is
two
fold
,
antecedent
or
conjoyned
.
First
then
seeke
out
the
cause
conjoyned
,
because
it
produceth
immediatly
the
disease
.
It
is
therefore
needefull
to
search
whither
it
be
winde
or
any
other
superabundant
humor
as
blood
,
bile
,
melancholie
or
phlegme
,
or
any
other
thing
contrare
natur
,
as
stone
,
lump
of
blood
,
worms
or
any
other
sort
of
excrement
.
The
colour
&
natur
of
the
place
,
the
kind
of
the
dolour
and
the
sort
of
the
excrement
with
the
praedominant
humor
in
the
bodie
will
serve
for
markes
.
Canon
XI
.
For
when
the
part
in
flāmed
is
red
,
it
is
full
of
blood
:
when
yellow
,
full
of
byle
:
but
that
which
is
cold
and
whyt
is
replenished
with
phlegme
,
when
blackish
,
with
melancholy
,
for
the
colour
of
the
skin
doth
commonly
point
forth
the
humor
is
within
.
Divers
parts
are
appointed
for
the
ingendring
of
diverse
humors
excrementitious
,
as
the
lever
for
breeding
of
yellow
byle
:
the
melt
,
of
black
byle
,
the
stomack
,
the
tryps
,
and
the
braine
of
phlegme
,
the
neers
and
the
bladder
,
of
the
gravell
and
stone
,
the
tryps
of
wormes
.
The
paine
pricks
sore
when
it
is
caused
of
choler
,
it
is
moderat
when
it
proceeds
of
blood
,
blunt
when
of
melancholy
,
phlegme
,
or
wind
,
except
it
bee
when
they
mak
great
distention
through
their
aboundance
.
If
that
which
issueth
forth
by
the
excrements
of
the
part
affected
,
bee
a
portion
of
that
which
is
continued
,
within
it
,
it
shews
either
by
the
colour
or
substance
what
it

it
follows
,
know
whether
it
bee
alone
or
if
it
bee
fostered
or
furnished
by
any
other
cause
antecedent
.
That
which
gathered
,
is
by
way
of
congestion
through
the

of
the

,
is
reput
to
bee
alone

when
all

doth
exoner
the

on
the

a

Canon
XIII
.
The
cause
antecedent
of
the
sicknesse
,
is
double
,
the
one
is
named
Plethor
or
plenitud
,
the
other
is
called
Cacochymi
,
Plethor
is
a
repletion
of
all
the
humours
aequallie
augmented
,
or
of
blood
only
.
Cacochymie
is
a
repletion
of
Choler
,
melancholy
or
phlegme
:
the
signes
both
of
the
one
and
the
other
,
are
taken
both
from
the
causes
antecedent
,
which
doth
gather
the
humor
as
from
the
temperature
of
the
whole
body
,
and
of
the
principall
parts
,
from
the
age
,
season
,
constitution
of
the
aire
,
region
,
maner
of
living
,
and
of
the
evacuation
ordinar
suppressed
,
as
also
from
the
accidents
that
befall
all
the
qualities
of
the
body
:
such
as
bee
the
colour
,
the
habitud
,
the
fashions
,
the
functions
animall
,
vitall
,
and
naturall
,
as
from
the
sleep
,
dreams
,
pulse
,
concoction
,
excrements
,
of
the
diseases
ensuing
,
and
of
the
things
that
hurts
and
profites
.
Canon
XIV
.
There
bee
two
sorts
of
plenitud
,
the
one
called
plenitudo
ad
vires
,
in
the
which
the
blood
,
although
it
be
not
excessive
,
neither
in
quantity
nor
qualitie
,
overcharges
never
the
lesse
the
weake
forces
of
nature
:
the
other
is
,
plenitudo
ad
vasa
,
the
which
in
quantity
surpasses
the
naturall
limits
or
bounds
:
and
this
either
light
or
gentle
,
when
it
fills
only
the
cavity
of
the
veines
not
farre
exceeding
mediocritie
:
or
it
is
excessive
when
it
extends
,
so
that
it
almost
rives
the
veines
through
the
fulnesse
of
it
by
too
great
aboundance
:
and
althogh
it
bee
verie
excessive
,
it
may
bee
so
that
nature
bee
not
chooked
by
it
,
for
commonlie
the
force
growes
with
the
blood
,
but
if
it
fall
out
that
the
forces
bee
abaited
,
then
it
is
plenitudo
supra
vires
.
When
then
in
a
plethor
,
the
bodie
is
on
no
wayes
by
a
too
great
weight
,
lasie
or
heavie
,
and
the
force
remaines
stil
in
a
state
,
it
is
onely
a
plentitud
ad
vasa
.
But
when
the
bodie
becomes
heavie
,
lasie
,
doyled
▪
the
fleepe
troubled
and
profond
,
seeming
to
carie
as
it
were
some
thing
,
while
hee
sleepes
,
it
is
then
plenitudo
,
supra
vires
.
Canan
XV.
The
causes
that
ingenders
blood
in
aboundance
,
are
signes
antecedents
,
of
a
plenitud
as
the
complection
temperat
of
all
the
whole
bodie
,
but
chiefly
of
the
lever
,
and
the
heart
,
or
else
moderatly
hot
and
humid
.
The
age
growing
for
the
bairnes
and
young
men
hath
much
blood
,
because
they
are
not
farre
from
there
principes
of
naturall
generation
.
The
spring
also
for
in
it
the
blood
abounds
for
then
the
cold
ceaseth
and
there
falls
out
waters
.
Also
good
fare
:
a
plesant
past
lyfe
,
without
care
,
moderat
excersise
,
and
sleepe
.
The
naturall
evacuation
,
of
blood
suppressed
:
or
the
artificiall
of
long
intermitted
.
The
accidents
which
showes
the
domination
of
blood
in
the
bodie
,
are
the
signes
consequent
of
blood
,
such
bee
,
The
colour
of
the
face
and
all
the
bodie
red
,
by
the
ordinare
custome
or
mixed
of
red
and
whyt
.
The
swelling
of
the
veines
aequalie
appearing
through
all
.
A
manifest
bending
of
the
vessels
,
being
full
of
blood
by
measure
.
A
lazines
or
wearying
comming
of
it self
without
any
labour
,
vnder
the
which
the
joynters
by
reason
of
their
weight
with
great
difficultie
doe
move
the
selfe
,
for
it
is
when
the
great
veines
over
full
of
blood
doe
exoner
themselves
in
the
litle
,
and
they
againe
in
the
muscels
,
so
that
they
are
filled
and
bended
.
The
habitude
of
the
bodie
fleshie
,
because
it
doeth
proceed
of
an
aboundance
of
blood
,
yea
the
mediocer
fleshy
acompanied
of
a
heat
benigne
,
and
vaporous
,
for
that
is
a
signe
of
nature
temperat
which
ingenders
aboundance
of
blood
.
The
fashions
and
cariag
merrie
,
joviall
,
peaceable
,
gentle
,
because
they
are
marks
of
a
body
well
disposed
.
The
heavinesse
of
the
head
proceeding
from
the
aboundance
of
vapours
ascending
vpwards
.
The
sleepe
profound
and
pleasant
,
with
dreames
of
things
pleasant
.
The
pulse
strong
,
great
,
and
full
,
for
in
it
the
veines
are
so
full
,
that
they
doe
infuse
a
part
in
the
neighbors
arters
by
an
anastomosie
,
the
which
being
filled
,
causes
such
a
pulse
and
that
not
onelie
in
the
shakle
bones
,
but
also
in
the
temples
,
the
fingers
,
and
over
all
the
body
.
The
respiration
more
difficill
and
frequent
,
chiefly
after
exercise
,
because
the
muscells
of
the
breast
are
made
lazie
throgh
the
aboundance
of
blood
,
hence
it
is
that
the
respiration
is
made
more
frequent
by
reason
of
the
vse
,
but
shortned
because
the
capacity
interior
of
the
breast
is
made
more
strait
.
The
promptitud
of
rendring
blood
by
the
seages
,
aemerodes
,
monethly
courses
,
water
,
nose
,
and
spitle
.
Moreover
a
continuall
sweating
during
the
time
of
the
disease
,
is
a
token
of
plenitud
.
Canon
XVI
.
Cacothymie
is
three
fold
,
cholerick
,
melancholick
,
and
phlegmatick
:
the
causes
that
gathers
aboundance
of
choler
,
are
signes
preceeding
the
same
,
such
are
,
The
complexion
hot
and
dry
,
for
commonly
there
ingenders
much
choler
in
men
of
a
hot
and
dry
complexion
,
by
reason
of
the
conformity
of
this
humour
with
that
temperament
.
The
manlie
age
which
is
betwixt
25
and
35.
for
in
that
,
choler
doth
abound
,
because
the
naturall
heat
is
much
more
dry
and
active
then
,
than
before
a
great
part
of
the
inbred
moist
or
sap
being
consumed
by
it
.
The
Summer
,
for
the
byle
is
more
abundant
than
by
reason
of
the
circumsisting
air
,
which
makes
the
blood
more
hote
and
dry
.
The
climat
hot
and
dry
,
the
precedent
dyet
of
these
same
qualities
.
Such
like
great
exercise
,
travell
,
anger
,
care
,
watching
,
fasting
;
and
abstinence
doth
all
gather
byle
.
Moreover
the
ordinar
evacuation
of
bile
by
vomit
,
by
the
stoole
,
the
water
,
the
sweat
,
suppressed
.
The
consequent
markes
of

Choler
,
are
,
The
whole
colour
of
the
body
,
pale
,
yellow
or
blackish
,
drawing

,
the
colour
is
black
The
state
of
the
body
,
dry
,
leane
,
small
,
for
such
proportions
are
commonly
bylous
,
as
also
hairie
with
the
haire
red
,
for
it
is
the
excrement
of
byle
.
But
more
the
black
,
for
black
haire
is
when
the
exhalation
burnt
by
the
force
of
the
heat
is
changed
in
black
,
but
the
red
is
when
it
is
not
so
burnt
.
The
greatnesse
of
the
veines
extended
by
the
heat
,
for
they
who
hath
great
veines
are
of
complexion
hote
,
but
who
hath
strait
and
narrow
veines
,
are
of
cold
,
for
it
is
heat
that
doth
inlarge
.
The
heat
,
sharp
,
and
byting
to
the
toucth
.
Promptitud
of
courage
,
and
a
disposition
to
anger
and
revenge
.
The
sense
lively
,
light
and
suddaine
.
The
spirit
subtile
,
and
of
good
invention
,
for
the
subtilitie
and
industrie
of
the
judgment
comes
of
the
humor
bylous
.
The
sleepe
little
and
light
,
accompanied
with
inquyetud
,
great
watching
,
testifying
the
great
drynes
of
the
braine
from
the
which
they
flow
,
or
else
from

of
a

Canon
XVII
.
The
melancholick
distemper
is
knowne
first
by
the
causes
productives
of
melancholie
,
as
are
:
The
temperature
cold
and
dry
,
with
a
debility
of
the

,
or

,
but
become

for
if
any

,
by
an
adustion
of
the
blood
ingenders
much
black
bile
,
hee
becomes
cold

dry
,
and
in

melancholick
.
The

Dry
diseases
ordinarly
accompanies
the
hote
causes

and
the
humide
,
the
cold
.
For
hote
doth
ordinarly
bring
with
it
drouth
,
and
cold
,
humiditie
,
because
it
is
the
mother
of
crudities
.
For
to
find
out
then
exactlie
the
cause
and
effect
of
the
maladie
which
is
hid
,
it
is
needefull
by
a
diligent
inquisition
,
and
interrogation
of
all
things
,
which
commonlie
are
called
,
not
naturall
causes
,
to
learne
of
the
sick
if
he
hath
exposed
himselfe
to
an
intemperat
or
impure
aire
,
if
he
hath
committed
any
excesse
in
meat
and

,
or
in

or
if
he
hath
bene
too
fierce
in

service

or
if

hath

,
or
if

as
the

courses
to

and
the
flux
of

aemrodes
to

,
and
so
much
the
rather
wee
ought
to
inquyre
carefully
of
the
things
past
,
because
the
ignorance
of
the
causes
is
not
without
great
danger
:
for
if
a
fever
should
fall
into
long
watching
,
fasting
,
or
over
great
dallying
with
Venus
,
then
without
consideration
of
the
cause
of
the
disease
,
presently
they
would
draw
blood
and
purge
,
should
they
not
thinke
you
hazard
his
life
,
seeing
the
disease
to
haue
come
from
evacuation
:
For
in
the
contrare
wee
ought
rather
to
repare
the
forces
by
analeptiks
or
restoring
things
,
and
not
augment
it
by
Phlebotomie
and
cathartiks
.
For
to
foresee
the
issue
of
the
Disease
.
Canon
I.
THe
fundamentall
laws
of
the
Prognosticks
,
are
taken
from
things
naturall
,
not
naturall
,
and
conter
nature
,
as
of
the
springs
:
for
we
foresee
and
foretell
the
sicknesse
to
be
salutare
or
mortall
,
short
or
long
,
by
the
force
,
the
constitution
of
the
body
and
age
of
the
Patient
,
the
season
,
&
the
forme
of
life
,
by
the
cause
,
the
espece
and
seige
of
the
evill
,
with
the
symptomes
,
which
wee
remarke
in
the
change
or
diminution
of
the
actions
,
the
excrements
and
the
qualities
of
the
body
.
Canon
II.
If
the
forces
bee
strong
to
obtaine
the
victorie
over
the
disease
,
without
doubt
the
sick
shall
escape
,
if
not
shall
die
.
For
none
dies
so
long
as
their
force
remaines
:
but
so
soone
as
the
forces
beginnes
to
yeeld
to
the
burden
of
the
sicknesse
,
then
followeth
death
.
Now
to
foretell
the
day
of
death
yee
must
remarke
how
farre
the
sicknesse
surpasseth
the
forces
,
and
remarke
the
most
violent
accesse
,
for
if
one
doth
perceive
the
sicknesse
so
to
outrepasse
the
forces
,
that
they
cannot
bee
able
any
longer
to
resist
,
death
shall
follow
presently
:
but
if
it
appear
otherwise
it
shall
be
longer
:
so
that
the
origine
of
Prognosticks
consists
in
the
conferring
of
the
forces
with
the
sicknesse
.
For
if
nature
bee
strong
enough
to
overcome
the
sicknesse
,
then
the
person
shall
escape
:
but
if
it
bee
so
weake
that
it
cannot
obtaine
the
victorie
,
death
of
necessity
will
follow
,
and
yee
must
wait
on
the
one
or
the
other
sooner
or
later
,
according
as
the
forces
are
stronger
or
weaker
:
hence
it
appeares
that
all
the
other
signes
salubres
or
mortals
are
no
otherwise
,
foresignes
of
death
or
life
,
but
because
they
point
foorth
the
forces
or
weaknesse
of
nature
in
the
combat
with
the
sicknesse
.
Canon
.
III.
It
is
a
great
helpe
to
health
to
bee
of
a
mediocre
constitution
of
body
,
that
is
,
neither
too
fat
nor
too
leane
;
for
such
a
bodie
hath
great
forces
to
resist
vnto
any
disease
that
doth
present
the
selfe
:
but
where
this
mediocrisie
is
not
,
a
grosse
bodie
is
in
a
worse
case
then
a
small
:
for
who
are
of
that
taillie
,
dies
sooner
then
they
that
are
of
the
other
:
because
the
veines
and
arteres
of
growne
fat
people
are
narrow
and
strait
&
therefore
hath
both
litle
blood
and
spirits
,
so
that
the
age
concurring
,
vpon
a
light
occasion
,
the
naturall
heat
is
choaked
or
extinguished
:
But
they
that
are
of
a
leane
and
thin
constitution
,
because
they
haue
the
veines
&
arters
larger
,
and
also
more
blood
&
spirits
,
which
in
them
doth
not
so
shortly
incurre
the
danger
of
death
:
yet
so
it
is
that
they
are
sooner
troubled
by
externall
causes
,
and
that
for
lacke
of
flesh
and
greise
,
so
the
grosse
are
more
obnoxius
to
interne
injuries
,
the
leane
to
extern
.
Canon
IV.
Youth
hath
great
force
to
withstand
the
disease
,
because
it
hath
store
of
naturall
heat
requisit
to
the
concoction
and
excretion
of
the
evill
humors
.
Contrare
,
old
age
is
not
able
to
resist
,
because
of
the
defect
of
force
,
not
having
much
naturall
heat
.
Hence
it
is
that
sicknesse
are
longer
in
old
people
then
young
,
because
they
abound
in
cold
humors
,
the
digestion
whereof
cannot
be
but
in
a
long
space
,
by
reason
of
the
weaknesse
of
their
naturall
heat
:
yea
the
greatest
part
of
sicknesse
that
arrives
to
old
people
doth
convoy
them
to
their
grave
.
Canon
V.
The
Spring
is
verie
wholesome
and
no
wayes
mortall
,
when
it
keeps
the
temperature
:
but
in
Harvest
the
diseases
are
very
strong
and
deadly
for
the
most
part
.
First
because
being
cold
and
dry
is
diametrically
opposed
to
our
life
,
which
consists
in
heat
and
moisture
,
and
so
hinders
the
generation
of
blood
whereof
our
bodie
is
made
and
nourished
.
Secondly
,
because
it
receives
from
the
Summer
preceeding
the
body
languishing
and
wearie
.
Thirdly
,
because
it
beat
back
within
the
body
the
superfluous
humors
melted
by
the
heat
of
Summer
,
and
come
foorth
to
the
skin
,
to
the
end
they
may
goe
foorth
.
The
fourth
because
about
the
twelfth
hour
it
opens
the
pores
of
the
body
by
the
heat
,
and
incontinent
thereafter
becomes
cold
:
it
ryses
within
the
bodie
as
an
enemy
to
extinguish
by
its
qualitie
maligne
the
naturall
heat
already
feeble
and
languishing
.
Moreover
it
gathers
store
of
crudities
within
the
body
,
the
which
doth
choak
the
naturall
heat
,
and
that
by
the
vse
of
fruits
which
it
furninisheth
.
The
Summer
hastenes
sicknes
,
but
the
Winter
doth
retarde
them
,
because
in
the
Summer
the
pores
being
open
,
the
evill
humors
of
the
body
being
melted
,
by
the
heat
of
the
aire
are
suddainly
dissipat
,
but
in
Winter
they
being
closed
by
the
cold
they
are
retained
within
.
Canon
VI.
Among
the
constititions
of
the
seasons
the
dry
is
more
wholesome
and
not
so
deadly
as
the
rain
,
for
it
gathereth
no
excrements
and
resists
better
to
the
putrefaction
,
the
humid
in
the
contrar
causes
many
superfluities
from
whence
are
the
generation
of
diseases
,
when
the
seasons
are
constant
keeping
there
temperature
ordinar
,
so
that
all
things
doth
naturally
fall
out
in
them
,
the
diseases
are
lykewayes
constant
and
facily
to
be
vnderstood
,
but
when
the
season
is
inconstant
,
so
are
the
sicknes
variable
and
hard
to
be
vnderstood
,
for
there
crise
is
accompanied
with
dangerous
symptomes
where
they
suddenly
cause
death
or
ells
leaves
a
matter
to
a
new
sickenesse
.
When
the
sicke
proves
a
good
second
to
the
physitian
fighting
againes
the
sicknes
,
it
is
easie
to
obtaine
the
victorie
.
Now
when
he
beleues
the
physition
and
puts
in
practise
his
ordinances
hee
serves
him
for
a
second
and
declares
himselfe
enemie
of
the
disease
:
in
the
contrar
if
quyting
the
physition
he
takes
part
with
the
disease
accomplishing
that
which
hee
desyres
,
he
hazards
his
life
two
wayes
the
one
in
leaving
the
physition
aboue
in
combat
,
the
other
in
serving
as
a
second
to
the
sickenesse
which
was
before
alone
,
for
it
is
certaine
two
is
stronger
nor
one
.
Canon
VIII
.
The
greatnes
of
the
sickenesse
followes
the
greatnes
of
the
cause
,
for
as
a
light
cause
produces
a
light
evill
,
even
so
a
great
causeth
a
great
.
Hence
a
vehement
cause
contrar
nature
is
a
most
certaine
indice
of
a
great
and
dangerous
sicknes
.
Canon
IX
.
Byle
causes
still
,
quicke
diseases
,
which
are
termined
or
ended
within
few
dayes
because
it
is
easilie
resolved
by
its
subtilitie
,
but
melancholie
is
the
most
viscuous
of
all
the
humors
,
and
makes
longest
accesses
,
because
it
is
dry
cold
and
thicke
,
being
the
lyfe
of
the
blood
.
Next
to
melancholy
is
phlegme
in
difficulty
of
digestion
and
expulsion
by
reason
of
its
viscositie
Canon
X.
The
diseases
that
hath
some
resemblance
with
the
nature
,
bodily
constitution
,
and
age
of
the
diseased
,
are
lesse
dangerous
then
these
that
hath
no
conformity
,
for
all
sicknesse
,
hot
,
cold
,
dry
,
moist
,
being
conforme
to
the
complexion
,
age
,
and
bodily
constitution
of
the
sicke
,
and
also
to
the
season
hath
so
much
lesse
danger
,
as
it
is
lesse
removed
from
the
naturall
constitution
,
and
so
may
more
easily
returne
,
as
proceeding
from
a
lighter
,
yea
a
slighter
cause
.
As
in
the
contrare
,
the
disease
that
hath
no
affinity
,
neither
with
the
temper
,
taillie
,
nor
age
of
the
Patient
,
or
with
the
season
,
is
much
more
dangerous
then
the
former
,
being
further
removed
from
the
naturall
complexion
,
and
therefore
worse
to
cure
:
as
proceeding
of
a
greater
and
stronger
cause
.
So
that
of
two
burnt
fevers
equall
in
grandure
that
which
fals
out
in
the
Summer
to
a
young
man
leane
of
body
,
of
temper
hot
,
shall
not
be
so
dangerous
as
that
which
fals
out
in
the
Winter
to
an
old
man
of
a
fat
body
and
cold
complexion
.
Canon
XI
.
Meeke
and
gentle
relenting
diseases
are
commonly
long
,
but
the
sharpe
,
fyrie
,
and
fierce
are
ended
within
fourteene
dayes
,
and
the
extreame
hot
in
seven
dayes
.
There
can
no
certain
prediction
be
made
of
hot
,
sharp
diseases
,
either
for
health
nor
death
,
for
by
that
they
are
quickly
ended
,
they
become
on
a
suddaintie
great
:
so
that
both
for
the
greatnesse
of
the
disease
,
with
the
suddaine
change
which
befals
in
the
crise
,
as
also
because
the
humor
is
often
transported
from
one
place
to
another
,
the
issue
is
vncertaine
,
wherefore
while
the
humor
is
in
its
motion
,
we
must
suspend
our
judgement
,
for
it
is
not
certain
whether
it
will
rush
on
a
noble
or
ignoble
part
,
within
or
without
by
passages
conveniable
or
not
conveniable
:
&
thogh
the
humor
were
staied
in
one
place
,
yet
the
Physician
ought
not
resolutly
affirme
that
the
sick
shall
escape
,
but
with
this
provision
,
that
no
new
change
befall
,
and
that
hee
follow
the
advise
and
keep
the
regiment
prescribed
.
When
a
woman
with
child
is
overtaken
by
any
firie
hot
disease
,
shee
is
in
danger
of
her
life
,
for
a
hot
fyrie
fever
requyres
a
strait
dyet
,
which
shee
cannot
admit
,
least
the
child
being
frustrat
of
his
food
shee
be
broght
to
bed
before
the
time
:
and
if
oft
to
save
the
child
,
yee
give
the
mother
often
to
eat
,
the
fever
thereby
growing
yee
shall
precipitat
the
mother
in
a
manifest
hazard
of
her
life
,
and
if
it
be
any
other
strong
sicknesse
without
fever
,
as
a
epilepsie
,
apoplexy
,
convulsion
,
shee
shall
never
be
able
to
support
the
vehemencie
of
it
.
Canon
XII
.
To
foretell
the
event
of
the
disease
,
yee
must
consider
diligently
the
part
that
is
offended
,
whether
it
bee
noble
or
ignoble
,
publick
or
privat
,
for
the
condition
,
dignitie
,
and
necessitie
of
the
part
that
suffereth
,
are
of
great
importance
,
for
the
pronouncing
of
a
sentence
to
the
profit
or
prejudice
of
the
sick
.
Canon
XIII
.
In
all
diseases
the
constancie
of
the
reason
not
troubled
:
with
the
bounty
of
the
appetit
still
readie
for
taking
of
whatsomeever
shall
bee
offered
to
it
,
is
a
good
signe
,
and
the
contrare
is
an
evill
:
the
satlednesse
of
the
reason
,
and
sharpnesse
of
the
appetit
are
numbred
among
the
good
markes
,
because
the
former
beares
witnesse
of
the
temperat
disposition
of
the
braine
,
the
menings
or
tayes
of
the
harnes
,
and
of
the
marrow
of
the
backe
,
the
medrife
and
all
the
nervous
parts
,
and
the
latter
shews
the
integritie
of
the
stomack
and
lever
:
In
the
contrare
,
the
alienation
and
troubling
of
the
reason
,
and
the
losse
of
appetit
,
are
evill
signes
,
because
the
one
betokens
the
animal
parts
to
be
affected
,
the
other
the
naturall
.
All
they
that
are
troubled
with
paine
or
dolour
in
any
part
of
the
body
whatsomeever
,
and
are
not
sensible
of
it
,
hath
the
reason
troubled
,
because
the
apprehension
doth
not
perceiue
in
any
measure
the
evill
.
Canon
XIV
.
It
is
good
to
sleep
in
the
night
to
make
reparation
of
the
spirits
animals
and
digestion
of
the
humors
,
by
the
meanes
of
the
heat
that
enters
within
the
center
of
the
body
,
and
to
watch
in
the
day
,
for
the
clearing
of
the
same
spirits
,
to
give
motion
to
the
humors
,
and
to
make
expulsion
of
the
excrements
:
but
it
is
a
verie
pernicious
signe
not
to
sleepe
night
nor
day
,
for
continuall
watching
commeth
either
of
the
dolour
,
paine
,
and
torment
that
they
suffer
,
or
of
the
drynesse
of
the
braine
,
which
in
end
will
cause
an
alienation
of
the
mind
.
Sleepe
likewise
surpassing
the
borders
of
mediocrite
,
is
in
like
maner
evill
,
because
it
is
a
marke
of
extreame
coldnesse
of
the
braine
,
which
causeth
a
lethargie
if
it
bee
mixed
with
humidity
or
catalepsie
,
if
with
drynesse
.
When
in
a
sicknesse
sleepe
is
noysome
and
hurteth
,
there
is
danger
of
death
:
for
if
the
sleep
hurts
,
that
time
,
that
hath
bene
accustomed
to
helpe
much
,
as
in
the
decline
of
any
sicknesse
,
it
is
not
without
cause
that
it
foretelleth
death
:
and
that
because
the
heat
reteared
within
the
body
the
time
of

Notable
neverthelesse
either
by
reason
of
its
weaknesse
or
the
maliciousnesse
of
humors
overcome
the
cause
of
the

,
shews
that
nature
no
wayes
strengthned
or
comforted
by

rather

is
ready
to

Canon
XV.
The
pulse
is
the
faithful
messenger
of
the
heart
,
bringing
certaine
news
of
death
and
life
:
The
pulse
great
and
strong
is
a
token
of
force
,
on
the
which
is
builded
the
hope
of
recoverie
of
the
health
,
but
the
pulse
litle
,
weake
and
languishing
,
shews
the
weaknes
of
the
vitall
facultie
,
from
whence
is
the
feare
of
death
:
the
inequality
of
the
pulse
is
alwayes
evill
when
it
perseveres
,
the
intermission
of
it
in
young
men
is
most
dangerous
,
for
it
threatneth
with
present
death
,
if
it
bee
not
from
an
obstruction
and
oppression
of
the
arters
,
it
is
lesse
dangerous
in
bairnes
,
and
least
of
all
in
old
men
.
Canon
XVI
.
Yee
must
know
that
the
respiration
and
breathing
,
free
without
stoppe
is
very
wholesome
,
in
all
sharpe
or
quicke
diseases
:
Because
it
denotes
the
temperature
of
the
breast
,
and
of
the
parts
therein
contained
.
As
also
the
respiration
remainting
whole
,
declares
the
naturall
heat
yet
to
be
strong
for
to
fight
valiantly
with
the
disease
in
the
contrar
,
the
difficultie
of
breathing
showes
the
indisposition
of
the
vitall
parts
,
and
the
suffocation
of
the
forces
.
For
the
respiration
frequent
and
great
,
is
a
signe
of
some
inflamation
of
the
parts
within
the
breast
:
but
the
great
and
rare
,
foreshow
a
future
alienation
of
the
Spirit
,
as
the
respiration
,
little
and
rare
,
betokens
as
death
,
because
it
beares
witnes
of
the
exstinction
of
the
naturall
heat
,
which
one
perceives
clearly
by
the
coldnes
of
the
breath
ishuing
at
the
nostrells
and
the
mouth
.
Canon
XVII
.
It
is
a
good
signe
to
have
still
a
whole
heart
,
for
they
that
falls
often
in
lypothimy
or
swowning
without
a
manifest
cause
,
dies
in
end
suddenly
,
because
of
the
debilitie
of
the
vital
faculty
.
Canon
XVIII
.
The
coction
of
the
humor
appearing
in
the
excrements
of
the
sicke
,
signifies
the
crise
to
be
shortly
with
an
assurance
of
health
.
But
the
crudity
denotes
either
that
there
shall
be
no
crise
,
or
that
the
patient
is
mightily
troubled
or
that
the
disease
shall
be
longer
,
or
afterward
it
shall
returne
,
or
that
death
shall
follow
on
it
.
For
as
when
the
coction
is
made
,
when
nature
is
victorious
,
of
the
causes
of
the
disease
,
so
the
contrar
befalls
when
shee
is
overcome
by
them
.
So
the
foecall
mater
beeing
soft
,
aequall
,
and
yellow
,
and
not
having
an
evill
smell
is
judged
to
be
good
,
because
it
is
well
digested
.
Suchlyke
the
water
of
a
mediocer
consistence
of
colour
some
what
yellow
,
having
grounds
whyt
,
vnited
and
aequall
is
reput
singulare
good
,
because
it
beares
witnes
of
the
digestion
,
of
the
humour
vitious
and
consequently
of
the
victorie
of
nature
over
it
,
in
the
contrar
the
dejection
liquid
and
waterie
whyt
and
pale
,
is
reput
evill
,
because
it
is
crude
or
raw
,
as
also
the
vrine
waterie
,
and
small
whyt
and
shyning
out
of
measure
is
not
good
,
because
it
is
raw
,
and
without
digestion
.
Canon
XIX
.
When
the
excrements
of
the
sicke
are
not
verie
different
from
the
excrements
of
the
whole
,
it
showes
the
disease
to
be
light
,
but
if
there
be
a
verie
great
difference
yee
must
apprehend
the
disease
to
be
deadly
.
For
the
excrements
much
different
,
showes
nature
to
be
overcome
by
the
greatnes
of
the
disease
.
Therefore
the
foecall
mater
black
,
livid
,
green
&
stinking
are
mortall
,
because
they
are
whole
alienat
from
there
naturall
constitution
and
the
water
that
is
blacke
and
thicke
and
troubled
as
that
of
oxen
are
most
evill
,
because
extreamly
removed
from
the
naturall
.
The
same
mixed
in
colour
foreshowes
a
long
disease
,
for
they
denote
diverse
indispositions
caused
of
diverse
humors
,
and
therefore
it
is
necessar
that
nature
imploy
a
long
tyme
to
the
coction
having
so
many
enemies
to
combat
with
.
The
vrine
in
the
which
yee
see
grease
swiming
like
Spider
webs
,
are
thought
evill
,
because
they
declare
a
melting
of
the
body
by
an
extraordinar
heat
:
Canon
XX.
Sweats
are
good
in
all
sharp
or
fierie
diseases
when
they
fal
out
on
the
critick
days
,
and
causeth
the
fever
wholly
to
cease
:
they
are
good
also
when
they
make
the
disease
more
easie
to
the
Patient
providing
they
be
vniversall
.
But
this
which
brings
no
ease
and
serves
to
no
vse
,
also
these
that
are
cold
and
appeares
only
about
the
head
,
the
face
,
and
neck
are
most
evill
:
for
in
a
hot
fyrie
and
quick
fever
they
prognostick
death
,
and
in
a
gentle
the
longnes
of
the
disease
:
a
cold
sweat
running
without
ceasing
in
great
aboundance
,
is
a
marke
of
long
disease
,
because
it
comes
of
a
great
quantity
of
a
grosse
and
cold
mater
,
which
cannot
easily
bee
dissipat
,
neither
dantoned
by
the
naturall
heat
:
as
a
hote
sweat
wils
a
short
disease
,
being
caused
of
a
subtile
mater
,
which
matter
in
short
space
will
bee
dissolved
.
Canon
XXI
.
If
the
visage
of
the
sick
bee
like
to
the
countenance
of
whole
persons
,
it
is
a
very
excellent
signe
,
chiefly
if
it
looke
like
it self
being
whole
.
In
the
contrare
,
it
is
a
verie
evill
signe
when
it
is
different
from
the
naturall
,
and
when
it
is
hideous
to
behold
,
as
it
is
then
when
the
nose
is
sharpe
,
the
eyes
hollow
,
the
temples
abaited
,
the
eares
cold
and
drawne
in
,
the
lap
of
the
eare
turned
,
the
skin
of
the
face
hard
extended
and
dry
,
the
colour
of
the
face
pale
or
blacke
,
livid
or
lead
coloured
.
For
if
this
deformity
do
not
proceed
of
a
manifest
cause
,
as
of
lack
of
sleepe
or
meat
,
or
of
a
flux
of
the
bellie
,
without
doubt
it
presages
death
to
be
near
,
seing
this
great
extenuation
is
made
by
the
malignity
of
the
disease
.
Canon
XXII
.
Where
there
is
perceived
a
change
through
the
whole
body
,
so
that
it
is
now
cold
,
then
hot
,
sometime
of
one
colour
then
of
another
,
it
foretels
a
long
disease
.
For
the
indisposition
diversly
mixed
,
are
still
longer
then
these
that
are
of
a
fast
forme
or
fashion
,
for
nature
cannot
danton
moe
at
once
.
Now
the
changing
of
qualities
and
humors
,
demonstrats
the
disease
to
bee
caused
of
diverse
humors
,
in
the
coction
whereof
,
nature
hath
need
to
imploy
much
time
:
for
according
to
the
varietie
of
humors
within
,
there
appeares
varietie
of
colours
without
.
Canon
XXIII
.
It
is
a
good
signe
to
have
the
hypochondres
(
that
is
,
the
space
vnder
the
short
ribs
)
on
either
side
soft
,
equall
,
and
without
dolour
:
but
verie
evill
to
haue
them
hard
,
bended
,
inequall
and
painefull
,
for
as
the
former
shews
the
good
temperature
of
the
epigastrick
muscells
,
of
the
mesentary
,
the
liver
,
the
melt
,
and
the
stomacke
:
so
the
latter
declares
an
intemperature
,
to
wit
,
an
inflammation
,
a
skirrh
or
wind
to
bee
in
these
parts
.
In
all
diseases
it
is
good
that
the
parts
about
the
navell
,
and
the
inferior
part
of
the
bellie
bee
grosse
,
fat
,
and
in
good
case
,
but
evill
when
they
are
extenuat
and
leane
,
for
the
hypocondres
grosse
and
fleshie
are
markes
of
force
:
but
the
small
and
extenuat
are
evill
,
both
as
signes
and
as
causes
:
forasmuch
as
they
are
signes
of
the
debilitie
of
the
parts
extenuat
,
and
causes
that
the
digestion
is
not
well
elaborat
in
the
stomack
,
nor
the
sanguification
in
the
lever
,
for
the
grossenesse
or
fatnesse
of
the
epigastre
or
low
parts
of
the
belly
augments
the
natural
heat
,
by
the
which
the
parts
within
being
warmed
they
digest
better
the
meat
,
and
so
makes
better
blood
.
Canon
XXIV
.
As
to
the
consideration
of
these
things
that
fals
out
in
the
body
,
if
yee
remarke
any
good
signe
,
yee
must
not
thinke
for
that
,
that
assuredly
the
sick
shall
escape
,
neither
although
there
do
appeare
any
evill
signes
that
hee
shall
die
,
for
a
good
signe
may
bee
over
weighted
by
an
evill

great
:
And
on
the

,
an
evill

be
overcome

a

Canon

.
The

quyts
the
sick
either
wholly
at
once
by
way
of
crise
,
or
by
litle
and
litle
by
way
of

.
Crise
is
a
suddaine
change
of
the
disease
into
health
,
or
else
into
death
,
which
is
then
when
nature
separats
the
vitious
humours
from
the
good
,
and
that
for
to
expell
them
,
Of
it
there
bee
two
sorts
,
the
one
is
by
excretion
,
and
the
other
by
absesse
,
that
comes
by
a
flux
of

Canon

.
The
good
crise
arives
on
the
7.14
.
or
20
day
,
wherefore
these
dayes
are
called
Criticks
.
The
future
crise
was
foreseene
by
the
signes
of
digestion
,
appearing
the
4.11
.
and
17.
day
:
hence
these
dayes
are
called

the

the

the

is
also
remarkable
,
because
the

also
to
bee
observed
,
because

Canon

.
When
the
crise
is
to
bee
on
the
7.
day
,
there
is
perceived
on
the
fourth
day
preceding
a
red
cloud
in
the
water
,
and
other
signes
correspondent
:
for
because
the
4.
day
is
the
pointer
out
of
the
7.
if
there
appeare
any
signe
of
concoction
that
day
,
it
forwarnes
the
crise
to
bee
on
the
7.
day
.
Where
then
there
appeares
a
clowd
in
the
water
not
only
red
but
whyt
,
and
yet
rather
a
whyt
hypostasies
or
ground
,
vnited
and
equall
,
if
so
bee
the
motion
of
the
sicknesse
bee
suddaine
,
it
is
a
presage
of
the
future
crise
.
When
the
crise
draws
neare
,
the
night
preceeding
is
verie
troublesome
,
but
that
which
follows
is
ordinarly
more
easie
to
indure
.
For
while
nature
is
making
a
separation
betwixt
the
good
and
evill
humors
that
fals
out
,
that
in
this
exercise
of
nature
the
disease
is
much
troubled
.
But
so
it
is
that
this
great
worke
appeares
,
the
night
before
the
crise
,
because
the
sleepe
is
interrupted
:
but
the
night
that
follows
the
crise
perfyte
,
they
are
much
more
at
their
owne
ease
,
because
nature
is
disburdened
of
superfluous
humors
,
Canon
XXVIII
.
The
vniversall
signes
by
the
which
one
discernes
the
espece
of
the
crise
to
come
,
are
taken
from
the
kind
of
the
disease
,
from
the
part
that
is
diseased
,
and
from
the
nature
of
the
Patient
:
For
hot
and
quicke
diseases
,
are
ordinarly
judged
by
excretion
,
but
the
cold
and
long
by
abscesse
.
If
there
bee
an
inflammation
in
the
gibbous
part
of
the
lever
,
yee
must
expect
a
crise
by
a
flux
of
blood
at
the
right
nostrile
,
or
by
a
flux
of
the
vrine
,
if
the
inflammation
bee
in
the
hollow
part
of
it
,
then
yee
must
expect
it
by
a
flux
of
the
belly
,
or
vomishment
,
or
sweat
.
The
inflammations
of
the
braine
and
of
all
the
head
,
are
commonly
judged
by
an
haemorragie
at
the
nose
,
but
that
of
the
stomack
and
mesenterie
by
vomishment
,
or
a
flux
downeward
.
Moreover
a
flux
of
blood
fals
oftenest
to
young
men
cholericks
,
overtaken
with
a

,
and
a

of

the

.
A

of

But
if
there
be
no
signe
of
a
paritude
,
and
that
the
sicke
hath
had
his
vrine
of
a
long
tyme
cleare
and
vndigested
,
and
when
he
finds
a
heavinesse
,
a
paine
,
a
bending
or
tension
,
a
heat
in
the
hypochondres
,
ye
must
exspect
an
absesse
in
the
lower
pairts
.
If
any
part
of
the
bodie
hath
beene
hurt
before
,
there
shall
the
aposteme
or
absesse
be
.
An
absesse
falls
out
most
frequently
in
winter
and
after
on
imperfyt
crise
.
Canon
XXIX
.
Moreover
,
a
good
crise
ought
to
be
signified
before
in
the
day
of
indication
and
should
fall
out
in
a
critike
day
,
with
a
manifest
excretion
,
or
notable
absesse
:
without
dangerous
accidents
.
It
ought
also
to
be
perfyt
.
I
call
a
perfyt
crise
,
that
which
evacuats
all
the
vitious
mater
.
And
on
imperfyt
,
that
which
evacuats
but
one
part
for
the
former
is
sure
,
but
you
must
not
beleeve
the
latter
,
for
the
evill
humors
remaining
after
a
crise
,
are
wont
to
make
one
recidiwe
.
Moreover
a
crise
is
iudged
to
be
good
by
reason
of
the
convenable
qualitie
and
reasonable
quantity
,
with
the
forme
agreable
,
and
the
time
opportune
.
A
crise
is
knowne
to
be
perfyt
and
assured
by
the
restablishing
of
the
functions
naturalls
,
vitals
and
animalls
,
by
the
coction
of
the
excrements
,
or
by
qualitie
or
forme
of
the
body
reduced
and
made
conforme
to
the
naturall
.
Canon
XXX
.
Yee
must
not
trust
to
any
ease
,
or
aleagment
which
falls
without
cause
,
nor
feare
evill
symptomes
ariving
against
reason
,
for
the
most
part
of
those
are
inconstant
and
doth
not
last
a
long
time
:
for
when
any
vehement
diseases
ceaseth
of
the
selfe
without
any
evacuation
,
either
by
sweat
,
vomit
,
flux
downward
,
or
hemorrage
vpward
,
or
without
any
signe
of
concoction
one
must
not
take
that
ease
to
be
assured
,
neither
must
one
beleeve
to
it
seing
it
doth
threaten
with
something
of
greater
evill
which
follow
thereon
.
As
also
one
must
not
be
affraighted
of
the
evills
that
befalls
without
,
or
rather
contrare
reason
,
as
difficultie
of
breathing
,
raverie
,
shiviring
reduplication
of
the
fever
,
seing
they
are
not
constant
nor
of
long
last
,
and
so
farre
from
signifying
any
thing
evill
,
that
on
the

they
presage
often
a

crise
which
shall
arive

The
right
methode
of
curing
the
disease
.
Canon
I.
WHosever
will
exactly
keepe
the
method
of
right
proceeding
in
the
cure
,
ought
to
begin
at
the
first
indications
,
then
come
to
those
that
followes
them
.
Afterward
to
the
next
and
never
leave
off
,
till
they
haue
come
to
the
end
pretended
.
Wee
take
heere
indication
for
that
which
serves
to
teach
vs
the
way
in
the
cure
of
the
disease
,
to
attaine
to
health
.
Canon
II.
The
forces
before
all
things
ought
to
be
keeped
in
those
who
are
diseased
:
after
the
indication
of
the
forces
,
followes
the
consideration
of
the
indisposition
which
is
proposed
to
be
cured
.
The
forces
wills
allways
their
conservation
,
and
the
indisposition
its
ablation
.
Now
as
the
forces
are
keeped
or
conserved
by
their
like
so
the
indisposition
is
taken
away
by
the
contrary
.
Canon
III.
In
all
diseases
where
the
efficient
cause
is
yet
present
,
you
must
begin
your
cure
at
the
same
for
it
is
impossible
to
cure
perfytly
any
disease
,
whileas
the
cause
that
doth
ingender
it
,
is
present
:
so
the
maladies
ceaseth
never
till
the
evill
humors
ingendring
them
bee
banished
,
which
doth
lurke
within
the
body
.
Canon
IV.
After
the
taking
away
of
the
cause
,
you
must
next
turne
you
to
the
disease
ingendred
of
the
cause
,
keeping
for
a
generall
rule
,
first
the
ablation
of
the
cause
efficient
,
and
next
of
the
maladie
.
Canon
V.
The
cure
of
the
symptome
is
never
first
intended
,
but
alwayes
that
of
the
maladie
which
causeth
the
symptome
.
Yet
when
the
symptome
minaceth
with
death
,
or
greater
and
suddainer
danger
then
the
disease
it selfe
,
the
cure
of
it
may
bee
first
attempted
.
Canon
VI.
While
as
the
disease
is
growing
,
wee
must
hinder
the
growth
of
it
,
and
take
away
that
part
that
is
already
ingendred
.
The
generation
of
that
which
is
to
come
,
is
hindred
by
taking
away
the
cause
antecedent
,
and
the
maladie
alreadie
ingendred
is
banished
by
taking
away
the
cause
conjoynt
.
Canon
VII
.
In
all
diseases
caused
of
fluxion
,
yee
must
first
stoppe
that
which
floweth
yet
:
next
draw
foorth
that
which
already
is
flowed
.
Therefore
the
cure
of
a
phlegmon
,
catarrhe
,
and
of
all
other
diseases
that
are
caused
by
a
fluxion
,
lookes
all
to
two
buts
,
the
first
is
,
that
the
humour
which
runneth
yet
bee
stayed
,
the
other
,
that
that
part
of
it
which
is
already
in
the
part
bee
evacuat
.
Canon
VIII
.
In
all
diseases
complicate
,
the
one
whereof
cannot
be
cured
without
the
other
,
there
must
respect
bee
holden
to
order
:
now
method
or
order
requyres
still
the
cure
of
that
first
,
which
hindreth
the
cure
of
the
other
:
as
if
a
phlegmon
were
accompanied
with
a
vlcer
,
yee
must
first
take
away
that
,
then
cicatrize
this
.
Canon
IX
.
When
two
indications
are
directly
opposit
one
to
another
,
yee
must
not
regard
so
the
one
,
that
yee
misregard
the
other
,
but
rather
having
as
good
mind
of
this
as
of
that
,
make
a
mixture
as
equall
as
ye
can
.
As
for
example
,
if
one
be
troubled
by
two
so
contrarie
diseases
,
that
the
one
desires
a
hot
,
the
other
a
cold
remead
,
yee
must
then
make
vse
of
one
temperat
,
to
that
end
it
do
harme
neither
to
the
one
nor
to
the
other
,
but
rather
help
both
.
So
when
the
stomack
is
cold
,
and
the
lever
over
hot
,
things
temperat
are
convenable
,
and
all
that
is
mixtioned
of
hot
and
cold
things
:
or
the
alternative
vse
of
the
one
and
the
other
.
Hence
is
it
that
when
a
phlegmon
is
in
its
grouth
,
there
is
mixed
repercussives
with
digestives
.
Canon
X.
When
there
is
remarked
a
repugnance
among
the
indications
,
after
you
haue
well
considred
that
which
is
taken
from
the
forces
,
and
also
the
indication
of
the
cause
,
the
disease
,
thou
shall
follow
the
most
important
of
all
,
not
neglecting
howsoever
the
other
.
Canon
XI
.
It
is
a
maxime
most
necessarie
,
that
commands
to
cure
first
the
most
importunat
danger
,
(
For
the
indisposition
,
that
is
the
first
&
principall
cause
of
precipitating
the
diseased
in
any
danger
,
ought
first
to
bee
helped
.
)
Wherefore
excessive
watching
,
cruell
paine
,
all
evacuation
out
of
measure
,
chiefly
of
blood
,
the
suppression
of
superfluities
,
and
other
like
symptomes
,
which
weakens
the
forces
,
and
augments
the
disease
,
in
such
sort
,
that
there
may
arrive
quickly
some
danger
,
constraines
often
the
Physitian
to
quyt
the
cure
of
the
sicknesse
to
occur
to
these
symptomes
.
Canon
XII
.
The
generall
method
of
curing
diseases
is
accomplished
by
the
convenable
quantity
and
quality
of
the
remedies
,
with
the
maner
and
time
of
vsing
of
them
.
Canon
XIII
.
It
is
requyred
that
all
the
remedies
bee
contrare
in
quality
to
the
disease
,
for
contraria
,
contrariis
curantur
.
For
if
all
that
which
is
immoderat
be
contrare
to
nature
,
and
that
which
is
moderat
agreeable
to
nature
:
of
necessitie
it
will
follow
that
that
which
is
out
of
measure
must
bee
brought
to
measure
by
its
contrare
in
like
degree
out
of
measure
.
Hence
is
it
that
all
diseases
ingendred
of
repletion
,
are
cured
by
evacuation
:
and
these
that
proceed
of
evacuation
by
repletion
,
and
such
like
of
the
rest
.
Canon
XIV
.
The
temper
of
the
body
diseased
with
the
disease
it selfe
,
shews
the
measure
of
the
contrarietie
:
forasmuch
as
it
is
not
enough
to
apply
cold
remedies
to
a
hot
disease
:
if
that
be
not
done
with
a
measure
reasonable
,
otherwise
not
equall
in
measure
,
it
is
to
bee
feared
that
there
remaine
some
portion
of
the
disease
,
or
being
excessive
that
one
disease
contrar
to
the
other
bee
moved
:
For
to
occur
to
this
wee
must
know
the
nature
of
the
body
,
that
is
to
be
handled
to
that
end
that
vnderstanding
how
farre
the
disease
exceeds
mediocritie
,
one
may
exactly
measure
the
proportion
of
the
refrigeratiue
remedie
.
Therefore
the
quantity
of
everie
remead
ought
to
be
measured
according
to
the
complexion
of
the
sick
,
and
the
greatnesse
of
the
sicknesse
.
Canon
XV.
The
contrare
remedies
must
be
put
in
vse
litle
by
litle
,
and
now
and
then
make
intermission
,
for
it
is
dangerous
to
evacuat
all
at
once
,
or
yet
to
fill
,
to
heat
,
or
coole
,
or
to
chang
the
bodie
suddenly
in
any
other
maner
,
for
all
that
which
is
excessive
is
enemie
to
nature
,
but
that
which
is
done
by
litle
and
litle
,
is
without
danger
,
for
it
is
therefore
surer
to
serve
your selfe
moderatly
of
contrarie
remedies
,
then
to
vse
excessively
and
suddainly
,
for
as
much
as
nature
doeth
not
suffer
sudden
changes
without
hazarde
.
Canon
XVI
:
When
diseases
are
in
the
beginning
,
then
move
that
which
seemes
good
to
be
moved
,
but
when
they
are
in
their
vigour
,
it
is
better
to
let
them
alone
in
rest
,
for
it
is
more
expedient
to
vse
remedies
in
the
begining
,
then
in
hight
of
the
disease
,
for
two
reasons
,
the
one
because
the
accidents
are
weaker
at
the
entres
and
at
the
end
,
then
in
the
hight
:
the
other
,
because
nature
whollie
imployed
at
that
time
about
the
coction
and
excretion
of
the
humor
noysome
,
ought
not
to
be
diverted
or
hindered
by
any
remeed
,
for
seing
the
digestion
is
then
,
it
is
better
in
the
beginning
to
evacuat
a
part
of
the
humour
vitious
,
that
nature
may
the
more
easily
overcome
the
rest
:
but
when
the
maladie
is
in
its
vigour
,
nature
occupied
alreadie
about
the
concoction
,
it
is
no
more
tyme
to
vse
evacuation
.
Canon
XVII
.
If
the
espece
of
the
sicknes
be
so
obscure
that
thou
can
not
take
it
vp
at
the
first
,
make
no
hast
in
vsing
remedies
,
rather
suffer
nature
to
worke
it
out
her selfe
,
for
being
helped
by
a
good
dyat
,
in
end
shee
shall
banish
the
sickenesse
foorth
.
Where
she
shal
make
it
manifest
.
For
a
remead
vncertaine
and
doubtfull
cannot
be
ordained
,
without
prejudice
.
If
perhaps
thou
be
constrained
to
vse
one
at
the
least
,
let
it
be
light
,
to
that
end
,
that
if
it
be
not
profitable
,
at
the
least
it
be
not
hurtfull
.
Canon
XVIII
.
A
simple
cure
is
sufficient
for
a
simple
disease
,
but
when
it
is
composed
with
an
other
,
then
it
requyres
a
composed
remeed
.
Canon
XIX
.
For
the
accomplishing
of
the
cure
it
is
not
enough
that
the
physition
doe
his
duetie
but
that
the
sick
also
&
they
that
are
about
him
,
that
there
be
nothing
wanting
of
that
which
is
required
,
for
it
is
requisit
that
the
diseased
strive
to
fight
with
the
disease
,
with
the
medicine
,
and
so
obey
him
,
and
not
give
way
to
his
pleasures
,
hauing
about
him
people
sitting
for
his
service
,
being
wel
lodged
,
and
furnished
with
commodities
needfull
.
Canon
XX.
The
medicine
that
doth
all
things
according
to
reason
,
although
that
things
succeed
not
according
to
expectation
,
ought
not
to
change
his
bute
,
or

proposed
in
his
method
purposed
from

.
For
that
is
but
small
wisdome
to
quyt
lightly
that
which
seemde
expedient
although
the
successe
hath
not
bene
according
to
exspectation
,
for
as
the
marke
of
a
drop
of
water
falling
on
a
stone
,
doth
not
appeare
sensiblie
,
but
after
a
long
space
it
falls
,
even
so
in
raw
or
vndigested
diseases
which
receives
no
coction
,
but
with
difficultie
,
vnto
the
which
when
reason
hath
found
that
which
is
conveniable
,
according
to
all
indications
considered
one

one
must
not

course
intended

although
there
hath
no

if
that
some

which
doeth
constraine
to

for
wee
haue
reason
to
vse
the
remedies
which
those
indications
did
furnish
.
Canon
XXI
.
There
be
three
sorts
of
remedies
,
by
the
which
all
indispositions
are
cured
that
be
curable
,
to
wit
by
dyat
,
by
chirurgie
or
manuall
operation
,
and
pharmacie
or
remeeds
outward
and
inward
,
it
is
needfull
that
the
diat
be
repugnant
to
the
sicknesse
and
familiar
to
nature
,
for
wholesome
food
is
that
which
is
contrare
to
that
,
which
is
contrare
to
nature
,
and
like
to
that
which
is
according
to
nature
,
so
hot
meates
are
conveneable
to
cold
diseases
,
and
cold
meats
in
hot
diseases
,
moist
or
humid
meates
,
for
the
dry
,
and
drying
,
for
the
weake
and
moist
,
wherefore
it
is
expedient
to
prescribe
a
strait
dyat
to
fat
fleshie
peoeple
for
such
a
dyat
dryeth
.
Canon
XXII
.
Meat
and
drinke
more
pleasant
to
the
taste
,
but
lesse
profitable
is
to
be
preferred
to
that
which
is
more
profitable
and
pleasant
,
for
one
must
sometime
permit
meats
which
are
not
best
,
not
onely
to
gratifie
the
sicke
but
also
for
his
further
good
,
because
the
stomacke
imbraces
more
straitly
and
keepes
better
the
meat
that
wee
take
willingly
,
and
with
great
contentment
,
yea
disgests
it
better
.
In
the
contrare
,
it
rejects
with
disdaine
these
things
that
are
disagreeable
to
the
taste
because
they
moue
a
prease
of
vomiting
,
or
cause
some
fluctuating
,
or
inflation
in
the
stomack
,
therefore
wee
must
pleasure
the
sicke
in
things
that
are
not
verie
hurtfull
.
Canon
XXIII
.
In
the
ordaining
of
the
dyat

there
must
respect
bee
had
of

for
things
of

long
time
accustomed
,
although
worse
,
commonly
hurts
lesse
then
these
which

Canon
XXIV
.
When
the
disease
is
in
its
vigour
,
it
is
necessar
then
to
vse
a
verie
slender

weake
dyat

as
for

wee

natures

of

by
the
coction
of
the
meat
.
Canon
XXV
.
When
the
disease
is
violent
and
quick
,
it
causes
incontinent
extreame
paine
and
dolour
,
wherefore
wee
must
vse
a
most
sharpe
and
weake
dyat
,
because
such
a
disease
is
in
the
vigour
the
first
dayes
,
as
the
grievous
symptomes
which
doe
incontinently
accompanie
it
from
the
beginning
beares
witnesse
.
For
a
most
sharpe
sicknes
is
that
which
attaines
to
its
hight
,
that
is
,
in
the
first
foure
dayes
or
little
after
.
Canon
XXVI
.
So
soone
as
the
sicknesse
by
its
violence
doth
show
that
it
is
drawing
near
the
hight
then
a
strait
dyat
must
be
injoyned
:
but
when
the
hight
is
long
in
comming
as
it
fals
out
in
long
diseases
,
then
a
more
large
dyat
would
bee
vsed
,
till
the
approaching
of
the
hight
,
or
a
little
before
,
and
then
yee
must
restraine
it
.
Strait
and
small
dyats
are
stil
dangerous
in
long
diseases
,
because
they
abait
the
forces
which
ought
to
be
conserved
in
their
integrity
,
to
that
end
it
may
resist
to
the
length
of
the
disease
.
Canon
XXVII
.
When
the
bodie
is
not
cleane
,
the
more
you
nourish
it
,
the
more
yee
hurt
it
:
for
seeing
the
body
full
of
vicious
humors
,
hath
more
need
of
evacuation
then
nutrition
:
it
appeares
that
they
should
not
be
too
much
nourished
,
because
these
evill
humors
gathered
a
long
time
in
the
body
,
spoyles
the
food
newly
received
:
so
that
thereby
the
cacochymie
is
augmented
to
the
double
,
which
fals
out
chiefly
then
when
the
stomack
is
foule
:
for
even
as
mixing
of
cleare
water
with
muddy
,
it
becomes
al
muddy
and
troubled
:
even
so
the
meat
,
although
pure
and
cleane
of
it selfe
,
yet
taken
in
to
great
quantity
in
a
foule
body
,
becomes
wholly
corrupt
.
Canon
XXVIII
.
A
larger
dyat
must
be
granted
to
bairnes
then
old
folke
,
and
a
mediocre
,
to
these
of
a
middle
age
:
because
that
old
men
indures
easily
hunger
,
next
to
them
that
are
at
the
entry
of
the
declining
age
,
worse
then
these
young
men
,
worst
of
all
boyes
:
for
they
that
are
growing
hath
much
of
the
natural
heat
,
and
therefore
hath
much
need
of
nourishment
,
otherwise
their
body
should
consume
,
but
there
is
but
little
heat
in
old
bodies
:
wherefore
they
need
not
much
nourishment
,
because
that
too
much
should
choake
it
.
Canon
XXIX
.
The
great
cavities
in
the
body
,
in
Winter
and
in
the
Spring
,
are
naturallie
hoter
then
at
any
other
time
,
and
the
sleep
longer
:
wherefore
in
these
the
dyat
may
bee
larger
,
(
heere
by
the
cavities
wee
must
vnderstand
the
stomacke
,
the
whole
bellie
containing
the
puddings
,
and
the
rest
of
the
naturall
parts
that
are
appointed
for
digestion
.
)
But
if
yee
desire
to
know
why
the
natural
heat
is
augmented
in
Winter
,
Arist.
attributs
the
cause
to
the
circumsisting
air
,
that
is
colder
chasing
by
this
meanes
the
naturall
heat
inward
,
while
as
in
the
Summer
it
extends
the
selfe
ordinarly
through
the
whole
body
towards
the
heat
that
is
without
as
familiar
to
it
.
Hence
is
it
that
in
the
Summer
its
substance
is
dissipat
and
exhals
,
but
in
Winter
it
is
holden
in
and
keeped
there
,
and
therefore
all
the
coctions
are
the
better
made
.
Canon
XXX
.
As
to
the
forme
and
maner
of
dyat
,
one
should
eat
lesse
in
the
Summer
&
the
Harvest
&
ofter
,
but
in
the
Winter
and
Spring
more
seldome
,
but
more
aboundantly
:
because
in
the
Summer
and
the
Harvest
hardly
doth
one
digest
meat
,
in
Winter
verie
easily
,
but
in
the
Spring
some
way
well
.
Canon
XXXI
.
Yee
must
nourish
gentlie

repare
by
little

the

that

Canon
XXXII
.
You
must
give
meat
to
the
sick
when
as
the
sicknesse
gives
intermission
or
release
,
&
during
the
accesse
abstaine
from
giving
▪
for
meat
then
is
hurtfull
,
because
that
it
withdraws
nature
from
the
digestion
of
the
humor
to
the
concoction
of
the
nouritour
,
as
also
because
by
it
the
cause
of
the
disease
is
augmented
.
Canon
XXXIII
.
Among
the
operations
of
chirurgerie
,
phlebotomie
,
or
drawing
of
blood
,
keepes
the
first
rank
:
because
it
is
the
common
remead
of
diseases
which
proceeds
of
plenitud
or
fulnesse
,
for
by
it
an
evacuation
is
made
of
the
humors
equally
,
being
for
this
the
most
exquisit
of
all
other
meanes
.
Canon
XXXIV
.
Phlebotomie
is
not
only
a
remead
evacuative
,
but
also
revulsive
and
derivative
:
for
it
is
profitable
when
wee
turne
the
course
of
the
flux
to
the
opposit
part
,
or
desires
to
turne
it
asid
to
the
neighbour
part
.
Canon
XXXV
.
Wee
must
draw
blood
in
hot
fevers
'till
the
spirits
faile
and
heart
saint
,
if
so
bee
the
forces
bee
strong
,
also
in
great
inflammations
and
extreame
paines
:
for
if
one
draw
blood
in
hot
fevers
till
the
heart
faint
,
all
the
body
is
incontinent
cooled
,
and
the
vehement
heat
extinguished
,
to
diverse
after
it
,
there
followeth
a
flux
of
the
bellie
and
a
sweat
.
By
this
meanes
some
are
wholly
freed
of
the
fever
,
others
receives
great
ease
,
the
vehemencie
of
their
sicknesse
having
passed
.
This
sort
of
bleeding
is
likewise
good
in
great
inflammations
,
both
for
the
former
reasons
,
and
for
that
it
stops
the
flux
causing
the
inflammation
,
and
so
hinders
the
growth
of
the
phlegmon
:
by
this
same
it
appeaseth
the
great
dolours
caused
of
the
heat
of
the
fever
,
and
of
the
inflamtions
:
wherefore
there
is
not
found
a
remead
more
soveraine
for
insupportable
dolours
,
than
it
.
Canon
XLV
.
You
must
draw
much
blood
,
if
the
sicknesse
doeth
vrge
and
the
forces
doe
permit
,
if
not
by
litle
and
litle

at
diverse
tymes

for
all
extreame

cheifly
bleeding

Canon
XXXVII
.
They
to
whom
purging
and
blood
drawing
is
profitable
,
ought
to
be
purged
and
bled
in
the
spring
.
For
that
season
is
very
proper
to
make
evacuation
by
phlebotomie
or
pharmacie
,
because
that
at
that
time
there
is
no
extraordinar
heat
for
to
weaken
the
body
,
by
exhalation
,
nor
great
cold
to
make
it
stiffe
,
by
congealing
the
humors
in
it
,
nor
yet
inaequall
to
disturbe
the
forces
but
rather
a
mediocre
temper

Canon
XXXVIII
.
You
must
not
without
great
cause
or
deliberation
open
a
veine
to
a
woman
with

because
that
a
woman
with

is
broght

the

Strong

hence
the
Romane
oratour
desyrous
to
show
how
a
curagious
man
should
interprise
hazards
,
sayes
,
in
the
presenting
of
himselfe
to
dangers
,
he
must
imitat
the
custome
of
the
medicins
,
that
handles
gently
those
that
are
but
lightly
troubled
,
but
in
greater
diseases
are
constrained
to
make

more
dangerous
and
doubtsome
.
Canon
XLI
.
Wee
must
expell
those
things
that
requyres
to
be
expelled
,
by
the
wayes
most
proper
whither
nature
chiefly
tends
:
and
divert
them
if
they
make
not
there
course
by
the
way
they
ought
:
the
physition
then
ought
curiously
to
mark
the
motion
of
nature
,
and
the
inclination
of
the
humor
,
redounding
:
to
that
end
,
that
if
it
tend
to
any
place
fitting
,
to
help
it
,
&
in
the
contrar
,
if
it
seek
for
one
vnfitting
,
to
hinder
it
and
to
draw
it
off
that
course
.
So
if
phlegmatick
or
melancholick
humors
take
the
course
downeward
and
nature
haue
essayed
already
to
banish
by
the
retract
the
fever
,
the
physition
ought
to
prescribe
a
clister
or
some
other
proper
remead
for
to
stir
vp
nature
,
and
if
a
bilious
humor
bend
vpward
,
and
nature
strive
to
expell
it
at
the
mouth
,
a
vomit
is
expedient
to
be
taken
,
for
that
is
to
draw
thither
the
humor
whither
nature
aimes
cheifly
,
and
if
yee
doe
otherwise
,
you
shall
change
the
order
and
course
of
nature
,
constraine
the
forces
,
and
put
the
sicke
in
hazard
.
Canon
XLII
.
In
very
sharpe
sicknesse
yee
must
purge
the
same
day
,
if
the
humor
be
moved
.
For
it
is
not
good
to
dryve
over
time
,
then
,
as
sayes
Hip.
for
feare
least
the
evill
grow
,
the
forces
become
weaker
,
and
the
wandring
humors
cease
on
some
noble
part
.
When
then
in
most
sharpe
or
violent
diseases
,
wee
perceive
nature
to
bee
touched
with
a
great
and
ardent
desire
to
discharge
the
selfe
of
the
superfluous
humors
,
wee
must
purge
incontinent
.
And
because
that
that
desire
doth
not
often
overtake
nature
to
disburden
the
selfe
of
vitious
humors
,
in
the
beginning
of
such
diseases
wee
must
advise
well
to
vse
purgations
at
such
a
time
of
such
a
sicknesse
.
Canon
XLIII
.
When
you
are
to
purge
the
bodie
,
you
must
prepare
the
body
before
&
make
the
humors
fluxile
:
other
wayes
the
purgation
wil
not
be
without
great
paine
&
difficultie
,
grinding
of
the
bellie
,
inquyetud
,
fainting
,
debilitie
of
the
pulse
,
and
dissolution
of
the
forces
:
Now
for
to
make
the
body
fluxile
,
you
must
open
all
the
passages
of
it
,
and
make
the
grosse
humors
liquid
that
are
within
.
Canon
XLIV
.
You
must
purge
the
humors
digested
and
prepared
,
not
the
raw
and
vnprepared
,
neither
in
the
beginning
of
any
disease
,
except
they
be
moved
and
haue
no
fixed
place
.
For
as
nature
is
by
no
meanes
moved
to
the
evacuating
of
any
humor
:
except
it
have
first
prepared
the
mater
,
so
the
physitian
ought
to
purge
the
mater
that
is
digested
,
not
that
which
is
vndigested
,
because
vndigested
humors
are
slow
to
be
moved
,
by
reason
of
their
viscositie
and
grossenesse
,
so
that
they
stop
the
passages
that
goes
from
the
extremities
of
the
body
to
the
belly
,
from
the
which
the
medicine
doeth
draw
them
,
and
by
this
meanes
moves
troublesome
symptomes
by
their
not
going
foorth
.
Canon
XLV
.
You
must
purge
women
with
child
,
if
the
mater
be
moved
betwixt
the
fourth
,
and
seventh
moneth
,
but
sooner
or
later
,
is
to
be
feared
,
for
the
infant
is
fastned
to
the
matrix
of
the
mother
,
after
the
same
maner
that
the
fruits
are
to
the
trees
,
fruites
newlie
budded
hath
there
stalk
so
tender
,
that
being
beaten
by
any
violent
wind
,
they
fall
easily
to
the
ground
:
but
with
tyme
being
more
firmely
fixed
,
they
fall
not
so
easily
,
vntill
the
time
they
become
vnto
there
maturitie
,
and
then
they
fall
off
themselues
without
violence
.
Even
so
fares
it
with
women
incontinent
after
their
conception
,
if
they
leape
or
fall
in
any
sliprie
part
,
or
yet
move
by
any
meanes
either
the
spirit
or
the
body
,
their
new
conception
easily
falleth
foorth
,
So
fares
it
,
with
them
,
when
the
children
are
great
.
But
in
the
mid
terme
of
their
time
they
are
with
chylde
,
they
adheare
faster
to
the
matrix
,
&
are
not
so
subject
to
be
expelled
:
wherefore
women
with
child
,
may
suffer
stronger
motions
at
that
time
without
hurting
their
fruite
,
and
so
may
be
better
purged
.
Canon
XLVI
.
When
the
crise
is
,
or
when
it
hath
already
bene
and
the
humors
are
finally
expelled
,
we
must
move
nothing
,
nor
chang
nothing
,
neither
by
physicke
nor
any
other
thing
that
may
irritat
nature
,
but
rather
suffer
nature
to
worke
it
out
her selfe
:
for
seing
the
crise
is
a
worke
of
nature
,
and
not
of
the
physitian
,
when
shee
is
about
it
,
or
hath
already
obsolved
it
,
the
physitian
ought
to
move
nothing
,
but
rather
suffer
her
for
feare
of
troubling
her
action
,
which
she
is
whollie
imployed
about
the
bussines
.
But
if
the
crise
hath
bene
vnperfyt
,
it
is
the
duetie
of
the
medicine
to
purge
that
which
rests
of
the
vitious
humors
fearing
least
by
processe
of
time
,
putrifying
within
the
body
,
they
renew
the
sicknesse
.
Canon
XLVII
.
During
the
caniculare
dayes
,
laxative
medicines
are
not
good
,
for
all
strong
purgations
are
hardly
supported
that
time
,
for
three
reasons
.
The
first
because
all
purgatives
being
naturally
hot
,
inflammes
the
body
already
warme
by
the
heat
of
the
aire
.
The
second
is
because
they
dissipat
the
forces
already
weakned
by
the
vehemency
of
the
heat
.
The
third
because
the
action
of
a
purging
medicine
,
&
that
of
the
invironing
aire
are
contrare
,
for
asmuch
as
that

defluxion
on
any
part
that
is
troubled
,
you
must
repell
it
:
wherfore
repercussives
that
haue
vertue
to
bind
are
proper
in
the
beginning
of
any
defluxion
,
for
two
respects
:
the
one
because
they
fortifie
so
the
part
,
that
it
receives
not
so
quickly
the
super
fluities
that
doth
abord
:
the
other
because
they
presse
foorth
the
most
subtile
portion
of
that
which
is
already
placed
there
.
