I.
Of
the
unity
of
the
Stars
of
Generation
and
Transplantation
,
and
of
the
Curing
of
Diseases
.
THe
Stars
of
Generation
are
fourfold
in
regard
of
the
Elements
,
for
every
Element
hath
his
Star
,
vital
principle
and
agent
form
which
produces
divers
effects
which
differ
in
exteriour
form
,
but
are
like
and
every
way
correspondent
in
the
interiour
form
.
Though
there
are
four
of
these
Stars
and
some
diversity
of
Generation
,
yea
the
greatest
difference
of
the
fruits
may
be
beholden
in
the
Elements
,
yet
if
we
examine
the
matter
more
deeply
,
we
shall
find
the
unity
of
the
Stars
and
the
golden
Chain
of
Homer
of
the
whole
World
,
for
the
inferiour
bodies
are
as
the
superiour
are
,
and
the
superiour
are
as
the
inferiour
are
,
Hermes
and
the
Holy
Ghost
bearing
witness
;
because
the
Heaven
conspires
with
the
Earth
,
and
the
Earth
with
the
Heaven
in
all
things
,
who
will
deny
the
unity
of
Nature
,
and
the
Society
of
the
invisible
Nature
with
the
visible
?
wherefore
we
profess
that
all
the
Stars
of
the
Elements
are
only
one
Star
which
have
been
united
from
the
beginning
in
the
fountain
of
unity
;
concerning
that
they
produce
divers
effects
in
divers
places
,
we
do
not
ascribe
it
to
the
diversity
of
the
stars
,
but
to
their
Sciences
,
Gifts
and
interiour
Signatures
.
In
the
general
explication
of
diseases
we
have
mentioned
three
kinds
of
Beings
of
Diseases
;
The
Being
of
Stars
,
the
Being
of
Nature
,
and
the
Being
of
Poison
;
but
wherefore
are
there
these
three
Beings
?
for
there
is
but
one
only
star
of
Transplantation
,
and
there
is
only
one
Nature
which
suffereth
,
yet
not
Nature
it self
but
the
receptacle
and
container
of
it
;
whether
do
more
affect
than
are
affected
?
not
so
,
but
as
in
the
Macrocosm
there
is
a
great
difference
of
the
Generation
and
the
Transplantation
of
fruits
to
be
observed
,
so
also
in
the
Microcosm
the
Generation
and
Transplantation
of
diseases
is
to
be
observed
,
for
there
is
the
same
reason
,
concordance
,
conspiration
and
unity
of
the
stars
of
Transplantation
and
Generation
.
And
from
hence
rises
the
Off
spring
o●
Issue
of
contrariety
,
oppugnance
and
discordance
,
from
hence
also
rises
Hatred
and
Love
,
for
there
is
nothing
in
the
whole
World
which
is
not
connext
with
very
many
things
by
a
natural
bond
,
and
also
repugns
and
is
contrary
to
many
other
;
for
surely
all
things
are
conjoyned
and
agree
,
and
are
linckt
together
by
an
Herculean
knot
,
and
all
things
disagree
with
a
deadly
hatred
;
from
whence
it
comes
to
pass
that
like
things
are
cured
by
like
things
,
and
contraries
are
Remedies
for
contraries
;
because
things
which
agree
do
communicate
their
vertues
and
help
,
so
likewise
contraries
expel
their
contraries
;
which
things
being
so
,
and
the
unity
of
stars
in
the
World
being
celebrated
,
it
makes
one
cure
of
all
diseases
,
being
divided
into
kinds
,
Astral
or
Spiritual
,
Material
or
Corporal
.
Paracelsus
in
his
book
de
morb
.
ament
.
saith
,
that
in
Astral
or
Spiritual
diseases
,
Astral
and
Spiritual
Remedies
are
required
;
for
whatsoever
are
required
for
a
cure
are
contained
in
the
power
of
the
spirits
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
the
Causes
of
the
Pain
of
the
Head
,
and
the
true
Cure
of
it
.
HOw
difficult
and
intricate
the
explication
of
diseases
is
,
the
Family
of
Privations
of
the
Aristotelians
doth
manifest
and
declare
,
and
the
natural
defects
of
the
Platonicks
granting
and
yielding
diseases
unto
infiniteness
,
as
it
were
by
the
Quintessence
,
Nature
and
Properties
,
as
if
vain
names
were
in
the
subjects
;
for
the
hidden
and
occult
seeds
of
diseases
have
obtained
hidden
and
unknown
Transplantations
and
Generations
which
are
not
subject
to
sense
nor
decrees
of
discourse
.
Though
it
be
so
hard
and
difficult
to
explain
the
seeds
and
Generation
and
Transplantation
of
diseases
,
nevertheless
we
being
urged
and
pricked
by
the
compulsions
of
vertue
and
verity
,
as
also
by
the
magnanimous
and
couragious
mind
of
Hippocrates
and
Paracelsus
,
for
we
will
insist
in
the
paths
of
more
sincere
Philosophers
,
and
enter
into
the
explication
of
diseases
,
and
that
with
better
success
,
because
we
have
explained
hitherto
the
great
book
of
Nature
(
God
still
helping
us
)
and
we
have
seen
more
works
of
the
Spagirical
art
by
the
Ministery
or
help
of
Fire
,
therefore
we
will
descend
from
the
Head
to
the
Foot
,
and
throughly
view
and
search
into
the
whole
Microcosm
,
according
to
his
parts
and
places
.
All
the
affections
of
the
Head
which
use
hath
observed
,
are
partly
symptoms
,
partly
diseases
;
we
divide
these
affections
into
three
Orders
in
regard
of
the
affected
place
or
seat
.
Some
affections
possesse
the
Membranes
of
the
Head
,
some
the
Substance
of
the
Brain
,
some
the
Passages
,
some
possesse
the
Pipes
thereof
.
The
Membranes
of
the
Head
are
the
thin
film
enwrapping
the
Brain
and
the
Pericrany
,
in
which
pains
are
caused
,
for
that
they
have
exquisite
sense
.
The
dolours
of
the
Head
are
twofold
in
respect
of
their
efficient
causes
,
for
the
dolour
or
pain
is
either
caused
from
external
causes
or
internal
causes
.
The
pain
of
the
Head
from
external
causes
,
as
too
much
labour
,
or
heat
of
the
Sun
,
or
from
the
cold
distemperature
of
the
Heaven
,
or
from
Gluttoning
,
Venery
,
grievous
Smells
,
and
smiting
of
the
Head
.
The
pain
which
rises
from
these
causes
is
a
weak
and
fainting
pain
,
without
a
fixt
and
vital
impression
.
The
pain
of
the
Head
rising
from
internal
causes
,
or
from
fixt
and
vital
impression
proceeds
either
from
bloud
,
or
resolution
,
or
obstruction
.
Parcel

in
his
10.
book
Parag.
de
capitis
adversitatibus
internis
.
The
bloud
produces
the
pain
of
the
Head
by
accidental
digestion
(
that
is
)
by
the
bubling
sorth
of
the
spirits
,
or
wandring
of
the
first
three
causes
.
In
this
pain
caused
from
bloud
let
the
Head
vein
be
cut
and
the
pain
ceaseth
,
and
a
true
cure
is
made
thereof
;
but
if
the
condition
of
the
sick
cannot
abide
the
cutting
of
the
vein
,
administer
unto
him
Narcotical
moistures
,
of
which
kind
are
the
liquor
of
Corals
,
Rose
,
the
ever-living
Root
of
the
Nightshade
,
Margarites
and
such
like
,
and
they
are
given
too
within
essentially
,
or
else
applied
outwardly
in
the
manner
of
a
Plaister
.
The
resolution
of
the
vapours
or
Tartareous
spirits
beget
the
pain
of
the
Head
,
namely
,
when
the
mouth
of
it
is
not
shut
by
reason
of
the
weakness
of
the
Ventricle
,
and
then
the
vapours
ascend
,
or
the
spirits
of
the
Tartareous
Salt
smite
unto
the
Membranes
and
the
Brain
,
from
hence
is
the
pain
,
as
also
the
doloriferous
fluxions
and
distillations
.
In
the
cure
of
this
disease
the
cause
is
first
to
be
removed
,
the
Tartar
being
resolved
in
the
Ventricle
is
reduced
,
expelled
and
consumed
by
oil
or
spirit
of
Vitriol
,
which
is
sweet
like
to
a
smell
,
and
hath
a
sweet
sowreness
,
also
the
sowr
spirit
of
Sulphur
.
The
opilation
or
obstruction
of
the
more
principal
bowels
causes
the
Head-ach
.

his
second
book

when
there
is
not
digestion
made
in
the
Reins
,
and
the
attractive
vertue
hath
not
which
it
may
attract
,
then
the
Reins
generate
nutriment
from
the
Liver
;
but
if
the
Liver
be
obstructed
,
the
Reins
attract
nutriment
through
the
Back-bone
from
the
Head
;
and
first
pains
are
caused
in
the
hinder
part
of
the
Head
,
afterwards
in
the
Hemicrany
,
sometime
it
possesses
the
whole
Head
;
therefore
in
the
Hemicrany
and
every
pain
of
the
Head
the
only
cure
is
,
that
the
Reins
be
first
cured
,
and
that
the
obstruction
of
the
Liver
be
taken
away
that
the
Reins
may
have
nutriment
,
which
is
not
only
to
be
understood
of
the
Reins
,
but
of
other
principal
Members
.
Here
the
sowr
water
of
Mercury
bears
sway
,
and
the
spirits
of
Vitriol
and
the
spirits
of
Tartar
.
In
the
pain
from
the
Reins
,
there
is
pain
felt
about
the
Reins
,
if
the
pain
be
from
the
Liver
,
there
is
a
pain
felt
in
the
Liver
,
if
it
be
from
the
Ventricle
,
there
is
a
pain
in
the
Ventricle
,
if
it
be
from
the
Matrix
then
the
Mat●ix
feels
a
pain
,
if
from
the
Spleen
,
the
pain
will
be
in
the
right
side
,
viz.
in
the
place
of
the
Spleen
are
begot
the
Cephalia
,
the
Hemicrania
,
and
the
Cephalalgia
from
the
Tartar
of
the
Head
lying
hidden
in
the
glew
,
which
〈◊〉
Cephalia
affects
the
whole
Head
or
the
greatest
〈◊〉
o●
it
.
The
Hemicrania
affects
onely
the
one
part
and
it
begins
by
the
beating
of
the
Temples
.
The
Chephalalgie
comprehends
both
the
kinds
,
as
In
the
curing
of
the
pains
of
the
Head
there
are
to
be
administred
medicines
which
put
away
pain
by
Sleep
,
or
Narcotical
medicines
,
which
smooth
and
do
(
as
it
were
)
make
the
pain
sleep
.
In
the
raging
pains
of
the
Head
the
too
much
good
bloud
is
to
be
let
forth
of
the
forehead
,
or
receive
the
oil
of
Musk
and
the
oil
of
Camphora
,
of
each
six
drops
,
give
it
in
Wine
or
in
Ale
in
the
morning
or
at
night
;
this
is
a
secret
against
the
raging
pains
of
the
Head
.
Take
the
Fish
Cancer
,
bruise
it
,
strain
forth
the
juice
,
make
it
into
ointment
,
apply
it
unto
the

Theophrastus
Paracelsus
in
his
cures
which
he
left
writ
with
his
own
hand
,
one
had
this
Head-ach
(
as
he
writes
)
and
his
Head
was
purged
by
the
Nostrils
,
by
infusing
juice
of
the
herb
Hoggs-bread
by
an
instrument
called
Rhinechites
or
instrument
for
the
Nostrils
,
as
also
by
a
quill
.
In
the
same
place
he
writes
that
one
had
a
vehement
Head-ach
for
the
space
of
a
year
,
and
he
was
made
whole
only
by
opening
of
the
crany
of
the
Head
;
and
by
the
same
means
the
tumour
of
the
Brain
may
be
cured
by
administring
therewith
the
oil
of
Salt
in
the
water
of
Basil
.
Another
Cure
▪
There
was
a
certain
Barber
of
a
City
in
Germany
who
was
tormented
with
a
very
grievous
Head-ach
,
I
gave
the
oil
of
Marjoram
that
he
might
smell
,
and
I
put
a
drop
of
it
in
both
the
ears
.
He
brings
the
oil
of
Anise
for
the
pain
of
the
Head
,
the
external
oil
of
sweet
Cane
,
the
essence
of
Cloves
,
or
the
tincture
of
the
oriental
Saffron
,
a
drop
of
which
must
be
mixt
with
liquor
,
Broth
,
or
Wine
.
The
distilled
oil
of
Amber
helps
the
Head-ach
if
it
be
taken
with
the
water
of
Linden
tree
;
the
oil
of
Vitriol
,
and
the
spirit
o●
it
,
the
oil
of
Corals
are
also
very
beneficial
.
In
the
curing
of
the
Head-ach
there
must
a
rega●d
be
had
of
the
belly
,
for
if
it
be
obstructed
all
medicine
will
be
in
vain
.
Furthermore
if
it
be
constipated
it
is
to
be
sollicited
with
a
suppository

writes
,
that
the
most
excellent
cure
of
the
Phrensie
is
that
sleeping
medicines
be
administred
to
the
patient
;
afterward
the
obstruction
is
to
be
removed
,
and
the
Brain
is
to
be
comforted
and
strengthned
.
Joannes
Montanus
in
his
Treatise
de
terrasigillata
saith
,
that
that
Earth
is
a
very
present
cure
against
all
raging
diseases
of
the
Head
.
Paracelsus
in
his
Cures
writes
,
that
a
German
Prince
was
Frentick
,
and
he
administred
for
the
grievousness
of
the
Fever
five
grains
of
Laudanum
,
and
therewith
the
Fever
was
expelled
and
he
sleeped
six
whole
hours
.
The
grains
of
the
oil
of
Pearls
,
and
the
herb
Sena
administred
in
his
proper
liquor
,
extinguishes
the
inflammation
of
the
Brain
.
The
strengthning
of
the

is
made
by

the
secret

Vitriol
,
the
oil

the
liquor

Sulphur
,
the
water

The
tincture
of

Saffron
being
applied
about
the
Nostrils

will
help

IV.
Of
Out-raging
Madness
.
WHen
black
Choler
is
begot
by
the
adustion
of
melancholy
,
or
bloud
,
or
yellow
choler
,
then
the
Mania
invadeth
and
possesseth
,
which
comes
often
unto
the
melancholy
waxing
hot
.
This
black
humour
as
likewise
melancholy
is
collected
,
sometimes
in
the
films
of
the
heart
,
sometime
in
the
whole
body
,
sometime
in
the
head
alone
;
when
this
humour
is
hot
it
causes
horrible
and
Out-raging
doting
,
but
if
it
pu●rifie
The
Mania
is
of
us
called
a
furor
or
Out-raging
madness
which
immitateth
the
doting
of
the
melancholick
neither
in
thought
,
word
,
or
deed
,
but
yet
with
brawling
,
chiding
,
and
shouting
,
as
likewise
the
man
possest
with
it
is
of
a
terrible
look
.
Again
,
the
Mania
doth
impel
and
possesse
the
patients
with
a
greater
violence
and
trouble
and
perturbation
of
the
mind
,
so
that
they
invade
men
immodestly
and
fiercely
like
wild
beasts
with
their
teeth
,
n●ils
,
and
hands
.
The
signs
and
proper
adjuncts
of
those
which
are
Out-raging
are
demonstrated
by
experience
.
The
cause
in
which
all
the
Galenists
insist
and
agree
of
shall
be
manifested
by
Paracelsus
whether
it
be
true
or
false
.
The
Mania
according
unto
Paracelsus
is
twofold
.
The
one
which
invadeth
a
sound
man
,
and
it
is
a
disease
,
the
other
is
a
symptom
of
a
disease
,
as
in
the
Plague
and
Fevers
.
Paracelsus
in
his
book
de
morbis
amentum
writes
in
the
second
Chap.
that
the
Mania
rises
from
three
principles
or
beginnings
,
and
in
the
same
Chap.
he
divides
the
Mania
into
two
kinds
.
The
one
is
that
which
rises
from
pain
,
when
as
a
vapour
remains
in
the
Head
,
the
other
riseth
from
sublimation
,
and
is
coagulated
in
the
Head
.
In
the
Cure
we
must
respect
these
two
causes
,
viz.
that
the
vapours
from
pain
be
consumed
and
dissipated
,
and
that
that
be
resolved
and
reduced
which
is
coagulated
of
sublimation
.
The
Mania
hath
his
original
either
from
Bloud
,
Veins
,
Ventricle
,
Intestines
,
Reins
,
Liver
,
Spirit
of
Urine
,
and
the
Lungs
,
de
morb
.
amentium
,

It
cannot
be
sufficiently
known
where
the
mine
and
procreant
cause
of
the
Mania
is
,
for
it
is
an
astral
disease
.
The
true
cause
of
Mania
is
in
what
part
of
the
body
soever
Mercury
lyeth
hid
,
and
is
reverberated
into
slime
,
and
is
dissolved
in
very
strong
water
,
which
being
dissolved
is
mixt
with
the
spirit
of
life
and
inflames
it
:
there
is
such
a
subtileness
in
this
strong
water
,
that
it
will
not
bide
in
the
bottom
but
rises
up
unto
the
top
.
The
extreme
acrimony
of
that
humour
appears
from
sneesing
,
which
provoking
quality
rises
from
the
greatest
acretion
,
which
comes
to
pass
if
any
receive
in
at
his
Nostrils
the
smell
of
the
spirits
of
Aqua
fortis
,
Salt
,
and
Vitriol
.
This
reverberation
of
Mercury
proceeds
from
too
much
heat
,
as
for
example
.
If
the
spirit
of
Salt
be
mixt
with
the
spirit
of
life
it
is
of
such
a
subtilty
and
power
,
that
as
soon
as
it
comes
to
the
Brain
it
causes
the
Mania
and
extreme
madness
.
The
Cure
of
the
Mania
is
twofold
,
the
one
which
refrigerates
and
coagulates
the
faulting
matter
;
The
other
which
altogether
disperses
and
consumes
the
matter
of
which
it
is
generated
.
The
refrigeration
and
coagulation
of
the
matter
faulting
is
caused
by
the
curing
of
the
Falling-sickness
.
Receive
of
the
oil
of
Camphora
ʒ.
of
the
oil
of
Musk
ʒ.
mix
them
,
and
administer
them
at
every
time
.
This
medicine
is
most
excellent
in
the
cure
of
the
Mania
,
for
it
doth
wonderfully
coagulace
the
matter
of
the
Mania
,
and
it
extinguisheth
the
heat
of
the
body
and
the
boiling
of
the
bloud
,
and
it
altereth
the
matter
,
as
cold
changes
Water
into
Air.
This
oil
may
be
applyed
outwardly
about
the
Templ●s
and
Fore-head
.

CHAP.
V.
Of
Melancholy
.
It
is
a
Sowerness
.
THe
other
kind
of
Sottishness
without
a
Fever
is
melancholy
,
The
Hypocondriack
melancholy
is
called
also
the
sl●tulent
melancholy
,
and
it
is
caused
when
black
choler
cometh
unto
the
seventh
Traverse
or
Diaphragma
,
from
which
a
black
and
obscure
vapour
is
conveyed
into
the
seat
of
the
mind
.
The
primary
melancholy
is
,
when
the
Brain
is
prima●ily
affected
either
with
a
peculiar
hurt
,
or
by
the
hurt
of
the
whole
body
;
from
hence
we
may
understand
that
melancholy
wearies
without
affecting
the
Heart-roots
;
which
is
caused
by
the
hurt
of
the
whole
body
.
They
call
this
Melancholy
,
Solitary
,
Out-raging
madness
,
but
yet
falsly
;
for
melancholy
is
not
the
cause
of
Out-raging
madness
,
but
the
spirit
of
life
infected
with
the
poison
of
Mercury
,
of
which
Paracelsus
writes
cap.
4
de
morb
.
Amentium
tractat.
1.
&
cap.
5.
that
there
are
four
kinds
of
melancholy
men
,
according
unto
the
four
complexions
as
they
call
them
.
If
these
complexions
beget
Sottishness
,
the
cause
is
,
because
they
expell
and
drive
away
their
spirit
for
their
too
much
abundance
.
But
what
are
the
spirits
of
the
humours
or
complexions
?
a
snarp
,
bitter
,
or
sowr
,
or
sweet
taste
.
But
what
is
the
taste
?
that
which
hath
a
great
power
,
as
Hippocrates
Tract.
1.
c.
4.
Melanchol●
hath
his
seat
in
the
whole
body
.
s●eaks
.
What
is
that
that
hath
the
great
power
?
Salt
,
Sulphur
,
and
Mercury
;
for
in
them
all
the
powers
as
well
of
Health
as
Diseases
are
contained
;
so
the
spirit
or
taste
of
every
humour
containing
in
it
the
three
first
powers
as
well
of
sanity
as
of
diseases
may
produce
melancholy
,
in
as
much
as
such
poison
commixt
with
the
spirit
of
life
is
more
languid
and
faint
.
In
this
disease
the
spirit
of
Salt
predominates
,
for
it
is
a
Chronical
and
fixt
disease
.
In
the
cited
Chap.
Paracelsus
saith
that
melancholy
and
madness
are
oftentimes
caused
by
Meat
and
Drink
,
Cups
hurt
Men
and
also
Women
.
Melancholick
men
are
oftentimes
sorrowful
and
sad
,
and
fly
the
company
and
sight
of
men
.
Others
suppose
that
they
must
not
be
spoke
unto
,
but
that
they
must
live
all
their
dayes
in
quietness
and
taciturnity
.
The
cure
of
melancholy
;
the
Galenists
(
which
say
that
melancholy
is
the
cause
of
the
disease
of
sadness
,
when
as
it
is
only
the
name
of
a
disease
)
they
endeavour
to
cure
this
disease
by
contraries
.
Melancholy
is
(
say
they
)
cold
and
dry
,
therefore
it
is
to
be
removed
with
hot
and
moist
things
;
wherefore
in
that
they
endeavour
to
cure
it
they
administer
these
hot
medicines
,
Diambra
,
Mithridates
,
Diamargarita
,
the
hot
elect
.
Plorisanoticon
,
so
also
the
conserve
of
Borage
,
of
Buglosse
,
and
of
Sorrel
;
so
also
Diaboriginatum
,
Diabuglossatum
,
and
the
confection
and
compounding
of
dulcis
diamascus
;
though
these
are
not
to
be
contemned
,
for
in
some
sort
they
refresh
the
vital
spirits
,
but
yet
they
do
not
remove
the
disease
,
but
as
much
as
in
them
lies
,
and
as
far
as
they
can
exercise
their
vertues
not
yet
reduced
unto
perfection
,
they
strengthen
Nature
.
The
decree
and
opinion
of
Paracelsus
will
ever
be
firm
and
constant
,
that
melancholy
or
heaviness
cannot
be
removed
by
the
decoctions
of
Apothecaries
.
In
the
curing
of
melancholy
the
specifical
vertues
of
the
secrets
are
to
be
considered
.
The
specifical
vertue
which
expels
melancholy
is
in
the
flowrs
of
Antimony
,
for
by
the
flowrs
of
Antimony
those
are
freed
wich
have
been
bound
in
chains
for
some
moneths
.
The
flowrs
of
Antimony
are
administred
in
a
little
quantity
of
Theriaca
in
the
morning
twice
,
or
thrice
,
or
four
times
,
by
reason
of
the
contumacy
of
the
disease
.
In
the
fifth
Chapter
of
Paracelsus
de
morbis
amentium
.
The
quintessence
of
Antimony
is
a
perfect
cure
of
madness
,
so
in
the
sixth
Chapter
,
The
oil
of
Antimony
preserves
from
all
the
kinds
of
madness
.
The
tincture
or
magistery
of
Saffron
expels
sadness
,
desperation
,
and
melancholy
,
for
Saffron
is
the
chief
medicine
for
melancholy
,
for
when
as
any
begins
to
despair
it
doth
wonderfully
refresh
the
prostrated
spirits
.
It
is
a
general
deoppilative
▪
or
unobstruct
of
the
vital
spirit
,
and
it
is
the
chief
joy
of
the
heart
.
The
Armenial
stone
,
and
also
the
Jazal
stone
being
prepared
are
more
commodiously
administred
by
much
.
The
Confection
of
Alchermes
which
is
commended
of
all
Physicians
removes
Madness
and
Melancholick
Affections
,
for
it
strengthneth
the
spirits
and
expels
all
poison
.
The
essence
of
Silver
cures
all
melancholy
affections
.
The
essence
of
Ellebor
administred
,
It
is
very
expedient
against
all
the
affects
of
melancholy
.
The
Smaragdus
not
only
drunk
,
but
if
hanged
about
the
neck
it
removes
all
melancholy
affects
.
The
essence
of
Thime
,
Epithime
,
and
Origanum
take
away
melancholy
.

Of
the
Lethargy
.
THe
Lethargy

The
Galenists
say
that
the
cause
of
this
disease
is
a
cold
and
slegmy
humour
,
which
in
great
aboundance
is
effused
into
the
substance
and
Ventricles
of
the
brain
.
The
kinds
of
it
are
the
Catophora
,
the
Coma
,
and
the
Carus
.
The
Catophora
is
a
profound
and

The
Cure
of
the
Lethargy
.
It
is
to
be
removed
,
and
Nature
is
to
be
corroborated
and
strengthned
.
Paracelsus
in
Parag.
de
Alchymia
saith
,
that
the
lethargy
is
not
to
be
cured
by
ordinary
decoctions
,
for
it
is
a
Mineral
disease
,
and
therefore
it
is
to
be
cured
by
Minerals
.
Paracelsus
in
his
cures
relates
that
a
certain
man
after
a
Fever
fell
into
a
deep
sleep
,
so
that
he
felt
not
if
any
prickt
him
,
neither
would
he
open
his
eyes
or
speak
any
thing
,
he
had
the
lethargy
,
and
I
cured
it
with
the
oil
of
Vitriol
;
so
also
there
was
a
woman
waking
which
was
affected
with
the
lethargies
sleep
,
so
that
her
eyes
were
still
shut
,
and
hardly
would
open
them
if
she
were
called
upon
,
neither
could
any
understand
what
she
spake
,
neither
did
she
rightly
answer
.
I
restored
her
to
her
health
by
the
oil
of
Vitriol
alone
.
The
chief
Medicine
of
all
in
Curing
this
Disease
is
Antimony
;
for
in
this
one
all
the
wayes
of
curing
are
found
,
for
it
takes
away
the
cause
altogether
,
and
strengthens
Nature
by
a
specifical
vertue
wherein
it
excels
.
Some
drops
of
the
oil
of
Vitriol
administred
with
Marjoram
water
availeth
much
.
In
this
part
the
spirit
of
Vitriol
is
much
better
and
more
excellent

In

of

there
is
a

corroboration
of

he
acknowledgeth
that
besides
the

there
must
needs
be
a
poisonful
,
offensive
,
and
grievous
quality
in
the
substance
of
the
brain
which
is
the
cause
of
the
Epilepsie
,
which
as
often
as
it
is
agitated
and
contends
to
enter
into

it
as
it

the

This
man
amongst
all
the
Galenists
of

age
came
the
nighest
to
the
knowledge
of
the
cause
of
the
Epilepsie

In

Paracelsus
writes
that
the
matter
of
the
Falling-sickness
is
stupefactive
and
biting
Sulphur
,
existing
in
the

The
original
of
the
Falling-sickness
is
fivefold
in
regard
of
their
places
forth
of
which
it
first
proceeds
and
arises
,
from
the
brain
,
heart
,
liver
,
intestines
,
or
from
the
four
external
members
.
Fernelius
makes
three
differences
of
the
Epilepsie
,
one
is
assigned
from
the
Brain
,
another
is
of
the
Ventricle
,
the
3.
is
that
which
is
caused
by
the
consent
of
every
other
part
.
Galen
brought
in
a
twofold
Epilepsie
,
by
it self
,
and
by
consent
.
But
certainly
it
is
one
and
the
same
disease
proceeding
from
the
same
Beginning
,
Root
,
and
Seed
.
They
cause
the
nources
and
conservants
,
and
the
difference
of
the
sick
;
they
alter
the
signatures
of
the
symptoms
by
their
vehemency
,
celerity
,
frequencie
,
duration
,
and
such
like
;
for
the
Falling-sickness
of
the
Intestines
,
Diaphragma
,
Teeth
,
Hands
,
Feet
,
Testicles
,
Marrow
,
and
Throat
do
differ
much
amongst
themselves
.
I
say
,
that
the
Falling-sickness
of
the
glew
and
bloud
differ
much
from
that
of
the
Ventricle
and
Diaphragma
by
reason
of
their
places
and
matrices
,
in
which
the
cause
of
the
disease
consists
,
and
where
it
emulates
the
nature
,
properties
,
subtilty
,
and
power
of
the
matrix
.
Again
,
according
unto
Paracelsus
de
caducis
Parag.
3.
fol.

The
Falling-sickness
is
fourfold
according
unto
the
four
Elements
,
for
the
differences
of
the
fourfold
Falling-sickness
are
taken
from
the
diversity
of
the
pains
and
fits
.
We
must
here
recur
unto
the
beginnings
of
Philosophy
.
As
in
the
Macrocosm
the
Element
of
Fire
is
most
forcible
,
so
in
the
Microcosm
the
fit
of
the
Falling-sickness
from
the
fiery
star
is
most
vehement
,
for
it
consists
of
more
forcible
and
potent
seeds
,
by
whoseresolution
it
is
wont
to
possess
the
vital
Elements
of
the
whole
body
in
a
moment
like
a
thunderbolt
.
The
paroxism
of
the
Falling
sickness
from
the
Air
is
most
mild
and
gentle
;
so
also
there
are
four
degrees
of
the
Falling-sickness
in
the
Microcosm
,
as
in
the
Philosophy
of
the
Macrocosm
we
have
set
down
four
degrees
of
the
Elements
.
The
Falling-sickness
from
the
star
of
the
Earth
obtains
the
first
degree
.
The
Falling-sickness
from
the
star
of
the
Air
obtains
the
second
degree
.
The
Falling-sickness
from
the
star
of
Water
obtains
the
third
degree
.
The
Falling
sickness
from
the
star
of
Fire
obtains
the
fourth
degree
.
After
this
manner
the
specifical
Remedies
of
the
Falling-sickness
are
divided
into
four
degrees
,
as
we
will
say
in
our
cure
and
his
kinds
.
The
Falling-sickness
and
such
like
diseases
which
are
infamous
and
notable
in
destruction
and
difference
of
paroxisms
or
symptoms
have
twofold
particular
indications
;
for
some
Remedies
especially
respect
the
paroxisms
,
some
respect
the
roots
or
grounds
thereof
;
the
cooling
of
the
boiling
spirits
,
girding
,
pricking
,
and
binding
,
&c.
especially
respect
the
paroxisms
,
but
the
resolution
of
the
Epilepsies
tincture
(
that
is
)
the
consumption
and
abolishing
of
the
seed
of
the
root
respects
the
roots
themselves
,
&c.
These
indications
admit
easie
mixtions
and
may
be
absolved
by
the
same
remedy
.
Therefore
we
have
distributed
the
remedies
or
medicaments
into
two
orders
.
I
he
one
respect
the
paroxism
,
the
other
respect
the
roots
or
grounds
thereof
.
Lastly
,
we
adjoyn
medicaments
which
do
not
only
respect
the
paroxism
of
the
Epilepsie
,
but
also
the
very
roots
.
The
true
opiate
Laudanum
of
Paracelsus
respects
the
paroxism
,
and
constringes
,
mitigates
,
releases
,
and
binds
the
boiling
spirits
,
of
which
iij
or
more
grains
are
administred
with
the
spirits
of
Vitriol
and
essence
of
Camphora
.
The
essence
of
Manna
and
mans
bloud
respects
the
root
it self
,
of
which
there
is
to
be
administred
in
the
full
moon
unto
the
Epileptick
every
moneth
,
for
it
mitigates
it
and
expels
it
.
A
perpetual
remedy
of
it
is
the
essence
of
mans
scull
with
the
water
of
the
flowr
of
Linden

the

of
the
Falling-sickness
,
then
the
sick
are
neglected
of
those
false
Physicians
as
if
they
were
incurable
;
for
the
cure
of
the
Falling-sickness
is
not
in
Sage
,
Marigold
,
and
Marjorum
.
It
is
no
wonder
that
they
believe
not
the
original
of
the
Falling-sickness
when
as
they
cannot
see
it
with
their
sense
.
The
Remedies
of
the
Falling-sickness
are
twofold
,
Coporal
and
Spiritual
;
some
are
good
for
the
younger
sort
only
,
some
for
old
men
,
some
for
maids
,
some
for
old
Women
,
some
cure
by
coldness
(
not
by
that
external
quality
,
but
by
the
Narcotical
and
coagulative
virtue
,
)
some
cure
by
their
specifical
vertue
,
some
by
their
sleeping
power
and
vertue
.
The
oil
of
Amber
is
good
for
Infants
and
the
younger
sort
,
one
drop
of
it
being
administred
in
the
water
of
Fennel
unto
the
Infants
;
so
also
the
water
of
Selondine
is
most
excellent
for
the
younger
sort
,
and
Infants
,
being
anointed
upon
their
nostrils
,
as
the
oil
of
Amber●is
,
likewise
it
is
good
for
them
to
receive

,
at
the
second
dosis
two
drops
,
at
the
third
dosis
three
drops
,
at
the
fourth
dosis
four
drops
,
it
is
a
most
strong
thing
,
therefore
it
is
to
be
given
with
judgment
.
Let
three
drops
of
the
oil
of
Amber
be
administred
in
the
liquor
of
the
water
of
the
Lillies
of
the
Vallies
unto
the
younger
which
are
about
18.
or
19.
years
of
age
.
Let
there
be
taken
also
yellow
oil
from
the
smoak

let

drops
be
administred
to
the
more
aged
in
the
water
of
the
Lillies
of
the
Vallies
,
and
they
will
take
away
and
remove
the
Falling
sickness
.

remedies
of
the
Falling-sickness

by

if

rather

Then
take

distill

before
;
so
do
with
more
fresh
Vitriol
untill
you

then
pure

dissolve

fleam

you
distilled

being

put
it
in

very
high
glass
with
an

upon
it

and

well

it

then
in

distill

else
the
fleam
will
come
over
with
the

so
weaken
it
,
and
lessen
its
effect
.
This
spirit
being
carefully
distilled
will
be
like

The

is

In

Treatise
he
saith
,
that

only
an

but
the
Apoplexy
is
not
an
excrement

a
most
subtile
thing
from
the
stars
of
the
Firmament
;
so
in
the
same
place
,
fol.
148.
The
gutta
in
the
Microcosm
is
a
lightning
in
the
Macrocosm
,
for
as
the
lightning
melteth
Iron
,
the
substance
or
body
of
the
Iron
yet
remaining
,
so
the
gutta
melteth
the
brain
(
not
corporally
but
spiritually
,
for
it
depriveth
it
of
all
sense
and
motion
)
and
also
the
heart
and
lungs
,
as
when
wax
is
melted
by
fire
,
and
compact
into
a
mass
,
the
parts
remaining
whole
.
It
smiteth
from
the
crown
of
the
head
the
exteriour
members
,
hands
and
feer
,
and
it
burneth
and
consumeth
the
sensitive
and
motive
faculty
thereof
;
so
when
it
smites
the
tongue
,
there
follows
a
privation
of
speech
,
yet
the
substance
of
the
tongue
remains
,
but
not
the
essence
thereof
;
for
the
essence
thereof
is
a
spiritual
Paralysis
,
which
manifestly
demonstrates
the
spiritual
and
astral
essence
of
the
disease
whiles
that
the
spirits
do
work
against
the
spirits
;
when
the
lightning
of
the
Microcosm
smites
the
Lungs
there
follows
a
suffocation
.
The
Lungs
do
not
want
an
attractive
,
sensitive
,
and
motive
faculty
;
so
man
is
suffocated
of

Paracelsus
in
his
cures
writes
that
he
restored
one
having
the
Paralysis
only
by
essence
of
Antimony
:
A
mystery
in
the
Apoplexy
is
the
solution
of

,
and
the
power
of
speech
will

restored
,
so
that
he
may
speak
by
this
means
.
He
cured
many
having
the
Apoplexy
.
He
said
that
the
magistery
of
Pearls
was
to
be
administred
to
the
apoplectick
in
the
very
paroxism
without
any
delay

The

The

The

of

are
twofold
,
interiour
and
exteriour
.
The
interiour

call
which
are
caused
within

,
and
have
their

I
call
the
external
those
which
exist
within
or
without

.
Furthermore
,
of

some
exist
in
the
discerning
spirits
,
some
in
the
brain
,
some
in
the
optick

,
some
in
the
crystaline
humour
.
The
spirits
that
they

Of
the
hurts
of
the
Lungs
,
their
Symptoms
,
causes
,
and
Signs
.
BY
the
name
of
Lungs
we
understand
all
the
vessels
which
are
in
them
and
the
rough
artery
.
The
affections
which
happen
unto
the
Lungs
are
the
peripneumonia
,
obstruction
,
the
imposthume
,
and
such
like
.
The
obstruction
is
frequent
in
the
Lungs
as
in
other
more
principal
Members
or
Bowels
.
The
causes
of
Here
it
is
to
be
observed
,
that
the
Asthma
is
not
only
begot
from
distillations
,
but
from
the
proper
tartar
of
the
Lungs
,
which
remains
in
the
Lungs
,
separation
and
expulsion
being
frustrated
,
as
we
have
demonstrated
in
our
general
explication
of
diseases
.
Fernelius
doth
here
agree
with
Paracelsus
,
for
he
saith
,
that
the
clammy
humour
in
the
Generation
of
the
Asthma
doth
coagulate
into
hail
,
and
after
into
stones
,
with
which
we
see
sometime
the
Lungs
filled
when
as
they
be
cut
.

Peripneumonia

The
Peripneumonia
is
a
hot
imposthume
begot
in
the
substance
of
the
Lungs
.
the
Lungs
,
whose
root
and
cause
are
the
spirits
of
Arsenick
,
Sulphur
,
and
Auripigmentum
,
which
spirits
do
not
alone
in
their
resolved
and
liquid
form
,
but
in
their
vaporous
and
spiritual
form
come
unto
the
matrices
,
therefore
they
having
attained
a
confluence
in
the
anatomy
of
the
Lungs
,
they
introduce
their
tinctures
and
seat
themselves
,
and
that
more
strongly
and
sooner
,
if
they
have
stars
indued
with
more
potent
tinctures
,
but
if
the
tincture
be
more
debile
and
weak
,
they
perfect
their
work
by
frequency
and
assiduity
;
they
absolve
Transplantation
,
and
afterward
they
fetch
aliments
from
the
weaker
parts
,
as
well
the
nigh
as
the
remote
,
untill
they
attain
unto
maturity
;
from
the
nutriments
daily
attracted
they
constitute
bodies
both
filthy
,
excrementitious
,
sanguine
,
coagulated
,
resolved
,
ill-smelling
,
red
,
black
,
yellow
,
of
divers
colours
,
bitter
,
sharp
,
and
having
such
like
signatures
;
therefore
the
roots
being
set
,
and
the
bodies
constituted
,
the
continual
nutrition
and
fermentation
being
digested
Sev.
p.
250.
they
expect
the
times
of
maturity
and
separation
,
which
being
instant
,
there
bursts
forth
an
ebullition
of
spirits
;
●ev
.
f.
251.
252.
these
spirits
flying
forth
they
produce
the
first
vapours
of
Fevers
invested
with
their
signatures
which
are
permixt
with
the
vital
Elements
of
mans
anatomy
,
and
cause
coldness
,
horrours
,
and
rigour
.
After
follows
resolutions
and
sulphureous
inflammable
vapours
inquinating
and
tincturing
mans
Elements
with
the
same
signatures
,
from
whence
are
the
alterations
of
the
pulse
,
thirst
,
disdain
of
meat
,
restlesness
,
watching
,
dotings
,
bloudy
,
filthy
,
and
excrementitious
coughing
,
and
from
hence
the
difficulty
of
breathing
ariseth
.
The
Galenists
make
a
twofold
Peripneumonia
,
one
which
rises
by
it self
,
the
other
which
succeeds
the
Squincy
or
Pleurifie
;
also
humour
is
suddenly
carryed
from
the
jaws
or
sides
into
the
Lungs
,
which
doth
not
succeed
any
other
disease
,
but
hath
his
first
original
from
it self
;
it
is
caused
from
small
and
cholerick
bloud
coming
from
the
right
side
of
the
heart
through
the
arterial
vein
very
vehemently
and
aboundantly
into
the
lungs
,
which
doth
not
only
fill
the
lungs
,
veins
,
and
arteries
,
but
the
whole
body
,
and
cistends
it
above
measure
,
it
is
also
coarctated
and
putrifies
,
and
causes
the
inflammation
of
the
Liver
,
not
that
which
is
collected
after
the
manner
of
other
inflammations
,
but
that
which
is
effused
in
the
whole
bowel
.
The
Imposthume
of
the
Lungs
is
a
little
Imposthume
,
or
a
collection
of
filth
in
some
part
of
the
Lungs
,
which
the
proper
membrane
doth
as
closely
include
as
a
chest
,
so
that
scarcely
any
filthy
matter
can
be
breathed
forth
into
the
heart
.
This
Impostume
,
which
is
named
Vomica
,
vomiteth
much
filth
,
from
whence
it
takes
his
name
,
viz.
à
vomendo
.
It
is
generated
from
the
poyson
of
Arsenick
,
Those
which
are
thus
affected
are
of
somewhat
a
wan
colour
in
their
faces
,
and
their
tongues
are
full
of
a
certain
clamminess
,
especially
when
they
have
long
abstained
from
meat
.
Many
die
quickly
in
a
quarter
of
an
hour
,
in
which
being
anatomized
,
there
appears
no
other
cause
then
the
suddain
disruption
&
bursting
of
the
Impostume
in
the
Lungs
,
from
which
filth
peirces
into
the
heart
,
which
is
the
enemy
thereof
,
and
perchance
extinguishes
and
overwhelms
the
inbred
heat
.
All
those
which
are
thus
affected
(
long
before
the
Impostume
burst
)
have
a
bloudy
avoyding
out
of
the
Liver
,
and
that
with
coughing
:
the
breath
also
is
grievous
and
stinking
,
there
is
a
heaviness
also
of
the
body
,
a
light
oppression
of
the
brest
,
and
a
difficulty
of
breathing
;
but
the
pining
doth
seldome
accompany
them
,
but
these
signs
are
common
to
other
affections

the

So
also
inflammations

and
consumption
The
principal
member
in
the
body
being
obstructed
for
two
or
three
moneths
,
begins
to
putrifie
,
from
which
putrifaction
divers
diseases
arise
:
and
lastly
,
death
rushes
upon
the
life
of
the
body
,
as
Paracels

speaks
de

longa
.
The
Obstructions
of
all
the
diseases
of
the
whole
body
are
to
be
taken
away
thus
.
Administer
the
spirit
of
Vitriol
(
for
three
or
four
days
in
the
morning
)
in
the
spirit
of

.
The
obstruction
being
taken
away
,
for
three
or
four
days
administer
in
the
morning
the
spirit
of
Turpentine
,
in
a
convenient
liquor
;
for
it
corroborateth
and
strengthneth
the
weak
;
corrupted
and
hurt
members
,
and
restoreth
them
which
began
to
putrifie
.
These
two
spirits
being
rightly
applyed
,
effect
very
much
in
the
cure
of
the
Asthma
.
There
is
nothing
more

The
cure
of
the
Asthma
is
twofold
,
one
which
resolves
,
the
other
which
exsiccates
.
The
resolving
cure
is
to
be
given
in
the
coagulated
tartar
;
that
which
dryeth
is
to
be
given
in
the
dry
cough
which
exsiccates
(
where
too
much
filth
is
cast
forth
by
spitting
)
untill

matter
be
consumed
.
For
preservation
from
the
Cough
&
Asthma
,
in
all
obstructions
and
putrifactions
there
is
no
more
excellent
medicament
than
the
flowers
of
Sulphur
sublimated
seaven
times
every
morning
.
The
flowers
of
Sulphur
rightly
prepared
,
mixt
with
Sugar
in
the
evening
and
morning
,
cure
the
most
vehement
Cough
.
This
medicament
expels
all
obstructions
of
the
bowels
,
it
corroborates
the
weak
venticle
,
and
softens
the
hardness
of
the
Milt
.

saith

Paracelsus
(

.
saith
,
that
from

the
Pleurisie
,
Plague
,

which
begin
with
a

;
from

Galen
(
in
his
medicinal
definitions
)
saith
,
that
the
peripneumonia
is
an
inflammation
of
the
Lungs
,
with
a
sharp
Fever
and
difficulty
of
breathing
.
Seeing
that
in
inflammations
and
sharp
Fevers
the
Arsenick

&
that
the

Theophrast
.
(
de
rebus
natural
alibus
cap.
7.
)
saith
,
that
the
subtilty
of
Amoer
and
Ambergreece
effect
the
same
cure
,
and
there
he
saith
that
the
cure
of
the
Imposthume
is
made
by
the
oil
of
sulphur
and
the
spirits
of
Vitriol
.
The
cure
of
the
Consumption
contains
in
it
the
cure
of
many
diseases
.
In
the
true
cure
of
the
Consumption
(
as
well
the
particular
as
the
universal
)
there
is
great
regard
to
be
had
of
all
the
principal
members
;
namely
,
that
their
tartareous
obstructions
,
and
that
the
oppilation
of
the
spirit
of
life
be
removed
,
and
then
that
help
be
brought
unto
the
consumed
nature
(
that
is
)
to
the
liquor
of
life
or
radical
moisture
or
inferiour
heaven
,
so
that
the
inferiour
heaven
may
be
restored
and
renewed
.
The
obstruction
of
the
members
and
oppilation
of
the
spirit
of
life
is
removed
by
the
spirit
of
Vitriol
,
as
it
is
said
in
the
beginning
.
The
heaven
is
restored
and
renewed
by
the
mystery
of
Antimony
and
the
magistery
of
Pearls
.
These
two
indications
,
viz.
the
ablation
or
removal
of
obstruction
and
renovation
of
the
heaven
are
contained
in
one
root
of
Antimony
,
for
the
essence
of
Antimony
(
or
admirable
flowr
of
nature
)
consumes
all
the
tartareous
matter
,
and
openeth
all
the
obstructions
by
a
specifical
vertue
;
in
the
next
place
it
begets
a
new
heaven
by
consuming
the
contrary
by
a
fiery
force
,
and
by
opening
the
obstructions
it
renews
all
nature
.
Paracelsus
calls
this
transmutation
of
nature
which
bears
sway
in
the
tincture
of
Antimony
,
by
the
name
of
Transplantation
or
Philosophical
Regeneration
,
and
that
truly
,
for
it
transmutates
the
bad
constitution
into
the
best
temperature
;
and
as
before
in
the
Generation
of
the
Phthisis
there
is
made
a
Transplantation
from
good
to
evil
,
so
here
in
the
cure
the
temperature
of
the
bad
properties
is
transmutated
into
the
temperature
of
the
best
.
This
cure
,
viz.
Transplantation
and
Regeneration
is
to
be
used
of
a
Physician
in
all
desperate
and
deplored
diseases
:
Namely
,
in
all
chronical
,
acute
,
and
desperate
diseases
Saturn
bears
the
Scepter
,
but
Antimony
holds
Saturn
captive
,
and
he
gives
the
Scepter
to
Antimony
.

ACcording
unto
the
Galenists
the
Pleurisie
is
a
plegmon
of
that
membrane
which
is
extended
under
the
ribs
.
But
according
unto
Paracelsus
and
the
true
Physicians
it
is
called
a
pleurisie
when
a
sharp
Fever
suddenly
invades
with
a
cough
,
and
a
pricking
pain
of
the
side
,
with
the
difficulty
of

.
The

,

,

and
infect
the
air
with
griping
and
biting
resolutions
,
for
such
stars
abound
with
the
tinctures
of
Arsenick
.
Sometime
there
are
pleurisies
of
the
bastard
ribs
,
not
because
they
seat
themselves
in
the
Muscles
,
and
Flesh
,
and
Liver
,
Milt
,
Lungs
,
and
Tunicle
compassing
the
ribs
;
but
because
the
spirits
which
are
Authors
of
pleurisies
are
obliged
by
strange
unions
;
for
the
radical
tinctures
of
all
diseases
conspire
amongst
themselves
,
and
easily
admit
mixtions
the
Authors
of
Transplantation
.
The
pricking
of
the
sides
is
caused
either
from
the
obstruction
of
the
Milt
and
Liver
,
or
from
Wind.
The
Empyema
or
suppuration
is
a
collection

Joannes

will
cure
this
disease
;
so
also
Sulphur

prepared
cures
it
.
The
Empyema
is
cured
by
the
Empyema

Paracels

in
his
cures
saith
,
that
a
noble
woman
had

The

adduce
in

of

are
for
the

true
;
some

The
cure
.
In
the
curing
of
the
palpitation
of
the
heart
,
there
are
to
be
administred
deoppilatives
and
unobstructive
medicines
of
the
spirit
of
life
,
of
which
sort
are
the
liquor
of
Gold
,
the
oil
of
Margarites
and
Corals
.
Michael
in
his
Apolog.
fol.
173.
saith
,
that
Pearls
,
or
Margarites
do
especially
help
the
affects
of
the
heart
.
So
the
vertues
of
Corals
(
amongst
the
rest
)
are
commended
,
because
they
bring
hilarity
and
alacrity
to
the
heart
,
and
because
they
purifie
the
bloud
,
and
restore
a
heavenly
body
unto
a
temperate
habit
and
absolute
mediocrity
by
a
certain
vertue
and
power
.

The
spirit
of

being
reduced
unto
sweetness
and
some
pleasantness
of
a
sweet

is
a
comfortative
secret

so
also
if
the
Messaraical
veins
be
obstructed
,
the
same
diseases
ensue
from
the
obstinate
and
inveterate
obstruction
.
The
Schirrus

,
which
is
a

humour
and
glistering
In
the
general
explication
of
diseases
it
is
said
,
that
every
member
hath
his
Ventricle
,
in
which
the
nutriment
is
separated
from
the
impure
matter
,
and
the
impure
is
expelled
by
the
emunctory
places
,
which
is
twofold
,
of
Sulphur
and
Salt
;
but
if
they
be
not
expelled
,
but
persist
in
the
Ventricle
of
every
member
,
from
thence
there
follows
an
obstruction
of
the
spirit
of
life
,
and
from
the
obstruction
there
rises
a
corruption
and
putrifaction
of
a
member
.
First
,
tartar
dominates
;
from
tarrar
alone
the
chronical
diseases
are
begot
.
Secondly
,
Sulphur
predominates
;
from
tartar
and
Sulphur
are
begot
acute
and
inflammatory
diseases
;
but
if
tartar
alone
remain
and
Sulphur
be
expelled
there
ensues
a
phthisis
,
pining
,
and
consumption
,
not
only
of
a
member
but
of
the
whole
body
,
by
reason
the
heaven
is
destroyed
;
but
if
the
Sulphur
and
Salt
remain
mixt
,
and
Sulphur
predominate
,
then
they
produce
prunella
,
pleurisies
,
and
bub●
,
which
is
not
only
to
be
understood
of
the
Liver
,
but
also
of
other
members
.
From
hence
I
find
it
true
,
how
many
members
so
many
deaths
;
this
is
the
Generation
of
the
phthisis
and
inflammation
in
the
Liver
.
The
signs
of
the
inflammation
are
the
burning

,

which
are

by
which
calamities
or
enmity
(

they
be

it
may

(

comes
to

)
by
reason
of
the
vehemency
and
intollerableness
of
the
disease
makes
one
to
expect
death
;
from
one
root
are
Fevers
and

begot
.
But
how
do
they
differ
?
I
answer
,
the
spirit
of
life
as
yet
predominates
in
Fevers
,
but
in
the
prunella
,
by
reason
of
the
more
potent

,

yield

Of
the
diseases
of
the
Intestines
and
their
Causes
and
Signs
.
THe
more
grievous
diseases
of
the
Intestines
are
the
Obstruction
,
Astriction
,
Inflammation
,
Imposthume
and
Ulcer
.
The
obstruction
interpels
and
hinders
either
the
descending
of
the
aliment
,
or
the
evacuation
of
excrements
which
are
especially
functions
of
the
Intestines
.
The
Obstruction
of
the
Intestines
according
to
Paracelsus
is
caused
from
tartar
which
is
generated
in
Lib.

the
Intestines
when
the
salt
of
the
thing
and
the
salt
of
Nature
are
commixt
,
and
when
the
excrement●
of
the
belly
stay
longer
in
the
Intestines
.
This
commixtion
if
it
be
continual
and
increased
by
little
and
little
,
by
the
efficacy
of
heat
at
last
it
doth
so
incrass
that
it
obstructs
the
Intestines
altogether
,
and
doth
(
as
it
were
)
kill
them
,
and
▪
becometh
the
cause
of
occult
and
difficult
diseases
.
Fernelius
saith
,
we
testifie
that
these
are
true
which
(
notwithstanding
)
are
not
thought
probable
unto
Galen
.
This
tartareous
and
styptick
matter
(
being
collected
long
in
the
cavities
of
Colon
and
the
blind
gut
)
sometime
congeals
into
stones
which
stop
the
way
altogether
for
the
excrements
,
and
hinders
them
whereby
they
may
less
be
able
to
descend
to
the
belly
;
when
these
hurts
are
present
,
the
courage
and
strength
fails
,
and
there
is
a
crudity
of
the
Ventricle
,
and
a
slow
dejection
of
the
belly
,
and
much
wind
do
make
a
noise
.
The
coarctation
and
straitness
of
the
Intestines
is
somewhat
like
the
obstruction
,
and
it
is
caused
by
the
vertue
of
those
which
are
ingested
or
carryed
in
,
whether
they
be
meats
or
astringent
glisters
.
But
this
is
frequent
from
the
tumour
of
the
mesenterium
or
bowels
pressing
the
Intestines
.
The
inflammation
also
doth
happen
unto
the
Intestines
,
when
the
seeds
of
Arsenick
,
Sulphur
,
and
Auripigmentam
are
resolved
in
them
.
Then
a
pain
at
first
sharp
and
lancing
is
begot
fixt
in
the
same
place
.
The
burning
Fever
and
frustrate
desire
of
sitting
concomitates
and
accompanies
this
inflammation
.
The
imposthume
being
burst
there
comes
forth
at
first
a
filthy
and
excrementitious
filth
,
afterward
a
white
and
concocted
out
of
the
fundament
,
and
it
is
either
dreggish
or
somewhat
before
the
dregs
in
which
it
is
wont
to
be
clensed
and
expelled
,
and
then
the
pain
,
fever
and
other
symptoms
are
mitigated
,
and
the
belly
(
the
obstacle
being
removed
)
doth
freely
avoid
,
yet
there
is
an
Ulcer
remaining
from
the
Imposthume
and
Tenasm
.
This
pain
is
fixt
,
of
whose
sense
the
Intestines
are
debilitated
;
oftentimes
they
depose
their
load
and
belch
forth
sometime
a
bloudy
,
sometime
a
purulent
filthiness
,
and
that
if
it
be
hollow
,
because
it
consists
in
the
humid
part
,
and
that
which
is
easily
passed
through
,
it
remains
long
filthy
,
and
scarcely
at
last
is
obducted
and
covered
with
a
scar
;
unless
heed
be
taken
diligently
it
almost
ends
in
a
Fistula
or
Cancer

Concerning
the
Diarrhaea
,
read
the
Galenists
.
The
Colliquation
or
melting
away
of
the
Intestines
may
be
referred
to
the
Diarrhaea
,
in
which
that
which
proceeds
from
within
seems
as
it
were
perfused
with
fat
or
oil
;
hence
it
comes
to
pass
that
the
substance
of
fat
or
flesh
,
or
of
solid
parts
being
newly
congealed
may
melt
and
flow
away
into
the
b●unch
by
the
protracting
disease
.
This
kind
of
flux
is
very
usual
unto
those
which
have
the
pestilence
,
fever
,
and
melting
causes
,
the
Hectick
and
Phthisis
,
sometime
to
those
that
have
the
atrophia
and
inflammations
of
the
bowels
.
The
Dysentery
is
a
difficulty
of
the
belly
.
Hippocrates
seems
to
take
it
not
for
the
Ulceration
of
the
Intestines
(
as
most
Physicians
do
)
but
for
the
bloody
flux
of
the
Intestines
.
Celsus
makes
the
Dysentery
simply
to
be
wringings
.
Hippocrates
de
affect
.
saith
,
this
disease
is
begot
when
Choler
and
Flegm
burthen
the
veins
and
belly
.
The
bloud
corrupts
,
and
the
corrupted
departs
.
The
Intestine
is
diseased
,
gnawed
,
and
exulcerated
.
This
disease
becomes
long
,
laborious
,
and
mortal
;
if
the
patient
have
a
strong
body
he
may
be
cured
,
and
there
is
hope
of
life
,
but
if
the
belly
be
melted
and
altogether
ulcerated
,
there
is
no
hope
of
life
.
The
principal
cause
of
the
Dysentery
is
Gods
punishment
,
which
is
set
down
Levit.
26.
and
Deut.
28.

The

because
this

is

hereditary
;
So
that
the
Stone
is
procreated
in
the
reyns
of
many
.
The
Stone
of
the
reyns
according
to
Paracelsus
is
generated
from
the
tartar
of
bloud
and
urine
.

And
of
the
Mechanical
process
of
the
generation
of
the
stone
of
the
reyns
and
the
bladder
.
From
hence
the
substance
of
the
reyns
is
thrusted
forth
into
an
hollow
and
pulled
out
,
and
divulsing
a
part
of
the
reyn
to
which
it
cleaves
without
the
sense
of
pain
,
and
as
it
were
dilacerating
or
tearing
it
,
it
produceth
a
filth
which
is
avoided
with
the
urine
,
and
makes
it
crass
,
turbulent
,
and
somewhat
black
.
The
stone
of
the
bladder
,
if
it
be
little
(
not
long
after
)
it
comes
to
the
head
of
the
Ureters
,
from
whence
it
proceeds
into
the
bladder
which
great
violence
,
and
most
intollerable
Nephritical
pain
.
If
it
be
somewhat
crasser
,
rough
,
and
sharp
,
it
sticks
longer
in
the
passage
,
and
dilacerates
the
Ureter
with
a
great
torment
,
it
remains
in
the
capacity
by
reason
of
the
thickness
of
it
,
and
because
the
passage
of
the
Ureter
is
not
broad
enough
.
The
Nephritical
pain
is
a
most
cruel
torment
of
the
Reyns
,
or
else
of
the
Ureter
,
which
certainly
hath
an
excellent
sense
.
This
pain
is
nothing
but
a
paroxism
of
the
Stone
sticking
in
the
reyns
or
ureter
.
This
pain
is
usual
and
frequent
unto
many
.

if
so
be
it
be
hanged
about
the
neck
.
For
this
cause
the
Indians
carry
it

divers
colours

It
is
affirmed
to
have
such
vertue
,
that
if
it
be
hang'd
on
the
arm
,
and
carried
about
the
patient
will
forthwith
be
lightned
,
and
the
pain
diminished
,
and
the
most
of
the
sand

expelled
.
If
any
shall
make
a
bracelet
of
that
stone
,
which
he
may
carry
about
with
him
continually
,
the
patient
shall
be
affected

stone

carries
it
so

A
specifical
remedy
,
and
often
proved
by
experience
for
the
expelling
of
the
stone
of
the
reyns
,
which
is
thus
made
;
take
the
little
stones
which
are
found
in
March
in
the
ventricle
of
an
Oxe
,
with
white
wine
;
so
also
in
May
,
there
is
found
a
little
stone
in
the
bladder
of
the
gall
of
the
Oxe
,
which
if
it
be
put
in
wine
it
gets
a
Saffron
colour
,
the
tast
being
a
little
changed
,
let
the
patient
drink
of
this
being
dayly
affused
or
sprinkled
with
new
wine
untill
the
stone
which
is
put
in
the
wine
be
consumed
;
by
this
means
it
is
approved
by
experience
that
the
stone
will
be
bruised
and
diminished
;
so
also
the
black
and
red
pease
is
effective
,
because
the
decoction
of
red
pease
is
very
diuretick
and
wholsome
to
those
which
are
troubled
with
the
stone
.
The
black
pease
cures
poisons
and
bruises
the
stone
.
The
seed
of
the
herb
Saxifrage
and
White-plant
especially
cures
the
stone
of
the
reyns
.
There
are
some
gums
which
expel
the
stone
,
as
the
gum
of
Cherry
trees
drunk
with
wine
.
There
are
some
stones
as
Lyncurias
which
heals
the
stillicidium
or
dropping
of
urine
,
and
being
drunk
expels
the
stone
.
So
also
there
are
some
herbs
and
roots
,
as
Sorrel
,
Seaholm
,
Betony
,
Vervin
,
Scordion
,
Mugwort
,
the
root

of

;
So
the
pains
of
the
Podagra
shall
be
,
and
their
signs
shall
vary
.
The
tinctures
of
salts
are
sour

and
of

of
Sulphur
,
Pearl

Alume
,
Medlar
,
Nettle
,
and
Arsemart
,
but
amongst
these
the
tincture
of
Niter
and
common
salt
produce
most
grievous
and
sharp
pains
.
The
pains
of
salts
of
Pearls
and
Sulphur
are
more
vehement
than
those
of
the
spirits
of
the
Alumish
nature
,
and
sal
gemmae
.
Sour
,
Alumish
,
Styptical
,
and
Barberizated
tinctures
are
the
authors
of
coldness

frigidity
,
The
Sulphur
and
tinctures
of
the
nature
of
Cuccopintle
,
mixt
with
the
spirits
of
Arsenick
do
cause
redness

heat

inflammations

This
is
it
which
Paracels

namely
,
that

may

that

THe

is
a

affliction

and
contagion
for

sins

;
it
is
of

The
supernatural
plague
permissively
from
Satan
,
is
when
God
permits
Sathan
to
punish
men
for
sin
.
This
most
tyrannous
enemy
both
of
God
and
man
is
sorry
that
he
cannot
overthrow
God
and
man
,
as
Job
witnesseth
in
his
history
.
Again
the
plague
rises
from

The
natural
plague
is
twofold
,
one
is
generation
from
the
impression
of
the
Stars
;
the
other
is
from
the
imagination
of
the
Microcosm
.
The
plague
of
impression
proceeds
from
the
firmament
of
Heaven
,
God
punishing
men
by
second
causes
uses
the
conjunction
of
Mars
and
Saturn
,
or
the
Ecclipses
of
malevolous
Stars
,
as
the
father
which
punisheth
the
son
useth
the
rod.
The
beams
of
these
stars
(
being
of
the
nature
of
Arsenick
,
of
Sulphur
,
Mars
,
Woolfs
milk
,
Woolf
bane
and
Hemlock
)
infect
the
spiritual
and
corporal
nutriment
.
This
is
the
generation
of
the
plague
from
the
astral
influence
.
But
men
infected
with
the
Haemorrhoids
and
Plague
infect
the
sound
onely
with
their
look
.
But
much
more
many
are
infected
from
the
look
of
women
which
are
affected
with
the
menstruum
and
Plague
.
Again
the
Plague
may
come
by
breath
,
heat
,
sweat
,
smells
,
dwelling
in
some
place
,
and
by
the
clothes
of
the
infected
.
The
Plague
may
rise
from

It
is
not

This
changing
or
mutation
must
be
instituted

to
the
Astronomical
Science
,
otherwise
any

to
fly

For

preservation

prepared
truely
Spagitically
in
his
bed
in
the
morning
,
and
let
him
sweat
;
This
medicine
preserves
six
days
from
the
Plague
.
The
second
preservative
is
calcinated
Sulphur
(
taken
with
Mirth
and
Aloepaticum
and
Sugar
)
preserves
that
day
from
all
astrall
impression
.
The
third
preservative
,
the
Zenecthon
of
Paracels
.
hang'd
about
the
neck
hinders
the
attractive
virtue
of
the
Microcosm
.
The
fourth
,
the
herb
Celandine
gathered
in
the
full
moon
,
and
carried
about
,
is
a
preservative
against
the
poysonful
look
of
women
and
men
.
The
fift
preservative
;
those
which
are
busied
about
the
infected
let
them
hold
Francincense
in
their
mouths
,
and
let
the
infected
hold
the
roots
of
Juniper
.
The
sixt
,
the
essence
of
the
bloud
of
the
Hart
and

are
most
excellent
preservatives
.
Seventh
,
the
most
excellent
of
all
is
the
Alexipharmacum

;
the
same
may
be
done
by

These
mysteries
of
nature
if
they
be
given
in
a
convenient
dosis
they
will
expell
the
Plague
alltogether
.
The
particular
Cure
.
As
soon
as
the
infected
feels
the
poyson
of
the
Plague
,
let
those
which
are
come
to
years
take
a
spoonful
of
the
abovenamed
pestiential
potion
of
Paracels
.
let
the
younger
sort
take
two
spoonful
or
more
or
less
according
unto
the
conditions
of
the
patient
,
and
let
him
sweat
well
four
or
five
hours
,
when
six
hours
are
past
,
let
him
take
the
third
dosis
,
especially
if
the
pricking
hath
left
him
;
for
by
the
third
dosis
(
God
assisting
)
all
the
poyson
is
expell'd
by
sweat
;
let
the
patient
take
three
days
following
every
morning
one
dosis
of
the
forenamed
drink
,
whereby
he
may
be
corroborated
and
comforted
.
The
same
is
effected
by
the
Spagirical
Alexipharmacum
,
of
which
let
those
which
are
come
to
years
take
and
that
thrice
in
24.
hours
;
let
the
younger
sort
take
&
three
days
following
let
him
every
morning
take
a
dosis
in
wine
and
vinegar
of
roses
,
and
appropriated
water
.
When
the
impostumes
burst
forth
,
let
there
be
a
plaister
laid
to
made
of
Figs
and
fruits
of
Alkeck
equally
of
them
being
bruised
together
,
so
forthwith
they
will
burst
forth
,
for
poyson
attracts
poyson
;
when
the
impostums
burst
and
the
poyson
peirces
unto
the
heart
they
are
not
poyson
,
but
are
made
poyson
by
reason
of
the
Antipathy
,
even
as
all
antipathetical
things
,
if
they
be
conjoyned
degenerate
into
poyson
.
The
external
sign
of
it
is
beheld
from
a
line
drawn
from
the
centre
of
the
Apostem
unto
the
Heart
.
Let
inverted
grapes
,
if
they
be
green
,
be
bruised
,
if
dry
,
then
macerate
them
in
wine
,
or
distilled
Vinegar
,
and
let
them
be
put
in
and
taken
forth
twice
or
thrice
;
these
grapes
extract
poyson
from
men
and
women
which
are
far
gon
in
the
Ague
and
recover
them
again
.
This
secret
and
specifical
virtue
of
this
simple
may
worthily
make
us
admire
in
regard
of
the
efficacy
of
it
against
the
symptoms
of
the
Plague
;
let
him
use
in
the
constipation
of
the
belly
the
extract
of
Rhubarbarum
or
Lysimachium
;
let
the
poorer
sort
drink
of
the
leaves
of
Lysimachium
.
Those
which
have
a
Disentery
or
diarrhaea
,
joyned
with
the
Plague
,
let
them
take
in
the
morning
,
noon
and
night
of
Crocus

in
the
extract

Galingale

they
are
not
loosened
though
they
should
eat
of
Ellebore
,
and
this
is
a
principal
sign
of
the
Lepry
,
that
they
are
not
moved
with
laxatives
,
and
when
the
urine
demonstrates
putrefaction
by
a
stink
,
it
is
a
sign
of
the
Lepry
.
But
these
seem
contrary
;
when
they
are
considered
more
accurately
there
is
no
dissention
or
contrariety
,
for
they
are
derived
from
one
and
the
same
fountain
.
The
Lepry
is
generated
from
the
sublimation
of
Mercury
,
even
as
in
sublimation
Mercury
penetrates
through
all
the
pores
and
most
narrow
clifts
of
the
glass
:
so
the
liqnor
of
Mercury
,
or
matter
of
the
Lepry
penetrates
through
the
superiour
and
inferiour
parts
of
the
body
,
and
appears
in
the
skin
with
scales
and
filthiness
.
The
Lepry
is
begot
of
salt
,
viz.
the
destruction
which
nature
expell's
outwardly
hath
a
tartareous
liquor
commixed
;
for
the
exulceration
of
the
skin
is
manifest
in
the
Lepry
.
The
Lepry
is
generated
from
putrefacted
Sperm
,
(
that
is
)
from
inbred
corrupted
balsame
,
from
whence
there
follows
the
corruption
and
putrefaction
of
the
whole
body
.
There
are
four
Species
of
the
Lepry
;
the
Leonina
,
the
Elephantasia
,
the
Alopecia
,
and
the
Morphea

and

though

seem
to

somewhat
amongst
themselves
,
yet
they
are
all
grounded
and
conspire
in

root
,
but
they
differ
in
signs
;
lib.

de
cura
Leprae
,
he
divideth
the
Lepry
into
two
Species
,
and
in
the
cure
of
the
Lepry
he
saith
,
there
are
two
species
of
the
Lepry
,
viz.
r●d
and
white
;
The
white
Lepry
is
so
called
by
reason
of
the
white
cure
;
the
red
is
so
called
by
reason
of
the
red
cure
.
These
are
the
signs
of
the
white
Lepry
,
the
white
colour
of
the
skin
,
the
stinking
breath
of
the
mouth
,
the
hoarsnesse
of
the
voice
,
and
the
dregs
of
the
excrements
,
are
correspondent
to
the
stinking
breath
of
the
mouth
.
These
are
the
signs
of
the
red
Lepry
,
the
ulceration
of
the
skin
,
the
Serpigo
with
an
itching
,
and
he
pu●tula
.
The
cause
of
the
Lepry
(
whether
white
or
red
)
is
the
destruction
of
Salt
,
or
balsame
in
the
Microcosm
.
The
destruction
proceeds
from
the
being
of
poyson
,
from
poyson
also
putrefaction
proceeds
,
from
whence
all
the
species
of
the
Lepry
are
.
The
old
writers
said
that
Paracels
.
(
lib.
3.
paramir
.
tract
5.
)
shews
the
process
and
means
of
curing
the
Lepry
,
and
it
is
twofold
,
1.
is
of
the
preserving
from
putrefaction
;
the
2.
is
of
the
cure
of
the
Lepry
.
Those
which
pertain
unto
conservation
are
the
extractions
of
Antimony
,
the
essence
of
blood
which
is
extracted
from
the
heart
vein
,
the
liquor
of
Pearls
and
Corals
,
the
specifical
of
the
grains
of
Juniper
,
balmmint
,
Succory
,
and

saith
,
that
the
French
Pocks
is
generated
from
the
sublimation
of
Mercury
,
which
is
altogether
poysonful
,
and
penetrates
and
exulcerates
the
skin
by
a
corroding
violence
.
In
another
place
he
saith
,
that
it
is
generated
from
corrupt
blood
,
and
that
truly
;
for
the
poyson
of
Lues
Venerea
presently
causes
putrefaction
;
from
putrefaction
there
proceeds
the
corrosive
being
of
poyson
,
or
the
sublimation
of
Mercury
,
or
the
separation
of
salt
.

the
signs

it

And
in
the
kinds
of
Morbus
Gallicus
you
m●y
observe
a
purgation
,
a
cure
,
and
an
observation
;
of
which
these
few
are
to
be
noted
:
First
purge
the
infected
with
the
Pocks
,
with
Xeniotenium
(
that
is
)
with
●●●●cury
prepared
for
the
French
Pocks
,
whereby
the
cause
of
the
disease
is
expell'd
together
with
the
peccant
matter
.
The
Dosis
and
the
quantity
of
this
medicament
is
to
be
observed
in
regard
of
the
patient
.
Furthermore
if
the
Pocks
stick
on
the
skin
outwardly
,
or
if
the
pain
of
the
joynts
be
more
grievous
,
anoint
the
body
with
the
oyl
which
is
extracted
from
Realgar
,
or
fixed
Arsnick
,
and
the
patient
will
soon
be
well
and
restored
.
The
Mercury
of
Gold
is
a
most
excellent
remedy
against
the
French
Pocks
.

CHAP.

.
Of
Feavers
and
their
causes
.
WE
have
demonstrated
in
the
general
tertian
,
quartan
,
quintan
,
sextan
,
and
monthly
circuits
of
the
year
;
by
the
same
reason
the
proportions
of
the
circuits
shall
be
observed
,
as
what
like
the
proportion
of
the
first
is
unto
the
second
,
such
like
shall
be
proportion
of
the
second
to
the
third
,
and
of
the
fourth
to
the
fift
,
and
so
forward
.
Oftentimes
the
circuits
of
paroxisms
are
transplanted
by
external
impressions
,
and
that
is
when
the
tinctures
of
the
interiour
and
more
potent
stars
have
conspired
;
which
conspiring
admit
equivocal
generations
,
because
the
roots
of
Feavers
emitting
from
thence
are
Hermophroditical
.
So
the
tertian
degenerate
into
the
quartan
and
quotidian
,
and
the
quartan
into
the
quintan
;
again
the
erratical
degenerate
into
the
quartan
Feavera
,
nd
the
intermitting
into
the
continual
,
&
contra
.
The
Seminal
tinctures
of
the
impurities
of
Feavers
are
Homogeneous
and
Heterogeneous
,
the
Homogeneous
are
equally
mature
,
and
by
continuation
of
time
are
conserved
in
the
resolutions
of
the
fruits
,
as
in
the
burning
Feaver
,
Hectick
Feaver
,
Pleurifie
,
Prunella
,
and
Plague
,
and
such
like
diseases
.
The
Heterogeneneous
are
those
which
contain
the
tinctures
which
are
to
be
effected
by
the
flourishing
of
the
fruits
,
some
of
them
are
nigher
to
maturity
,
some
more
remote
▪
from
hence
it
comes
to
pass
that
the
mature
parts
doe
fiorish
for
to
day
,
to
morrow
,
or
the
third
day
,
in
which
the
lots
of
the
second
maturity
have
happened
in
the
third
circuit
,
which
have
begun
the
third
praedestinations
and
that
continually
unto
the
consumption
of
all
resolutions
defined

For
the
removal
of
the
Feavers
,
there
must
first
be
made
a
purgation
of
the
Feaver
,
then
a
specifical
cure
,
and
causal
diminution
is
to
be
made
.
The
best
cure
of
the
Feaver
is
,
that
which
Paracel
.
calls
Diacelta●esson
,
and
it
is
Antimony
,
It
resolvs
&
expells
the
sulphureous
tinctures
by
vomit
,
stool
,
urine
,
insensible
sweat
,
&
transpirations
;
furthermore
there
must
be
administred
the
spirit
of
Vitriol
,
in
which
the
specifical
cure
consists
.
The
universal
cure
against
all
Feavers
,
especially
quartan
,
is
,
salarmoniacum
seven
times
sublimated
and
made
altogether
spirital
must
be
taken
hot
in
a
draught
of
wine
or
ale
,
and
make
the
patient
sweat
.
Let
him
use
this
medicament
eight
days
with
a
fasting
stomach
in
the
morning
;
it
is
sour
and
maketh
hungry
.
These
following
are
available
against
all
Feavers
,
the
quintessences
of
Opiates
of
Theophrast
.
the
sweet
oil
of
Sulphur
,
the
red
oyl
of
Vitriol
made
of
Vitriolum
Ungaricum
and
drunk
out
of
the
water
of
Barley
;
the
Philosophers
stone
;
the
less
Centory
boyled
in
ale
,
and
mixt
with
Sugar
by
reason
of
the
bitterness
,
let
him
take
a
good
draught
in
the
morning
;
the
flowers
of
Antimony
being
fixt
in
hot
wine
,
and
let
the
patient
be
well
covered
in
his
bed
,
and
let
him
sweat
;
Let
him
take
of
the
Salt
of
wormwood
in
wine
,
and
let
him
sweat
.
The
juice
of
Wormwood
mixt
with
sugar
is
a
very
good
remedy
against
the
Feaver
;
the
oyl
of
Wormwood
,
he
better
salt
of
the
Succory
,
and
Carduus
Benedictus
.
So
also
the
salt
of
Gold
,
and
tartar
of
Gold
,
and
the
spirit
of
Vitriol
are
very
good
.
It
is
be
observed
in
certain
Feavers
,
especially
in
the
tertian
,
and
in
all
other
Astral
,
Epidemical
,
Mercurial
,
and
Auripigmental
diseases
,
that
a
vein
be
not
cut
;
for
it
hath
come
to
pass
,
that
The
especial
and
immediate
cause
of
the
generation
of
worms
is
putrefaction
,
though
Paracels
.
seem
somewhat
to
go
from
this
assertion
.
The
Cure
,
killing
and
expelling
of
worms
is
deprehended
to
be
in
specificals
,
of
which
kind
are
the
essence
of
black
Ellebor
,
Saint
Johns
wort
,
the
extract
of
the
leavs
of
the
birch
tree
,
and
the
salt
of
Vitriol
.
So
also
those
which
expel
putrefaction
and
corruption
,
of
which
kind
are
Diaphoreticks
,
Diaphoretical

,

These
