LXII Of the Stone in the Kidneys THe material Cause of the Stone in the Kidneys is a phlegmatick feculent thick slimy and tartarous Humour in the Urine the efficient Cause is Heat which drieth and hardneth the Matter and at length turneth it into a Stone this is the Opinion of Hippocrates and Galen and most modern Physitians The Hermetick Physitians have found a certain Juyce which they call Succus Lapidiscens which is a certain Humour naturally proper to turn to a Stone and this they say is the material Cause of the Stone and the efficient Cause to be Spiritus Lapidiscens a stone-making Spirit So that if a man eat or drink any thing wherein the Stony Juyce is that Juyce is turned into a Stone if the Reins have a Stone-making Spirit But if the Reins be free from this Spirit a Stone is not bred unlesse the stony-Juyce be very predominate on the contrary if the Reins have this stony Faculty and the Food be free from this Juyce the Stone is scarcely engendered unlesse the stone-making Faculty be very predominate Many Historyes shew that Stones come from a stone-making spirit or Breath out of the Earth which hath turned the Bodyes of Men Beasts and other things into Stone Riverius upon this Subject in his last Edition quoteth Aventius Annal. Bavar lib. 7 An. 1343 who saith that above fifty men with many Cows were turned into Stone Ortellius tells the same story of whole heards in Russia And Camerarius reporteth that in the Province of Chilo in Armenia at the blast of a South Wind which happeneth four times in a year whole Troops of horse have been turned into Statues of stone standing in the warlick posture in which they were before The Antecedent Causes are many The Stomach being not able to concoct well sendeth a crude Chyle to the Liver A hot Liver doth bake the chylous Matter or a cold Liver maketh crude Blood the Spleen weak or obstructed doth not sufficiently purge the drossy Blood these do cause even the Blood or crude Juyces fit to make a Stone Likewise the Reins besides their conjunct Cause may be an Antecedent Cause in two respects viz. their Temper and Form First their Temper being hot doth violently draw the crude Matter and thicken it In respect of their Form the emulgent Veins may be loose and fit to receive the tartarous Matter into the Reins and the Ureters so narrow that the thick Matter hath not passage from the Kidneys Lastly all Food that produceth crude thick and slimy Nourishment doth afford Matter for the Stone as Flesh or Fish that is very salt or dryed in the smoak Pulse Cheese and all Milk-Meats hard Eggs Chesnuts Pears Quinces Medlars Rice Wine thick and not well purged standing Waters all things which make the Liver and Reins too hot as old strong Wine Garlick Onions Pepper and Ginger too strong Diureticks which carry crude Matter too violently to the Reins violent Excercise after Meat inordinate Lechery too much Fulnesse or Emptinesse and the like The Signs of the Stone of the Kidneys are many viz. a constant pain about the Loyns whilst it is in the hollow of the Kidneys the pain is heavy when it gets into the head of the Ureters sharp and pricking and so continueth unlesse it get back again or fall into the Cavity of the Bladder The Urine is sometimes bloody by reason of the opening Corrosion of the Veins or cutting of the tender Flesh of the Kidneys sometimes it is thin and little in Quantity Voiding of Sand and Stones is an evident sign of the Stone but if the Patient voideth Gravell without stones be not too hasty in your Judgment but take the Caution given you in the 60 Chapter Of the Hypocondriack Melancholy The Thigh on the same side the Back is pained becometh numb because the Stone doth oppresse the Nerve which is in the Muscles of the Loyns under the Reins and goeth to the Hip for its Motion The Sick loatheth and vomiteth often by reason of the Connexion of the Kidneys with the Stomach the Stomach sympathetically sensible endeavoureth to exclude that hurtful companion Be sure you make a distinction between the Stone in the Kidneys and the Chollick have recourse to the 43 Chapter where I have left a few Rules This Disease is very dangerous and bringeth many and sad Symptoms as Inflammations Exulcerations great Pains long Watchings Weaknesse Feavers Suppression of Urine and Death it self It is difficult to cure if not incurable in old men saith Hippocrates with whom Experience agreeth If the pain hath continued long and violent and the Sick grow externally cold with cold and faint Sweats Death is at hand If the Stone be accompanied with an Ulcer of the Kidneys it is incurable because those things which do break the Stone do exasperate the Ulcer The Cure of the Stone in the Kidneys consisteth in mollifying enlarging or relaxing and throwing the Stone out of the Ureters to break the Stone if it be too big for the Passage to take away the antecedent Cause and to ease pain which you must do thus first open the Liver-Vein on the same side that is most grieved draw as much Blood as the Constitution of the Patient can well spare Then administer a mollifying and laxative Clister Take of Common and Marsh-Mallows Camomill Penny-royall Pellitory of the Wall and Violet Leavs of each one handfull the Seeds of sweet Fennell Flax and Faenugreek of each half an Ounce boil it in Posset-drink to a Pint strain it and dissolve therein Cassia Catholicon and Diaphaenicon of each three Drachms the Oyls of Rue and Scorpions of each one Ounce make a Clister and administer it Likewise the Oyls of sweet-Almonds Camomill Dill Lillyes and Violets are good to be used in Clisters of this Nature This Clister or one of the same Nature you must give twice or thrice in a week and in the dayes between foment the Region of the Kidneys with a Fomentation made of the aforenamed simples or others of the like Nature which I shall treat of before I put an end to this Chapter Afterwards anoint the part with the Oyls aforenamed Or you may make a Cataplasm of white Bread sodden in white Wine and if you add any of the aforesaid Oyls it will be the better Afterwards lay a Plaister to the place Take of the Oyl of Camomill and Rue of each half an Ounce of Dill and sweet-Almonds of each two Drachms Goose and Hens Grease of each one Drachm with Wax and the compound Melilot Plaister as much as sufficeth make a Plaister and apply it In the mean time you must not forget inward Medicines which have a Faculty to break the Stone to ease pain and mollify and enlarge the Ureters The simples following are approved of viz. the Roots of Asparagus Birthwort Fennell Butchers-Broom Filipendula
Inflammation imposthumate and gather Matter the pain and Feaver encreaseth and the Patient hath shaking Fits and most of all about the Evening Sometimes it turns to an Ulcer which is known by avoiding of snotty Matter or Quittor out of the Womb. If it be party-coloured greenish or Lead coloured stinking and cometh away with great pain it is the worse If it depend upon the French Pox or Gonorthaea their Symptoms will declare the same Sometimes the Inflammation turns not to an Imposthume nor Ulcer but to a painlesse hard Swelling called a Schirrus which is thus known the Feaver and pain ceaseth and the Swelling remaineth there is a hardnesse heavinesse and Sense of Weight bearing down when the Woman standeth As to the Prognostick I shall say a word or two of either of them An Inflammation of the Womb is a dangerous and de adly Symptome especially if the whole Womb be inflamed If a Woman with Child suffer Inflammation of the Womb the Child dyeth and probably the Mother followeth Ravings Hiccoughs Coldnesse of the Hands and Feet and cold Sweats are the Messengers of Death If it imposthumate and turn to an Ulcer it ought not to be slighted because the Womb is of exquisite Sense and hath a fellow-felling with the principall parts of the Body If the Ulcer turns cancrous hollow or fistulous it is seldom or never cured but vexeth the Patient miserably all her life-time An Ulcer in the Neck of the Womb is most easily cured because Medicines may be applyed to them immediatly A Schirrhus or insensible hard Swelling is seldom cured because the naturall Heat is so weak in that part that it can hardly discusse such an hard and almost stony Substance If it be not cured it soon brings a Dropsy and if it be tampered with with over hot and moist Medicines it turns to a Cancer The Cure you must prosecute thus First in the Inflammation of the Womb give a cooling Clister then open the Basilick Vein on the same side the Womb is inflamed if all the Womb be inflamed repeat your Phlebotomy afterwards open the lower Veins Rubbings and Bindings are good and Cupping-Glasses fastened to the Loins and Back Purge the Humour offending with such things as purge gently Then give cooling Juleps or Emulsions to allay the Heat and sharpnesse of the Humours mix therewith Narcoticks to give ease and rest if the Patient be tired out Apply cooling Liniments and Cataplasms In Liniments use the Oyl and Ointment of Roses Galen's cooling Ointment Ceratum Santalinum and such like and with the Oyl of Roses white Bread and Milk make Cataplasms adding the Juyce of Henbane Night-shade Plantant and Sorrell or instead of the white Bread the Meal of Barly Flax and Fenugreek Seed Of such cool Herbs make Injections and Pessaries But use not cooling and repelling too long lest the Tumor be fixed and hardned but rather use softning and discussing Medicines with repelling such as these viz. Marsh and cōmon Mallows Mugwort Melilor Camomill Fenugreek If the Patient be subject to be costive give gentle purgers or mollifying and cooling Clisters If the pain be very violent make Injections with new Milk and a little Opium and make Pessaries of Philonium Romanum and a little Cotton and apply it If it tends to Suppuration apply a Cataplasm made of the aforenamed softning Herbs fat Figs Yolks of Egs Saffion Oyl of Lillyes and fresh Butter When it is broken we must endeavour to purge out the Quitter and cleanse the Ulcer You must often purge with gentle Medicines as Senna Rubarb Tamarinds Mirabolans Agarick Catholicon and such like that the evill Humours may be diverted from the Womb for such who are easy to vomit a gentle Vomit is very profitable Make a vulnerary Drink to cleanse and heal the Ulcer Take of Agrimony Burnet Mugwort Knot-Grasse Plantane and Yarrow of each one Handfull China Root half an Ounce Rha Ponticum one Ounce Currance and French Barly of each two Ounces boil them in Chicken-Broth and let the Patient take somewhat more then a Quarter of a Pint Morning and Evening Venice Turpotine washed in Mugwort Water or in the Water of any other Herb respecting the Ulcer is good to cleanse and heal it If the Humours be sharp and painfull inject the Emulsion of the cold Seeds Goats Milk or for want thereof Cows Milk with the Juyce of Shepherds Purse or of any of the Herbs aforenamed To dry and fill up the Ulcer make a Decoction of the aforenamed Herbs or of the like Nature made in Water wherein Steel hath been quenched or in Plantane Water add thereto Acacia Hypocistis Sanguis Draconis Bolearmenick fine Starch Aristolochia rotunda great Comphry c. Unguentum Egyptiacum de Plumbo de Ceruso and de Apio are very good in Injections and the Oyl of the Yolks of Egs stirred in a Leaden Morter is much more commended If the Ulcer in the Womb come by reason of the French Pox a Fumigation made of Cinnabaris or Minium taken into the Cavity of the Womb hath a peculiar property to cleanse and heal the Ulcer the same virtue hath Quick-Silver Ointments If it come to a Schirrhous Tumor you must purge the melancholy and rebellious Humours and give steeled and such Medicines which powerfully open Obstructions of the Womb or other parts Then you must prepare emollient and resolving Medicaments to be applyed outwardly as the Fomentation and Cataplasm mentioned in the 56 Chapter Of the Schirrbus of the Liver Likewise the Liniment there prescribed may serve here for an Injection To conclude you must use a great deal of care diligence and industry in this Cure lest that the Tumor become harder or which is most dangerous degenerate into a Cancer CHAP. LXXVII Of the Womb swelled by Wind or Water There is a twofold Dropsy of the Womb one from Wind which is like that sort called Tympanites the other from a watry and wheyish Humour answering to Ascites Some add a third answering to Leucophlegmatia which is seldom seen This Wind or Water is contained in the Cavity of the Womb or in the Membranes thereof or in certain Bladders It is caused by the weaknesse of naturall Heat in the Liver or Spleen from which parts Wind Phlegm or wheyish Humours are sent to the Womb or by the weaknesse of the Womb those Humours are collected Causes which weaken the naturall heat of the womb are many viz. cold aire heedlesly taken into the womb or staying in the cold or padling in cold water whilst the courses flow the use of cold meates and drinks add to these abortion hard labour immoderat flux of the Termes all diseases proper to the Womb. This disease is best discovered by signes which distinguish between this and the universall Dropsy of the Belly The Womb-Dropsy causeth a swelling chiefly in the lower Belly in the other Dropsy the swelling is in all parts in this the Body decays not nor there is not such a Thirst and Drinesse of
in the Blood A continuall Tertian doth every third day afflict the Patient more then ordinary and is caused by cholerick Humours putrifying in the Vena Cava And it is caused by all things that may breed Choller as violent Exercise hot and dry Air Fasting Watching Meats hot and dry and a hot and dry Distemper of the Liver A Quoridian continuing is a putrifying of phlegmatick Humours in the Veins and afflicts the Patient more then ordinary every day and doth for the most part assail phlegmatick persons and because Phlegm is not easily putrifyed this kind of Feaver is seldom seen The continuall Quartane is that which hath its Exacerbations or Fits every fourth day and it is caused by the Putrefaction of Melancholy in the Vena cava and is caused of any thing that breeds Melancholy and causeth it to putrify Of these Feavers there are accidentall differences raised from their distinct Symptomes First Febris ardens or a burning Feaver which is accompanied with these Symptomes viz. an ardent burning Heat and an unquenchable Thirst which is also divided into two sorts a Legitimate or bastard burning Feaver a Synochus ardens and Ardens periodica and they differ one from the other only as the Choller causing them is more or lesse sharp and neerer or farther from the heart A Second sort is Febris Colliquans a melting Feaver which in regard of the greatness of the Heat doth melt the fat and Flesh and sometimes the Blood and dissolveth it by insensible Transpiration Sweat Urine or Stool It is caused by a sharp thin and cholerick Matter vehemently inflamed unto which is joyned many times a malignant and pestilent Quality The third sort is called Febris Horrifica in which the Patient is troubled with shaking Firs and it is caused by chollerick and phlegmatick Humours mingled together which being unequally moved stirreth up quaking either because the thin and sharp Humours do twitch the sensible membranous parts or the inflamed Choller putrifying puts in Motion the Crudityes or else Nature doth seek to shake off the crude undigested Humours by this means th● Heat being driven back to the Center the extream parts of the Body become cold and afterwards the Heat comming forth again they grow hot Fourthly there is another kind called Assades Febris in which the Patient is very unquiet tumbleth and tosseth and is sick in his Stomach and vomiteth The fifth sort is call●d Elodes in which the Patient by reason of Putrefaction Malignity of Humours continually sweateth by which the Substance of the Body is wasted The sixth sort is Febris Syncopalis because the Patient often swoons faints away it is caused by thin sharp venemous Choller or by Phlegm or abundance of Crudityes together with a weakness of the Stomach The last sort is Epiala Febris in which the Patient is sensible of Heat Cold at one and the same time and this is caused by glassy Phlegm mingled with bitter Choller the Phlegm causeth a Sense of Cold and the Choller of Heat or else it is caused by glassy Phlegm alone partly putrified and partly void of Putrefaction For glassy and tough Phlegm doth not quickly putrify but by degrees and that which is not putrified following that which is putrified hence comes a Sense of Cold from the first and Heat from the latter There are yet other sorts of accidentall differences of continuall Feavers which are called Symptomatick Feavers which arise from the Inflammation and Putrefaction of the Humours in some of the Bowels and of this kind are those Feavers which accompany the Frenzy the Plurisy Squinzy the Inflammation of the Lungs or Liver and other Inflammations Ulcers or Imposthumes of the internall parts and may be known by the defects of the parts which cause them Yet take this Caution that all these Feavers which accompany these Diseases are not Symptomaticall but sometimes essentiall and precede the Disease as is commonly seen that one may be sick three or four dayes of a continuall Feaver before any pain in the side or Symptome of the Pleurisy appear the sam● you may find preceding the other Diseases and is an Observation worth note and of great Moment in the practise of Physick There are other peculiar and extraordinary Causes which many times happen of which Zechius propoundeth an extraordinary example of a certain Infant scarce two years old who had a continuall Feaver attended with grievous Symptomes viz. Unquietnesse Convulsions and Vomitings the externall parts were cold and the internall parts burned with Heat for which cause they judged that some Malignity was joyned to the Feaver which is seldom accompanied with such Symptomes at length the cause was found to arise from Blood putrifying in the Stomach for the Infant being Tongue-tied and a little before cut by a Chirurgeon the Veins beingcut shed Blood which for want of care fell into the Stomach after the taking of Oyl of sweet Almonds it vomited clotted Blood then by the help of a Clister it voided more downwards and the Feaver and its Symptomes ceased These Feavers are known to be continuall by their Continuity and the Putrefaction is known by a more sharp and biting Heat then ordinary the Pulse is great quick and unequall the Systole is quicker then the Diastole because Nature doth more strive to expel the sooty Vapours then to draw in cold Air. The Fit beginneth with a cold Shaking or some of these Symptomes viz. Wearinesse Watching troubled Sleeps difficult Breathing Pain of the Head and Stomach Plenty of Excrements Yawning and Retching when it comes to the height these Symptoms are heightned and seconded with Giddinesse Ravings Hiccoughs Heart-burning Thirst and Blacknesse and Roughness of the Tongue Particular Signs demonstrate peculiar differences The Synochus putrida hath the same Signs which are proper to Synochus simplex but more vehement Signs of a Feaver from Choller are burning Pain the Pulse swift and quick a fiery and crude Urine without Sediment at the beginning chollerick Vomits and Stools Thirst and Bitternesse of the Mouth Drinesse and Blacknesse of the Tongue Want of Sleep Raving and the like A Synochus putrida differs from a Synochus biliosa in this that the first hath Fits every third day the other keeps the same Tenor. A continuall Quotidian is known by these Signes the Heat at first is more mild afterwards more sharp the Pulse is not so quick nor great as in the former the Urine is at first white and troubled afterwards red and thick little Thirst no Sweat unlesse salt Phlegm abound the Face is swelled bloat and of a Lead Colour and all Signs of Phlegm appear A continuall Quartane is known by this that the Symptomes are not so violent as in the chollerick Feaver and sharper then in the phlegmatick or Quotidian An appearance of cold dry melancholy-Symptomes and the Fits invade the Patient more then ordinary every fourth day The burning Feaver is known by the Signes of a Feaver proceeding from Choller A melting Feaver is
