¶ To presage by signes of vomiting in Feuers.

WHen it seemes to the feb••••citant that their is flies and black things appeare before his eyes with dolor in the head without other bad signes or mortall, thou mayst pre∣sage vomiting of yealow chollor especially when the pati∣ent feeles dolor at the mouth or opening of the stomack. And if he feele stiffenes, chilues or cold with it, in the infe∣rior parts vnder the Hyppcondria, the vomiting shall bee so much the more hastened. And if the patient doe thē eate and take repasse he shall presently vomit. And to presage most apparantly when the dolor of the head molesteth the person in the first day of the feuer & be augmēted the fourth or fift day, the feuer will end on the seauenth & the person shall be cured. And if the dolor begin the third day & aug∣ment in the fift or seauenth, the feuer shall end the Nynth or eleauenth day. And if the dolor begin the fift day with conuenient vrine and other good signes it shall end the 24. day and this happneth aswell in women as in men, and e∣specially in tertian feuers to persons 30. yeares of age, and to young persons in continuall feuers and perfit tertians. And when there doe not appeare flies in the feuer with do∣lor of the head nor black thinges coruscant and resplendēt or shining as lampes and splendor or brightnes & that the patient feeles tortion or tumor or inflation vnder one of ye sides, he shall haue in place of vomiting of inflammation & of dolor flux of blood at nose and this happeneth chiefly to yong persons vnder 30 yeares, and to older most commō∣ly vomiting. And yong children vnder 7. yeares olde fall into a sound by hot feuers especially when they are bound or constipated in the bellie and sleepe & change color, some∣time pale, then red, greene, or liuide, but those which ex∣ceede 7 or 8 yeares they fall most often into a swound. If there hap not some perillous and dangerous signes as of Phrensie.
