CAP. XXX. De Tremore.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, seu Tremor, Trembling is a depravati∣on of the voluntary motion, (by reason of the which the member elevated and lift up can∣not be kept in its own proper scituation) arising from the debility and weakness of the faculty of motion.
As for the Prognostick: Trembling of it self is not dangerous; but if it be in old people it con∣tinueth with them till they die, ob spirituum & cerebri magnam imbecillitatem. Per accidens ta∣men lethalis esse potest, in as much as it usually goes before a Lethargy, an Apoplexie, Palsie, or Con∣vulsion.
For those Remedies that are taken inwardly, these following are chiefly commended; viz. The Essence of Balm, and Staechas of Arabia; among the medicaments that are to be externally ad∣ministred, these are highly approved of, to wit, the oil of the flowers of Trifoyl, or the three-leafed grass; Ol. Vulpinum, or the oil of a Fox, the oil of Castor, and Pepper. Vide etiam infra, ca∣pite de Paralysi.
