CAP. XXXVII. De Apoplexia.
〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉. The Apoplexie, is a sudden abo∣lition of all the Animal functions, the breathing alone remaining, (and this likewise now and then exceedingly afflicted) arising from the streightness and shutting up of the passages, (especially about the Basis of the brain) by the which the Animal spirits are derived unto the members; vel si brevius definire velis; Apoplex∣ia est totius corporis sensus & motus privatio. Et 〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉〈 in non-Latin alphabet 〉, à percutiendo, nomen habet: quòd qui laborant, veluti de coelo percussi videantur.
Men in Apoplexies die▪ in seven days, as Hip∣pocrates teacheth, except a Fever take them. Illa autem febris acuta esse debet, and essentially springing from the inflamation of the humors and spirits, or else it will not discuss the matter which causeth the Apoplexie. It must also come in the beginning of the disease, whiles nature is in some strength, otherwise it is deadly, as Hippocrates in Coacis sheweth. Apoplexia urina rubea mortem significat. Apoplexia vel citò interficit, vel in pa∣ralysi, aut memoriae laesione desinit. A faint sweat in an Apoplexie is ev••l, magnam enim na∣turae oppressionem denotat.
