CHAP. X. Of the Diseases happening in the Winter.

Sect. 3. Aph. 11.

If the Winter be extreme dry and cold, and the wind North, but the Spring very wet, with South winds, of necessity we must expect acute Feavers, sorenesse of the eyes, excoriations of the bowells the next Summer, but especially to the Female Sex, and to men of a moist con∣stitution.

But if the winter be very rainy, and mild and calm with South winds, but the Spring extraor∣dinary dry with North winds, women with Child which expect deliverance in the Spring, will abort upon every slight occasion. And if they are delivered, they will produce weak and sickly Children, such as will suddenly dye, or if they live will be alwayes sickly and small. But to other people excoriations of the bowels, and bleer eyes will arise; but to elderly persons, Fluxes killing in a small space.
