The eight sections of Hippocrates Aphorismes review'd and rendred into English, according to the translation of Anutius Foesius ; digested into an exact and methodical form and divided into several convenient distinctions, and every distinction into several chapters, wherein every aphorisme is reduced to its proper subject, whereby the reader may find out any desired aphorisme without the tedious revolution of the whole work ; wherein also many aphorismes are significantly interpreted which were neglected in the former translation.

CHAP. XI. Of Diseases caused by the Winds.

Sect. 3. Aph. 5.

SOuth winds produce dulnesse of hearing and sight, with a heavinesse of the head, they make the body dull and faint, when such winds are prevalent, we must expect such accidents in Diseases. But North winds cause coughs, exaspe∣rates the jaws, hardens the belly, suppresseth the Urine, stirs up cold horrors and pains of the sides and breast. When such winds are pre∣valent, sick bodies suffer such things.

Sect. 3. Aph. 7.

Foggs and fowlnesse of air, produce acute Feavers, and if the year shall be so disposed for the most part, we must expect Diseases answe∣rable to the condition and season so constituted.

Sect. 3. Aph. 8.

A good and seasonable constitution of the air, produceth such Diseases which are easily consistent, and easily cured. But ill constituted seasons, such as are not easily consistent nor easily cured.

Sect. 3. Aph. 14.

North and dry winde in the Autumn are com∣modious for moist constitutions, and women; but to others they beget sorenesse of the eyes, acute Feavers, Quotidians, and to some also Con∣sumptions.

Sect. 3. Aph. 15.

Amongst all the seasons of the year, great droughts are more wholsome and lesse destru∣ctive, then continual rains, and frequent show∣ring weather.

Sect. 3. Aph. 16.

Diseases for the most part are caused by con∣tinual Showres, as long Feavers, Diarrhaeaes, putrid Feavers, the falling evil, apoplexies, and squinancies. But by great droughts are occasioned Consumptions, Bleer eyes, Sciaticks, droping of Urine, and Dysenteries.

Sect. 3. Aph. 17.

Continual North winds do condense the pores of the body, renders men stronger, nimbler, better coloured, and better liking, dryes the belly, causeth prickings of the eyes, and if the

breast be possest by any preceeding grief, they stir it and provoke it: But South winds dissolve the body and moisten it, they cause dulnesse of hearing, heavinesse of the head, and vertigoes, they produce difficult motion to the eyes and bo∣dy, and moisten the belly.
