¶Of the yalow iaundis.

ICtericia is the yalow Iaundis / and alteracion of y^e naturall color of the skinne into a yalow colour.* 1.1 Thesame commeth somtyme from the Ly∣uer / somtyme from the Galle / somtyme from the Splene. The iaundis commynge from the Lyuer / is caused two wayes: ether by mistemperat∣nesse of heate / or by stoppynge in the lyuer. The iaundis caused by mistem∣peraunce of heate / is of two sortes: somtyme wyth apostemacion / som∣tyme wythoute apostemacion. But if the iaundis commeth by a waysting wyth apostemacion / then are the signes in a man strengthynge / trembling and a payne in the ryghte syde / a consumpcion of the whole bodye / and minishynge of the strengthe and the digestion / the water is as reade as bloode.

The iaundis wythoute apostemacion hath no consumpcion / streyn∣gthynge / nor tremblynge / and they haue also the commune token of ya∣lownesse in theyr eyes / the face yalowe / pale or grene / the water reade and bloodye.

Fyrste ought medicine to be geuen for the apostemacion / if the iaundis is wyth an apostemacion / that it be fyrste taken awaye / after that shalbe ta¦ken awaye the waystinge comming by the heate.
