Chap. 14. Signs of a hot Brain.

SIgns of a hot Brain besides those we named before are, the Forehead looks reddish and feels hot, the Veins on the white of the Eyes appear plain and red, the hair is hard and curling, they are soon bald, and the hotter the Brain is, the sooner are they bald, the excre∣ments which come from the Brain by the Mouth, Nose, Ears, and Eyes, are but few, and those few argue drought, their Head is filled (especially such as keep no regular diet) with unconcocted excrements, hot Meats and Drinks, hot air and hot smels cause Headach, they sleep but little; and that little is very unquiet.

Culpeper.

Such whose Brain is too hot are almost continually troubled with Headach, Dreams of fighting and quar∣relling, their Apprehension is exceeding quick, and their smel good: when you find these Symtoms in one that is troubled with Headach, cool the Brain.
