Chap. 42. Signs of a Hot and Moist Liver.

IF the Liver be hot and moist, the Bowels are not so rough as when it is hot and dry, they abound excee∣dingly with Blood, their Veins are large, the habit of their Body hot and moist, unless the heat of the Heart spoil all.

If these two Qualities surpass the Bounds of Nature and Mediocrity, presently comes a Disease of Putrefa∣ction, of corrupt Humors, if moisture abound more than heat, of adustion of Blood, if heat abound more than moisture.

Culpeper.

This Temper of the Liver keeping a due decorum makes a pure Sanguine Complexion, as the former did a Chollerick, for all Complexions, or at least such as people call Complexion, comes from the Liver.

If the qualities of the Liver abound, Bleeding and Sweating is your Cure; afterward if your Liver be too hot you may cool it as you were taught before, if too cold, you may heat it as you shall be taught hereafter.
