Galen's art of physick ... translated into English, and largely commented on : together with convenient medicines for all particular distempers of the parts, a description of the complexions, their conditions, and what diet and exercise is fittest for them / by Nich. Culpeper, Gent. ...

Sanguine-Melancholly Com∣plexion.

Description.

THey are mean of Stature, but strong well compact Bodies, fleshy but not fat, big Veins and Arte∣ries, smooth warm Skin, somthing hairy but not so hairy as Sanguine people have: Their Hair is either black or a very black brown, their Cheeks red, som∣thing clouded with duskiness, their Pulses great and full, the Urine yellow and mean in respect of thickness and thinness, their digestion good, the Excrements of their Bellies reddish and somthing thin, they usually dream of deep Pits and Wells and somtimes of flying in the Air.

Conditions.

Their Conditions are much like to the Conditions of a Sanguine Man, but that they are not altogether so

merry nor so liberal, a spice of a Melancholly temper being inherent in them.

As for Diet and Exercise, that which we described under Melancholly-Sanguine will suffice for these also, only take notice that strong Liquor and violent. Exer∣cise is more subject to inflame the Blood.
