Chap. 74. Of a Flegmatick man vomiting Choller.

I Saw another, the whol habit of whose Body gave In∣dications of Flegm, and yet every day he vomited red Choller, I thought good to view the Excrements of his Belly, and I could see but little Choller appear in them, wherefore I conjectured that the passage which carried the Chollerick humor to the Bowels was either very strait or stopped, and we know this appears by the Skin in many, as in such as have the yellow Jaundice, and it is also found in the dissection of ma∣ny Creatures, and therefore he that desires to be expert in the knowledg of such things, let him be much con∣versant at Dissections, so shall he gain much knowledg and reap much profit by it, we wrote of these severally before, we only make mention of some examples of it here, that so men might be the more inflamed with a•••• earnest desire to learn. But enough of these things.
