The 102. Chapter doth shew of rysinges or lyftings vp of the heart and brayne.

* 1.1DIastole is the gréeke word. In English it is a rysing or lyfting vp of the herte or brayne.

The cause of this infirmitie.

This infirmitie doth come of some euill humour the which doth passe or goe by the hart or brayne, and doth cause them to moue from the humour. And this a man may know by rising of the pulses.

A remedie.

Vse no contagious meates and drinks, specially such meates and drinkes as be vaporous, the which shuld perturbe either the hart or the brayne, than sée that the belly be not constu∣pated or costiue, and vse Cordials & dregges to break wind. And in any wise beware of euill sauours, and vse Aroma∣tike fumes and sauours.

For Digma, looke in the Chapters named Morfus.
