CHAP. XXXVII. Of Paronychia.
PARONYCHIA is a very pain∣ful Tumour which possesseth the Fingers ends, caused by the altera∣tion and effervescency of the Bilious and Sulphureous Particles of the Blood.
They ordinarily make two kinds of it; in the one the Matter lies be∣tween the Periostium and the Bone, accompanied with a burning heat, acute pain, and deep pulsation, great Tention, and burning Fever; The other is only in the Flesh, with less heat, and pain, lighter pulsation, less Tention, and hardly any Fever at all.
The heat and pain come from the strong ebullition of the Blood, and many irritations whi••••••he sulphure∣ous particles (that •…•…elt, and are ••••rn'd into Sanies) excite at the Fibres of the Periostium.
descriptionPage 291
The Tention proceeds only from the fermentation of the Humours, it's easie to comprehend that when a Liquor boils, it extends it self more in length and breadth than when it is at rest, and must consequently di∣late the Vessels (in a great manner) that contain it.
The Pulsation is nothing else but a more exquisite and lively feeling that we have of the Arteries beating in the inflamed part, caused by a great Tention and Effervescency of the Blood.
The Fever comes from the mutual agitation of the different particles of the Blood, that fight against one ano∣ther with great strength, and tear one another in a thousand little par∣ticles of a different bigness and figure, which being moved in the mass of Blood excites the Fever, but after a long struggle the Pus is made, the Vessels burst, the Matter Extravasates, the Tumour grows softer, the Fever and all other symptomes diminish, then we give the Pus Issue, by Inci∣sion, which we make at the side of the Finger to avoid the Tendon, we then use those Medicines ordinarily used for other Ulcers.

I will no longer insist upon the Pa∣ronychia, though it would furnish us with Matter for a long Discourse, and seeing most Authors have given their Opinion of it, any one may be Instructed by them.
