This Tartar is an excrement of natural things coagula∣ted by his spirits in man.
Excrements are twofold, first the excrement of man, secondly, of natural things.
The excrement of man is an impure and stinking Sulphur, which is avoided by the belly, and it is named the dregs of the belly.
The excrement of natural things is an excrementitious* 1.2 and tartareous matter, of Paracelsus it is called the Salt of the thing, which is not expelled unless it be admixt with impure and stinking Sulphur; it is coagulated into the stone, sand, lump, or slime.
The faculty of the Ventricle is not able to separate this excrement of natural things, seeing it doth stick more deeply in the aliments, but is conveyed to the more subtile mechanical spirits, namely, of the Mesarai∣cal Veins, Liver, Reins, Bladder, and Intestines. If the mechanical spirits of the members shall strongly separate that excrement of natural things then the lithargy of the body shall every where be sound: but seeing errours happen in the separation, and that it is not exquisite, a vaporous substance is distributed through the whole bo∣dy together with the aliment, and finds place not only in the bloud and flesh, but also in the marrow and other places where it makes his abode.
