AS poysons are distinct in species, so each species differs in their signs and effects; neither is it possible to find any one kind of poyson, which may be accompanied or produce all the signs and effects of all poysons, otherwise Physicians should in vain have written of
the signs and effects of each of them, as also of their proper remedies and attidotes. For what kinde of poison shall that be, which shall cause a burning heat in the stomach, belly, liver, blad∣der and kidneys, which shall cause a hicketting, which shall cause the whole body to tremble and shake, which shall take away the voice and speech, which shall cause convulsions, shall weaken the pulsifick faculty, which shall intercept the freedome of breathing, which shall stupifie and cast into a dead sleep, which shall together and at once, cause a Vertigo in the head, dimness in the sight; a strangling, or stoppage of the breath, thirst bleeding, fever, stoppage of the urine, per∣petual vomitting, redness, lividness, and paleness of the face, resolutions of the powers, and ma∣ny other things, all which are caused hy all sorts of poison. Lastly, no body will deny but that hot poisons may kill more speedily then cold, for that they are more speedily actuated by the native heat.
Hot poisons kill sooner then cold.
