CHAP. V. Of the cure of Fevers in general.
NOw to the cure.
A Fever as it is a Fever being a hot distemper, indicates cooling things are to be used. Ga∣len. 8. Meth. Med. Cap. 1.
But because there is no small difference amongst Fevers, and that a Fever is often joyned with it's cause, regard is to be had of the cause of the same. Nay indeed because the cause often offends more then the Fever it self, the Fever is so to be cool∣ed, as that the cause may not be cherished, and those things be detained in the body which ought to be evacuated.
And oftentimes error is committed in this; whilest regard is had only of the heat, cold things are administred, by which the cause of the Fever being detained, the Fever is prolonged: Whereas on the other side, heating things, as likewise either opening or sudocifick things, without cooling medicines, of∣ten with happy success cure the Fever; For the cause being ta∣ken away, the Fever it self ceaseth of it's own accord; Where∣of more particularly hereafter.
