BUt because nature for the most part expells the concocted matter by sweats, * 1.1 so that almost no Fever without them ceaseth and is well cured. The Physician ought to imitate nature, and the body being evacuated, to discuss the remaind∣ers by sweats: The Sudorifiques that at this day are in use, are,
Carduusbenedictus, Scabions, Fumetary, Tormentill, Zedo∣arie, Harts-horn, Elder, Bezoar-stone, Methridate, and such like, but no sudoriferous medicine ought to be administred, if any Crisis by stool, vomit, or Hemerrhodes at the nose be ex∣tant, lest nature should be disturbed in it's work. They are most conveniently exhibited at that time, when nature her self useth to remove humours, which happens either before any pa∣roxysm, or at the end thereof.
By Urine also sometimes part of the fevourish matter is evacu∣ated, * 1.2 and therefore Diureticks after other evacuations are to be appointed, and the most temperate amongst them are to be cho∣sen, which together attenuate the humours, and free the passa∣ges from obstructions, as Maiden-hair, Sparagus, Agrimony, &c. But those things which are cold, may timely be used also, since they correct the hot distemper of the humours and parts.
Causing sweat.
