II. Pain, whether great or small, •…•…ght to be cased and taken away; for by reason thereof, there may be a Flux of Hunters, whereby manifold Evils may be excited.
III. You are to consider the cause, and accordingly to remove it (causa ablata, ••ossitur effectus) and that, if it is possible, imme∣diately.
IV. If the Pain is from a Bon•• that pricks (which is known from •…•…ndling the Part) you must •…•…osen
the Bandage; and then either put the Bone back again into its place; or (if it may not be) take it forth; or else cut it off.
V. For so it is advised by Cel∣sus, lib. 8. cap. 10. It will be best (says he) to open it, for there is a necessity of cutting off these sharp pricking ands of the Bones.
VI. If the Pain is from over∣hard binding (which is known from the swelling which appears in the Extremity of the Part,) then the Ligature is forthwith to be loosned.
VII. If the Pain comes from an ill situation or posture of the affect∣ed Part, you are so to change the situation, or posture, and so often, till the Sick feels him∣self at ease.
VIII. If the Pain is from an Afflux of Humors, you must cure it altogether in the same way, as if it were an Inflammation.
