73. First, simple Concretes, of a Volatile sharp or bitter Salt, Scordium, Carduus, Scablous Alexiterian, Mari∣golds, Camomil, Butterbur, Zedoary, Galangal, Guaja∣cum, Box, &c. To these may be added some compound
Confects of like Nature, as Mitridate, Venice-Treacle, Electuarium de Ovo, Dia∣scordium, &c. These being taken, awaken the Animal Spirits, by which the Praecor∣dia being more lively actu∣ated, the Circulation of the Blood is perform'd the more swiftly. They also go in and ferment the Blood in the sto∣machical Vessels, so that whilst it circulates quicker back towards the heart; it is at the same time more vehe∣mently circulated forwards, through the arteries into the habit of the Body, whence comes sweating.
74. Secondly, Simple Concreies of an Alchalisate and as it were fixed Salt. O∣riental Bezoar, Peals, Coral, Crabs-eys and Crabs-claws, Terra figillata, Harts-horn, Ivory, Oyster-shells, stony, bony, earthy and shelly Sub∣stances, &c. These by their alchizate Salt, sometimes meeting with an acid Salt, both in the Viscera, and also in the Blood, and ferment∣ing together, or growing hot, cause the sanguinious Mass to be fused, and its serosities to be separated and resolved into sweat. Of both these kinds of Sudorificks you may see a cloud in our Synop. Me∣dicinae, lib. 3. cap. 33. sect. 21. § 6.10.12.13. & 14. of the last Edition.
