CHAP. XVIII. Of inward Imposthumes.

THese Imposthumes inwardly are evill to know, and un∣certain to cure, because the Patient himself cannot tell in what place they be, though he feel the pain: and there∣fore all that we reason of in that matter, may be to the con∣trary. For where a man cannot see with the eye, nor touch with the hand, the matter is doubtfull whether it be, or no: and therefore it is best to say little. For these Imposthumes may come of divers causes, and yet cannot tell of what cer∣tain cause, and therefore you cannot know which is the true Medicine to help them: but by experience you may doe them some good: For (as I said before) Imposthumes never come but through distemperance of Nature, and alteration of the bloud. Therefore if thou wilt help them, help first the prin∣cipall cause, then give them eight or ten mornings our Ma∣gistrale Sirrup, and then take twice our Aromatico: that being done, use morning and evening our Vegitabile Sirrup, and herewith thou shalt help them.
