The Prognosticks.

The breeding of teeth in Children is very grievous and trouble∣some, by reason those diseases and symptomes that accompany the same, in so much that many die thereof: when convulsions and fevers are joyned therewith. Hip. de dentione fol. 59.

The longer the teeth are a comming forth, the greater is the danger. Such children as have a loosnesse when they breed teeth, are lesse subject to Convulsions then those that are bound. If an acute or sharp Fever happen to children breeding their teeth, they are seldom taken with the Convulsion; because by the Fever the matter that might bring a convulsion is taken away.

Such as are in good health when they breed their teeth, if they be very drowsie and sleepy, there is danger least they fall into convulsions.

Such as breed teeth in winter are lesse troubled then those in sommer: and if they be a little helped they will endure it the ea∣•…•…er.

Not all that breed teeth (being taken with convulsions) do die, but many escape.

Their teeth come forth hardest, or with most pain, that have a little Cough withall; and if they be troubled with pricking and shooting of the gums, they become very lean. While children breed their Dog teeth, or Eye teeth, they are worst, and more trouble∣some, because they bring more sharp and grievous pain to them.
