The Kinds,
THere is a Defect of natural Excretion of Excre∣ments from the Belly, and it is called Constipati∣on, or Astriction, or binding of the Bel∣ly.
* 1.1 In which either nothing is voided, and the Belly is wholly stopped: Or the Excrements are voided seldom or less than is fit, or with great labor and straining.
This is somtimes in sound people, whose nature is to go seldom to stool. Or according to Hippocrates it comes from the change of age, so that they who are in youth loose-bodied, are bound in old age, and so con∣trarily. In others it is from an evil custom and life, as shal be shewed, and is the cause of diseases.
It is a Symptom in divers Diseases both of the lower belly, joyned with Heart-pain, Colick, Jaundies, Rup∣tures and other accidents: And of the Head, with pain, giddiness and the like. And in Feavers this is a familiar symptom. And in other diseases it is so usual that it is the first and last symptom of which the Pati∣ent complaineth.
