Huc adde quod fe- mel oppilatae glandularum cryptae difficilius pur- gentur, et muneri fuo minus aptse reddantur: unde facile conflat, ad morbum adeo pervicacem debellandum omni fubfidii genere utendum efife. Tumorum refolutio imprimis tentanda, ut vitas pabulum, depravatis medela, robur debilibus, quantum vi<5lu et remediis fieri poffit, fubminif- trentur. Deinde partium, in quibus mali fedes, ita firmanda crafis, ut gravantia liquida fubigant, expellant; curata interim vivendi norma. Qui fitum mefenterii callet, intelligit facile, quanta cum violentia, nifu vomitus, illud undequaque prematur j et quinam inde futuri fint effe&us in glandulas recens infanflas: in vicina foeda fpurcitie cumulata [§ 39.] in pancreas ea- dem fcatens [J 43.] in ventriculum denique, furfum evocando liquores acres [§ 34.] hunc infeftantes, et novas fubinde vires morbo fup- peditantes, Sedulo autem perquirendum erit, fi integra fint vifcera, fi nullo ulcere corrupta, fi a labe putrefeente penitus immunia; fin minus, imprudens emefis hominem hedet. Idem quoque verum eft, fi ex fola laxitate continui folutio me- tuatur: tunc enim virtus mechanica parcius ad- hibenda eft. Nil fere aliud prohibet, nec magni frudtus fpes erit inanis, dummodo mobilis fit ob- ftipans. \ r
