Of Difeafes referred to the B/ood he iuppofes Feavers to be th© 
molt general, eho withal he reckons all Innamatory difpofitions to 
beioiig to this head. Though he think Perfpiration more conducive 
to prevent th^ie than ci|re them, yet he denies not its ufe even to 
this end J for the reafons he in Ihort affigns. 
Bmt he fuppofes its ufe is greateft in the Cure of Chrenical Di- 
{tempers, which he founds in the Nervous Syftem- Ihefe he con- 
iiders either as G^/^^ a-?/, and affefting the whole body, or as ?ani«> 
^•/^/^r, refiding in fome private parr. The former, he coiiceives, 
muft have their feat in fuch a place, that they may inPii^ence the 
whole body, vjz. in the Nervous Syftem. And tlio' the Blood is 
carried every where, yet being foeafiiy dilTipabie as 'tis^ he thuiks 
it can hardly be "the Seat of fuch long diftempers •, Though the ^ 
Jauqdice be an inftance on the other fide ^JBut he endavc urs to folve 
that; 
Of thefe general Chronical diftempers he meiidons cnly a few] of 
the moft remarkable, the very naming of which gives all men an 
Idea, that they refide in the nen?ous Syftem, and confequendy that 
the Matter may be moft readily carried to the circumference of the 
Body, and fo pafs out at the pores. 
But tho' the difeafes of private parts cannot be fo cured by ycci ibrr 
of their fituation, yet he thinks, that part of the antecedent rna rev 
of them being carry'd ofFby Perfpiration, the reft will be iTiore c • J ; 
digefted. 
Here he takes notice (for the fervice of the Yair Sex ) tliat a duly 
regulated Perfpiration is very conducive both to procnre, ana continue 
Beauty to a long date, fome reafons of which he alledges.
