Experiments 
in Contort 
touching the 
P roduftkn of 
Cold. 
I Loud is Ranched diuerswayes. Fird, by AfiringenU, and Repemf j 
'fine Medicines. Secondly, by Drawing of the Spirits and Blend in- j 
wards ; which is done by Cold • As Iron , or a Stone laid to the necke doth 
Ranch the Bleeding at the Nofe ; Alfo it hath beene tried, that the Tefii- 
cles , being put into Charpe Vinegar, hath made a hidden Recede of the 
Spirits, and Ranched Bloud. Thirdly, by the ReceJJ'e of the Bloud by 
Sympathy. So it hath beene tried, that the part that bleedeth, being 
thruR into the Body of a Capon, or Sheepe, new ript and bleeding, 
hath Ranched Blond - The Blond, as it leemeth, fucking and drawing 
vp, by fimilitude of fubRance, the Blond's t meeth with, and fo itfelfe 
goingbacke. Fourthly by CuRome and Time • So the Prince of An- 
range, in his fird hurt, by the Spanijh Boy , could finde no meanes to Ranch 
the Bloud, eitherby Medicine or Ligament ; but was faine to haue the Ori¬ 
fice of the wound Ropped by Mens Thumbs , fucceeding one another, for the 
fpace at lead of two Dayes 5 And at the lad the bloud by Cn(lome only re¬ 
tired. There is a fifth Way alfo in vfe, to let Blond in an Aduerfe Part, for 
a Rennlfion. 
I T helpeth, both in Medicine, and Aliment, to Change and not to con¬ 
tinue the fame Medicine, and Aliment Rill .The Cade is,for that Nature J 
by continuall Vie of any Thing, growetb to a Society, and Dtdneffe, ei- 
ther of Appetite , or Working. And we fee that Affnetude of Things HnrtfnH 
doth make them leefe their force to Hurr- As Poifon, which with vfe lbme 
hauebrought themfeluestobrooke. And therefore it is no maruc 11 ,though 
Things helpful, by Cnftome^ leefe their force tohelpe. I count Intevmifstm 
almoR the fame thing with Change • For that,that hath beene intermitted, 
is after a fort new. 
I T is found by Experience, that in Diets of Gnaiacnm,Sarz,i, and the like 
(efpecially if they bee Rrid) the Patient is more troubled in the begin¬ 
ning, than after continuance • which hath made fome of the more delicate 
Sort of Patients, giue them ouer in the midded • Suppoling that if thofe 
Diets trouble them fo much at fird, they fhall not be able to endure them 
to the End. But the Caufe is, for that all thofe Diets doe dry vp Humours, 
Rhenmes , and the like 5 And they cannot Dry vp vntill they haue fird at¬ 
tenuated • And while the Humour is attenuated, it is more Fluid, than it 
was before, and troubleth the Body a great deale more, untill it bee dried 
vp, andconfumed. And therefore Patients muR exped a due time, and 
not checkeat them at the fird. 
The Producing of Coldis a thing very worthy the Inqui- 
fition; both for Vfe, and Difclofure of Caufes. for Heat and 
Cold]
