ivater • And the Drawing of Moifure to the Eyes, doth draw it to the | 
Hojibrds, by Motion of Confcnt • And fo followeth Sneezing • As con- j 
trariwife the Tickling of the Nofihrils within, doth draw the Moiftnrei 0 j 
the Nojlhrils, and to the Eyes by Confent • For they aifowill Water. But 
yet it hath beene obferued, that if one be about to Sneeze, the Rubbing 
ofthe Eyes, till they run with Water, will preuent it. Whereof the Cauje 
is, for that the Humour, which wasdefeendingto the Nofthrils, is diuer- 
ted to the Eyes » 
T He Teeth are more, by Cold Drinke , or the like, affeded, than the 
other Ports, The Caufeis double: I he One, for that the Reftjlance 
of Bone to Cold, is greater than of Flefh • for that the Ffc/Khrinketh, but 
the Bene refifteth, whereby the Ctf/^becommeth more eager: The Other 
is, for that the Teeth are Ports without Blond, Whereas Blond helpeth 
toqualilie the Cold: And therefore we fee, that the Sinnewes are much 
aifeded with Cold-, For that they are Parts without Blond : Sothe£0»w 
in Sharpe Colds wax Brittle • And therefore it hath beene feene, that all 
Comtifions of Bones, in Hard weather, are more difficult to Cute. 
T hath beene noted, that the Tongue receiueth, mcreeafily, Tokens of 
Di/eafes, than the other Parts -, As of Heats within, which appeare mod 
in the Blackneffe of the Tongue. Again c. Pied Cattell are fpotted in their 
Tongues, See. The Caufeis {no doubt,) the Teedernejje ofthe Part * which 
thereby receiueth more eafily all alterations, than any other Parts of 
the Fleflj. 
\T T Hen the Mouth is out of Tafie, it maketh Things tafte, fometimes 
W Salt • Chiefly Bitter • And fometimes Loath fome . But neuer Sweet. 
The Caufe is, the Corrupting of the Motjlare about the Tongue . Which 
many times turneth Bitter, and Salt, and Loath feme-. But Sweet neuer; 
For the reft are Degrees of Corruption. 
I T was obferued in the Great Plague of the laft Yeare, that there were 
feene, in diners Ditches, and low Grounds about London, many Toads , 
that had Tailes, two or three Inches long, attheleaft: Whereas Toads 
(vfuallv) haue no Tailes at a\\. Which argueth a great Difpofitionto 
rutnfaBion in the, Soile, and Aire. It is reported likewife, that Roots, 
(fuchas Carrets , and Par/nips,) are more Sweet, and Lufbttys, in Infe&i* 
ous Yeares, than in other Ycares. 
W 7 ^ Phyfitians fhould with all diligence inquire, what Simples Na* 
W tnre yeeldeth, that haue extreme Subtile Parts , without any Mor- 
dication, or Acrimony: For they Vndermine that which is Hard • They 
open that which is Stopped , And Shut, and they ex pell that which is 
Qjfenfiue, gently, without too much perturbation. Of this Kinde arc!
