enquiry as touching che Caufe of thisDifeafe; but he could finde very little or nothing of a certainty. Foban. Sporifchius Cin his Traé# before alleadged) admics of neither of chefe Caufes before mentioned: but he conceiveth thac-this Malady had its original froma Pituicous and Flegmatick Cacochymy, hea- pedup in the Body by the unhealthy Confti- tucion of chat year; and withal that over- much and Unfeafonable Scarification drew thefe vitious Humors unto the Scarified places. And chat he may the better prove this, he writeth many things touching che Scitnation of this Fown, and concerning the Dyet, and the Difeafes ofthe inhabicants : and from all thefe put together he proveth that chere was collected great frore of chis Flegmatick Humor.
And che truth is, thac itis not alrogecher fo plainand evidenc, from whence thac Dif- eae was at firft contracted. For if ir had its eriginal from Seartfication, then the Caufe isnot evident, wherefore this infection con- cinued only from che Winter until che vernal or Spring Equino@ial, and no longer Cunlefs haply any one wil render this foracaufe, thac after this time none durft by reafon of the fear they apprehended of a danger, makeufe of thefe Baths, or elfe becaufe thar this Bath was almoft deftroyed, and then again renewed) and why all the parts unto whieh she Scarified Cupping-Glaffes were affixed were not éxulcerated. For (inthe Hiftories of the infected) Thomas Fordanus taketh notice, that a certain perfon who had five of thefe Cupping-Glaffes affixed unto feveral places of his Body, yet that only two ofall thofe places,¢€to wit, the hinder part of the Neck, and the Region of the left Loyn) were exulcerated; andherellethus likewife of acertain Maid-fervant that had feven of thefe Cupping-Glafles appliedunco feveral parts; ofall which, the Skin was exulcera- ted only under one of them, to wit, chat which was affixed unto the right Shoulder- Blade: andchere he affureth us that the very fame happened alfounto many others. But now, this feemeth to make very much againft thofe who will have this Malady to proceed from the vitions conflux and ftoring up of the Humors, co wic, that chere being at chat fame time three publique Baths at Brunna, they only were infected who made ufe of Scarification in that Adams Bath, which ouche likewife co have happened altogether alike inthemall, ifthe Difeafe had its origi- nal from thevitious Hur.ors gotten together intheBody. But theopinion of Sporifchius (as he determinech that this affect proceeded from the pituitous or Flegmatick Humor) doth no way deferve chac any affenc
