Veins & Arteries which contain with- in them, and convey blood, the Caufe ofan In- flammation ; and are therefore even-upon this ac- count oppofite co che bones, which neither have, nor are fo much as capable of receiving Veins. For in good truth, fleth is che chief and principal fubject of Inflammation : yet norwichftanding the blood, if ic both diffuleic felf thro che adja cent parts, and hkewife draw thole parts into a | content and agreemenc with ic felf, they may then al of chem (both ic & they) be cruly faid co be co- gether inflamed: of which Galen treats ac large, an bis Book of Tumors, Chap. 2. where he thus | writes: That al chat flefh whofe affection is now | mainly, and in che higheft degree become.an In- flammation, fhould feem to be replenifhed with a flowing of che blood, both the colorand the Tu- MOF ir a Hemaniiaee: 3 Whereupon it appears allover bumid and extreamly moiftened, like as is woo} and afpunge. ‘That filch and pucrid mat- tec which flows forth whenas che Inflammation hach gotcen a litcledoor or gate (as we may fo | cetm it) cocaftic out by, gives a tufficient tefti- mony unco che cruch of whac hath been faid 5 and | Tam rightly of Opinion, that che skin ic felf is elevaced, and excended round about, at once and

Andin his fixih Book of the Method of Phyfick, Chap. 5. be chus writes : Neicher dol greatly wonder (iaich he) if fom thing refembling a Phlegmone fhalin a Nests a pte portion chance to accrue eyen tothe bones them- felves when broken, The which likewile Avicen hath caught us in che 2. of his firft Book, Doét.1. Chap. 5. where be acquaints us chac Tumors hap- pen unco the Membets chat are fofe 5 and yet noc- withftand ing chat there is atime alfo. when fom- | ching happens unco the bones chemfelves, which 1s aflimilaced into che matter of a-Fumor or Swel- ling, by che which faid matcer che Tumors mag- nude is exceedingly oer as and its humid dity greatly augmented. And he adds the reafon. Neicher ts ic (faith he) at alco be wondered ar, or ever a whe excraordinary, that that which re- ceives an encreafe or addition with nutriment fhould hikewife receive ir, thac istofay, anaddi- | ion with fuperfluicy, when eicher it penecraces }into it, or fhal otherwMe befal ir, as generated therein. And in che {pecies of Teeth, Galen in his 5.

Yea, poflible it is, inot only chat che bones fhould geca chickne(s from che fuperfluous nourifhment, but Iikewife chac /another bone fhould be fuper-added untothem, land grow up together with them. Concerning ithe which, Abengoar io his 2.

And again afterwards: he ILS more at large upon chisfubject in thefe words : The bones ({uith be) ave fomcimesgreacned of (toufe his own word) ingroffed beyond Natures inrention, by reafon of an-overplencifuland grofs courte of Diet, it being likewife inordinate, tud= | dently and rafhly fallenupon, ahd not (as rather it fhould have been) fucceflively, and by degrees, | adviledly enceredinco,’ And long 1€ isnoc fince I heard my Father fay, thac he ona cime faw a cer- cain man that had a bone fupereadded- and bred in his back hKe unaco che Harts Horn 3 and that ic was not alrogether ‘fo hardoas the natural benes: and -my Father bimtelf Claith he) purged this man, and empczed forth the grofs humors that were in him 3 and afcer he had fo done, he chén pits upon the bone certain exficcating orextfeam drying Me-

The (aufes.
As forthe Caufe of this precernatural affect, Galen writes that asic is alcogecher unknown unto the ignorant multitude of men,fo is is not very wel underftoad by all chac profefs themfelves Phyfiti- ans. For although, as I conceive, it is agreed upon by al Phyfitians, chac Blood is the Caule of an In- flammation, yet notwithftanding left thac (as the fame Galen writes in the place before allead- ged) we fhould feem only co declare our own fin- gle Opinion, without any furcher enquiry there- into; we wil therefore make the moie accurate fearch after (thereby to find out) che Caufe of
an Inflammation, in this manner following, |
There would be no Tumor at any cime generated in any part of che Body, were icnoc chat eicher its fubstance as it were boy ling over with heat is pou- red out, or that from without {ome new fubftance makes itsapproach. Forthere are but two only cautes to be affigned of che augmentation of the bulk and quantity tnany thing whacfoever. For either che radical moifture through an internal or external heat ts refolved into an aery fubftance, which (asit is welknown ) requires a far greater {pace & room for dilatation then formerly it had ; or elie, as we faid before, fome new fubftance is extrinfecally from fome other place {upecadded thereunco. Now cherefore ofneceflicy 1 is chat one of chee two caufes muft be prefent, when as inthat hoc and burning Tumor which we come monly calla Pbhlegmone, the part is lifted up into a@ greater bulk than is ordinary, or. agreeable co the incention of Nature. vency and boy ling up of the natucal moifture, or the effufion thereof, ismoethe Gaute, appears by this, becaufe-chat every ching that ts poured forch and converted, asit were, inco fpirics, when ic is cooled it aflumes again its priftine quantity, and {as we may foexpreisic) puts off and laies afide
the Tumor; as by common experience i is moft |
apparent. Bucas forthe parts inflamed, lec chem be never fo vehemently cooled, yec wilthey never return into the former ftate and condition, nor e- wer caft off che Tumor or Swelling. Further- more, if by ceafon of the effufion of the parc, and its converfion into {pirits,a Tumor fhould be cau- fed in che part inflamed, then neceffarily upon the incifion of the pare the,{pirit fhould appear ; which yer (as wefee) isnoching fo : ‘but thac rather there follows an effufion of Blood; and the whole place by its colour and the Jooks chere- of feems altogether full of Blood. Ic remains therefore, that che acceffion of fome new fubftance is the caule ofa Phlegmone, But now chat this

Blood is caufe of a Phlegmone, may be manifeft- ly evidenced by this, that the place (in the greateft Inflammations efpecially , which now and chen happen in Ulcers ) appearsand feems ali bloody round about; which certainly would never be, if blood were not the caufe of the Inflammation. Furthermore, that Blood is Caufe of the Intiam~ mation chat generating of the Inflammation which happeneth in Wounds. doth evidently demou- ftrace. For in new and freth,W ounds, thie Blood (its true) at che fictt flows forch; buc chen afces. ward being compreffed and kept in eicher by che hand, or elfe wich Ligatures, or Medicamenis chac
