Moreover, che Nails alfo become rough, and ill colored, and thick; which Vice is called the Scabrities and Lepra of the Nails: in which Vice, not only che magnitude,«buc likewife the figure and Conformation of them is vitiated.

The color of the Nails changed,
But fomrimes orily the color of the Nails is vitiated; {fo chat chey become Jeaden colored,yel- low, and black, Which Vice happeneth not on- ly by reafon of che change of thecolor of che flefh lying underneath (as fome have thought) but be- caute the very alimenc of che Nails is vicious, and endued wich fuch a color. And now and chen likewifs the Nails are here and there marked wi'b certain {mal whice fpots(efpecially in che younger fort of people). which atifing for che moft part a- bout che Roots of chem, cogether with the grow- ing Nail chey change their place 5 untilat che Jength they are pared off wich the Nail; and they have cheir original from the thick juyce that mine glechit felf with che aliment.
In Curriers alfo (by reafon of their bandling of Lime and Ley) and in Dyers (by means. of their handling cheic Dying ftuff): che Natural color of che Nails is frequently changed into ano- ther, which oftentimes laftech and continueth long.
Thi Vice indeed bringeth with 1¢ no danger at al; but yec ic caufech a deformity, and 13 very offenfive and ccoublefom unce Men, bur efpecially unto Women.
But now chat chis Vice may be taken away, the vitious humors (if chey lie hid inche who] body)
are co be evacuated 3 and chenafcer cbey are tobe |
caken away out of the Nails themfelves. This may | be done, if che new growing nails be very often pa-! red, untilal chat is viciaced be quite takenaway. And untoche Nail icfelf that Emplafter chat ere while we mentioned (in che Lepra of the Nails) is Co be applied.
But there isthen a peculiar change of checolor of the Natls, when by reafon of a Contufion.there is blood fhed forth under che Nail ; and when fhi- ning through the Nail ic produceth ared ora blackifh color, as it is wont co happen in Sufftuli- ons. Which if ic chance, Avicen advifeth ca make a hole through che fame, and foro lec ouz the blood thac liech underneath che Nail. And. yec neverchelefs, chere is inthus duing great care to be had, left thac in che perforation the nervous skin Jying underneath be hurt, and {oa pam bechereby excited.

The Crooking of the Nails.
| » There are fome jikewife that make mention of \che crooking of the Nails among the Vices of the /Nails 3 and indeed ic as of that crooking wherein
|the Nails (in theic extremities) are rendered ‘crooked, and as it were hooked (like as we fee is
co bein Bids) and this crooking they fay pro-
icéedeth from adrine{s chat doch overmuch con=
tract che fubftance of the Nails. Buc chis Affect
,is Very races; neither (when any fuch there is )
doth it proceed from drinefs, but from a vicious matter; by ceafon of the abundant flowing of which the Nails come to grow in that vicious and uncouth mapner: andtchis (as we have alrea- dy told you) bappeneth in the Plica Polonica. And cherefore chere is no ocher way or Mahod of
| Curing of this Evil, than thac of Rough and Le-
prous Nails.
This is not unufual (efpecially in the Feet) thacche Nails grow forth coo much at the fides, and make a hole through the skin lying under- neath; upon which the flefh there an thar place bepinneth to grow Juxutiant, and co become proud, and provech a very great impediment, borb in puccing on of the fhoos, and alfo in going. Which if 1c happen, we are chen to {prinkle upon the place burne Alum, which takechaway whara foever of the fleth is fuperfluous 5 and afterwards
pared off.
The Cleaving of the Nails,
And now. and then likewife folution of Unity
the Nail chat hath grown forthcoo long is to be |
happeneth unrothe Nails; fo chac they are clefe | either longwaies, or elfe tran{verfly,and asic were |
cut into cwo chin plates.
And chis cometh co pafs either from Caufes ex cecnal, as Wounds; or elfe from che vicioufneds of the Humor, which fomtimes fallech out in che French Difeafe, and the Leprofie.
Ifthe Clefc be from a Wound, the Wound is then. to be healed: yet neverchelefs the cloven
Nails can no way be united; buc while they giow |
a who} and found Nail is wont to fucceed che clo- ven: but care muft here be caken left chat che Nail in char pare where ic is cloven fhould prow ‘copecher with the skin lying ander it. For it chig fhould bappen, the Nail wil never be whol as ic oughe cobe 3 but wil evermore grow forth clover abd in cwo parts.
If chis Fiffure or Cleaving arife from any other Difeafe, and vicious humors, chen chac Diteafe is cobecured, and iuch like Topicks are to be ad=- miniftred unto the Nai! as are wont to be applied in the roughnels of chem.

allthe Adtions of the faid part, and the fever- allufes thereof unto which the part is defti- ned, are hurc by che Wound, whether that
art perform thofé actions, either asa fimi- ake or as an inftumental pare. Thac the Organical Actions may oftentimes be hurt b a Wound, (to wit, when the part deftined for motion is Wounded) cannot be denied, ic being a thing fo manifeft; fince thar che wounded Member can no longer be moved in a due and right manner. As likewife the Vein that is cut aflunder can no longer convey th blood unto the part, for the nourihmenc thereof; neither a diffecied Artery the viral blood and {pirits, or a Nerve the Animal Spi- rits.
But indeed the truth is chat thetempera- ment of the parc is not next of all and imme- diatly hure by the Wound; but yet never- thelefs itis mediatly hutc, cowit, when the Veifels being cut aflunder, and the blood poured forth, the heat of the part is wichal diffipated, andthe influx of the Blood, {pi- rits, and heat flowing in (this laft being fo neceffary and requilice unto the temperament ofthe parc) is altogether hindred. For all which Caufes, the attraction of the parr, the Concoction, the Nutrition, and the expulfi- on, ishure. And from hence it happeneth, that the temperament being changed, there are more Excrements generated in that parc, then otherwife were wont to be. And from thence alfoic proceedeth, chat che Pus is not prefently generated in thevery begin- ning of the Wound, but afterward, to wic, about the fourth day, when'the heat of the parc that was diflipated is again refto- red.
The Ufe is likewife hurt in che Wounded ‘parts. TheSkin being Wounded can no lon- ger cover the parts lying underneathic; nei- ther the diflected Peritoneum the Inteftines 5 the Cornea Lunicle of the Eye can no longer contain the Humors;neither.can the Arteries when -they are oncé cut in funder any longer contain, oricanvey the Blood; neither can the Nerves carry the Animal Spirits.
The Differences.
The Differencesof Wounds, fone of them are Effencial, and others of chem, Accidental.
_ The Effencial arecaken-from.che very Nature
of the Wound, to.wi, from che form chere- of in. which refpect, according co the Figure, Someof them are ftraight, other of them ob- lique, and vhefe indeed kikewWeof avery va-

from the {ubftance of the parc, or elfe thereig not any thingat all cut away. Although (if we would bur rightly and accurately Jue
of the thing) thefe are no proper and &flen- tial Differences, inregardthat chey are taken not from the very Eflence of the W ound,bur rather from fome certain Accidents that ap. pen thereto, to wir, the grearnefs, che figure, &c. Fromthepartaffedted, (which is fom. times the Mufculous F lefh, fomtimes a Nerve, now andthena Ligament, -and very oftena Tendon) now this, or thar pare is affegted. And mdeed in‘ohe andthe fame part; there is great refpedtrobe hady In-whac patticle of the pare che wound is; as for example, whes
end, or'elie in che middle of the Mutcle= and Whecher or no, in the Wound of any Bowel,
wounded. From che Canfe, becaufe that the
wound inflicted is eicher by cutcing Cwhichis jj
in{fpecial called a wound: ) or by prickin which in fpecial is calleda puntture or priee’
king; or elfe cogether with the prickingthere |
is likewife prefenc an incifion; or elfe there are prefent cogether an. incifion and contufi- on; or elfe all thefe three, incifion, pric- king, and Concution, are Joyned toge- ther.
But the Accidental Differences are fuch as are drawn from chofe chings that are withoug the Definitionofthe Wound. Galen (inthe Third B. of his Meth, of Phifick, and lafé Chap.) hath reduced chemi to chree Chaprerss and he teacheth us thac they are taken eicher from the manner of their Generation; (to wit, thac there isa total incifion, oratoral diftuption ;) or elfe, thac there is only a pare: cut, orapatt broken. Secondly, Fromche ficuation of the Wound, cto wit, when.ina wound obliquely inflicted, one part of the W ound is in fight, and another parc tiers hid under the Skin. And Thirdly,From the cime, that one wound is frefh, and new made,.ano- ther old and inveterate.
There are likewife certain other Acciden= tal Differences (we may rather call them ihe proper)taken from thofe things chat are cons joyned with the Wound; co wic, that chae wound is. poyfonous thac is infi@ed by a, poyfoned {words or elle by the biting of fome venemous beaft: thac there hath chan- ced.unto. che wound fome ipflammation,onan Eryfipelas's, or that there is a Fradture,.,.or difjoynting Joyned therewichall ; or elfethae there is conjoyned an Hemorrhage, Fain, or {ome other Symptom, The
