original: "cōditū. Lib' vō hui' vtilitatis ē qz repat integritatē cozpozis recto ozdine: pot' vō bāc vtilitatē p'stat qz repoztat cibū p coz'p': sed illi' pot' vtilitas que potiōi dirim' ptinere cozpis naturā ad se cōuertit."
This book is useful because it restores the integrity of the body in the proper order: a drink provides this utility because it carries food through the body; but the utility of that which belongs to a potion converts the nature of the body to itself.

Concerning sleep.

Sleep changes the nature of the body: first, because it cools the exterior and warms the interior: if it is excessive, it cools and moistens. Vigilance original: "Uigilia" also changes the body, because it warms the exterior; internally, however, it cools and desiccates.

Concerning coitus.

Coitus provides this to the body: it dries the body and diminishes the natural virtue original: "vtutē"; therefore, it cools. Often, however, from much shaking of the body, it heats.

Concerning the accidents of the mind.

There are certain accidents of the mind original: "accidētibus anime" that cause something within the body, just as they move the natural heat from the interior part to the surface of the skin: either impetuously, like anger, or lightly with pleasure, like delight and joy. There are, however, those that draw heat to themselves and hide it: either impetuously, like terror or fear, or lightly, like anguish. And there are those that move the natural virtue both in and out, such as sadness. There are three things in nature: disease, the cause of disease, and the accidents following the disease. Disease is that which primarily harms the body without any intermediary to assist it, such as heat in a fever that follows.

Concerning fevers.

A fever is an innate heat, exceeding the course of nature, proceeding from the heart into the arteries, and harming the patient in its effect. There are three kinds: one in the spirit, called ephemeral; another from the humors that putrefy, called putrid; the third harms the solid members, and this is hectic. The ephemeral is born from an occasion of the mind; the putrid from putrid things. Of these kinds, there are four simple and singular ones. The first is the type that happens from the putrefaction of blood, burning both the interior and exterior parts, as is synochus. The second is that which happens from the putrefaction of red bile original: "cho. rubea", as is the tertian. The third happens from the putrefaction of phlegm, as is the quotidian. The fourth is that which happens from the putrefaction of black bile original: "melācholie", which afflicts the infirm after two days have passed, and it is called the quartan.

Concerning the modes and species of fevers.

Moreover, there are three modes of fevers from the putrefaction of accidents. There is a fever that decreases daily, like the paugmasticus decreasing. There is one that increases, like the augmasticus increasing, until it recedes. There is one that remains in the same state until it recedes, like the omothenus constant. decreasing. A continuous fever from the putrefaction of the veins happens, declining into the veins in certain parts of the body. Gooseflesh original: "bozzipilatio" happens in fevers from the infusion of putrefaction in sensitive members, biting and cooling. Therefore, gooseflesh happens in those fevers that have an interpolation, because the putrefactions are outside the veins.

Concerning the modes of apostemes.

There are four modes of apostemes original: "apostematum". They are simple: either they are made from blood, and are called phlegmons inflammations; or from red bile and are called erysipelas; or from phlegm, which is coagulated, and they are called undimia or cimia, that is, a tumor; or from black bile and are called cancers of phlegmons. The signs of those from blood are these: redness, hardness, pulsation, pain, heat, and tumor. The signs of phlegmon from red bile are these: heat, redness mixed with a citrine color, intensity of pain with stabbing, and rapid increase. The signs of phlegmon from phlegm are these: whiteness, softness, so that if you press a finger, it makes a mark, and it is without pain. These are also the signs of phlegmon from black bile: immense hardness with blackness without sensation.

Concerning the natural thing in the human body.

In the human body, every natural thing, if it retains its own nature, produces health. If, however, it abandons them, it either produces sickness or something neutral.

Concerning the genera of sicknesses.

There are three genera of sicknesses: similar, official, and those of the whole. A similar sickness is that which happens to similar members, which take their names from similar passions: such as headache. And an official sickness is that which happens to official members, such as

the feet, hands, tongue, teeth, and others, because they take names for themselves from the infirmity that befalls them, such as podagra gout of the feet for the feet, and chiragra gout of the hands for the hand, or because they take names from the members to which they happen, such as chiragra and podagra. Finally, there is a sickness of the whole that associates with the two above, such as the separation of limbs.

Concerning similar sicknesses.

Similar sicknesses, which first have similarity, are eight: four simple and four composite. The simple ones are: either from quality alone, or from moisture, or coldness, or dryness. And with these joined together, there are four composite: cold and moist, cold and dry, hot and moist, hot and dry. For these eight, there are two modes of sickness for each. It either happens from a simple quality or from the mixture of another humor. From a simple quality happens a similar infirmity that happens to solid members, which in Greek is called hectic. A hot sickness that happens from a humor is a fever from putrefaction, as was said above. A cold sickness that happens without any humor is, for example, shivering from the excessive coldness of the air or snow; and there is a sickness that happens with some cold humor, such as paralysis that happens in the whole body or in a part. The mode of a moist disease is that which happens such that they do not need the admixture of another humor, such as a cold wound or a hollow or most foul one with the wasting of the body, just as inflated flesh in hydropics with empty filth is sluggish. A moist disease, however, is one that draws other humors to itself, such as hydropsy dropsy. A dry disease is one without humor, such as a spasm that happens from depletion. A dry disease with humor is, for example, a hard and dry cancer.

Concerning disease in an official member.

Diseases happening in official members are four. First, there are those that happen in the formation, that is, the shape of the creature, and in the quantity of members, and in the number of members, and in the position of members. Diseases of officials in the shape of the body happen in five ways: In the inconvenience of members, such as an ugly length of the head. In concavities, such as if the concavity of the hands and feet is filled with flesh. In the pores, such as their stricture or largeness. In roughness, such as the roughness of the throat or the channels of the lungs. In smoothness, such as the smoothness of the womb or the stomach.

Concerning disease in the quantity of members.

Diseases in the quantity of members happen from the abundance of sperm so that the members grow more than they should, as we see happen in a large head and a thick tongue; or beyond the proper size and indecently, such as a small head, stomach, and liver. Diseases in the number of members happen either by increase or by decrease: by increase, which is either by the course of nature, such as a superfluous finger, or outside the course, such as lumbricus, ascarids, warts, and acrochordon large growths of flesh or large warts. By decrease, however, either generally, such as the amputation of all fingers, or particularly, such as one.

Concerning disease in the position of members.

In the position of members, diseases happen: either because of the movement of a member from its place, or because of the disposition of a neighboring member, such as fingers and lips that are glued together or adhere and do not separate, or that separate and do not glue together. But the separation of an adherent member happens generally either in similar members or in official ones. In similar members, such as bones, nerves, flesh, veins, and muscles: because if it happens to a bone, it is called a fracture; if to flesh from a recent time, it is called a wound; if, however, from an old time, it is not just a wound, but it is called a putrid wound. Because if it happens to veins, nerves, or arteries, it is called by another name. If, however, it happens to the middle of the muscles, it is called a contusion or crushing. If, however, it is in the skin, it is called excoriation; if it becomes inveterate, it is called a putrid wound. In official members, however, a perpetual separation happens, such as the amputation of a hand or foot.

Concerning the qualities of bodies.

The qualities of the body are three: health, sickness, and neutrality. Health is a temperament completing or preserving natural things according to the course of nature. Infirmity is an intemperance outside the course of nature, harming the nature from which a sensible effect of the lesion is made. Neutrality, indeed, is that which is neither healthy nor infirm.
