Theses de lienteria

XIV.
But as the action of the retentive faculty in lientery is abolished and taken away, so in the symptom related to this, which is called the Celiac passion, the same action is only diminished. With this distinction observed, so that the authority of Galen and others may be preserved, they can be joined not ineptly.

XV.
And although the action of the expulsive faculty is also not rarely depraved regarding these symptoms, yet the species of lientery arising from this happens primarily by reason of ulceration, whereas the irritation in Celiac disease arises immediately from the vice of food or humor; for which reason, when diarrhea (a word that otherwise embraces every flux of the belly) participates, it varies from lientery.

XVI.
Nor do we deny that it is sometimes possible for these symptoms to be shared with the remaining fluxes of the belly, such as cholera, dysentery, tenesmus, hemorrhoids, the resolution of the sphincter muscle, etc.; but where we have looked to the substance, quantity, and quality of the injurious cause, the injured action, the variety and nature of the discharges, and also the affected part, we affirm that each of these clearly provides marks of distinction for itself.

XVII.
Lientery follows disease of the stomach and intestines as a proximate cause, namely either intemperance or a solution of continuity.

XVIII.
Intemperance is either without matter, or with humor generated there through idiopathē an ailment arising in the part itself; or flowing from elsewhere through sympathē an ailment arising from the influence of another part.
