The scirrhus and encephaloid of the earlier writers are now transformed into fibrous and medullary cancer.

During the Progress of this violent Disease, no Food is to be allowed; and we should never be too inattentive to such Degrees of Pain, as sometimes remain after their Severity is over; lest a Scirrhus, an inward hard Tumour, should be generated, which may occasion the most inveterate and tedious Maladies.

Should the Milk coagulate, or curdle as it were, in the Breast, it is of the utmost Importance immediately to attenuate or dissolve that Thickness, which would otherwise degenerate into a Hardness and prove a Scirrhus; and from a Scirrhus in Process of Time a Cancer, that most tormenting and cruel Distemper.

From the Moment these hard Tumours become excessively and obstinately so, and yet without any Pain, we should abstain from every Application, all are injurious; and greasy, sharp, resinous and spirituous ones speedily change the Scirrhus into a Cancer.

Or 2, this arrested Humour is repelled elsewhere, producing a Scirrhus in the Liver, or Asthmas, Apoplexy, Epilepsy, or Falling Sickness; horrible rheumatic Pains, or incurable Disorders of the Eyes, or of the Teguments, the Skin and Surface.
