Secondly, by sending up store of Fumes and vapours into the Brain, which sill it with excrements, and emptieth it-self in Rheums and Flegmes, which by Spitting, Coughing, and Dreams, interrupt Sleep. Thirdly, by stupefying the Animal spirits which should recreate and refresh the Brain. Fourthly, by heating the Brain in the Night with study and cares.
