Est autem aquae frigidae genus nitrosum, uti Pinnae Vestinae, Cutiliis aliisque locis similibus, quae potionibus depurgat per alvumque transeundo etiam strumarum minuit tumores. ubi vero aurum, argentum, ferrum, aes, plumbum reliquaeque res earum similes fodiuntur, fontes inveniuntur copiosi, sed hi maxime sunt vitiosi. habent enim, uti aquae calidae sulphur alumen bitumen, faecem, quae, per potiones cum in corpus iniit et per venas permanando nervos attingit et artus, eos durat inflando. igitur nervi inflatione turgentes e longitudine contrahuntur et ita aut nervicos aut podagricos efficiunt homines, ideo quod ex durissimis et spissioribus rigidissimisque rebus intinctas habent venarum raritates.
