THE
CALENTVRE
.
THe
Calenture
(
or
burning
Feuer
)
called
by
the
Spaniards
,
La
Calentura
,
is
the
most
vsuall
Disease
,
happening
to
our
Nation
in
intemperate
Climats
,
by
inflammation
of
blood
,
and
often
proceeding
of
immoderate
drinking
of
wine
,
and
eating
of
pleasant
Fruits
,
which
are
such
nourishers
thereof
,
as
they
preuent
the
conuenient
meanes
,
that
are
vsed
in
curing
the
same
.
To
know
the
Calenture
.
THe
Calenture
at
the
first
apprehension
afflicts
the
Pacient
with
great
paine
in
the
head
,
and
heate
in
the
bodie
;
which
is
continuall
or
increasing
,
and
doth
not
diminish
and
augment
as
other
Feuers
doo
:
and
is
an
introduction
to
the
Tabardilla
,
or
Pestilence
;
whereof
next
is
intreated
:
but
then
the
bodie
will
seeme
very
yellow
.
To
cure
the
Calenture
.
SO
soone
as
the
Pacient
is
perceiued
to
be
possest
of
the
Calenture
;
except
the
Chirurgion
defer
it
for
danger
of
the
Signe
(
I
haue
seene
the
time
of
the
day
not
respected
)
to
open
the
Median
veine
of
the
right
arme
,
and
take
such
quantitie
of
blood
,
as
agreeth
to
the
abilitie
of
the
bodie
,
which
not
asswaging
the
heate
,
by
the
next
day
;
to
open
the
same
Veine
in
the
left
arme
,
and
take
so
much
more
blood
at
his
like
discretion
.
And
the
bodie
being
Costiue
(
for
so
commonly
the
Pacients
are
)
to
giue
him
some
meete
Purgation
;
and
not
to
permit
him
to
drinke
other
then
water
coolde
,
wherein
Barley
&
Anniseedes
haue
been
sodden
with
brused
Licorice
.
And
if
within
foure
daies
the
partie
doo
not
amend
,
or
being
recouered
doo
take
it
againe
;
then
open
the
Sephalica
veine
,
in
one
or
both
hands
,
bathing
them
in
warme
water
,
vntill
there
comes
so
much
more
blood
as
cause
requires
.
And
not
to
suffer
the
Pacient
to
drinke
,
seuen
dayes
after
he
is
perfectlie
recouered
,
any
other
drinke
,
then
such
water
as
herein
is
directed
.
THE
TABARDILLA
.
THe
Disease
called
by
the
Spaniards
,
La
Tabardilla
,
and
by
the
Mexicans
,
Cocalista
,
is
named
by
other
Jndians
,
Taberdet
:
and
is
so
exceeding
Pestilent
and
infectious
,
as
by
the
same
,
whole
Kingdomes
in
both
the
Jndias
haue
been
depopulated
:
which
seemeth
to
insue
of
the
ignorance
of
the
sauage
people
,
to
minister
redresse
to
themselues
.
For
the
Spaniards
and
Portugals
there
inhabiting
,
and
in
their
natiue
Countries
,
where
it
is
also
contagious
,
before
they
had
this
knowledge
,
did
aboundantlie
die
thereof
.
But
now
by
applying
the
meanes
here
described
,
they
are
recouered
of
the
same
.
To
know
the
Tabardilla
.
THe
Tabardilla
first
assaults
the
Pacient
very
vehemently
,
with
pain
in
the
head
and
backe
:
and
the
bodie
seeming
yellow
,
is
some
signe
thereof
,
and
within
24.
howres
it
is
so
torturous
,
that
he
that
is
possest
therof
,
cannot
sleep
or
rest
,
turning
himselfe
on
either
side
,
backe
and
bellie
;
burning
in
his
backe
most
extreamely
.
And
when
it
growes
to
perfection
,
there
will
appeare
red
and
blew
spots
vpon
the
Pacients
brest
and
wrists
.
And
such
persons
as
haue
not
presently
applyed
vnto
them
,
meanes
requisite
to
preuent
it
,
will
be
by
the
incomparable
torment
thereof
,
depriued
of
their
wits
.
And
multitudes
haue
desparingly
slaine
and
drowned
themselues
,
that
by
losse
of
their
liues
,
they
might
finish
their
terrestriall
paine
.
To
cure
the
Tabardilla
.
WHen
the
Tabardilla
is
perceiued
to
afflict
the
Pacient
,
permit
him
not
to
lie
very
warme
,
nor
vpon
Feathers
(
for
of
what
qualitie
soeuer
he
is
in
Spayne
,
hauing
this
sicknes
,
he
is
layd
vpon
Wheate
straw
:
)
Then
immediatly
open
the
Median
veine
,
first
in
one
arme
,
and
the
next
day
in
the
other
,
taking
a
good
quantitie
of
blood
:
And
let
him
haue
water
colde
,
wherein
Barley
and
Anniseedes
haue
been
sodden
,
without
Licorice
(
for
I
haue
heard
the
opinion
of
good
Phisitions
of
Spayne
,
that
Licorice
is
hurtfull
vnto
them
)
so
much
as
he
will
desire
,
which
will
be
euery
moment
:
but
no
other
drinke
,
nor
any
rawfruits
:
and
so
soone
as
the
spots
appeare
,
giue
him
some
Cordiall
potion
:
and
laying
him
vpon
his
bellie
,
set
sixe
Ventoses
together
in
his
backe
,
betweene
and
beneath
the
shoulders
.
And
scarifying
them
,
draw
out
(
if
it
bee
a
bodie
of
strong
constitution
)
18.
ounces
of
blood
.
After
which
,
and
that
he
hath
slept
,
he
will
feele
ease
within
24.
houres
,
and
finde
such
alteration
in
himselfe
,
as
he
will
thinke
that
he
is
deliuered
of
a
most
strange
torment
.
Then
giuing
him
nourishing
meats
moderatly
(
for
he
will
desire
to
eate
much
)
the
fourth
day
giue
him
some
conuenient
Purgation
.
And
if
in
the
meane
while
he
is
Costiue
,
prouoke
him
euery
day
by
Clisters
:
and
admonish
him
to
forbeare
fifteene
daies
all
other
drinke
,
then
that
is
ordained
.
And
to
bee
carefull
of
his
diet
:
for
if
this
Tabardilla
,
which
we
call
here
in
England
,
Gods
Tokens
,
come
againe
vnto
the
Pacient
,
he
can
hardly
escape
it
.
And
it
is
no
lesse
infectious
,
then
the
vsuall
English
Plague
.
THE
ESPINLAS
.
THe
Espinlas
is
a
very
strange
sicknes
,
and
vsuall
in
those
parts
,
to
such
as
take
cold
in
their
breasts
,
after
great
heat
or
trauell
.
And
most
times
it
comes
to
those
that
lye
with
their
breasts
vpon
the
ground
(
especially
)
in
the
night
.
To
know
the
Espinlas
.
THe
partie
hauing
the
Espinlas
,
will
be
giddie
in
the
head
,
and
haue
pain
and
pricking
at
his
breast
,
as
with
many
thornes
:
wherefore
I
thinke
it
is
so
called
of
Spina
and
Espina
,
the
Latine
and
Spanish
words
for
a
Thorne
.
And
there
will
be
vpon
Huesso
radio
,
or
Focell
,
being
the
vpper
bone
of
his
arme
,
a
hand
breadth
aboue
the
wrist
,
a
little
kernell
,
by
which
it
is
certainly
knowne
.
And
he
that
hath
this
Disease
,
will
not
haue
appetite
to
meate
or
drinke
;
nor
cannot
digest
meate
,
although
he
bee
procured
to
take
it
.
To
cure
the
Espinlas
.
THe
Espinlas
,
appearing
by
the
former
signes
:
Take
Oliue
oyle
presently
,
and
therewith
chafe
the
kernell
vpon
the
Pacients
arme
,
vsing
so
to
doe
twise
euery
day
,
vntill
it
bee
dissolued
:
and
laying
Oyle
likewise
vpon
his
breast
,
stroke
it
vpwarde
somewhat
hard
with
the
hand
:
then
spread
fine
Flaxe
vpon
it
and
the
kernell
,
making
it
fast
with
a
rowler
:
and
within
two
or
three
dayes
,
the
diseased
thereof
will
be
recouered
.
Whereas
els
it
is
very
dangerous
to
depriue
them
of
life
.
LAS
CAMERAS
,
OR
Cameras
de
Sangre
.
THAT
is
Laxatiuenes
,
or
Bloodie
Fluxe
,
which
in
those
parts
proceedes
of
diuers
causes
.
As
by
eating
of
Grapes
,
Orringes
,
Limonds
,
Mellons
,
Plantans
,
and
especially
a
great
Fruit
that
growes
in
the
West
Jndia
,
called
Pina
,
like
a
Pine-apple
,
but
bigger
then
foure
of
the
greatest
that
I
haue
seene
;
which
the
Spanyards
doe
repute
to
be
the
most
delicate
Fruit
that
is
there
,
and
many
other
Fruites
.
Also
by
sudden
colde
,
or
sitting
(
being
very
hot
)
vpon
a
colde
stone
,
or
,
being
hot
,
by
drinking
Water
abundantly
.
And
also
eating
of
Butter
,
Oyle
,
and
Fish
,
is
so
hurtfull
to
the
parties
that
haue
it
,
that
they
must
refraine
to
eate
thereof
:
and
whatsouer
els
,
that
defiles
the
entrailes
,
with
any
slimie
substance
.
To
cure
Las
Cameras
,
or
Cameras
de
Sangre
,
which
is
the
Bloodie
Flux
.
WIth
the
more
expedition
,
that
medicine
is
ministred
to
the
diseased
of
Cameras
de
Sangre
,
Laxatiuenes
,
or
Bloodie
Flux
,
there
is
the
more
possibilitie
it
should
preuaile
.
And
detracting
it
,
the
Pacients
often
die
suddenly
,
without
feeling
much
griefe
.
For
speedie
and
assured
remedie
thereof
,
the
Pacients
bodie
must
bee
clensed
of
the
slimines
,
engendered
in
the
passages
of
the
nutriments
,
before
anie
sustinance
can
remaine
in
his
bodie
.
And
for
that
purpose
,
giue
to
purge
him
in
the
morning
,
halfe
a
pint
of
white
Wine
coold
,
wherin
½
.
ounce
of
Rubarb
hath
been
sodden
,
being
small
cut
;
putting
in
some
Suger
Candie
to
sweeten
it
.
And
immediatly
after
he
hath
so
purged
,
keepe
at
his
nauell
Rosemarie
sodden
in
strong
Vineger
,
applied
in
the
morning
and
euening
verie
hot
,
vntill
it
be
stayed
:
giuing
him
often
Quinces
brused
and
rowled
in
Marmelet
like
Pils
,
which
hee
should
swallowe
whole
,
and
none
of
the
Fruits
,
or
meates
before
recited
,
nor
any
more
white
wine
,
but
red
wine
of
any
sort
.
And
if
it
be
on
Land
,
the
liuers
of
Goates
(
especiallie
)
Sheepe
,
or
Bullocks
rosted
:
not
willingly
permitting
the
Pacient
to
eate
any
other
meate
.
And
if
at
Sea
,
Rice
only
sodden
in
water
,
rather
then
any
thing
else
vsuall
there
,
vntill
the
infirmitie
is
perfectly
asswaged
.
THE
ERIZIPILA
.
THe
Erizipila
is
a
Disease
very
much
raigning
in
those
Countries
,
the
rather
proceeding
of
the
vnholesome
aires
and
vapours
,
that
hot
Climates
doo
yeelde
,
whereof
many
people
doo
perish
.
And
it
is
found
incurable
,
except
it
be
preuented
by
Medicines
,
presently
ministred
to
the
Pacients
vexed
therewith
.
To
know
the
Erizipila
.
HE
that
hath
the
Erizipila
,
will
bee
swolne
in
the
face
,
or
some
part
of
him
,
and
it
will
be
of
yellow
colour
mixt
with
red
.
And
when
it
is
thrust
with
the
finger
,
there
will
remaine
a
signe
or
dint
of
the
same
:
and
then
by
degrees
it
will
fill
againe
to
the
former
proportion
.
And
it
speedily
infecteth
the
inwarde
parts
,
because
such
swellings
comes
sooner
to
perfection
in
hot
places
,
then
in
temperate
Countries
.
And
therefore
the
diseased
thereof
,
must
bee
immediatlie
prouided
of
remedie
.
To
cure
the
Erizipila
.
SOme
sauage
people
haue
first
found
perfectly
to
cure
this
Erizipila
,
although
it
is
the
Spanish
name
of
the
Maladie
;
by
brusing
so
much
Tobaco
,
as
will
yeeld
foure
spoonfuls
of
iuyce
,
and
to
drinke
it
presently
after
they
are
infected
therewith
.
And
to
launce
the
places
swolne
;
thereunto
putting
Casada
wet
,
and
made
in
paste
.
Continuing
in
colde
places
and
shadie
,
neere
Riuers
:
and
not
to
trauell
or
labour
,
vntill
they
are
recouered
.
But
the
Spanyards
in
Jndia
,
recouer
themselues
by
taking
the
same
iuyce
of
Tobaco
,
and
setting
so
many
Ventoses
vpon
the
swolne
places
,
as
they
can
containe
,
scarrifying
them
,
and
drawing
out
the
corrupted
Humour
so
congealed
.
And
doing
the
like
in
two
or
three
other
parts
of
the
bodie
,
where
the
Disease
doth
not
appeare
.
The
iuice
of
Tobaco
,
is
very
excellent
to
expell
Poyson
,
and
is
the
ordinarie
remedie
vsed
by
the
Indians
,
and
many
other
sauage
people
,
when
they
are
poysoned
,
and
bit
with
Scorpions
,
or
other
venemous
creatures
.
But
they
presently
make
some
kinde
of
incision
,
where
they
are
bit
or
stung
,
and
wash
it
with
the
iuyce
of
Tobaco
:
then
applying
the
same
brused
thereunto
,
two
or
three
dayes
,
they
heale
it
vp
with
dried
Tobaco
.
THE
TINOSO
.
THe
Tin̄oso
,
or
Sceruey
is
an
infecting
Disease
,
sufficientlie
knowne
vnto
Seafaring
men
:
who
by
putrified
meates
,
and
corrupted
drinkes
,
eating
Bisket
flowrie
,
or
foule
crusted
,
wearing
wet
apparell
(
especially
sleeping
in
it
)
and
slothfull
demeanour
,
or
by
grosse
humours
contained
in
their
bodies
,
obtaine
the
same
.
To
know
the
Scuruey
.
ALthough
most
Chirurgions
,
and
chiefly
those
that
frequent
the
Sea
,
doo
vnderstand
how
to
discerne
when
their
Pacients
haue
the
Scuruey
;
because
it
is
so
ordinary
at
Sea
,
as
it
hath
been
seldome
seene
,
any
Ship
or
Pinnice
,
to
bee
foure
moneths
vpon
any
Voyage
,
to
any
part
of
the
world
,
not
ariuing
where
they
haue
been
supplied
and
relieued
with
the
benefits
of
the
Land
:
but
some
of
the
Companie
haue
had
this
Disease
.
Yet
it
is
not
impertinent
here
to
insert
the
signes
thereof
:
the
rather
,
because
I
haue
known
some
so
destitute
of
knowledge
,
to
discerne
and
cure
the
same
,
as
the
losse
of
men
lost
thereby
,
hath
diuerted
determined
purposes
to
proceed
on
Voyages
:
and
others
to
perish
,
when
they
returned
out
of
hot
Regions
into
cold
Climates
,
where
they
haue
had
the
lineaments
of
their
bodies
,
that
with
heate
are
nimble
and
tractable
to
euerie
motion
of
the
spirits
,
dulled
and
benummed
with
colde
:
which
is
a
token
that
this
disease
is
engendring
in
their
ioints
:
and
soonest
appeares
by
swelling
of
their
anckles
and
knees
,
and
blacknes
of
their
gummes
,
or
loosenes
of
their
teeth
,
which
will
sometimes
come
forth
,
when
there
is
not
redresse
ministred
in
season
.
Preseruatines
against
the
Scuruey
.
TO
preserue
men
from
the
Scuruie
,
there
must
be
care
to
prepare
those
things
before
rehearsed
,
well
conditioned
:
the
badnes
whereof
doth
partlie
breede
the
inconuenience
.
And
men
themselues
must
haue
a
discreet
endeuour
to
auoid
their
owne
ruine
,
by
vsing
exercise
of
their
bodies
.
And
such
as
are
exempted
from
being
commanded
to
doo
labour
,
to
hang
by
the
armes
twise
or
thrice
euery
day
.
And
not
to
haue
scarcitie
of
drinke
in
hot
Climates
:
and
comming
into
the
cold
,
to
be
daily
relieued
with
Aqua
vitae
,
or
wine
.
Also
it
is
a
certaine
and
assured
medicine
against
this
Disease
,
to
haue
such
quantitie
of
Beere
brewed
with
Graynes
and
Long
pepper
,
as
in
the
morning
twise
euerie
week
there
may
be
giuen
a
good
draught
to
a
man
,
