CHAPTER
I.
Prevention
of
mischiefe
by
Poysons
eaten
or
drunke
.
DIverse
Physicke
Authors
haue
invented
various
rules
to
prevent
Poysoning
,
by
suspecting
their
food
and
company
:
But
those
are
all
false
lights
,
and
uncertaine
;
poysoning
the
minde
many
times
with
causlesse
jealousies
,
till
the
passions
breake
out
into
sore
afflictions
of
ones
owne
selfe
,
and
contagious
infections
of
some
others
purer
reputations
.
Therefore
(
that
I
may
be
no
abettor
of
other
mens
errors
)
my
counsell
shall
be
;
First
,
and
principally
to
relie
upon
the
provident
mercy
of
GOD
to
watch
over
and
keepe
us
;
And
in
the
second
place
,
to
rest
upon
the
use
of
good
Antidotes
onely
.
Such
as
are
,
Mithridate
,
Andromachus
or
London-Treacle
,
Confectio
Alkermes
,
and
Confectio
Liberans
.
These
are
alwayes
ready
in
every
well
furnished
Apothecaries
shop
.
Of
any
of
which
,
you
may
take
every
morning
fasting
the
quantitie
of
a
Hasell
nut
:
and
that
either
simply
by
themselues
,
or
else
in
some
Broth
,
or
Posset
drinke
:
or
,
if
your
stomacke
through
coldnesse
and
ill
digestion
require
it
,
in
white
Wine
sweetned
with
a
little
Sugar
.
Or
els
use
the
plaine
,
but
anciently
applauded
Antidote
.
Take
two
Walnuts
,
two
Figs
cut
in
two
,
twenty
leaues
of
Rue
,
and
a
little
Salt
.
Beate
all
together
in
a
Morter
to
a
pulp
,
and
eate
it
in
the
morning
fasting
.
In
prayse
of
which
these
Verses
were
written
.
Armatusque
cibo
tali
,
quascunque
veneno
Quilibet
insidias
sibi
tenderet
▪
haud
metuehat
.
He
that
with
such
a
Poyson-proofe
was
arm'd
,
Fear'd
not
that
day
by
Poyson
to
be
harm'd
.
Avicen
makes
it
thus
.
Take
of
Walnut
kernells
two
parts
,
dryed
Figs
and
Salt
,
of
each
5.
parts
,
and
of
dryed
Rue
twentie
parts
.
Of
which
Rhasis
saith
that
it
will
make
one
vomit
up
any
unwholsom
food
received
that
day
after
it
.
You
may
also
apply
this
Outward
Medicine
,
which
is
an
approved
one
.
Take
halfe
a
halfepeny
loafe
newly
drawne
out
of
the
Oven
,
make
it
hollow
in
the
middle
of
the
crummy
side
,
and
fill
it
with
Treacle
and
Vineger
,
while
it
is
hot
apply
and
tie
it
to
the
Navill
.
It
both
preserveth
the
body
;
and
draweth
out
the
venom
(
if
any
be
within
)
be
it
of
what
kinde
soever
.
I
haue
an
excellent
Antidote
of
mine
owne
,
CHAPTER
II.
A
generall
way
of
Curing
such
as
are
hurt
by
inward
Poysons
.
IF
any
be
Poysoned
,
Aëtius
(
Tetrab
.
4.
Serm.

cap.
47.
)
saith
it
wil
appeare
by
these
signes
.
Not
long
after
the
taking
of
it
,
there
will
come
either
a
suddain
coughing
,
or
vomiting
of
bloudy
and
stinking
stuffe
,
or
trouble
in
making
water
,
or
some
paine
within
the
body
,
or
vehement
heat
,
or
gnawings
within
the
stomacke
or
guts
,
or
els
some
suddain
numbnesse
:
also
prickings
in
the
flesh
,
trembling
of
the
limbs
,
Hicket
or
Yex
,
Convulsions
or
Cramps
;
breakings
out
of
the
skin
into
blisters
,
biles
or
scabs
;
filthy
spots
,
or
foule
and
unnatural
colour
of
the
skin
;
swelling
either
all
over
,
or
els
of
some
part
of
the
body
;
streitnesse
of
breath
,
much
filthy
vomiting
,
and
in
those
vomits
somtimes
the
very
plain
appearance
of
some
part
of
the
Poyson
.
If
any
of
these
(
saith
he
)
happen
to
a
healthy
man
suddainly
upon
his
meate
,
this
man
is
to
be
judged
infected
with
Poyson
.
And
then
must
this
course
following
be
observed
.
First
,
you
must
endevour
to
fetch
the
Poyson
out
by
the
same
way
it
was
taken
in
.
As
,
if
it
were
eaten
,
or
drunke
;
by
vomit
:
If
in
a
Glyster
or
Suppositorie
;
by
a
Glyster
againe
it
must
be
purged
out
.
If
by
a
Fume
,
by
a
cordiall
Perfume
it
must
be
encountered
,
and
conquered
.
If
by
the
mouth
it
were
received
,
whatsoever
kind
of
Poyson
it
be
,
before
it
be
digested
further
than
the
stomacke
(
if
it
may
be
time
enough
found
)
giue
the
partie
a
great
draught
of
some
fat
broth
;
or
Oyle
and
childs
urine
;
Linseed
.
But
if
it
haue
gotten
into
the
guts
(
which
will
appeare
by
the
gnawings
and
gripings
)
giue
him
a
sharpe
Glyster
.
As
Take
Mallows
,
Mix
all
together
,
and
giue
it
Lukewarme
.
And
if
,
while
it
is
yet
in
the
stomacke
,
a
vomit
or
two
,
or
at
the
most
three
bring
not
away
the
Poyson
(
which
will
appeare
by
the
ease
the
partie
receiveth
)
then
giue
him
a
strong
Purgation
,
such
as
this
:
Take
of
Mallowes
,
Boyle
all
together
in
a
sufficient
quantitie
of
halfe
Water
halfe
white
wine
.
Then
having
strayned
it
,
Take
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
the
liquor
;
to
which
put
Hiera
of
Coloquintida
and
Diacatholico
,
of
each
three
drams
;
Syrup
of
Roses
solutiue
,
and
Syrup
of
Wormwood
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
or
a
little
spoonfull
.
Mixe
all
well
together
,
and
giue
it
as
a
Purgation
.
Those
that
are
of
good
abilitie
may
haue
this
Masse
of
Pils
made
by
some
skilfull
Apothecary
for
them
,
to
keepe
by
them
against
a
time
of
need
.
Rs.
Take
at
once
the
weight
of
six
pence
or
nine
pence
,
as
need
requireth
;
being
formed
and
rowled
into
Pills
of
a
fit
bignesse
for
the
Patient
to
swallow
.
If
it
be
a
Childe
,
Cassia
fistula
.
Mixe
all
well
together
,
and
let
the
partie
drinke
it
off
.
If
there
be
torments
in
the
guts
,
In
this
case
likewise
,
when
the
venom
appeareth
much
and
violent
,
you
must
giue
a
Glyster
besides
the
Purgation
;
yea
Glyster
upon
Glyster
,
as
soone
as
one
ceaseth
to
worke
giving
another
,
(
though
they
be
twenty
in
a
day
)
till
all
complaints
cease
.
That
is
,
till
neither
evill
taste
,
smell
,
vomitings
,
or
gripings
within
the
body
remaine
,
to
shew
that
any
reliques
of
the
venom
are
yet
left
.
If
the
stomacke
and
guts
complaine
of
a
burning
heat
;
Cassia
,
as
before-said
:
and
for
the
guts
,
this
Suppositorie
following
.
Take
of
Hiera
of
Coloquintida
ij
.
drams
:
a
little
Salt
,
and
a
sufficient
quantitie
of
Honey
.
He
ate
them
together
softly
on
the
fire
,
till
the
lump
come
to
a
sufficient
hardnesse
;
then
rowle
it
up
in
forme
of
a
Suppositorie
,
and
annoynting
it
with
Sallet-oyle
,
or
sweet-Butter
,
administer
it
.
Now
,
Vomits
,
Glysters
,
Suppositories
,
and
other
Purging
Medicines
before
described
,
the
venemous
matter
appeareth
drawn
away
;
in
that
the
body
feeleth
no
more
of
those
torments
and
troubles
it
was
before
afflicted
with
:
then
let
the
partie
drinke
a
draught
of
warme
milke
mixed
with
Honey
.
And
if
sharp
Glysters
haue
been
often
used
before
,
let
him
take
also
one
Glyster
of
milke
and
Honey
;
or
of
some
fat
broth
to
wash
away
the
reliques
of
the
sharpnesse
and
biting
qualitie
left
in
the
guts
and
stomacke
.
In
the
meane
time
,
to
defend
the
braine
,
heart
,
and
liver
from
infection
of
the
venemous
vapours
that
will
hasten
to
those
noble
parts
;
Take
Conserue
of
Barrage-flowers
,
Mithridate
,
and
London-Treacle
,
of
each
a
like
quantitie
:
Mixe
them
well
together
,
and
spread
all
thicke
upon
a
peice
of
Leather
of
a
hand-breadth
every
way
,
and
lay
it
well
warmed
betwixt
the
Paps
.
Take
also
,
Boyle
all
these
in
a
sufficient
quantitie
of
white
wine
,
halfe
water
,
till
a
third
part
be
boyled
away
.
In
this
liquor
dip
woollenclouts
,
then
wring
out
the
liquor
from
them
,
and
apply
one
cloth
reasonable
hot
to
the
mould
of
the
head
;
and
another
all
over
the
stomach
.
And
when
these
clouts
wax
dry
,
dip
them
againe
in
the
same
liquor
well
warmed
,
wring
them
,
and
apply
them
as
before
.
Thus
,
having
rid
the
body
of
all
evill
Accidents
;
you
must
roote
out
all
the
reliques
of
poyson
yet
left
behinde
,
lest
they
remaining
still
,
beget
as
dangerous
,
though
not
so
suddain
or
violent
an
issue
.
Therefore
,
then
betake
your selfe
to
Antidotes
.
Such
as
are
named
in
the
first
Chapter
,
for
Praevention
;
but
their
Dose
must
be
doubled
.
In
way
of
Cure
,
these
also
that
follow
are
especially
commended
against
all
kindes
of
Poysons
whatsoever
.
Viz.
The
Hoofe
of
an
Oxe
cut
into
parings
,
The
Bloud
of
a
Malard
drunke
fresh
and
warme
:
or
els
dryed
to
powder
,
and
so
drunke
in
a
draught
of
white
Wine
.
The
Bloud
of
a
Stagge
also
in
the
same
manner
.
The
Seeds
of
Rue
,
and
the
leaues
of
Betony
boyled
together
in
white
Wine
.
Or
,
Take
ij
.
Scruples
(
that
is
,
fortie
graines
)
of
Mithridate
;
of
prepared
Chrystall
one
dram
(
that
is
,
three-score
graines
)
fresh
Butter
one
ounce
.
Mixe
all
well
together
:
Swallow
it
down
by
such
quantities
as
you
can
swallow
at
once
;
and
drinke
presently
upon
it
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
the
decoction
of
French
Barley
;
or
so
much
six
shillings
Beere
.
Of
this
I
haue
had
happy
proofe
.
There
is
also
another
excellent
course
to
be
taken
(
besides
all
these
)
by
those
of
abilitie
,
Mathiolus
.
and
that
is
;
Take
a
sound
horse
,
open
his
belly
aliue
,
take
our
all
his
entrayles
quickly
,
and
put
the
poysoned
partie
naked
into
it
,
all
saue
his
head
,
while
the
body
of
the
horse
retaines
his
naturall
heate
:
and
there
let
him
sweat
well
.
This
may
be
held
a
strange
course
:
but
the
same
reason
that
teacheth
to
divide
liue
Pullets
and
Pigeons
for
Plague-sores
,
approveth
this
way
of
Sweating
as
most
apt
to
draw
to
it selfe
all
poysons
from
the
heart
&
principall
parts
of
the
Patients
body
.
But
during
this
time
of
Sweating
,
he
must
defend
his
braine
by
wearing
on
his
head
a
Quilt
thus
made
.
Take
Cynnamom
,
Roots
of
Angelica
,
Tormentill
,
white
Dittany
,
and
Valerian
,
of
each
one
ounce
.
Dryed
Sage
,
Rosemarie
,
Balme
,
of
each
halfe
a
handfull
;
and
of
Red-Rose
leaues
dryed
two
handfulls
.
Make
all
these
into
a
grosse
Powder
,
and
Quilt
them
up
in
Sarsnet
or
Calico
;
and
let
it
be
so
big
as
to
cover
all
the
head
like
a
Cap
:
Then
binde
it
on
fast
with
a
kerchief
.
In
all
this
time
,
He
must
reside
in
a
cleare
ayre
,
Rose-water
,
Iuniper
,
Rosemary
,
Bayes
,
and
Frankincense
:
Let
him
be
ever
smelling
to
Rosemary
rubbed
in
ones
hand
;
to
Iuniper
-
berries
a
little
bruised
,
Lemons
stuck
with
Cloues
,
Myrrh
,
Storax
,
or
Lignum
Aloës
.
He
must
sleepe
little
:
As
for
Thirst
;
CHAPTER
III.
A
more
Particular
way
of
Cure
;
wherein
is
touched
the
eating
of
Mushroms
,
Muskles
,
and
Perewinckles
.
THough
I
intend
not
to
discover
the
particular
nature
of
every
Poyson
(
which
might
be
a
way
to
instruct
evill
minds
in
evill
purposes
)
yet
without
some
distinction
,
Therefore
,
viz.
Bitings
,
Prickings
,
and
Gnawings
within
;
extreame
Heats
,
Burnings
,
inflamations
and
Hot
Swellings
Inward
or
Outward
)
Then
the
Glysters
must
be
gentle
.
As
thus
,
Take
Mallows
and
Violet
leaues
,
of
each
two
handfulls
;
French
Barley
one
handfull
,
Camomill-flowers
halfe
a
handfull
.
Boyle
them
in
a
sufficient
quantitie
of
faire
water
till
the
third
part
of
the
water
be
boyled
away
.
Then
srayne
it
,
&
to
three
quarters
of
a
pint
of
the
strayned
liquor
,
put
an
ounce
of
Diacatholicon
(
or
for
the
richer
sort
,
an
ounce
of
Cassia
Fistula
newly
drawne
)
and
three
ounces
of
Course
Sugar
(
or
else
Honey
of
Roses
two
ounces
)
and
a
little
Salt
.
Eate
fat
Broths
,
with
coolehearbs
boyled
in
them
,
Borrage
,
Bugloss
,
Violet
leaues
;
&
likewise
French
Barley
;
with
juyce
of
Lemons
,
the
tartnesse
being
taken
off
with
Sugar
or
Honey
;
as
also
Sorrell
so
corrected
.
Giue
the
Patient
leaue
to
sleep
,
And
for
his
Antidotes
,
Or
els
Take
of
Diamargariton
frigidum
,
one
dran
;
of
oxymel
fimplex
one
ounce
,
and
Carduus
water
three
ounces
.
Mix
them
together
,
and
let
him
drinke
it
.
In
all
other
poynts
keepe
him
as
is
taught
before
.
But
if
the
Poyson
be
of
a
Cold
nature
,
Glysters
,
and
the
like
,
as
are
appointed
in
the
precedent
Chapter
.
Keepe
him
from
Sleeping
.
Rub
his
Brest
,
Speake
much
to
him
,
Endevour
also
to
make
him
Sweat
:
to
which
purpose
you
may
use
this
Medicine
following
.
Take
one
dram
of
Gentianroote
in
fine
Powder
,
with
two
or
three
graynes
of
Bezoar-stone
.
Giue
it
in
a
little
draught
of
Carduus
Posset-drinke
made
with
white
wine
and
a
little
Vineger
.
Giue
it
hot
,
and
cover
him
well
with
cloths
,
ordering
him
so
before
,
in
,
and
after
sweating
,
that
he
take
no
cold
;
neither
eate
,
nor
drinke
in
fiue
or
six
houres
after
.
Let
his
Antidotes
be
Andromachus
or
London-Treacle
.
With
his
meate
,
In
all
otherthings
,
order
him
as
occasion
shall
serue
or
require
,
according
to
the
prescriptions
in
the
Chapter
before
.
Some
,
I
knew
a
Mountebank
in
Devonshire
,
two
drams
of
Hens-dung
dryed
and
powdered
;
faire
water
,
white
wine
,
&
Vineger
,
of
each
halfe
a
quarter
of
a
pint
,
with
halfe
an
ounce
of
Honey
.
All
mixed
together
he
drank
it
,
vomited
,
had
also
two
stooles
,
and
so
recovered
.
The
woman
,
being
his
mother
,
and
seeing
me
use
the
dung
,
conjured
me
to
giue
her
some
other
Medicine
that
was
more
cleanly
.
Whereupon
I
made
her
go
to
her
well
warmed
bed
;
&
then
gaue
I
her
a
draught
of
Posset-ale
wherein
Penyroyall

THus
haue
some
been

My
selfe
while
I
was
a
Student
in
Cambridge
,
was
so
hurt
by
the
spurting
of
a
venomous
humour
from
the
body
of
a
great
Toad
into
my
face
,
while
I
pashed
him
to
death
with
a
brickbat
.
Some
of
the
moysture
lighted
on
my
right
eye
,
which
did
not
a
little
endanger
it
,
and
hath
made
it
ever
since
apt
to
receiue
any
flux
of
Rheume
or
Inflamation
.
Others
I
haue
knowne
to
receiue
like
harme
from
a
Spiders

.
The
skin
that
it
toucheth
swelleth
and
groweth
red
and
painefull
.
The
mischiefe
of
this

may
be
prevented
by
presently
washing

Certaine
Generall
Notions
for
the
Helpe
of
such
as
are
Stung
or

by
venomous
Beasts
.
AS
there
are
divers
kindes
of
Creatures
that
sting
or
bite
venomously
;
As
for
the
Snake
;
Likewise
the
Stings
and
Teeth
of
the
living
Creatures
are
more
pernicious
than
those
of
the
dead
:
Furthermore
,
Moreover
,
Also
,
And
in
Summer
time
,
To
which
we
may
adde
,
Lastly
,
With
these
few
generall
Notions
,
I
haue
thought
good
to
acquaint
such
,
whose
understandings
are
able
to
make
use
of
them
;
that
they
may
lend
their

CHAPTER
VII
.
The
Generall
Method
of
Preventing
,
and
Curing
all
venemous
Stingings
and
Bitings
.
PRevention
is
onely
two
wayes
:
All
venomous
Creatures
are
driven
from
the
house
by
these
fumes
and
washings
following
.
Fume
your
roomes
with
the
smoake
of
Harts-horne
shavings
,
burnt
in
a
chasing-dish
or
firepanne
:
or
the
shavings
of
sheepes
hoofes
:
or
the
parings
of
old
shooes
.
Wash
the
walls
with
the
Gaule
of
any
beast
boyled
a
little
in
water
:
or
the
decoction
of
Rue
or
Wormwood
:
or
Assa
faetida
:
or
Coloquintida
boyled
in
water
.
But
in
the
Cure
;
Andromachus
.
If
the
prick
or
wound
be
large
enough
,
wash
it
with
urine
,
or
salted
water
,
or
sharp
Vineger
,
or
els
with
white
wine
:
in
any
of
which
,
dissolue
Mithridate
or
old
Treacle
of
Andromachus
;
which
being
mixed
together
,
heate
it
good
&
hot
,
and
so
wash
the
place
well
,
rubbing
it
as
hard
as
the
patient
may
endure
it
,
to
draw
the
venom
from
running
inward
.
Some
doe
presently
burne
the
wound
with
a
hot
Needle
or
Bodkin
:
Vpon
this
burning
,
there
will
grow
a
crustie
scab
,
round
about
which
the
place
must
be
scarrified
with
the
sharp
poynt
of
a
Pen-knife
,
that
the
corrupted
bloud
may
haue
issue
.
And
when
the
scab
is
growne
dry
,
you
must
annoynt
it
with
fresh
Butter
alone
,
or
fresh
Hogs
grease
mixed
with
it
,
&
having
so
loosened
it
,
take
it
off
.
All
which
time
,
the
part
must
be
often
washed
with
such
a
mixture
as
I
praescribed
before
:
And
round
about
the
wound
,
over
all
the
swelled
part
lay
a
Playster
made
of
Turpentine
,
Wax
,
blacke
Pitch
,
and
Pitch
of
Burgundie
:
And
into
the
wound
put
some
Lint
dipped
in
Vnguentum
Basilicon
,
mixed
with
a
little
burnt
Alum
,
to
keepe
the
wound
open
.
But
if
the
hurt
be
in
the
face
,
the
actuall
Cauterie
or
hot
yron
must
not
be
used
,
for
feare
of
leaving
a
scarre
and
blemish
in
the
face
for
ever
after
.
Therefore
in
stead
of
that
way
;
let
some
body
presently
sucke
the
wound
with
his
mouth
:
First
,
Secondly
,
Andromachus
Treacle
is
dissolved
;
and
after
,
with
sallet-Oyle
.
Thirdly
,
Lastly
,
But
if
no
man
will
venture
thus
to
sucke
:
Some
apply
Horseleeches
to
the
wound
,
if
it
be
very
small
.
But
sometimes
it
is
so
big
,
(
as
when
an
Adder
or
Slow-worme
hath
entred
many
teeth
;
or
when
a
mad
dog
hath
made
it
)
that
the
fundament
of
such
a
creature
before
named
cannot
compasse
it
.
Then
take
a
Pullet
or
a
Pigeon
,
and
divide
it
aliue
,
and
apply
it
(
while
it
is
full
of
lifes
heat
)
upon
the
wounded
and
grieved
place
(
which
must
be
scarrified
beforehand
)
that
the
vitall
heate
of
that
creature
may
draw
the
venom
through
the
scarifications
.
Let
it
be
therefore
bound
on
,
and
kept
there
,
till
it
be
even
cold
;
and
then
apply
another
,
and
so
another
;
till
(
by
asswaging
of
all
paines
,
and
swelling
without
,
as
also
by
the
quietnesse
and
quicknesse
of
the
spirits
within
)
the
patient
appeare
freed
from
all
poyson
us
offence
.
Then
apply
Garlicke
fryed
with
sweet
Butter
or
sallet
Oyle
:
to
make
sure
that
no
remainder
of
mischiefe
be
behinde
:
for
it
is
an
excellent
outward
Medicine
against
all
both
Stingings
and
Bitings
that
are
venomous
.
When
all
this
is
done
,
and
now
it
is
sure
that
all
the
venom
is
perfectly
drawn
forth
;
If
the
wound
be
big
,
But
besides
these
outward
Helpes
,
the
Patient
must
taken
inward
Antidotes
also
.
And
of
such
I
haue
spoken
in
the
first
Chapter
.
This
is
sufficient
for
the
generall
course
;
Now
wee
must
come
to
a
more
particular
way
of
Cure
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Stingings
of
Hornets
,
Bees
,
and
Wasps
.
SOmetimes
these
creatures
leaue
not
their
sting
in
the
place
,
but
when
they
doe
,
the
first
course
is
to
picke
it
out
:
And
then
,
if
it
be
a
Hornet
,
as
it
is
the
more
dangerous
,
so
there
must
be
the
more
care
had
of
it
.
If
the
Sting
will
not
easily
be
gotten
out
,
Rue
.
Then
burne
it
,
or
els
sucke
it
as
was
sayd
before
:
and
after
that
,
apply
to
it
a
little
lint
dipped
in
old
Andromachus
Treacle
mixed
with
Honey
;
and
over
it
,
as
also
over
all
the
swelling
,
lay
a
poultis
made
of
fresh
Cow-dung
mixed
with
Barrowes
grease
,
or
sallet
Oyle
.
Bees
,
Lady
Walsingham
,
wife
to
Sir
Francis
Walsingham
Secretarie
to
Queene
Elizabeth
:
who
(
as
I
haue
often
heard
it
related
by
my
Father
,
who
was
her
Physition
)
being
stung
in
the
hand
by
a
Wasp
at
dinner
time
;
the
venom
presently
swelled
up
all
her
arme
to
her
shoulder
,
and
thence
to
her
throat
:
that
,
had
not
speedie
meanes
beene
used
,
and
(
as
God
would
)
her
Physition
bin
there
present
,
it
was
thought
,
snee
would
haue
dyed
within
lesse
than
an
houre
.
First
therefore
,
the
Sting
is
to
be
taken
out
,
as
is
said
,
and
presently
the
place
to
be
annoynted
with
Honey
,
and
covered
from
the
ayre
.
If
this
prevaile
not
(
as
with
the
most
it
doth
)
burne
it
,
or
sucke
it
:
and
applie
Treacle
of
Andromachus
or
Mithridate
mixed
with
Honey
.
Or
,
for
the
poorer
sort
,
fresh
Cow-dung
or
dogs
dung
mixed
with
sallet
Oyle
.
And
,
if
need
be
,
giue
the
partie
some
inward
Antidore
;
such
as
haue
beene
before
commended
.
Or
els
for
present
speed
,
Take
Garlicke
boyled
in
white
wine
,
or
strong
ale
.
Or
els
,
the
seeds
and
roots
of
Lillies
boyled
in
Beere
.
Or
the
seeds
of
Mallowes
boyled
in
water
,
and
white
wine
,
with
a
little
Vineger
.
Not
long
agoe
I
saw
a
young
man
stung
in
the
eye-ball
with
a
Bee
,
a
handfull
of
Carduus
benedictus
newly
gathered
,
pounded
it
in
a
morter
very
fine
,
and
mixed
it
with
the
white
of
an
egge
,
so
spreading
it
upon
a
pledget
of
flaxe
,
I
laid
it
to
the
eye
,
and
as
it
waxed
dry
,
renued
it
twice
.
This
Playster
of
Carduus
is
excellent
to
recover
the
eye
if
any
venomous
juice
be
spurted
into
it
,
or
if
the
eye
be
hurt
by
a
corrupt
ayre
,
which
the
common
people
call
blasting
:
It
easeth
paines
;
taketh
away
bloudy
spots
in
the
eyes
;
and
is
good
for
all
burnings
in
,
or
about
the
eyes
.
To
this
,
Spiders
;
the
garden
ones
are
the
worst
:
for
they
are
of
the
kinde
of
Phalangiae
.
The
Inward
Antidote
for
them
,
is
,
a
draught
of
New
milke
,
wherein
the
inner
meate
of
River
Crabs
is
boyled
.
Or
,
a
spoonfull
of
the
braines
of
a
sheepe
boyled
in
water
and
Vineger
.
Outwardly
,
apply
the
Cobweb
of
the
same
Spider
,
binding
it
on
with
a
fine
linnen
rag
.

The
Biting
of
a
Madde
Dogge
.
ALthough
in
this
our
countrey
of
England
,
I
haue
neither
seene
nor
heard
of
any
such
terrible
dangers
happening
to
people
by
a
mad-dogs
biting
,
as
in
other
Regions
:
yet
I
haue
seene
Dogs
mad
.
But
the
care
that
hath
been
used
for
prevention
,
hath
perhaps
hindred
the
sight
of
those
Accidents
which
old
Authors
haue
so
laboriously
Commented
upon
.
And
besides
that
,
the
temperature
of
our
Climate
keepeth
the
Dogges
of
our
Countrey
from
prooving
altogether
so
pernicious
as
in
Graecia
and
Arabia
.
For
Aëtius
saith
that
the
mad
Dogs
are
worst
in
intemperate
Climates
,
where

Howsoever

I
will
set
downe
a
briefe
course
of
helpe
,
to
prevent
,
the
incurablenesse
of
the
mischiefe
;
as
I
haue
it
from
the
best
Authors
.
This
kinde
of
madnesse
proceedeth
from
blacke
Cholerick
juices
wherewith
a
dogge
more
than
other
Beasts
aboundeth
.
per
Antiperistasin
,
so
much
enflamed
,
that
it
becommeth
burnt
Melancholy
.
You
shall
know
a
Dog
to
be
madde
,
Whosoever
therefore
is
bitten
by
such
a
Dog
,
must
presently
be
looked
to
.
And
if
the
Dog
that
hath
bitten
,
haue
passed
by
so
suddainly
,
that
sufficient
notice
could
not
be
taken
of
him
:
Then
dip
a
little
bread
in
the
bloud
of
the
wound
,
and
offer
it
to
some
other
Dog
that
is
not
madde
;
and
if
he
refuse
to
eate
it
:
there
is
cause
of
suspition
.
Or
take
a
Wallnut-kernell
pilled
,
beat
it
in
a
morter
,
then
steep
it
in
the
bloud
of
the
wound
;
and
giue
it
to
some
Poultry
mixed
with
their
meate
.
If
they
die
the
day
after
,
it
is
counted
a
sure
signe
that
that
biting
was
of
a
Madde
Dogge
.
The
partie
so
bitten
findes
no
alteration
in
himselfe
for
diverse
dayes
after
.
For
when
once
he
comes
to
barke
like
a
Dogge
,
to
hate
the
light
,
and
sight
of
all
shining
metalls
and
looking-glasses
;
as
also
to
feare
water
,
&
all
other
kindes
of
liquors
(
which
Symptoms
at
last
doth
follow
such
bitings
hitherto
uncured
)
he
is
held
to
be
past
cure
.
As
soone
therefore
as
any
one
upon
these
signes
suspecteth
himselfe
bitten
by
a
Madde
Dogge
,
let
him
presently
repayre
to
some
learned
Physition
,
or
at
least
to
some
well
experienced
Chirurgion
(
for
such
extraordinary
cases
are
beyond
ordinary
skills
)
if
such
may
be
had
.
Otherwise
let
some
discreet
man
read
carefully
this
Treatise
,
and
ponder
the
method
very
diligently
;
especially
this
Chapter
,
which
teacheth
thus
to
begin
the
Cure
.
Labour
forthwith
to
draw
the
contagion
out
of
the
wound
by
cupping-glasses
;
application
of
Pullets
or
Pigeons
that
lay
eggs
,
scarifications
,
Leeches
,
&
drawing
medicines
;
Take
of
Sublimate
two
drams
,
of
juice
of
Henbane
one
cunce
,
mixe
them
and
drie
them
together
,
and
make
them
into
a
fine
powder
.
Apply
some
of
this
,
and
when
the
scabby
crust
(
or
escar
)
is
growne
dry
upon
the
place
,
take
it
off
with
a
little
sweet
butter
,
or
with
sweet
butter
,
pitch
,
&
the
white
of
an
egge
mixed
together
.
When
it
is
come
off
,
fill
the
orifice
with
the
powder
of
Mercurie
and
Roche
Alum
,
or
els
use
Mercurie
mixed
with
a
little
Vnguentum
Basilicon
.
Which
Mercurie
is
an
excellent
thing
,
not
onely
to
keepe
the
wound
open
,
but
also
to
draw
the
poyson
outward
.
The
wound
must
be
kept
open
fortie
dayes
at
least
:
In
which
time
,
Or
els
you
may
dissolue
a
little
Andromachus
Treacle
in
white
wine
or
Aqua
vitae
;
Take
of
Vineger
a
pint
and
a
quarter
,
Opoponax
three
ounces
,
Tarre
one
ounce
.
Boyle
away
the
Vineger
,
and
make
it
a
Playster
.
And
this
is
highly
commended
by
the
Author
.
In
the
beginning
of
this
mischiefe
wee
must
neither
purge
nor
let
bloud
,
for
then
wee
shall
draw
the
venom
from
the
circumference
to
the
center
;
which
is
dangerous
to
life
.
Yet
both
these
meanes
may
be
used
afterward
;
if
by
continuance
of
time
,
and
neglect
in
the
beginning
,
the
venom
haue
spread
it selfe
into
all
the
vessels
.
In
the
meane
time
,
we
must
set
upon
it
with
apt
Antidotes
.
As
with
Garlick
boyled
in
white
Wine
,
and
drunke
fasting
;
which
resisteth
the
poysons
entrance
into
the
principall
parts
.
Or
,
Let
him
drinke
this
draught
every
morning
.
Take
the
powders
of
Myrrhe
and
Gentian
roote
;
of
each
one
dram
;
the
powder
of
River-Crabs
(
or
Crayfishes
)
two
drams
.
Mixe
them
in
a
fit
quantitie
of
white
Wine
,
and
drinke
it
.
Or
,
After
Galens
way
,
thus
.
Take
nine
parts
of
the
powder
of
burnt
River-Crabs
,
fiue
parts
of
Gentian
roote
powdered
,
and
one
of
Frankincense
powdered
.
Mix
them
together
,
and
giue
a
spoonfull
of
it
in
a
draught
of
Spring-water
.
These
Antidotes
are
thus
to
be
continued
fortie
daies
together
;
and
that
in
the
beginning
,
before
he
feareth
water
:
for
after
that
,
the
quantities
must
be
doubled
.
The
powder
of
Crabs
is
made
thus
.
Take
River-Crabs
,
(
for
Sea-Crabs
are
naught
for
this
use
)
in
the
height
of
Summer
,
when
the
Sunne
is
in
Leo
,
and
the
Moone
a
little
past
the
full
.
[
But
Rasis
will
haue
it
,
when
the
Sunne
is
in
Aries
.
[
Others
in
Cancer
;
it
seemes
à
similitudine
]
I
will
not
disp
ute
the
choyse
:
but
the
first
is
the
most
generally
accepted
,
from
Galen
]
These
being
gotten
,
must
be
put
aliue
into
a
copper
vessell
,
and
burnt
on
the
fire
to
ashes
.
Then
beate
them
in
a
Morter
,
searce
them
,
and
so
reduce
them
into
a
fine
Powder
.
Another
Author
,
called
Iohannes
Stockerus
,
both
in
this
,
and
in
all
other
kindes
of
venomous
bitings
,
affirmeth
,
this
course
following
,
never
to
haue
deceived
him
.
Take
Gentian
roote
powdered
,
and
Treacle
of
Andromachus
,
of
each
one
dram
,
every
morning
fasting
for
three
dayes
together
;
and
the
Patient
must
fast
fiue
houres
after
.
If
he
feele
himselfe
disposed
to
sweat
,
let
him
order
himselfe
in
his
bed
for
it
,
and
sweate
as
much
as
he
can
,
or
is
able
to
beare
.
To
the
wound
,
in
manner
of
a
Playster
,
applie
Garlicke
,
Rue
,
and
Salt
pounded
together
in
a
Morter
.
And
so
much
for
the
way
of
Cure
in
the
beginning
.
When
he
beginneth
to
be
affraid
of
water
,
Hydrophobia
.
he
hardly
admitteth
of
any
Cure
.
Now
the
reason
of
this
Hydrophobia
or
feare
of
water
is
generally
held
to
be
,
Hydrophobia
.
That
the
venom
abusing
the
Phantasie
,
makes
the
partie
affected
to
haue
horrid
imaginations
of
water
.
But
some
speciall
Authors
(
having
found
by
experience
that
the
drinking
of
cold
water
causeth
Convulsions
in
such
over-dryed
and
parched
stomacks
)
conclude
that
it
is
extreame
paine
&
torture
proceeding
from
that
drinking
that
so
terrifieth
them
from
it
.
And
this
also
is
the
reason
why
those
that
feare
water
are
counted
incurable
.
Therefore
the
water
that
is
forced
into
them
ought
to
be
at
first
very
warme
,
and
the
partie
must
by
degrees
be
brought
to
drinke
it
colder
and
colder
;
so
likewise
the
Baths
that
they
are
to
be
cast
into
,
ought
to
be
in
like
temper
,
to
avoyd
all
cramps
and
Convulsions
both
inward
and
outward
.
Neither
must
there
be
any
Bath
used
at
all
(
according
to
Oribasius
)
till
twentie
dayes
after
the
biting
,
at
the
soonest
.
This
Hydrophobia
(
or
feare
of
water
)
beginneth
not
at
any
certaine
time
after
the
Biting
.
For
most
commonly
it
followeth
fortie
dayes
after
;
in
some
,
seaven
moneths
;
in
others
a
whole
yeare
after
.
Againe
in
some
it
commeth
within
a
fortnight
after
:
According
to
the
strength
or
weaknesse
of
the
constitution
of
him
that
is
bitten
.
For
some
bodies
strength
is
able
to
resist
the
venom
farre
longer
,
when
others
weaknesse
sinkes
under
it
much
sooner
.
Some
haue
their
pores
more
streit
to
keepe
out
,
others
more
open
to
let
in
the
venom
.
Also
some
haue
their
bloud
and
humours
more
pure
(
and
therefore
lesse
apt
to
infection
)
others
more
impure
and
corrupt
;
therefore
more
easily
turned
into
venom
.
The
maine
generall
Remedie
is
by
Celsus
&
others
held
to
be
,
My selfe
(
upon
the
sight
of
a
picture
of
the
Water-Torture
in
Amboyna
)
haue
conceited
this
invention
.
Iohn
Baptists
head
in
a
platter
)
the
cloth
must
first
be
dipped
in
Oyle
and
Waxe
well
mixed
together
,
that
it
may
hold
water
like
a
Bason
:
Then
let
one
with
an
Ewer
or
Pitcher
poure
water
gently
into
the
cloth
,
till
the
water
rise
up
to
his
nostrills
,
where
through
it
may
enter
into
his
body
(
if
he
will
not
open
his
mouth
)
whether
he
will
or
no.
Keepe
the
Water
still
at
that
height
with
continuall
soft
pouring
in
,
til
he
hath
drunke
a
good
draught
:
onely
sometimes
forbeare
so
much
as
to
maintaine
his
breathing
.
Thus
haue
I
out
of
a
wicked
weed
sucked
Honey
for
Health
;
and
from
an
inhumane
torture
extracted
ease
in
a
grievous
sicknesse
.
This
is
the
helpe
without
which
is
no
help
;
for
this
case
is
held
incurable
without
drinking
of
water
.
Yet
this
is
not
all
that
must
be
done
:
Sena
,
Epithymum
,
Fumoterrae
,
Mirobalans
,
Elaterium
,
Blacke
Helebor
,
and
the
like
;
or
with
Hamech
,
Diacatholicon
or
Diacolocynthis
;
with
white
wine
,
wherein
is
decocted
also
rootes
of
Fenell
and
Parsley
,
of
medowgrasse
,
water
Lillies
,
and
of
Flower-Deluces
,
and
such
like
diureticke
simples
:
For
the
provocation
of
urine
is
also
in
this
case
very
behoouefull
.
This
only
I
set
downe
to
make
the
cure
compleat
;
but
I
doe
not
reduce
the
Purgatiues
into
form
;
because
by
this
time
there
is
leasure
enough
to
finde
out
a
Physition
.
Now
in
the
last
place
the
Patients
Dyet
commeth
to
be
observed
.
Wines
,
Sherrys
,
and
Graues-Claret
or
White
are
the
best
.
But
after
eight
,
or
at
the
farthest
fifteen
dayes
are
past
,
let
his
sauces
be
of
a
more
temperate
qualitie
,
tending
rather
to
moyst
than
drie
;
and
such
as
are
proper
to
resist
melancholy
;
as
pickled
Gelly-flowers
,
Broom-buds
,
Capars
,
Asparagus
,
and
such
like
.
In
his
Broths
boyle
Beets
,
Violets
,
Succorie
and
Endiue
,
Parsley
,
and
Fennell-roots
;
Anise-seeds
and
Fenell-seeds
,
and
such
other
simples
that
provoke
urine
,
(
which
as
I
sayd
before
are
very
profitable
in
this
case
)
Also
Sweet
Wines
,
as
Muscadine
,
Canarie
,
and
High-Countrey
white
wine
.
Sometimes
also
(
to
please
the
pallat
;
let
him
licke
of
Oxymel
simplex
,
Syrrup
of
Citrons
,
or
Syrrup
of
Lemons
.
He
may
also
eat
River-Crabs
or
Cray-fishes
either
raw
or
buttered
.
But
from
the
beginning
the
flesh
that
he
eateth
must
be
of
Mutton
,
Veale
,
Lambe
,
Kid
,
Rabbet
,
Pullet
,
Chicken
,
Partridge
or
Pheasant
.
Some
counsell
to
mince
some
roasted
Veale
,
and
the
Liver
of
the
mad
dogge
roasted
,
together
,
and
so
let
him
eare
it
with
a
little
butter
,
water
,
and
Vineger
.
To
conclude
;
His
Belly
must
be
kept
soluble
(
if
need
require
)
by
gentle
Giysters
and
Suppositories
:
And
his
Sleepe
must
in
the
beginning
be
but
little
;
but
when
he
beginneth
to
rage
,
and
is
of
himselfe
overwakefull
,
it
is
good
by
some
safe
outward
meanes
(
such
as
the
Artist
shall
see
cause
to
appoint
)
to
cause
Sleepe
.
CHAPTER
XI
.
Bitings
of
Creatures
not
venomous
,
yet
in
some
Constitutions
apt
to
turne
into
venom
.
SOme
are
bitten
by
Dogges
that
are
not
madde
;
or
by
Apes
,
Monckeys
,
Squirills
;
by
Horses
,
by
Mankinde
,
or
any
other
creature
not
venomous
:
yet
somtimes
these
wounds
in
some
kinde
of
Flesh
are
hard
to
heale
.
The
reason
is
either
in
the
Creature
biting
,
or
in
the
partie
bitten
.
In
the
Creature
biting
,
though
in
it's
owne
nature
it
be
not
venomous
;
yet
there
is
at
that
time
a
malignant
qualitie
in
the
moysture
of
the
mouth
,
begotten
by
the
disturbance
of
the
braine
,
through
immoderate
anger
.
In
the
partie
bitten
:
Now
for
such
hard
healing
Flesh
(
from
which
of
the
two
causes
soever
it
commeth
)
I
counsaile
,
that
besides
the
ordinarie
course
of
curing
wounds
artificially
according
to
the
Rules
of
Chururgerie
,
there
be
also
given
some
temperate
Cordiall
(
as
it
were
an
Antidote
against
this
venomous
Accident
)
to
call
up
the
Spirits
,
and
to
comfort
the
Faculties
.
For
I
know
it
by
experience
,
that
the
Cure
is
thereby
made
much
the
more
easie
.
Such
an
Antidote
is
this
following
;
which
(
because
it
cannot
be
rightly
made
but
by
an
Artist
)
I
will
set
downe
in
Latine
for
the
Apothecaries
understanding
onely
▪
least
the
Ignorant
tampering
beyond
their
skill
,
discredit

Inward
or
Outward
Bruises
by
a
fall
from
an
high
place
.
Somtimes
it
happeneth
unfortunately
,
that
a
Man
falleth
downe
from
an
high
place
,
as
from
a
house-top
,
a
high
tree
,
a
scaffold
,
or
a
ladder
;
and
is
taken
up
for
dead
:
yet
in
a
little
time
,
may
by
good
meanes
be
recovered
to
life
;
and
the
Bruise
(
whether
it
be
inward
or
outward
)
may
be
cured
.
In
this
case
,
the
maine
things
to
be
looked
to
,
are
:
First
to
recover
the
partie
to
life
&
sense
:
which
may
be
done
by
the
use
of
my
Cordiall
Water
,
called
Nepenthes
,
described
in
the
Chapter
immediately
going
before
;
or
els
with
some
other
comfortable
drinke
of
like
nature
.
Secondly
,
if
the
Bruise
be
Inward
:
If
the
partie
avoyd
bloud
,
it
is
not
amisse
,
so
it
goe
not
too
farre
to
the
expence
of
his
Spirits
:
But
if
so
,
then
giue
him
halfe
a
dram
of
Terra
Sigillata
in
a
draught
of
Posset

And
if

annoynting

For

are
almost
Strangled
by
a
Halter
,
Garter
,
or
such
like
meanes

SOme
haue
beene
strangled
in
jest
.
As
I
knew
a
Player
that
one
time
acting
a
part
wherein
he
was
to
be
hanged
;
and
having
not
fastned
his
halter
sufficiently
to
his
trusse
,
it
slipped
,
and
almost
choaked
him
in
earnest
.
I
knew
another
man
that
was
robber
at
Tiburn
,
and
because
he
asked
the
theeues
how
they
could
be
so
bold
to
tempt
their
fate
in
the
face
of
the
gallows
,
they
hanged
him
up
there
;
but
presently
upon
sight
of
company
tooke
them
to
their
heeles
,
and
by
the
same
company
the
man
was
saved
from
a
finall
execution
.
Some
also
through
desperation
haue
hanged
themselues
,
as
we
haue
too
often
examples
.
If
any
of
these
may
bee
cut
down
while
there
is
life
in
him
;
he
may
by
GODS
blessing
and
skilfull
endevours
be
recovered
.
A
learned
Doctor
of
Physicke
,
Guyn
.
being
asked
how
one
might
be
recovered
in
this
case
,
answered
both
briefly
and
wittily
;
Cut
a
throat
to
saue
a
life
.
As
soone
then
as
the
Halter
is
loosed

affirmeth
that
he
saw
three
recovered
that
foamed
at
the
mouth
.
One
of
which
had
hanged
himselfe
,
but
his
friends
did
quickly
cut
the
rope
,
and
he
was
preserved
by
drinking
Vineger
and
Pepper
:
for
that
mixture
restoreth
the
almost
extinct
heat
.
Being
come
to
himselfe
,
let
the
Patient
abstein
from
much
talke
,
for
the
space
of
foure
and
twenty
houres
;
and
let
him
haue
some
Ptisan
or
Pectorall
Decoction
for
his
drinke
.
And
when
he
is
grown
strong
againe
,
if
he
yet
feele
some
encumbrance
,
and
swelling
in
his
throat
;
it
is
good
to
open
the
Cephalica
,
or
head-veyne
of
his
arme
,
and
let
him
bleed
nine
or
ten
ounces
,
or
according
to
his
age
and
strength
.
But
this
must
bee
done
by
due
judgement
of
the
Artist

who
may
by
this

be
brought
to
him

For
such
as
are
almost
Drowned
and
stifled
in
Water
.
MAny
take
great
delight
in
swimming
and
bating
themselues
in
Ponds
and
Rivers
in
the
Summer
time
;
some
to
clense
and
coole
their
bodies
,
some
for
pleasure
of
their
skill
in
swimming
,
others
either
for
company
or
meere
wantonnesse
:
And
many
of
these
adventure
into
places
past
their
depth
;
where
I
haue
knowne
some
taken
with
the
Cramp
on
the
suddaine
,
that
if
there
had
not
beene
many
helpers
at
hand
,
they
had
speedily
perished
.
Some
happen
into
whirlepools
,
wherein
they
haue
been
violently
drawne
,
and
immediatly
drowned
,
while
their
companions
might
looke
on
with
sorrow
,
but
could
lend
no
helpe
to
saue
them
.
Others
in
a
great
River
haue
beene
carried
away
by
the
strength
of
the
streame
in
spite
of
their
skill
in
swimming
,
whereupon
before
they
had
so
much
presumed
.
Others
floating
among
slags
and
weeds
,
haue
had
their
feete
so
entangled
by
them
,
that
neither
the
strength
of
nature
,
nor
the
sleights
of
Art
could
keepe
them
from
being
cast
away
.
And
here
,
by
the
way
let
me
insert
a
counsell
to
such
as
are
Fathers
and
Mothers
,
Iuly
,
and
in
the
end
of
August
▪
That
is
,
before
and
in
the
end
of
the
dog
dayes
;
The
best
time
of
the
day
likewise
,
is
an
houre
before
Sunne-set
.
And
now
to
return
to
the
point
although
by
the
accidents
aforesaid
,
as
also
by
violent
stormes
,
&
the
darknesse
of
night
,
too
too
many
following
their
affayres
haue
beene
woefully
wasted
to
the
shore
of
suddain
death
:
yet
some
haue
bin
taken
up
for
dead
that
with
carefull
and
skilfull
usage
haue
recovered
both
Life
the
true
loue
of
nature
,
&
Health
the
happinesse
of
Life
.
Therefore
when
any
one
is
so
found
,
Linseed
oyle
,
&
thrust
it
into
his
throat
,
turning
it
round
therein
,
to
make
him
vomit
.
And
in
the
meane
time
,
let
others
help
forth
the
water
by
stroaking
,
crushing
,
and
driving
his
belly
and
stomacke
reasonable
hard
,
from
the
bottom
of
his
belly
toward
his
throat
.
If
it
be
cold
weather
,
let
all
this
be
done
in
a
warme
roome
before
a
good
fire
.
After
the
water
is
come
away
,
it
is
good
to
hold
strong
sweet
smelling
things
to
his
nose
(
as
Muske
,
Lignum
Aloës
,
or
such
like
)
to
warme
the
Braine
,
and
comfort
the
Spirits
.
Also
if
he
remaine
senselesse
or
faynting
,
his
Spirits
are
to
be
recalled
and
awaked
with
Ros
solis
,
Aqua
Caelestis
,
or
some
such
comfortable
water
;
and
he
is
to
be
handled
in
all
poynts
as
those
use
to
be
that
fall
in
a
Swound
.
If
by
these
meanes
he
recover
life

And
with
his
meat
,
let
him
eate
Pepper
and
Sùgar
,
or
Pepper
and
Honey
,
as
he
liketh
best
.
He
may
also
eate
a
roasted
egge
with
pepper
in
it
.
But
let
him
not
drink
at
all
in
24.
houres
at
the
least
,
&
then
let
it
be
middle-Beere
and
white
wine
mixed
together
;
of
which
let
him
drinke
but
2.
small
draughts
at
a
meale
,
and
betwixt
meales
not
at
all
.
This
Diet
let
him
obserue
for
a
weeke
together
,
keeping
himselfe
warme
and
moderately
stirring
his
body
immediately
before
,
&
an
houre
after
his
meate
.
Also
,
if
the
Physition
see
it
requisite
,
other
meanes
may
be
used
to
prevent
the
comming
of
a
Feavor
,
or
to
mitigate
,
and
take
it
away
if
it
be
already
come
;
as
also
to
prevent
a
Dropsie
,
which
is
a
likely
effect
of
such
a
watery
cause
.

Lastly
,
if
any
water
be
gotten
into
his
Eares
;
Take
Goose
grease
,
and
the
juice
of
an
Onion
,
mixe
them
well
together
,
and
drop
a
little
of
it
bloud-warme
into
his
Eares
.
Sometime
such
a
sorrowfuli
mis-fortune
may
befall
a
man
in
the
Winter
time
;
In
this
case
,
The
patients
diet
must
be
of
good
nourishing
and
warming
things
,
using
some
cordiall
medicine
morning
and
night
,
first
and
last
,
for
ten
dayes
together
.
Once
I
knew
an
Infant
of
two
yeares
olde
,
Skenckius
being
sent
for
,
Figges
,
adding
a
little
Butter
and
Sugar
.
This
he
caused
presently
to
be
poured
downe
her
throat
luke-warme
;
where
by
she
was
provoked
to
vomit
out
all
the
soapie
water
;
and
so
was
recovered
.
And
I
beleeue
(
though
Skenckius
make
no
mention
of
it
)
he
gaue
her
also
afterward
some
Antidote
or
Cordiall
Medicine
(
as
was
meete
)
to
resist
the
venomous
qualitie
of
the
Soap
,
where
of
it
must
needs
leaue
some
reliques
behinde
it
,
too
strong
for
the
weake
nature
of
such
an
Infant
to
overcome
.
Therefore
in
this
case
I
would
giue
ten
graines
of
Harts
horne
finely
powdered
,
with
one
graine
of
Bezoar-stone
,
or
els
with
three
or
foure
graines
of
Ambar-greise
in
a
little
distilled
water
of
Carduus
,
Scabius
,
or

.
And
this
should
be
repeated
every
six
houres
,
till
it
haue
beene
given
three
times

suddainly
cast
up

No

Ambrose
Parey
(
in
his
treatise
de
Renuntiationibus
)
finding
two
servants
in
this
case
,
Ambrose
Parey
.
in
sight
dead
,
and
their
teeth
set
in
their
head
;
tooke
this
course
.
First
with
a
silver
quill
(
which
one
may
better
doe
with
a
Syringe
)
he
put
into
their
months
some
Aqua
vitae
well
rectified
(
that
is
,
twice
or
thrice
distilled
)
with
Hiera
and
Treacle
dissolved
in
it
.
With
often
doing
thus
,
they
beganne
to
stirre
;
and
soone
after
voyded
much
filth
at
the
nose
&
mouth
,
Vpon
this
,
he
gaue
them
Oxymel
very
often
,
with
which
(
together
with
much
rubbing
&
clapping
on
the
backe
)
a
great
deale
of
flegme
and
slimie
stuffe
,
with
bloudy
yellow
frothy
matter
came
out
of
their
mouths
.
Then
did
he
blow
up
into
their
nostrills
the
powder
of
Euphorbium
to
purge
the
braine
better
(
but
I
would
rather
advise
the
powder
of
good
Tobacco
,
with
a
little
Euphorbium
,
if
need
be
;
because
Euphorbium
of
it selfe
is
dangerously
violent
)
and
so
with
oyle
of
Mints
rubbing
the
pallats
of
their
mouths
,
and
their
jawes
within
,
much
more
filthy
matter
came
forth
.
Then
a
sharpe
Glyster
drew
the
remnant
downward
After
which
,
with
Cordialls
he
refreshed
their
spirits
,
and
rectified
their
depraved
humors
.

by
chance
,

with

againe

Neverthelesse
,
using

And
if
any

it
must
be

For
things
Sticking
in
the
Throate
.
OF
Things
that
endanger
stopping
of
the
breath
in
swallowing
,
some
are
Sharp
,
and
some
Blunt
.
Of
the
Sharp
sort
are
Fishbones
,
Of
the
Blunt
sort
,
Greeke
Poet
was
choaked
with
a
Grape
stone
.
Now
of
those
things
that
are
Blunt
;
they
that
are
of
the
bigger
size
cannot
fall
into
the
winde-pipe
,
because
the
passage
is
too
little
to
entertaine
them
:
But
they
offend
with
their
over-bignesse
sticking
in
the
meate-pipe
,
and
so
compressing
or
thrusting
together
the
necke
of
the
windepipe
which
joyneth
to
the
meat-pipe
,
that
the
breath
(
for
that
cause
)
cannot
passe
freely
.
On
the
other
side
,
very
Small
things
,
as
a
Crumme
,
a
drop
of
liquor
,
or
the
like
,
cannot
sticke
in
the
meat-pipe
;
but
their
offence
is
by
reason
that
when
we
swallow
and
breath
at
once
,
the
Epiglottis
(
which
is
a
little
peice
of
flesh
that
covereth
the
mouth
of
the
windepipe
to
keepe
the
things
that
we
swallow
from
falling
into
it
)
lifting
it selfe
up
(
as
it
alwayes
doth
either
to
take
in
aire
,
or
to
let
out
breath
)
some
little
thing
may
in
that
poynt
of
time
slip
into
the
windepipe
,
whose
passage
is
so
streit
,
that
the
breath
is
presently
stopped
.
The
Sharp
things
may
light
into
either
passage
,
and
if
they
turne
crosse
;
their
offence
is
painfull
pricking
&
wounding
of
the
part
;
whereupon
may
follow
inflamation
,
and
swelling
;
which
swelling
will
stop
the
breath
also
,
as
in
the
Squinancie
the
swelling
of
the
neighbour-parts
streitens
the
Breath-pipe
.
If
those
of
the
bigger
Blunt
sort
sticke
in
the
mouth
of
the
meat-pipe
,
If
a
Pinne
or
Fish-bone
sticke
in
the
throat
,
and
it
be
so
high
that
(
opening
the
mouth
wide
)
you
may
see
some
part
of
it
:
plucke
it
out
(
if
you
can
come
at
it
)
with
your
fingers
;
or
with
a
hooked
wiar
,
or
else
with
two
smooth
stickes
in
manner
of
a
payre
of
tongs
:
a
small
curling-iron
is
very
apt
for
the
purpose
.
If
it
be
low
&
out
of
sight
,
thrust
in
a
small
Candle
of
Virgin-wax
warmed
sufficiently
,
that
the
Pin
or
Bone
may
sticke
to
it
when
it
toucheth
it
,
and
so
you
may
draw
it
out
.
Or
if
you
haue
no
such
Candle
,
take
a
small
limber
willow
sticke
,
make
it
crooked
like
a
bow
,
and
annoynt
it
at
one
end
with
Turpentine
,
and
assay
in
the
same
manner
to
fetch
it
out
.
Or
let
him
swallow
downe
a
peece
of
a
Spronge
fastned
to
the
end
of
a
browne
thred
,
and
annoynted
with
Turpentine
;
and
when
it
is
gone
so
low
as
to
touch
that
which
sticketh
in
the
way
;
with
the
thred
plucke
out
the
Sponge
againe
.
If
it
will
not
come
forth
;
Swallow
a
peice
of
fat
meate
upon
it
to
driue
it
downe
;
or
a
figge
opened
&
turned
the
inside
outward
;
or
a
crummy
peice
of
new
bread
dipped
in
saller
Oyle
.
But
if
a
crumme
of
Bread
,
But
sometime
a
drop
of
Vineger
,
or
some
such
sharpe
sauce
slipping
of
it selfe
into
the
same
passage
,
causeth
much
trouble
.
The
partie
must
then
drinke
leasurely
,
and
by
gulps
a
draught
or
two
of
water
and
honey
;
or
els
of
small
Ale
and

white
of

is
very
good
;
if
you
drop
now
and
then
a
drop
of
it
into
the
eye
.
But
the
Playster
of
Carduus
described
in
the
8.
Chapter
is
most
soveraigne
.
I
was
in
place
about
seaven
yeares
since
,
Here
obserue
that
the
eye
must
never
be
dressed
with
any
Oyle
or
Oyntment
;
But
for
all
the
parts
of
the
Head
and
body
beside
,
make
use
of
these
two
Oyntments
following
,
which
are
approoved
excellent
for
All
kindes
of
Scaldings
and
Burnings
whatsoever
.
The
first
is
my
Grand-fathers
,
TAke
of
sweet
Butter
newly
charned
,
and
never
salted
what
quantitie
you
will
;
boyle
in
it
a
fit
quantitie
of
Goose-dung
;
strayne
it
into
cleare
and
sweet
Spring-water
.
Doe
this
seaven
times
:
and
the
eight
time
strayn
it
into
Rose-water
;
where
let
it
remaine
for
the
space
of
twelue
houres
.
Ever
now
and
then
crushing
it
,
and
working
it
together
with
very
cleane
hands
.
After
that
,
take
it
out
,
and
put
it
up
in
a
Gally
pot
;
keeping
it
as
a
precious
oyntment
for
that
use
.
It
taketh
away
the
paine
presently
,
and
healeth
with
as
little
blemish
as
may
be
.
The
second
hath
beene
often
prooved
by
the
Right
Honourable
,
the
Lady
Hastings
,
late
deceased
.
TAke
the
leaues
of
the
Thorny-Apple
of
Peru
,
English
Tobacco
,
and
Ground
Ivie
,
of
each
a
like
quantitie
.
Chop
them
small
,
and
rub
them
in
a
stone-morter
as
you
doe
Green-sauce
.
Then
in
a
fit
quantitie
of
Hogs-grease
boyle
them
very
leasurely
on
a
gentle
fire
,
till
it
begin
to
looke
green
.
Then
strayn
it
,
coole
it
,
and
reserue
it
.
When
it
is
cold
,
while
it
standeth
to
settle
,
you
shall
see
a
thin
part
aboue
seperate
it selfe
from
the
thicker
part
underneath
:
every
day
therefore
,
as
it
setleth
,
poure
gently
of
that
thin
part
(
as
of
no
use
)
and
keepe
onely
that
which
is
thicke
.
This
healeth
grievous
Burnings
and
Scaldings
without
scarre
.
But
the
part
when
it
is
dressed
must
be
left
bare
,
that
no
linnen
or
woolen
touch
it
.
Thus
haue
I
endevoured
a
common
good
.
And
I
beseech
our
Lord
Iesus
Christ
so
to
blesse
all
his
servants
,
that
either
by
his
Providence
they
fall
not
into
any
of
these
Accidents
,
or
els
by
his
blessing
upon
these
or
the
like
meanes
they
may
safely
escape
them
.
An
Advertisement
to
the
Reader
.
IN
this
whole
Treatise
,
the
Quantities
of
the
Inward
Medicines
must
be
balanced
with
the
Age
and
Strength
of
the
Patient
.
For
the
Doses
that
I
haue
set
down
are
intended
for
those
that
are
in
full
ripenesse
of
years
,
in
the
vigorous
strength
of
their
age
.
Those
that
are
by
age
or
nature
more
tender
or
feeble
,
must
take
lesse
quantities
at
a
time
,
according
to
the
difference
of
their
Age
and
Strength
.
