Book

CHAP.
I.
Of
the
Nature
of
Physick
,
and
the
Office
of
a
Physician
.
GOd
in
his
Power
,
having
created
all
things
;
in
his
Wisdom
,
by
Nature
,
governeth
and
preserveth
them
all
:
by
her
,
are
the
variable
motions
,
and
revolutions
of
the
Sun
,
Moon
,
and
Stars
harmonically
preserved
:
in
her
hands
,
are
the
mutations
and
Catastrophes
of
times
:
she
is
the
moderator
of
the
sourging
Ocean
:
This
immensity
of
things
she
governeth
in
a
certain
,
and
immutable
order
.
There
is
nothing
in
the
universe
,
but
yeilds
obedience
to
this
Law
:
whatever
are
contained
in
the
Animal
,
Vegetable
,
or
Mineral
Kingdoms
,
are
wisely
governed
,
and
providenially
preserved
,
by
the
Will
of
the
Divine
Architector
,
in
the
Government
of
Nature
.
But
to
steer
our
course
nearer
to
our
intention
;
the
little
world
,
or
body
of
man
,
is
subject
to
natures
government
whose
Deputy
or
Representative
is
Physick
;
Naturae
legibus
esse
medicinae
leges
consentaveas
:
The
Laws
of
physick
are
agreeable
to
the
Laws
of
Nature
:
Physick
imitates
Nature
,
its
design
is
to
preserve
the
body
in
health
,
defend
it
from
infirmities
,
to
strengthen
,
and
corroborate
the
weak
,
to
raise
the
dejected
,
in
a
word
,
to
keep
the
body
in
health
and
comfort
,
till
the
approach
of
death
,
to
whose
yoak
all
must
yield
:
whose
Laws
,
the
greatest
Monarchs
,
Kings
,
and
Princes
,
cannot
resist
.
To
this
one
Law
all
people
of
every
Countrey
,
Nation
,
quality
and
degree
become
obedient
;
as
to
a
Law
,
most
necessary
,
most
excellent
,
sound
pure
&
just
;
being
grounded
upon
,
and
drawn
from
the
purest
and
most
wholsom
fountains
of
Nature
.
It
is
not
strict
nor
rigid
,
but
mild
and
gentle
;
it
succoureth
,
refresheth
,
and
restoreth
those
that
have
languished
by
reason
of
tedious
diseases
:
health
of
body
is
all
the
comfort
a
man
hath
in
this
troublesome
and
turbulent
world
:
this
is
that
,
which
maketh
humane
actions
to
flourish
:
she
is
the
most
excellent
chamber
companion
,
she
is
the
richest
treasure
;
for
she
is
more
precious
then
gold
,
the
best
of
all
earthly
goods
;
to
say
all
,
Without
it
,
no
earthly
thing
is
a
blessing
.
Hence
it
cometh
,
that
the
Art
of
Physick
hath
gained
a
reverend
esteem
in
all
Ages
:
and
the
Physicians
sometimes
,
more
than
humane
honour
.
Aesculapius
transported
this
Art
from
Aegypt
into
Greece
:
the
Greciaus
(
thinking
he
could
raise
the
dead
)
honoured
,
and
worshipped
him
as
a
god
,
&
his
two
daughters
as
goddesses
.
Indeed
the
difficulty
of
Medicine
brings
the
more
honour
&
dignity
to
a
good
Physician
,
which
generally
is
thus
described
:
A
good
Physician
ought
to
be
a
man
learned
,
honest
,
gentle
,
diligent
.
He
ought
to
trust
in
God
,
more
than
in
his
own
skill
.
He
ought
to
know
what
he
would
do
,
and
be
able
to
put
it
into
practice
,
because
the
health
and
life
of
mankind
is
committed
into
his
hands
.
And
,
as
he
imitates
Christ
who
cures
the
soul
,
the
Physician
the
body
;
so
he
ought
to
imitate
him
in
a
holy
and
unblameable
conversation
.
He
ought
to
deny
himself
,
and
to
be
very
tender
of
the
poor
.
He
must
not
be
ignorant
in
Divinity
,
well
skilled
in
Anatomy
,
in
the
knowledge
of
Simples
,
and
making
up
of
compound
Medicines
:
And
(
saith
Galen
)
if
he
be
ignorant
of
the
Mathe
maticks
,
he
is
a
murderer
.
Hippocrates
in
his
Aphorisms
describes
a
Physician
thus
;
He
ought
in
discourse
to
be
witty
and
solid
:
and
so
let
him
behave
himself
in
reproving
the
errors
of
his
Patient
,
and
those
that
look
to
him
,
Let
him
not
be
fearful
nor
over
consident
,
but
let
him
walk
in
the
middle
path
,
between
fear
and
confidence
.
He
should
be
neat
in
body
and
mind
,
temperate
in
diet
,
a
hater
of
venereous
and
lascivious
actions
:
let
every
wise
man
beware
of
a
drunken
Physician
,
or
any
way
viciously
inclined
.
Let
him
not
greedily
desire
honour
,
but
what
he
honestly
getteth
by
his
Art
;
let
him
not
beg
it
of
others
,
nor
confer
it
upon
himself
.
Let
him
be
courteous
and
have
a
fellow
feeling
of
others
miseries
.
Let
him
declare
the
event
of
a
disease
,
so
far
as
he
knoweth
it
,
that
so
he
may
stir
up
the
sick
to
obedience
,
and
avoid
the
ignominse
of
that
may
be
cast
upon
the
Art
:
yet
let
him
so
declare
it
,
as
not
to
afflict
the
mind
with
the
Disease
of
the
body
.
A
good
Physician
is
not
envious
at
the
successe
of
another
,
nor
will
he
detract
from
his
due
praise
.
He
ought
not
to
be
dogged
,
currish
,
scurrilous
,
nor
ridiculous
,
to
be
familiar
with
all
,
and
speak
no
more
than
becometh
him
:
let
him
use
but
few
words
,
and
those
that
are
pertinent
to
the
purpose
.
Let
gravity
and
love
,
be
read
in
his
face
.
He
ought
to
visit
the
sick
as
often
as
necessity
requireth
,
and
speak
comfortably
to
him
.
Let
no
unseemly
action
,
nor
uncivil
word
proceed
from
him
.
Let
him
not
forsake
his
Patient
for
any
cause
whatsoever
.
Let
him
consult
with
God
in
the
beginning
of
all
his
cures
,
and
heartily
give
God
thanks
for
the
performance
of
them
.
Let
him
love
godliness
,
and
honesty
,
and
be
an
unblameable
servant
to
God
,
and
Nature
.
These
are
the
principal
and
chief
Characters
,
by
which
every
diseased
man
may
make
choice
of
his
Physician
,
of
whom
I
shall
say
with
the
learned
Fernelius
:
Medicus
remedia
confert
,
non
solum
ut
naturae
minister
,
fed
interdum
ut
adjutor
,
interdum
etiam
ut
opifex
primarius
:
A
Physician
doth
cure
,
not
only
as
Natures
servant
,
but
sometimes
us
her
helper
,
yea
sometimes
as
the
chief
workman
.
I
shall
not
build
my
discourse
Theorically
but
Practically
:
and
having
in
the
former
Book
briefly
desctibed
the
principal
parts
of
man
and
the
humane
faculties
and
virtues
thereon
depending
:
I
shall
in
this
Book
declare
the
Causes
,
Symptoms
,
and
Cures
of
Diseases
in
those
parts
,
which
hinder
them
in
the
exercise
of
those
humane
faculties
.
I
shall
treat
of
each
disease
simply
and
distinctly
,
and
leave
this
Aphorism
to
the
consideration
of
the
ingenious
:
Simplex
affectus
,
simplici
remedio
;
compositus
composito
propellendus
:
A
simple
Disease
is
removed
by
a
simple
remedy
;
a
compound
Disease
is
expelled
by
compound
Medicines
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
Diseases
of
the
Head
.
MAny
Diseases
are
incident
to
the
Head
of
Man
,
I
shall
treat
of
them
in
order
,
according
to
the
places
which
they
possesse
,
which
I
shall
devide
into
three
parts
:
First
,
the
Membranes
.
Secondly
,
the
substance
of
the
Brain
.
Thirdly
,
the
Nerves
which
nourish
the
Brain
.
The
Membranes
,
is
the
first
pannicle
within
the
Skull
,
called
Dura
Mater
;
or
without
the
Skull
,
called
Pericranium
:
which
are
subject
to
these
Diseases
,
viz.
the
Head-ach
,
the
inveterate
Head-ach
,
and
the
Megrim
.
In
the
substance
of
the
Brain
,
which
is
the
seat
and
instrument
of
the
intellectual
faculties
of
the
Soul
,
viz.
imaginations
,
judgment
,
and
memory
,
are
defects
also
,
viz.
the
depravation
of
those
faculties
,
as
a
Frensie
,
Melancholy
,
and
Madnesse
;
Sleepy
Disease
,
Lethargy
.
The
Ventricles
of
the
brain
are
subject
to
many
distempers
,
as
Vertigo
,
Falling
sicknesse
,
the
night
Mare
,
the
Apoplexy
,
Palsy
,
Convulsion
,
trembling
and
quaking
,
and
Catarrhs
.
Of
inveterate
Head-ach
,
โโฆd
the
Megrim
.
The
inveterate
Head-ach
is
called
in
Greek
and
Latine
,
Cephalaea
;
it
is
a
disease
of
long
continuance
,
very
painful
,
and
upon
every
light
occasion
invadeth
the
Patient
with
sharp
fits
;
that
he
cannot
indure
noise
,
nor
light
,
but
desireth
to
lye
still
in
the
dark
:
sometime
this
Disease
is
with
continuance
,
and
sometimes
with
intermission
.
The
Cause
.
This
Disease
is
caused
through
blood
or
other
humors
abounding
,
or
by
sharp
humors
,
or
vapours
within
or
without
the
Scull
,
inflaming
the
Head
:
sometimes
weaknesse
of
the
Head
is
the
Cause
.
The
Sign
.
If
fulnesse
of
humors
be
the
cause
of
the
Disease
:
then
is
the
Head
very
heavy
and
lumpish
:
if
the
humors
be
sharp
,
the
pain
is
felt
with
pricking
&
shooting
,
if
there
be
inflammation
,
the
Head
worketh
like
the
Pulses
:
if
wind
be
the
peccant
cause
,
there
is
found
distention
or
stretching
out
,
without
heaviness
or
beating
:
if
two
or
more
of
these
Symptomes
appear
together
,
judge
accordingly
.
Note
that
if
the
pain
be
felt
superficially
,
or
outwardly
,
than
is
the
perieranium
grieved
:
If
it
be
felt
within
(
which
is
known
by
the
pain
at
the
roots
of
the
Eys
)
then
is
the
grief
within
the
Dura
Mater
.
Hemicrania
or
the
Megrim
differeth
not
from
Cephalaea
,
saving
if
in
the
Megrim
one
half
of
the
Head
is
afflicted
,
whereas
in
the
other
the
whole
Head
,
by
the
aforegoing
Symptoms
,
you
may
discover
the
humour
offending
.
The
Cure
.
As
there
are
diversity
of
Causes
,
so
there
is
of
Cures
:
If
the
Disease
be
ingendred
of
plenitude
of
humors
,
and
the
whole
boy
appโโฆโโฆll
:
it
is
not
amiss
to
begin
the
cure
with
the
evacuโโฆ
of
the
whole
body
:
and
if
age
,
strength
and
the
season
consent
,
open
the
Gephalick
or
head
Vein
:
If
flegmatick
and
viscuous
humors
,
be
the
Cause
,
it
is
good
to
extenuate
and
make
thin
the
humors
,
thus
;
Take
of
Oximel
scilliticum
,
and
syrup
of
Staechas
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
distilled
water
of
Marjerom
,
Betony
and
Parsley
,
an
ounce
;
mix
these
and
make
a
potion
for
the
morning
.
Or
else
make
a
decoction
in
this
manner
;
Take
Mint
,
Calamint
,
Marjerom
,
Betony
,
Sage
,
of
each
half
a
handful
:
the
seeds
of
sweet
Fennel
,
Annis
,
and
Parstey
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
the
roots
of
Asparagus
,
Fennel
,
and
Parsley
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
Peony
root
,
half
an
ounce
;
shread
the
hearbs
,
bruise
the
seeds
,
slice
the
roots
,
and
take
out
the
pith
,
and
boil
it
in
a
quart
of
water
till
half
be
consumed
,
strein
it
,
and
add
of
syrup
of
Betony
compound
,
one
ounce
:
and
Oximel
simplex
as
much
;
and
make
a
potion
for
three
times
;
take
it
,
at
night
two
hours
after
a
light
supper
;
the
Body
thus
prepared
,
you
may
come
to
purge
,
and
evacuate
the
peccant
humours
:
Take
half
a
dram
of
Pill
.
Cochiae
,
the
greater
in
the
morning
,
and
keep
the
Chamber
;
they
which
are
most
commendable
are
pills
of
Hiera
with
Agarick
;
Take
half
a
drachm
at
night
two
hours
after
a
light
supper
,
take
some
warm
broth
in
the
morning
,
and
keep
the
house
;
thus
do
for
a
week
or
longer
:
in
like
manner
you
may
use
Pill
.
Alephanginae
,
and
order
your
body
as
before
:
and
remember
that
grosse
and
clammy-humours
will
not
follow
,
a
sudden
purgation
,
and
therefore
often
purging
is
used
,
that
so
they
may
be
drawn
out
by
little
and
little
.
Also
clisters
are
necessary
because
they
cleanse
the
bowels
,
and
pull
back
those
humours
and
vapours
,
which
ascend
and
annoy
the
head
:
Take
of
Mallows
,
Pellitorie
of
the
Wall
,
Endive
,
Succorie
,
Violet-leaves
,
Cammomell-flowers
,
of
each
one
handfull
,
sweet
Fennellseed
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
Linseed
,
Two
drachmes
,
boile
them
in
a
quart
of
Spring
water
,
(
or
rather
cleare
posset-drink
,
)
till
halfe
be
consumed
,
streine
it
out
;
and
to
the
decoction
,
adde
of
the
pulpe
of
Cassia
Fistula
,
one
ounce
;
Oile
of
Rue
halfe
an
ounce
,
Benedictae
Laxativae
,
half
an
ounce
.
The
Body
being
purged
by
discretion
,
it
is
not
amisse
,
for
the
patient
to
make
use
of
some
diet
drink
,
that
hath
power
to
warme
the
braine
,
to
exsiccate
and
concoct
crude
humours
,
to
attenuate
the
grosse
,
cut
that
which
is
tough
,
and
expell
the
thinnest
,
either
by
Urine
,
or
insenfible
transpiration
.
You
may
make
it
thus
.
Take
of
Guajacum
,
Sassufras
,
the
Root
of
Salsaperilla
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
English
Liquoris
,
and
Cinamon
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
Coriander-seed
halfe
an
ounce
:
infuse
them
24
houres
in
4
quarts
of
Spring-water
,
the
vessell
standing
in
hot
embers
,
and
close
covered
;
afterwards
boile
it
gently
to
the
consumption
of
halfe
,
sweeten
it
with
honey
,
whilst
it
is
hot
;
let
the
Patient
drink
halfe
a
pint
in
the
morning
,
and
dispose
himself
for
sweat
:
and
if
he
drink
it
for
his
ordinary
drink
,
15
or
20
dayes
more
or
lesse
,
as
necessity
requireth
,
it
is
the
better
.
If
the
Patient
become
costive
by
the
use
of
this
diet
drink
,
let
him
take
a
Clyster
,
as
often
as
need
requireth
:
and
once
in
seaven
dayes
let
him
take
some
purging
medicine
;
that
day
,
omitting
the
diet
drink
.
This
bole
,
taken
in
the
morning
two
houres
before
meat
,
is
exceeding
good
to
strengthen
the
head
,
after
due
evacuation
of
the
peccant
humours
,
viz:
Conserve
of
Roses
,
and
of
Rosemary-flowers
,
of
each
two
scruples
,
of
Venice
Treacle
the
weight
of
both
,
with
a
little
fine
Sugar
,
make
bole
,
and
administer
it
,
as
before
.
Likewise
may
Gargarisms
be
made
,
and
used
in
manner
following
:
Take
the
root
of
Masterwort
a
drachme
,
Long-Pepper
and
Nutmegs
,
halfe
a
dram
:
Mustard-seed
one
scruple
,
beat
them
to
powder
,
and
put
them
in
a
linnen
cloth
,
and
chew
it
halfe
an
hour
,
which
will
purge
the
head
of
grosse
and
phlegmatique
humours
.
Somtimes
it
is
convenient
to
use
Sneezing-Powders
,
and
you
may
make
them
in
this
sort
:
Take
the
Leaves
of
Marjarom
,
Rosemary
,
and
Betony
dryed
,
two
scruples
,
white
Hellebore
,
Cloves
,
Nutmegs
,
Cubeba
,
of
each
halfe
a
scruple
,
beat
them
into
fine
powder
,
and
,
by
the
help
of
a
quill
,
provoke
sneezing
.
Also
a
quilt
,
to
corroborate
and
strengthen
the
Brain
may
be
thus
made
:
Take
of
Wood-Betony
dryed
,
one
ounce
:
the
flowers
of
Rosemary
,
and
Stachas
,
a
Drachm
;
Red-rose-leaves
,
two
drachms
,
Frankinsence
,
Mastick
,
Benzoin
,
Mace
and
Cloves
,
of
each
halfe
a
Drachme
,
beat
them
to
powder
and
quilt
it
in
Silk
or
Linnen
,
and
apply
it
warme
.
I
might
here
reach
you
to
make
Plaisters
to
corroborate
the
braine
,
to
attract
,
or
resolve
the
humours
,
but
I
forbeare
here
for
brevityes-sake
,
and
referr
you
to
its
proper
place
,
where
I
shall
treat
of
the
making
of
Plaisters
and
their
uses
.
If
the
distemper
hath
its
originall
from
Cholerick
humours
;
let
him
use
meats
and
drinks
that
are
naturally
cold
and
moist
;
it
is
convenient
that
the
humours
be
prepared
,
quenched
,
and
concocted
:
for
which
purpose
you
may
use
this
medicine
following
;
Sirrup
of
Violets
one
ounce
,
of
Water-Lillies
,
halfe
an
ounce
,
distilled
waters
of
Endive
,
Succory
and
Lettuce
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
mix
them
,
and
drink
it
in
the
morning
fasting
;
the
humours
thus
concocted
,
and
made
mild
and
obedient
unto
nature
,
may
the
better
be
removed
by
purging
medicines
:
To
which
purpose
,
take
fine
Rubarb
two
drachms
,
Spickuard
,
one
scruple
,
cut
small
and
infused
in
the
distilled
water
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
and
buglosse
of
each
one
ounce
,
for
the
space
of
twelve
houres
:
dissolve
therein
a
drachme
of
the
electuary
of
the
juyce
of
Roses
,
and
make
a
purging
potion
.
Pills
of
Reubarbs
,
and
Alephangina
may
be
safely
used
in
this
case
:
the
dose
is
a
scruple
or
halfe
a
drachme
taken
at
night
going
to
bed
:
Pill
,
aureae
,
or
golden
Pills
taken
halfe
a
drachm
in
the
morning
,
purgeth
cholerick
and
other
offensive
humours
from
the
head
.
Clysters
in
this
case
profiteth
much
.
Take
of
the
decoction
for
a
Clyster
before
described
:
adde
one
ounce
of
Cassia
fistula
,
Hiera
picra
halfe
an
ounce
,
oyle
of
Roses
one
ounce
,
Salt
halfe
a
drachme
,
mix
them
and
make
a
Clyster
.
After
purging
of
the
Cholerick
humour
it
is
convenient
to
coole
and
strengthen
the
head
by
outward
medicines
:
oyle
of
Roses
,
and
oyle
of
Cammomell
,
mixed
with
a
little
white-Wine-Vinegar
,
is
good
to
anoint
the
head
;
but
if
there
need
greater
cooling
,
you
may
adde
to
the
oyles
juyce
of
Housleek
,
Purslane
,
Nightshade
or
Sorrell
.
If
the
sick
cannot
sleep
,
anoint
the
forehead
with
oyle
of
Water
Lillies
and
Poppy
.
If
the
symptomes
declare
wind
to
be
the
cause
,
let
the
Patient
eschue
all
meats
that
do
breed
windinesse
,
empty
the
belly
with
Clysters
;
that
are
made
of
such
things
as
do
naturally
dissolve
windinesse
:
viz.
The
seeds
of
Annise
,
Sweet
Fennell
,
Carraway
and
Comin
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
boile
them
in
a
quart
of
posset-drink
till
halfe
be
wasted
,
streine
it
,
and
adde
to
the
liquor
Catholicon
,
and
diaphaenicon
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
.
This
Clister
doth
not
only
purge
the
intestines
,
and
those
parts
about
the
Liver
,
but
also
pulleth
back
those
vapours
which
ascend
to
the
Head
.
To
the
outside
of
the
Head
may
be
applyed
repulsive
medicines
,
as
Vinegar
,
Wormwood
,
Melilot
,
Mints
,
Pomegranate-rinds
,
Shephards
Pouch
,
Purslane
,
Lawrell
,
Nutmeggs
,
&c
:
After
a
moderate
use
of
these
,
adde
medicines
that
have
power
to
mitigate
,
concoct
,
and
digest
:
as
Camomell
,
Linseed
,
Fenugreek
,
Saffron
,
yelks
of
Eggs
,
Hens
and
Goose-grease
.
Lastly
,
apply
medicines
that
have
power
to
discusse
,
viz:
meale
of
Lupines
,
and
Barley
,
Lilly-roots
,
Nigella
,

III.
Of
the
Frensie
.
THe
Frensie
is
an
inflammation
of
the
braine
and
membranes
thereof
caused
by
the
abundance
of
blood
or
choler
occupying
those
parts
:
it
differeth
from
madnesse
in
this
that
a
fever
is
joyned
to
the
Frensie
.
Some
that
are
thus
grieved
,
do
erre
much
in
imagination
;
others
are
acute
in
imagination
,
but
want
judgment
to
regulate
their
cogitations
:
and
some
are
deprived
of
memory
.
Symptoms
and
Signes
.
They
who
are
thus
greived
,
are
in
a
continuall
Fever
,
are
mad
,
and
cannot
sleep
:
Somtimes
they
sleep
,
and
are
much
troubled
therein
.
They
often
rub
their
eyes
,
which
are
red
and
somtimes
dry
,
somtimes
afflicted
with
a
hot
rhume
.
The
tongue
is
rough
,
sometimes
they
bleed
at
Nose
;
they
snatch
and
catch
at
the
bed-clothes
:
their
Pulse
is
weak
,
and
hard
like
the
motion
of
a
sinew
:
they
breathe
seldome
:
If
choler
be
the
cause
of
the
I
hrensie
,
they
rage
very
furiously
,
and
can
scarcely
be
ruled
:
if
blood
be
the
cause
,
they
somtimes
laugh
,
and
rejoyce
:
This
disease
(
according
to
the
opinion
of
the
wisest
Physitians
)
for
the
most
part
is
deadly
and
incurable
.
The
Cure
.
For
the
cure
of
this
distemper
,
the
blood
,
or
cholet
afflicting
the
braine
,
must
be
discussed
,
pulled
back
,
repelled
,
and
evacuated
,
so
,
that
the
distemper
of
the
head
be
removed
,
the
strength
of
the
head
,
and
of
the
whole
body
be
preserved
.
It
is
convenient
,
as
soon
as
the
disease
is
discovered
to
open
a
Veine
,
having
first
administred
a
Clyster
,
thus
made
:
Take
of
the
Leaves
of
Violets
,
Mallows
,
Endive
,
Beets
,
and
Lettuce
,
of
each
one
handfull
,
of
the
root
of
Marsh-Mallows
an
ounce
,
of
the
flowers
of
water-Lillies
,
and
the
tops
of
Dill
,
of
each
halfe
a
handfull
,
let
them
be
boiled
in
a
sufficient
quantity
of
Barley-water
;
then
streined
out
to
a
pint
of
this
decoction
,
dissolve
Cassia
newly
drawne
,
Sirrup
of
Violets
,
Diaprunum
Lenitive
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
browne
Sugar
one
ounce
,
and
make
a
Clyster
.
You
must
,
soone
after
the
Patient
hath
had
a
stoole
,
open
the
Cephalick
or
Head-Veine
,
but
if
blood
do
abound
,
open
the
Basilick
or
Liver-veine
,
or
the
middle
Veine
first
,
and
after
a
while
breathe
the
cephalick
Vein
.
If
you
find
that
suppression
of
Menstrues
,
or
the
hemorrhoid
,
hath
been
the
cause
of
the
distemper
,
you
may
first
open
the
Veine
under
the
Ancle
called
Saphaena
,
and
afterwards
open
the
Cephalick
Veine
.
If
the
age
,
and
strength
of
the
Patient
forbid
not
,
you
must
bleed
him
often
in
the
Cephalick
Vein
;
if
the
body
be
weak
open
the
Veine
under
the
Ancle
:
be
sure
not
to
draw
too
much
blood
at
once
,
least
the
sick
faint
.
If
you
feare
blood-letting
,
by
reason
of
age
,
want
of
streangth
,
or
a
bad
season
,
use
cupping
with
scarification
,
behind
the
neck
upon
the
back
bone
.
It
is
good
also
to
use
Frictions
,
and
Ligatures
upon
the
legs
,
and
to
draw
blisters
upon
the
Armes
and
Shoulders
.
After
Phlebotomy
,
you
must
apply
medicines
that
do
coole
the
Braine
,
and
repell
,
and
hinder
the
humours
from
ascending
to
the
head
:
as
Oyle
of
Roses
two
ounces
,
Rose
Vinegar
one
ounce
,
the
water
of
Plantane
,
and
Lettuce
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
with
the
whites
of
two
Eggs
,
mingle
them
together
,
and
apply
it
,
to
the
forehead
with
a
double
cloath
.
If
that
prove
not
essicacious
,
take
oyle
of
Mandrakes
,
Roses
,
Violets
,
and
water
Lillyes
of
each
two
drachms
;
the
juice
of
Lettuce
and
Puโslane
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
,
the
whites
of
two
eggs
,
mingle
and
apply
it
.
But
here
let
me
advise
people
;
to
be
very
wary
and
carefull
in
the
applying
of
these
medicines
;
by
no
mโanes
apply
cooling
medicines
in
the
extremity
of
the
fit
;
nor
refrigerate
and
stupsie
the
Braine
too
sodainly
;
lest
by
overmuch
cooling
you
turn
the
Frensie
into
a
Lethargy
,
and
make
your
Patient
sleep
his
last
.
Likewise
consider
from
the
Symptomes
of
the
disease
,
to
what
part
of
the
head
,
to
apply
your
medicine
,
having
consideration
to
the
age
of
your
patient
,
and
season
of
the
yeare
,
your
Wit
will
informe
you
,
whether
you
are
best
to
apply
it
warm
or
cold
.
If
you
find
the
inflammation
extend
it selfe
to
the
skin
,
and
exterior
parts
,
use
no
repelling
medicines
,
for
feare
you
drive
the
distemper
to
the
Braine
.
It
is
convenient
likewise
to
refrigerate
the
interior
parts
,
thus
;
take
of
the
syrups
of
Violet
,
erratick
Poppys
,
and
Pomegranates
,
of
each
four
drachms
:
the
distilled
waters
of
Plant
,
Lettuce
,
Poppy
,
and
Purslane
of
each
two
ounces
,
mix
them
and
make
a
julep
,
for
three
doses
.
This
electuary
is
good
in
this
case
:
Conserve
of
Roses
and
Violets
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
the
conserve
of
Clove-Gilliflowers
,
and
water
Lillys
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
;
Diamargatiton
frigidum
,
halfe
a
drachme
,
with
Syrup
of
Violets
:
make
it
into
an
electuary
,
give
the
sick
the
quantity
of
a
Nutmeg
,
once
in
an
houre
,
two
,
or
three
as
necessity
shall
require
.
Having
thus
prepared
the
humours
,
you
may
evacuate
them
by
purgations
,
but
it
is
convenient
to
use
the
most
gentle
purgers
;
you
may
safely
administer
an
ounce
of
Catholicon
in
the
evening
;
drink
somwhat
warme
in
the
morning
,
it
is
a
fine
cooling
and
gentle
purge
.
Or
you
may
make
a
decoction
of
some
cooling
hearbs
,
and
in
halfe
a
pint
of
the
liquor
warme
,
infuse
therein
a
drachme
of
Rubarb
12.
hours
;
dissolve
therein
halfe
an
ounce
of
Catholicon
,
and
two
drachms
of
syrup
of
Roses
,
and
make
a
potion
.
Let
his
drink
be
Barly
water
,
and
mingle
with
it
,
the
syrup
of
Pomegranats
,
Lemons
or
Barberies
.
By
this
you
may
know
how
to
cure
not
onely
Frensies
,
but
all
ravings
and
watchings
which
are
ingendred
by
Feavers
.
CHAP.
IV.
Of
Madnesse
.
THe
Latines
call
this
disease
Insania
,
and
Furor
,
and
the
Greeks
Mania
,
we
call
it
Madnesse
,
In
this
distemper
the
body
is
much
out
of
order
,
and
the
Spirits
much
disquieted
:
It
cometh
without
a
Feavour
,
and
therein
it
differeth
from
the
Frensie
.
This
disease
is
caused
,
somtimes
of
the
abundance
of
blood
flowing
up
to
the
Braine
:
Somtimes
of
hot
and
cholerick
humours
,
or
of
a
hot
distemper
of
the
Braine
.
The
Symptomes
of
Madnesse
,
are
,
weaknesse
of
the
Head
,
tickling
of
the
Eares
,
and
shinings
before
their
eyes
,
watchings
,
strange
thoughts
,
and
ravenous
appetite
:
If
it
proceed
from
the
abundance
of
blood
,
there
followeth
continuall
laughing
,
objects
of
laughter
evermore
appearing
before
the
eyes
.
When
it
proceedeth
from
both
blood
and
choler
,
it
causeth
a
dashing
and
fervent
motion
in
the
braine
,
which
maketh
the
sick
irefull
,
full
of
motion
,
and
bold
.
But
if
the
choler
wax
grosse
,
the
sick
is
more
mad
,
and
harder
to
cure
.
There
is
another
sort
of
Madness
,
caused
by
melancholy
occupying
the
mind
and
changing
the
temperature
of
it
:
Somtimes
the
blood
is
generally
corrupted
by
melancholy
,
and
the
brain
hurt
thereby
.
Somtimes
melanchollyblood
ascendeth
to
the
braine
,
when
the
blood
is
not
generally
corrupted
.
Somtimes
inflammations
,
obstructions
and
evill
effects
of
the
Stomach
and
Spleen
may
be
the
cause
thereof
.
There
are
many
Signes
of
this
distemper
,
they
which
are
most
common
are
these
;
fearfullnesse
,
sadnesse
,
hatred
,
and
very
strange
imaginations
:
Some
have
fancyed
themselves
beasts
,
and
have
counterfeited
the
voice
of
Beasts
:
others
,
earthen-pots
,
and
have
fled
from
company
for
feare
of
being
broken
:
Somtimes
they
desire
death
,
and
to
make
away
themselves
;
Somtimes
they
much
dread
death
.
Some
think
themselves
inspired
with
the
holy
Spirit
,
and
do
Prophesie
;
others
fancy
themselves
great
Philosophers
.
If
the
blood
be
generally
corrupted
,
the
body
is
leane
,
pale
,
and
rough
,
and
generally
melancholly
.
They
,
whose
distemper
arise
from
defects
of
the
stomach
or
Spleen
:
have
burnings
,
grevious
inflammations
,
and
plucking
of
the
sides
,
are
subject
to
be
costive
;
troubled
with
wind
fuming
to
the
head
,
causing
lightnesse
and
troublesome
dreames
.
For
the
cure
:
If
blood
abound
(
after
the
administring
of
a
Clyster
)
you
must
come
to
blood-letting
:
You
may
open
the
Cephalick
;
if
that
appeare
not
,
the
middle
veine
:
draw
as
much
blood
as
the
strength
of
the
Patient
will
beare
:
you
may
,
as
you
find
occasion
,
open
the
veine
in
the
forehead
,
if
it
appeare
:
if
the
sick
be
a
woman
open
the
veine
under
the
Ancle
,
you
may
also
bleed
the
Hemorrhoid-veines
.
I
beseech
you
,
not
only
here
,
but
in
all
other
distempers
,
to
be
very
carefull
,
and
sparing
of
your
Patients
blood
;
draw
not
too
much
at
a
time
lest
you
weaken
nature
too
much
:
in
this
case
it
is
best
often
to
bleed
,
and
in
the
mean
time
,
keep
the
body
soluble
,
either
by
Clysters
,
made
as
the
former
Chapter
will
direct
you
,
or
other
convenient
purges
,
viz:
Take
black
Hellebore
sliced
small
,
one
ounce
;
infuse
it
three
days
in
a
quarter
of
a
pint
of
raine-water
:
then
boile
it
gently
to
the
consumption
of
the
third
part
,
(
keeping
it
close
covered
)
streine
it
out
and
add
to
the
liquor
,
two
ounces
of
clarified
honey
:
let
the
sick
drink
halfe
an
ounce
(
in
the
morning
)
in
a
little
broath
or
posset-drink
,
for
severall
dayes
together
:
increase
or
decrease
the
dose
according
to
the
strength
or
debility
of
your
patient
.
Or
take
of
the
extract
of
black
Hellebore
halfe
a
scruple
,
Syrrup
of
Violets
,
one
ounce
;
mix
it
for
one
dose
.
If
the
body
require
a

.
You
must
likewise
apply
repelling
and
discussing
medicines
to
the
head
;
the
Chapter
of
the
Frensie
will
furnish
you
with
such
medicines
.
But
if
the
Cholerick
,
and
melancholly
humors
in
the
Braine
,
are
grosse
and
hard
to
be
removed
,
prepare
a
fomentation
in
this
manner
.
Talte
a
sufficient
quantity
of
Cephalick
herrbs
,
viz:
Betony
,
Penny-royall
,
Rosemary
,
Lettice
,
Plantane
.
Willow-leaves
,
Housleek
,
Strawberry-leaves
;
Violet-leaves
,
Fumitory
,
Water-Lillys
(
or
their
Flowers
)
Staechas
,
Poppys
,
boile
them
in
a
sufficient
quantity
of
Fountaine
water
:
then
take
of
Bay-berries
,
and
the
root
of
black
Hellebore
,
a
sufficient
quantity
,
crosly
bruise
them
,
and
sow
them
(
with
some
of
the
softest
of
the
hearbs
)
into
a
long
bagg
,
boil
the
bagg
a
little
in
the
aforesaid
decoction
;
bathe
the
head
(
being
shaved
)
with
the
decoction
,
an
houre
,
as
hot
as
may
well
be
indured
,
with
double
cloathes
:
then
bind
the
bagg
to
the
crowne
of
the
head
with
hot
clothes
,
let
the
patient
lye
in
his
bed
and
sleep
if
he
can
,
this
will
wonderfully
expell
the
humours
,
through
the
Emunctories
of
the
head
,
for
it
wonderfully
discusseth
the
fuliginous
matter
,
gathered
in
the
head
,
which
other
remedies
can
scarcely
performe
.
This
you
may
do
for
nine
dayes
together
if
you
see
occasion
;
but
be
sure
to
keep
the
head
warme
afterward
.
If
you
find
that
obstruction
or
inflammation
of
the
Spleen
,
or
defects
of
the
Stomach
be
the
cause
of
the
distemper
,
you
must
administer
inward
and
outward
medicines
,
to
open
the
obstruction
,
and
allay
the
inflammation
;
for
such
medicines
,
I
referr
you
to
those
Chapters
,
where
I
shall
treat
of
the
distempers
of
those
parts
.
CHAP.
V.
Of
the
Apoplexy
,
Lethargy
,
and
Sleepy-disease
.
THe
Apoplexy
is
a
depriving
of
sense
&
motion
throughout
the
whole
body
,
coming
suddenly
without
let
or
hurt
of
all
voluntary
functions
.
Causes
.
It
is
caused
of
humours
cold
,
grosse
and
tough
,
which
fill
up
and
obstruct
the
Ventricles
of
the
braine
;
which
are
engendred
by
overmuch
crudities
:
drunkennesse
is
oftentimes
the
cause
:
Somtimes
a
blow
or
fall
causing
humours
to
flow
thither
is
the
cause
:
Somtimes
of
a
grosse
melancholly
humour
:
Or
,
the
excrements
and
humidity
of
the
braine
,
are
congealed
and
thickned
by
the
coldnesse
of
the
aire
.
Signes
.
The
Symptomes
or
forerunners
of
this
disease
are
violent
and
sharp
paines
of
the
head
,
the
Vertigo
,
the
swelling
of
the
Veins
of
the
neck
,
a
slownesse
to
move
,
the
extreame
parts
of
the
body
,
cold
.
When
the
disease
cometh
to
its
height
,
the
breathing
is
so
diminished
,
that
it
cannot
be
perceived
,
and
that
is
a
very
evill
signe
;
or
else
it
is
holden
for
a
while
,
and
then
fetcht
with
great
violence
:
so
much
the
more
it
differeth
from
the
naturall
course
,
so
much
stronger
is
the
disease
.
Hippocrates
in
his
Aphorismes
saith
,
that
it
is
impossible
to
cure
a
strong
Apoplexy
,
and
not
easie
to
cure
a
weak
one
.
The
Lethargy
is
likewise
an
inexpugnable
desire
of
sleeping
,
&
sluggishness
;
Its
name
in
the
Greek
,
viz.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
:
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
signifieth
forgetfulness
,
and
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
dull
,
viz.
dul
oblivion
.
The
cause
is
the
same
with
the
former
in
quality
:
they
differ
only
in
this
,
that
the
Lethargy
is
accompanied
with
a
Feaver
and
raving
:
the
Pulse
is
great
and
striketh
seldom
,
and
as
if
they
were
full
of
water
:
they
fetch
their
breath
weakly
,
alwaies
sleepy
,
and
can
scarcely
be
compelled
to
awake
.
If
you
call
them
very
loud
,
they
will
sometimes
open
their
eys
,
but
soon
shut
them
again
:
they
gasp
and
gape
,
and
sometimes
forget
to
shut
their
mouths
,
&c.
Coma
is
a
profound
sleep
,
from
which
if
he
be
roused
,
he
will
answer
to
any
Question
,
but
soon
fall
asleep
again
:
sometimes
the
sick
watcheth
much
,
yet
cannot
hold
open
his
eyes
,
but
is
very
desirous
to
sleep
.
Carus
is
also
a
sleepy
disease
,
and
differeth
from
the
rest
;
it
differeth
from
Coma
and
the
Lethargy
,
because
they
that
have
Carus
lye
in
a
dead
sleep
,
call
them
,
pull
them
,
and
prick
them
,
they
will
not
answer
.
Again
,
for
the
most
part
a
violent
Feaver
goeth
before
Carus
:
in
the
Lethargy
it
followeth
;
it
differeth
from
the
Apoplexy
,
in
it
the
breath
is
very
streight
,
that
the
sick
can
scarcely
breath
at
all
,
but
in
Carus
the
sick
hath
his
breath
at
liberty
.
The
Cure
.
They
who
are
afflicted
with
either
of
these
Diseases
,
are
in
much
danger
,
and
have
need
of
the
speedy
help
of
an
able
Physician
,
who
must
without
delay
use
his
best
endeavours
.
First
let
him
endeavour
to
awake
his
Patient
out
of
this
dead
sleep
,
by
presenting
forcible
objects
to
every
sense
:
Let
him
place
him
so
,
that
the
Sun
beams
,
or
some
clear
light
,
may
shine
upon
his
face
:
Let
him
fill
his
ears
with
noise
,
clamours
,
and
sounds
,
and
call
him
by
his
name
with
a
loud
voice
,
put
up
into
his
nose
things
that
are
sharp
,
as
Rue
,
Castoreum
,
and
Vinegar
:
do
the
like
to
his
mouth
.
Likewise
you
must
provoke
the
sense
of
feeling
by
frictions
,
pulling
of
the
hair
,
pulling
out
and
solding
the
fingers
,
and
all
other
parts
,
binding
,
&c.
You
must
provoke
the
body
to
stool
by
sharp
Clysters
,
thus
;
Take
of
Sage
,
Betony
,
Rue
,
Centory
,
of
each
one
handfull
:
Camomel
,
Calamint
,
and
Penny-royall
,
of
each
half
a
handful
:
the
seeds
of
Cummin
,
sweet
Fennel
,
and
Dill
,
of
each
three
drachms
:
the
roots
of
Polypody
,
six
drachms
:
Agarick
,
three
drachms
:
pulp
of
Coliquintida
,
one
drachin
;
boyl
them
in
a
convenient
quantity
of
water
,
untill
half
be
consumed
;
to
a
pint
of
the
decoction
,
adde
the
oyls
of
Lillies
and
Rue
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
Hiera
Picra
,
Benedicta
Laxativa
,
and
Diaphaenicon
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
Honey
of
Roses
,
an
ounce
:
Salt
,
a
drachm
:
mix
them
and
make
a
Clyster
.
If
your
Patient
be
young
,
strong
,
and
full
of
hot
humors
,
and
blood
,
you
must
soon
after
the
operation
of
the
Clyster
,
open
a
vein
in
one
Arm
,
let
him
not
bleed
too
much
at
once
,
lest
his
strength
fail
;
in
a
few
hours
space
open
a
vein
in
the
other
Arm
:
for
by
that
means
the
disease
will
be
the
more
abated
,
and
the
strength
the
more
preserved
.
After
the
first
vein
opened
,
if
you
perceive
his
countenance
more
lively
,
his
pulse
beat
more
orderly
and
his
breath
fetcht
with
more
ease
,
it
is
a
good
sign
,
and
a
good
encouragement
to
open
another
vein
:
Make
the
Orifice
wide
,
or
else
the
grosseft
blood
will
lye
behind
.
Where
you
see
the
body
abound
with
blood
,
draw
blood
liberally
:
if
not
,
draw
blood
sparingly
.
After
letting
blood
,
if
you
see
hopes
of
your
Patients
recovery
,
within
a
few
hours
,
you
must
administer
some
purgation
,
the
time
of
the
day
matters
not
:
one
ounce
of
Elect.
Diacarthamum
,
half
a
scruple
of
Castor
,
dissolved
in
Betony
water
:
you
may
in
this
case
make
use
of
Pillulae
Cochiae
,
the
greater
,
or
the
lesse
:
or
Pillulae
de
Agarico
,
(
pills
of
Agarick
.
)
But
in
the
Lethargy
(
by
reason
it
is
accompanied
with
a
Feaver
)
you
ought
to
administer
more
gentle
purgations
,
as
Pillulae
Hiera
cum
Agarico
,
(
I
shall
lay
down
some
generall
Rules
for
purging
,
in
the
next
Book
,
)
which
serve
to
divert
the
humours
,
flowing
to
the
Head
.
But
the
humours
there
fixed
,
must
be
purged
with
Scammony
,
one
Scruple
:
Castor
,
two
scruples
:
administred
in
Oximel
,
which
hath
been
proved
with
good
successe
.
If
hitherto
your
Medicines
prove
unsuccessful
,
you
must
venter
to
administer
stronger
,
not
fearing
the
danger
or
strength
of
your
Medicine
,
seeing
without
it
,
nothing
can
be
expected
.
You
may
use
such
Medicines
as
are
extracted
out
of
Antimony
,
or
those
lesse
violent
,
as
is
the
infusion
of
Crocus
Mettallorum
:
or
two
drachms
of
the
Tincture
of
Tobacco
,
extracted
with
the
Spirit
of
Wine
,
doth
powerfully
evacuate
upwards
and
downwards
,
both
cholerick
and
flegmatick
humours
,
and
cleanseth
not
only
the
Stomach
and
Bowels
,
but
the
Brain
also
.
Also
Frictions
and
Ligatures
on
the
extream
parts
are
necessary
,
that
the
vapours
do
not
ascend
to
the
Head
.
You
may
fasten
Cupping
glasses
to
the
Shoulders
,
Arms
,
and
Thighs
,
with
scarification
,
if
you
have
not
let
your
Patient
blood
,
otherwise
without
:
forget
not
the
often
administration
of
Clisters
,
or
instead
thereof
,
you
may
use
Suppositories
,
made
thus
.
Take
two
ounces
of
Honey
boiled
to
a
due
thicknesse
,
of
Hiera
Piera
,
two
drachms
;
Coloquintida
,
Agarick
,
and
Scammony
,
of
each
two
seruples
:
Salt
gemme
,
one
drachm
:
make
them
into
fine
powder
,
and
mix
them
with
the
Honey
,
and
make
Suppositories
as
long
as
you
think
good
.
You
may
apply
things
to
their
Noses
,
which
have
a
property
to
awaken
them
,
as
Vinegar
,
Castoreum
,
Galbanum
,
Sulphur
,
Goats-horn
,
or
Harts-horn
burnt
,
and
holden
to
the
Nose
:
A
fume
made
with
white
Amber
,
is
of
excellent
vertue
in
the
Apoplexy
;
You
must
pull
them
by
the
hair
,
and
prick
their
Legs
,
or
rub
them
with
Salt
and
Vinegar
:
You
must
annoint
the
Palare
of
the
Mouth
with
strong
and
sharp
Medicines
,
as
Mithridate
,
Mustard
,
powder
of
Masterwort
:
and
rub
the
bottoms
of
the
Feet
with
Salt
and
Vinegar
,
and
the
Palms
of
the
Hands
with
the
Oyls
of
Rue
,
and
Castor
.
If
the
disease
be
of
long
continuance
,
provoke
sneezing
,
with
those
Powders
prescribed
in
the
second
Chapter
:
to
which
you
may
adde
Rue
and
Castor
.
You
may
apply
resolving
Medicines
,
but
first
you
must
make
them
thus
:
Take
the
leaves
of
Betony
,
Sage
,
and
Rosemary
,
of
each
one
handful
;
the
tops
of
Lavender
,
and
Marjerom
,
Rue
,
and
Savoury
,
of
each
half
a
handful
;
the
roots
of
Angelica
,
Masterwort
,
and
Setwall
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
Bayberries
,
and
Juniper
berries
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
boyl
them
in
a
sufficient
quantity
of
Vinegar
,
and
with
a
Spunge
or
cloth
dipped
in
the
decoction
,
bathe
the
Head
of
the
sick
.
If
the
Disease
yield
not
to
these
Medicines
,
you
may
fasten
Cupping
gโasses
,
to
the
upper
part
of
the
Neck
,
about
the
first
or
second
joynt
:
Some
use
to
draw
Blisters
there
,
and
with
good
successe
.
Many
precious
Medicines
,
against
this
distemper
,
have
been
left
to
posterity
;
I
shall
(
omitting
many
)
insert
this
one
,
viz.
Take
of
the
root
of
Peony
,
and
Misleto
of
the
Oake
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
Calamus
,
Aromaticus
,
Galanga
,
Cyperus
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
of
Betony
,
Sage
,
Marjerom
,
of
each
one
handful
;
the
seeds
of
Peony
,
Annis
,
Fennel
,
and
Carraway
,
of
each
three
drachms
;
the
flowers
of
Lavender
,
Stechas
,
and
Rosemary
,
of
each
half
a
handful
;
of
Nutmegs
,
Mace
,
Cubebs
,
Cloves
,
Grains
of
Paradice
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
Cinamon
,
two
ounces
:
Saffron
,
half
a
drachm
:
of
Species
Diambrae
,
and
Diamoshi
,
of
each
two
drams
.
Let
all
these
ingredients
be
shredd
and
bruised
,
and
put
into
a
glasse
Limbeck
;
powre
on
them
of
the
best
rectified
Spirit
of
Wine
,
enough
to
cover
them
,
the
breadth
of
three
fingers
;
digest
them
in
a
Bathe
eight
daies
,
afterward
distill
it
,
and
upon
occasion
administer
a
drachm
,
or
half
a
drachm
,
in
some
other
convenient
liquor
.
In
like
manner
may
the
Spirit
of
Castor
be
administred
in
Oximel
,
and
't
is
a
good
Medicine
against
these
Diseases
.
Moreover
,
be
very
careful
that
you
wel
understand
the
nature
of
the
humor
offending
,
as
if
blood
offend
,
use
not
too
many
refrigerating
Medicines
,
and
bleed
the
more
;
I
need
say
no
more
,
Verbum
sapientibus
,
&c.
If
after
so
many
Evacuations
,
the
Brain
become
too
cold
,
and
much
weakened
,
you
may
strengthen
it
with
Lozenges
made
thus
,
or
after
this
manner
;
Take
of
the
distilled
oyls
of
Annis
,
Cinamon
,
and
Nutmegs
,
of
each
three
drops
:
oyl
of
Cloves
,
one
drop
:
Amber-grease
,
half
a
scruple
:
with
four
ounces
of
Sugar
,
dissolved
in
Betony
water
,
make
Lozenges
,
take
a
drachm
in
a
morning
.
Likewise
you
may
make
Pills
to
strengthen
the
Head
in
this
manner
:
Take
of
the
Species
Cordiales
temperatae
,
and
Aromaticum
Rosatum
,
of
each
two
drachms
;
Mastick
,
Nutmegs
,
and
Cloves
,
of
each
one
scruple
;
Ambergrease
,
half
a
scruple
:
and
Musk
three
grains
;
make
it
into
a
Masse
for
Pills
with
the
juyce
of
Marjerom
,
and
take
a
scruple
to
bedward
,
once
or
twice
a
week
:
or
you
may
take
half
a
drachm
of
the
powder
,
called
Diarrhadon
Abatis
,
night
or
morning
.
If
any
fear
the
return
of
this
Disease
again
after
cure
:
or
any
(
by
the
aforegoing
Symptoms
)
fear
its
growth
upon
them
;
let
them
carefully
consider
the
humour
offending
:
if
blood
abound
,
lessen
it
by
opening
a
vein
;
if
Choler
,
flegm
,
or
melancholy
,
by
purgation
;
How
you
may
know
which
humour
offendeth
,
or
by
what
it
may
be
purged
,
this
Treatise
(
if
you
have
any
ingenuity
)
will

CHAP.
VI
Of
the
Vertigo
,
and
Falling-sickness
.
THe
Vertigo
is
a
Disease
which
maketh
a
man
think
every
thing
turneth
round
,
and
suddainly
his
sight
faileth
him
,
all
things
appear
misty
and
dark
.
This
disease
is
caused
through
inordinate
moving
of
windy
vapours
,
and
Spirits
contained
in
the
Brain
,
or
in
the
Mouth
of
the
Stomach
offending
the
Brain
.
The
Sign
.
Those
that
are
thus
troubled
,
a
darknesse
and
mist
appears
before
their
eys
,
upon
every
light
occasion
,
especially
if
they
turn
about
.
It
astonisheth
him
to
see
a
man
,
a
wheele
,
or
any
thing
,
turn
round
.
When
it
is
accompanied
with
sound
,
and
noise
in
the
ears
,
and
vehement
pain
in
the
Head
,
with
much
heavinesse
;
the
deprivation
,
or
debility
of
any
of
the
senses
:
these
are
infallible
testimonies
that
the
cause
of
the
distemper
lyeth
in
the
Brain
:
then
is
the
fit
worst
,
when
the
head
is
heat
by
the
Sโn
,
or
any
other
means
.
If
gnawing
of
the
stomach
,
or
a
disposition
to
vomit
,
precede
the
fit
,
then
the
disease
proceedeth
from
the
mouth
of
the
Stomach
.
This
Disease
is
oftentimes
a
Prodormus
or
forerunner
of
the
Epilepsie
or
Falling-sicknesse
,
and
sometimes
of
the
Apoplexie
.
The
Epilepsy
is
a
Writhing
,
Cramp
,
and
Convulsion
of
all
the
parts
of
the
Body
;
it
attacheth
and
much
hurteth
the
sense
and
mind
.
Sometimes
it
is
caused
through
grosse
and
clammy
flegm
,
or
choler
,
stopping
the
passage
of
the
Ventricles
of
the
Brain
:
and
sometimes
from
the
mouth
of
the
Stomack
,
as
in
the
Vertigo
.
There
goeth
before
this
Disease
an
evil
state
of
the
body
and
mind
,
sadnesse
,
forgetfulnesse
,
troublesome
dreams
,
ach
of
the
Head
,
and
continual
fullnesse
of
the
same
,
palenesse
of
the
Face
,
and
inordinate
moving
of
the
Tongue
.
The
Sign
.
They
,
who
are
afflicted
with
this
Disease
,
fall
down
,
are
plucked
up
together
,
they
tremble
and
turn
about
,
snort
,
cry
out
,
beat
themselves
,
and
foam
at
the
Mouth
.
The
Cure
.
It
is
good
for
those
that
are
thus
afflicted
,
to
eschue
all
meats
of
a
hard
digesture
,
and
such
as
afford
a
crude
nourishment
,
or
breed
fumosities
;
observe
the
same
in
all
Diseases
of
the
Head
.
In
the
beginning
of
the
cure
,
make
the
body
soluble
by
Clysters
if
need
be
.
If
plentitude
appear
,
and
the
sick
be
of
a
sanguine
complexion
,
begin
the
cure
with
blood
letting
:
otherwise
observe
the
same
order
,
before
prescribed
in
the
Cephalaea
,
or
Headach
,
proceeding
of
grosse
and
phlegmatick
humours
;
this
remembring
,
to
adde
to
the
Medicines
there
described
,
the
roots
and
seeds
of
Peony
,
and
Misleto
of
the
Oake
,
which
have
a
notable
faculty
in
the
cure
of
the
Falling-sicknesse
,
as
experience
teacheth
.
Make
use
of
the
sudorifick
drink
,
there
described
,
thirty
or
fourty
days
,
adding
to
every
dose
,
three
or
four
drops
of
Vitriol
;
You
must
purge
the
sick
with
Pillulae
Cochiae
,
Pillulae
cum
Agarico
,
or
such
as
purge
flegm
,
but
remember
to
regulate
your
purges
,
according
to
the
strength
of
the
sick
;
and
to
prepare
the
body
with
Medicines
,
which
do
attenuate
and
cut
grosse
and
thick
humours
:
as
be
the
syrups
of
Wormwood
,
Hysop
,
Stechas
,
or
Oximel
scilliticum
:
or
with
the
decoction
of
Hysop
,
the
roots
of
Peony
,
or
such
like
.
Stibium
is
of
great
force
,
and
doth
mightily
purge
the
superfluous
humours
of
the
Head
;
you
must
use
it
thus
,
take
12
grains
,
and
make
it
into
fine
powder
;
put
it
into
four
ounces
of
Wine
,
and
there
let
it
remain
24
,
hours
,
shaking
it
every
three
or
four
hours
;
then
powre
off
the
Wine
,
leaving
the
powder
,
and
drink
it
with
a
little
Sugar
:
let
none
use
this
Medicine
but
such
as
have
strong
Bodies
,
and
be
first
well
advised
by
a
skilful
Physitian
.
The
syrup
of
Tobacco
,
mentioned
by
Quercetanus
in
his
Pharmacopaeia
,
is
of
great
force
and
virtue
against
this
disease
;
but
before
you
make
use
thereof
,
be
well
advised
,
as
I
said
before
.
After
the
Body
hath
been
diligently
,
and
carefully
purged
,
it
is
meet
you
make
use
of
this
,
or
such
like
Medicines
,

For

say

refer
you
to
those
Medicines
propounded
for
the
Cure
of
the
Falling-sicknesse
;
and
to
the
2.
Chapter
,
viz.
Of
the
cure
of
Cephalaea
,
proceeding
from
cold
,
crude
and
phlegmatick
humours
;
it
being
my
present
task
,
only
to
epitomize
,
not
to
write
largely
of
the
cure
of
Diseases
.
CHAP.
VII
.
Of
the
Palsie
.
PAralysis
,
or
the
Palsie
,
is
a
disease
,
wherein
the
whole
Body
,
or
part
thereof
(
as
Atm
,
Hand
,
Leg
,
or
Tongue
,
)
doth
lose
sense
or
motion
,
or
both
:
Sometimes
it
followeth
the
Apoplexy
.
Here
note
,
that
the
Faculty
of
sense
and
motion
,
floweth
from
the
Brain
,
as
from
its
proper
fountain
,
and
is
conveyed
to
all
parts
of
the
Body
,
by
the
Sinews
the
proper
Organs
of
sense
and
motion
.
Hence
it
commeth
to
passe
,
that
if
that
faculty
of
the
Brain
be
obstructed
,
that
it
cannot
descend
to
all
parts
,
that
all
,
or
some
of
the
ใโใ
of
the
Body
,
lose
either
motion
,
or
sense
,
or
bโโฆ
,
according
to
the
part
obstructed
.
The
Causes
.
The
Palsie
is
caused
by
abundance
of
grosse
and
clammy
humours
,
which
stop
the
sinews
,
and
hinder
the
animal
faculty
,
that
it
cannot
come
from
the
Brain
or
fountain
to
the
members
.
It
may
be
caused
by
vehement
cold
,
or
by
some
inflammation
or
swelling
near
the
Back-bone
:
or
the
sinews
may
be
crushed
by
some
binding
,
or
hurt
by
some
wound
,
or
Ulcer
,
or
the
like
.
The
Signs
,
and
Cure
.
There
need
no
more
Signs
to
know
this
disease
by
,
than
what
hath
been
declared
in
the
explanation
of
it
.
This
disease
for
the
most
part
happeneth
to
old
folk
,
and
surprizeth
them
in
the
Winter
time
;
therefore
Phlebotomy
for
the
most
part
is
unnecessary
,
and
dangerous
.
If
plenitude
of
humours
or
blood
appear
,
open
a
vein
,
on
the
sound
side
,
draw
blood
sparingly
,
lest
you
cool
the
Body
too
much
.
Let
what
part
soever
of
the
Body
be
affected
,
yet
you
must
not
forget
the
Brain
,
but
you
must
purge
,
corroborate
,
and
strengthen
it
.
If
you
find
the
originall
of
the
distemper
in
the
Brain
,
you
must
apply
Medicines
,
which
have
power
to
extenuate
,
dissolve
,
and
discusse
;
such
as
are
described
in
the
second
Chapter
,
for
the
cure
of
cold
and
phlegmatick
distempers
of
the
Head
.
To
the
purging
Medicines
you
may
add
these
,
Pillulae
Fatidae
,
de
opopanace
,
Arabicae
,
and
Trochisci
Alhandall
,
taken
in
a
convenient
quantity
(
as
you
shall
be
instructed
in
the
next
Book
)
and
sutable
to
the
season
of
the
year
,
and
aโโฆโf
your
Patient
.
Let
him
abstain
from
drinking
โf
strong
beer
,
and
Wine
;
and
let
most
of
his
drink
be
the
decoction
of
Guiacum
,
and
the
bark
of
the
same
;
and
if
you
add
Cephalick
hearbs
to
these
,
it
will
be
the
better
.
This
Decoction
is
commendable
,
viz.
Take
of

,
of
each

:
Cinamons
,
and
Polipodium
of
the
Oake
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
Infuse
them
in
six
quarts
of
water
twenty
four
hours
:
then
boil
it
gently
to
the
consumption
of
two
quarts
,
strein
it
,
and
add
to
the
decoction
of
brown
Sugar
,
candy
,
and
syrup
of
Stechas
,
of
each
four
ounces
.
Let
the
diseased
take
half
a
pint
in
a
morning
,
three
or
four
mornings
,
as
a
preparative
to
purging
,
you
must
purge
once
in
a
week
,
with
one
of
the
aforenamed
Medicines
;
having
respect
to
the
age
and
strength
of
your
Patient
,
&
season
of
the
year
.
Or
you
may
prepare
the
aforesaid
water
by
distillation
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
simples
aforenamed
,
and
infuse
them
24
hours
in
four
quarts
of
water
,
and
two
of
White-wine
:
then
distill
them
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
(
as
you
shall
be
taught
in
the
fourth
part
of
this
Treatise
)
to
a
pound
of
this
distilled
water
,
add
one
ounce
of
the
syrup
of
Staethas
,
and
a
drachm
of
Theriaca
diatessaron
,
divide
it
into
three
parts
for
three
mornings
.
It
is
convenient
to
set
Cupping
glasses
to
the
part
affected
,
without
scarifying
of
it
,
but
easily
drawing
the
humours
and
spirits
to
the
place
:
afterwards
you
must
rub
and
chafe
the
parts
:
it
is
convenient
to
bathe
the
paralytick
part
,
and
cause
it
to
sweat
with
the
decoction
of
Bur
root
,
and
Elder
leaves
:
hot-houses
often
profit
much
;
but
much
better
it
is
,
if
they
can
come
to
natural
baths
,
which
proceed
,
either
from
Nitrous
,
hituminous
,
or
sulphureous
Mines
,
as
the
Bath
of
Bath
.
You
may
safely
Bathe
two
or
three
times
in
a
week
;
and
afterwards
annoint
the
Member
with
some
convenient
Liniment
,
viz.
Take
of
the
Oyls
of
Foxes
,
Castor
,
Earth-worms
,
and
Rue
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
Unguentum
Nervinum
,
and
Martiatum
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
the
distilled
oyl
of
Rosemary
,
one
drachm
;
Oyl
of
Spike
,
six
drops
:
mix
all
these
,
and
make
a
soft
ointment
;
with
which
annoint
the
Back-bone
,
and
the
other
parts
that
are
diseased
;
afterwards
wrap
them
up
warm
with
the
skin
of
a
Fox
,
or
Hare
.
If
the
Palsey
be
caused
by
an
inflammation
,
or
hard
swelling
in
any
part
;
the
cure
of
the
inflammation
,
or
swelling
,
cures
the
Palsie
also
.
If
bruising
of
the
sinews
by
pinching
or
binding
be
the
cause
,
remove
the
bruised
blood
,
and
the
cure
will
ensue
.
If
the
Spondills
of
the
Back
be
out
or
broke
,
and
that
cause
the
Palsie
or
Resolution
;
the
cure
of
the
cause
,
taketh
away
the
effect
.
If
the
Palsey
ensue
a
wound
or
Ulcer
,
in
the
Head
,
Back
,
or
any
particular
Sinew
;
if
the
Sinew
be
curable
,
the
Palsie
ceaseth
.
CHAP.
VIII
.
Of
the
Covulsion
.
SPasmus
,
Cramp
,
or
Convulsion
,
is
a
disease
,
when
the
Sinews
are
drawn
or
plucked
up
against
a
mans
will
.
Of
this
there
are
two
sorts
,
viz.
a
true
Convulsion
,
when
there
is
a
constant
retraction
of
the
Muscles
,
and
the
Limb
remains
unmoveable
:
or
a
convulsive
motion
,
when
the
retraction
is
every
time
new
,
and
the
Members
moved
divers
ways
.
They
differ
likewise
in
their
Causes
,
for
a
true
Convulsion
proceedeth
,
either
from
repletion
,
or
inanition
;
a
convulsive-motion
,
from
irritation
,
or
provocation
.
Again
,
they
are
thus
divided
,
a
true
Convulsion
is
either
total
,
by
which
most
part
of
the
Body
is
contracted
,
or
partiall
,
by
which
one
particular
member
suffereth
contraction
.
The
Universal
Convulsion
is
caused
from
the
Brain
,
when
the
Face
is
plucked
together
as
well
as
the
whole
Body
,
or
from
the
marrow
of
the
Back
,
when
the
Muscles
that
move
the
Head
and
Back
,
are
drawn
together
.
A
particular
Convulsion
is
made
from
the
contraction
of
the
Muscle
of
some
part
,
comming
from
the
hurt
of
that
Nerve
which
is
ordained
for
his
motion
.
The
immediate
Causes
(
as
I
said
before
)
is
repletion
,
or
inanition
;
the
Nerves
being
too
full
of
moisture
,
or
too
dry
,
are
extended
or
contracted
,
and
the
Muscles
into
which
they
are
united
,
are
,
by
that
means
drawn
back
to
their
original
.
The
mediate
Causes
of
a
Convulsion
,
proceeding
from
repletion
,
are
flegm
,
and
waterish
humours
slowing
to
the
Nerves
,
stretching
them
in
breadth
,
must
consequently
make
them
shorter
,
and
sometimes
cause
an
inflammation
.
But
here
in
the
way
lyeth
an
Objection
,
namely
,
why
a
watery
humor
obstructing
the
Nerves
,
and
the
cause
of
the
Palsie
and
Conuvlsion
,
should
sometimes
bring
one
,
and
sometimes
the
other
:
the
humour
offending
,
and
the
parts
affected
,
being
one
and
the
same
.
The
diverse
opinions
,
and
long
disputations
of
writers
,
I
shall
not
here
repeat
;
the
difficulty
of
the
matter
having
distracted
them
into
divers
opinions
.
I
shall
answer
the
objection
briefly
,
and
adhere
to
the
most
able
,
modern
Physicians
,
and
say
they
differ
thus
:
A
Palsie
is
caused
of
a
pure
watery
humour
without
mixture
,
which
softeneth
the
Nerves
,
extends
them
not
:
The
Convulsion
is
caused
of
the
same
humour
,
but
mixed
with
much
wind
,
by
which
the
Nerves
are
stretched
,
and
the
Muscles
contracted
to
their
original
.
It
is
the
opinion
of
all
Physitians
,
that
wind
is
the
cause
of
Convulsions
;
and
experience
teacheth
us
,
that
the
greatest
distentions
are
caused
by
wind
,
as
we
see
in
the
Dropsie
,
Tympanites
,
and
the
Chollick
.
Sometimes
an
inflammation
,
in
or
near
the
original
of
the
Nerves
,
may
cause
a
contraction
of
those
Nervous
parts
;
and
the
cause
of
this
inflammation
is
sometimes
internal
as
a
flux
of
blood
upon
the
part
;
or
external
,
by
a
wound
,
contusion
,
or
bruise
.
The
Causes
of
a
Convulsion
by
emptiness
,
are
all
immoderate
evacuations
whatsoever
,
diseases
,
diet
,
and
Medicines
which
are
hot
and
dry
.
A
convulsive
motion
is
caused
by
humours
,
or
vapours
which
are
full
of
Acrimony
,
or
Malignancy
:
and
it
sometimes
so
happeneth
in
malignant
Feavers
;
and
Diseases
of
choller
occupying
the
Head
,
or
Stomach
.
From
what
hath
been
said
,
it
is
easie
to
know
a
Convulsion
proceeding
from
fulnesse
or
emptinesse
,
or
convulsive
motion
.
A
Convulsion
near
the
Brain
is
dangerous
;
in
the
Muscles
of
the
brest
,
gives
fear
of
suffocation
:
If
it
come
after
bleeding
or
purging
,
it
is
deadly
:
So
is
a
Convulsion
,
following
a
Frensie
.
A
Convulsion
coming
upon
a
Fever
,
shews
malignant
matter
which
ends
in
death
:
but
if
a
Feaver
follow
a
Convulsion
,
it
taketh
away
its
cause
,
The
cure
of
this
disease
is
as
various
as
the
cause
:
The
Convulsion
caused
by
emptinesse
requires
moystening
medicines
,
both
internall
and
externall
:
This
disease
seldome
happening
,
and
almost
(
if
not
altogether
incurable
)
I
shall
say
nothing
of
it
.
A
Convulsion
comming
of
repletion
or
fullnesse
must
be
cured
by
evacuation
of
the
pecant
humours
;
if
you
see
occasion
,
make
use
of
Phlebotomie
,
and
purge
the
humours
with
medicines
agreeable
to
the
age
and
strength
of
your
Patient
:
and
somtimes
with
sharp
Clysters
,
such
as
are
described
in
the
fifth
Chapter
.
If
you
see
it
not
convenient
to
let
blood
,
apply
Cupping-glasses
,
alwaies
above
the
parts
grieved
,
that
so
the
humours
may
be
brought
back
to
their
originall
;
that
is
to
say
,
if
the
Convulsion
or
Cramp
be
in
the
Leggs
,
apply
them
to
the
Buttocks
and
Loines
;
observe
the
same
rule
,
where
ever
it
be
.
The
part
affected
ought
to
be
chafed
with
oyles
and
oyntments
sutable
to
such
a
distemper
,
viz.
the
oyles
of
Rue
,
Camomill
,
Dill
,
Spike
,
the
oyle
of
Foxes
,
&c
:
the
oyntments
of
Marsh-Mallows
,
Martiatum
,
Nervinum
,
to
which
may
be
added
the
Mucilage
of
Briony
,
with
which
you
may
make
convenient
Liniments
to
anoint
the
parts
affected
,
and
the
root
of
the
Nerve
which
comes
to
it
.
Ducks
oโ
Goose-grease
,
prepared
in
manner
following
,
is
much
commended
,
viz.
Take
a
fat
Duck
or
Goose
,
pluck
it
and
draw
it
,
then
fill
it
with
these
things
following
,
viz.
of
Sage
,
Marjerome
,
and
Staechas
,
of
each
one
handfull
;
Gum
Ammoniacum
and
Bdellium
of
each
one
ounce
;
Calamus
Aromaticus
,
Nutmegs
,
Mace
,
and
Cloves
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
beat
them
in
a
Morter
,
moystening
them
with
oyle
of
Earth-wormes
:
after
,
sew
them
into
the
belly
of
a
Goose
or
Duck
,
spit
it
and
roast
it
,
receiving
the
dripping
in
a
pan
,
half
full
of
Vinegar
,
and
anoynt
therewith
.
Or
you
may
make
it
stronger
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
aforesaid
dripping
six
ounces
;
The
Chimicall
oyles
of
wax
,
Nutmegs
,
and
Sage
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
mix
it
and
make
a
Liniment
:
when
you
have
anoynted
the
part
affected
,
cover
it
with
a
hot
sheeps
skin
,
a
Hares
or
Foxes
skin
.
To
put
the
part
affected
into
an
Oxe
or
Sheeps
belly
,
or
any
other
newly
killed
;
or
to
apply
the
Lungs
of
a
Sheep
;
yong
Pidgeons
,
Whelps
or
Chickens
slit
in
the
middle
,
is
much
commended
,
and
hath
been
successefully
proved
.
For
those
that
are
thus
affected
,
it
is
very
good
to
bathe
themselves
in
the
Bath
of
Bath
,
or
such
like
,
proceeding
from
a
sulphureous
Mine
:
If
you
cannot
conveniently
come
to
this
Bath
,
you
must
make
a
Bath
with
thesethings
following
.
Of
Marsh-mallow
roots
and
Lillys
of
each
two
pound
:
Of
the
leaves
of
Penniroyall
,
Lawrell
,
Rue
,
Marjerome
,
St.
Johns
wort
,
Violets
,
Mallows
,
Sage
and
Wormwood
,
of
each
two
handfulls
:
Linseeds
,
and
Fenugreek
,
of
each
one
pound
,
boyle
all
these
in
water
sufficient
to
make
a
bath
,
and
let
the
party
diseased
sit
therein
,
not
too
long
,
but
let
him
come
out
as
soone
as
he
finds
ease
.
If
you
dare
venture
to
be
at
the
cost
,
make
your
bath
,
with
oyle
,
boyling
a
Fox
therein
,
together
with
the
aforesaid
hearbs
,
you
may
purge
the
head
with
sternutations
,
Gargarisms
,
and
such
medicines
as
you
may
find
in
the
second
Chapter
,
for
the
cure
of
a
cold
Phlegmatick
distemper
of
the
braine
:
and
it
is
good
to
foment
the
hinder
part
of
the
head
and
neck
,
with
hot
Aqua
Vitae
.
The
infusion
of
Castor
,
or
the
Spirit
of
the
same
,
the
dose
is
a
drachme
,
or
halfe
a
drachme
,
according
to
the
age
or
strength
of
the
Patient
:
Mathiolus
his
Bezoar
water
,
the
like
dose
:
the
compound
water
of
Peony
:
give
these
mixed
with
other
cooler
medicines
.
The
syrrup
of
Peony
compound
:
Diamoschu
dulce
:
Diacorum
,
diatessaron
,
are
much
commended
for
the
cure
of
this
disease
.
I
might
adde
variety
of
medicines
for
the
cure
of
this
distemper
,
but
what
I
have
said
,
(
I
hope
)
is
sufficient
to
give
light
to
the
ingenious
searching
Spirits
.
CHAP.
IX
.
Of
a
Catarrh
or
Desluxion
.
A
Catarrh
is
a
Desluxion
of
excrementitious
humours
from
the
head
into
the
inferiour
parts
.
The
braine
requiring
much
nourishment
,
must
necessarily
void
much
excrements
,
which
if
they
are
in
quantity
moderate
,
and
naturall
,
they
are
received
into
the
fore-Ventricles
,
and
conveid
to
the
moist
gladules
,
and
spit
out
from
the
Palat
;
If
it
grow
more
plentifull
,
yet
naturall
,
it
is
dispersed
through
the
films
of
the
brain
,
and
sent
forth
by
the
Nostrill
as
well
as
the
Palat.
But
when
the
brain
is
weak
,
and
affected
with
distempers
,
and
receiveth
more
nourishment
then
it
can
concoct
,
it
aboundeth
with
excrements
,
which
by
their
quality
and
quantity
overcome
the
retentive
,
and
provoke
the
expulsive
faculties
,
and
so
evacuate
themselves
by
unusuall
and
improper
wayes
,
to
the
disturbance
of
the
whole
body
.
The
cause
of
this
distemper
proceeds
from
want
of
a
good
concoction
in
the
brain
,
and
this
proceeds
either
from
a
hot
or
cold
distemper
.
A
hot
distemper
doth
attract
more
nourishment
then
nature
can
sufficiently
digest
.
A
cold
distemper
turneth
the
nourishment
,
brought
to
the
brain
,
to
flegme
or
water
.
Cold
,
grosse
,
and
slimy
meats
hinders
a
good
concoction
,
and
windy
meats
send
up
many
vapours
to
the
head
.
Add
to
these
many
externall
causes
,
as
Southerly
winds
,
long
sleepe
upon
a
full
stomach
,
especially
an
idle
life
,
&c.
And
though
this
be
accounted
a
disease
of
the
head
,
yet
the
principall
cause
lyeth
in
the
inferiour
parts
,
in
which
evill
humours
are
collected
,
as
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Mesentery
,
Womb
,
&c.
from
whom
,
not
only
vapours
,
but
even
the
humours
themselves
are
sent
to
the
head
,
and
descend
to
the
inferiour
parts
againe
;
a
hot
distemper
of
the
Bowells
,
like
an
Alembeck
send
continuall
vapours
to
the
head
;
a
cold
distemper
engenders
crude
humours
,
which
are
also
many
times
drawn
up
thither
.
Costivenesse
or
obstructions
in
the
lower
belly
,
which
hinder
the
avoiding
of
excrements
,
they
not
finding
their
ordinary
passage
fly
up
to
the
braine
,
which
,
by
reason
of
its
weaknesse
,
and
loose
and
soft
substance
,
is
forced
to
yeeld
to
the
stronger
parts
disburthening
themselves
upon
it
.
The
Impulsive
causes
are
too
much
heat
or
cold
in
the
braine
:
too
much
heat
doth
extenuate
and
diffโse
the
humours
,
and
this
happeneth
to
the
head
,
heated
by
the
Sun
,
fire
,
covering
,
&c.
Coldnesse
doth
compresse
the
head
,
and
straines
forth
the
humours
therein
contained
,
as
a
spunge
is
squeesed
in
the
hand
.
A
Catarrh
is
caused
by
a
Communication
of
cold
humours
,
to
the
braine
,
from
the
feet
,
conveighed
by
the
chiefest
Nerves
,
which
run
through
the
Marrow
of
the
back
:
The
stoppage
or
closure
of
the
externall
pores
,
when
the
body
requireth
sweat
is
the
cause
of
a
Catarrh
;
hence
it
commeth
to
passe
that
Catarrhs
are
most
frequent
in
Autumne
,
viz.
the
body
being
made
thin
in
the
Summer
,
and
the
pores
open
,
evacuating
excrements
by
sweat
and
insensible
transspiration
:
in
Autmune
the
pores
being
sudainly
stopt
,
by
reason
of
the
contraction
of
sudaine
cold
,
which
causeth
many
vapours
to
fly
to
the
head
.
Many
more
causes
might
be
instanced
,
but
I
fear
I
shall
grow
too
voluminous
,
and
what
I
have
said
is
sufficient
to
stirr
up
ingenious
wits
to
further
discoveries
.
I
shall
add
a
few
words
,
of
the
nature
of
the
parts
receiving
this
Defluxion
,
which
by
reason
of
their
weaknesse
are
forced
to
receive
the
burthen
laid
upon
them
,
by
the
stronger
parts
,
like
the
inferiour
Commons
,
who
are
forced
to
bear
the
heavy
impositions
of
their
insulting
Superiours
.
The
Lungs
is
naturally
weak
by
reason
of
its
softnesse
and
loosenesse
,
which
maketh
the
part
sit
to
receive
Defluxions
;
want
of
naturall
heat
,
caused
by
a
cold
distemper
,
maketh
the
part
unable
to
resist
Defluxions
:
A
wound
or
Ulcer
in
the
part
,
causeth
the
humours
to
flow
thither
,
if
you
take
notice
of
Issues
,
and
Cauteries
,
you
will
scarcely
doubt
of
the
truth
of
it
:
So
doth
any
inflammation
or
unnaturall
heat
in
the
Lungs
;
Consider
of
this
and
you
may
be
able
to
give
a
reason
of
consumptions
of
the
Lungs
,
Pluresies
,
and
spitting
of
bloody
matter
.
The
humours
,
which
cause
a
Catarrh
,
flow
from
the
brain
internally
or
externally
:
internally
,
if
the
humours
fall
upon
the
breast
,
it
is
called
a
Catarrh
or
Defluxion
:
If
upon
Aspera
Arteria
,
it
is
called
Raucedo
or
hoarsnesse
:
If
it
flows
into
the
Nostrills
,
it
causeth
Coryza
,
Ozena
,
or
Polypus
:
If
it
falls
upon
the
Nerves
,
it
produceth
numbnesse
,
Palsy
,
Convulsion
,
trembling
;
if
in
the
Eares
,
deafnesse
;
if
in
the
eyes
,
Inflamation
,
Teares
,
blindnesse
;
if
upon
the
Uvula
or
Palat
it
causeth
a
swelling
,
loofnesse
or
Ulcer
there
:
if
it
fall
into
the
throat
,
the
Quinsie
follows
;
if
on
the
Lungs
,
Inflammation
,
Pleurisie
,
shortnesse
of
breath
,
Cough
,
Consumption
.
If
it
falls
into
the
Stomach
,
vomiting
and
want
of
appetite
ensues
,
if
into
the
bowells
,
Dyarrhea
,
or
Dysentery
:
and
sometimes
it
floweth
into
the
Veins
with
the
blood
and
causeth
a
Feaver
called
Febris
Catarrhalis
,
and
is
the
fore-runner
of
the
joynt
gout
,
and
Erysipelas
.
Sometimes
the
humours
flow
from
the
head
externally
,
without
the
skull
under
the
skin
;
these
humours
fall
into
the
Eyes
,
Teeth
,
Neck
,
and
other
externall
parts
:
therefore
it
is
rightly
conceived
,
by
many
learned
men
,
that
the
greatest
part
of
the
diseases
,
incident
to
the
body
of
man
,
have
their
originall
from
the
head
:
Such
whose
bodys
are
spare
and
slender
,
easily
penetrated
by
heat
or
cold
;
or
such
as
are
grossely
compact
,
and
have
not
free
transpiration
:
Such
who
have
weak
and
cold
braines
,
that
cannot
discusse
,
nor
concoct
the
humours
or
vapours
therein
contained
;
or
those
whose
braines
are
so
hot
as
to
attract
too
many
vapours
;
Such
,
whose
Stomachs
and
Livers
are
contrary
in
quality
,
viz.
one
hot
,
the
other
cold
,
are
men
subject
to
Catarrhs
or
defluxions
.
The
signe
of
this
disease
may
easily
be
gathered
from
the
Causes
,
the
approach
of
this
disease
may
be
discovered
by
the
following
Symptoms
,
viz.
by
heavinesse
of
the
head
,
dullnesse
of
the
senses
,
long
sleep
,
a
snotty
nose
,
much
spitting
,
costivenesse
of
the
body
,
and
much
wind
;
when
the
disease
is
perfect
,
the
flowing
humours
are
plainly
felt
,
with
swellings
and
paines
in
divers
parts
:
If
the
defluxion
be
of
cold
humours
,
then
will
the
body
be
sensible
of
cold
,
the
face
pale
,
the
habit
of
the
body
generally
flegmatick
,
troubled
with
soure
belchings
,
sweet
,
slimy
and
waterish
spittle
.
If
it
be
a
hot
distillation
,
the
habit
of
the
whole
body
is
Cholerick
;
the
parts
affected
inflamed
and
painfull
,
the
face
red
,
much
thirst
,
a
salt
and
sharp
humour
in
the
mouth
.
I
need
not
tell
you
how
an
externall
defluxion
may
be
knowne
from
an
internall
,
but
take
notice
,
that
if
there
appeare
plenty
of
humours
,
the
Catarrh
is
more
dangerous
,
for
by
a
suddaine
defluxion
,
desperate
accidents
may
follow
.
If
age
,
strength
,
and
the
season
permit
,
or
if
the
body
abound
with
blood
,
or
the
Liver
be
too
hot
,
(
as
it
often
happens
in
this
distemper
)
breathe
a
veine
at
the
beginning
of
the
cure
,
the
contrary
prohibiting
Phlebotomy
.
You
must
first
prepare
the
matter
,
then
gently
purge
the
head
,
afterwards
more
strongly
purge
the
peccant
humours
:
out
of
the
former
Chapters
you
may
find
,
what
purges
are
convenient
,
with
respect
to
the
humour
offending
,
Coloquintida
hath
an
excellent
faculty
to
purge
the
head
,
but
by
reason
of
its
violent
operation
,
is
not
fit
for
common
use
;
therefore
use
it
not
without
good
advice
โช
In
this
disease
also
it
is
good
to
use
Masticatories
,
and
Gargarismes
,
when
the
humours
fall
into
the
eyes
or
nose
,
&c.
Errhines
,
and
sneesing
powders
when
it
falls
upon
the
Breast
,
Lungs
,
&c.
Issues
behind
the
neck
or
eares
are
found
,
by
experience
,
a
gallant
remedy
for
a
Catarrh
.
I
shall
not
here
trouble
my selfe
or
the
reader
,
to
insert
examples
of
the
aforegoing
medicines
;
the
Chapters
beforegoing
,
together
with
every
Artists
ingenuity
will
sufficiently
insorme
.
Take
this
for
a
generall
rule
,
that
when
a
Catarrh
or
Deflaxion
is
caused
by
excrementitious
humours
,
flowing
from
any
of
the
inferior
parts
,
by
reason
of
the
naturall
passage
,
being
stopped
,
you
must
open
the
obstruction
,
by
often
purging
,
or
by
medicines
regarding
the
nature
of
the
obstruction
,
and
by
that
meanes
turn
the
humours
offending
into
their
naturall
channell
;
after
convenient
Evacuations
,
with
internall
and
externall
medicines
.
labour
to
corroborate
the
head
,
and
dry
up
the
humours
,
Internall
medicines
may
be
prepared
thus
,
or
after
this
manner
.
Take
of
Coriander
seed
prepared
,
and
Coltsfoot
dryed
,
Nutmegs
,
and
Frankinsence
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
;
Liquoris
,
Mastick
and
Cubebs
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
flos
Sulphuris
,
three
drachms
:
Conserve
of
red
Roses
one
ounce
,
with
a
pound
of
white
Sugar
dissolved
in
Popy-water
make
rolls
,
weighing
three
drachms
or
half
an
ounce
:
Take
one
morning
and
Evening
.
Or
you
may
make
Troches
in
this
manner
,
Take
of
the
best
Frankincense
,
and
juice
of
Liquoris
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
Lac
Sulphuris
,
half
a
drachm
:
Opium
,
Saffron
,
and
Mirrh
of
each
one
scruple
;
the
oyles
of
Annise-seed
and
Nutmegs
,
of
each
three
drops
,
with
Diacedium
,
as
much
as
sufficeth
,
to
make
Troches
;
or
if
you
please
you
may
make
them
into
pills
:
and
take
halfe
a
drachm
morning
and
evening
.
It
is
good
to
apply
bags
of
hearbs
to
the
fore
part
of
the
head
,
which
have
a
drying
quality
,
shave
the
fore
part
of
the
head
,
and
apply
the
gum
Sacamahaca
,
spread
upon
a
cloath
in
the
forme
of
a
plaister
,
and
add
thereto
a
little
Mirrh
;
or
if
you
make
a
fume
thereof
,
and
shut
the
Chamber
close
,
it
profiteth
.
If
the
defluxion
proceed
from
a
hot
cause
,
you
must
administer
medicines
,
which
have
power
to
thicken
the
humours
,
to
repel
,
and
evacuate
it
:
you
must
likewise
correct
the
distempers
,
and
fortifie
the
parts
both
sending
and
receiving
,
and
that
you
may
so
do
,
you
must
revel
or
pull
bโck
the
humours
by
Phlebotomy
,
if
nothing
hinder
it
.
You
must
thicken
the
humours
,
by
administring
Juleps
,
made
of
the
Waters
of
Plantane
,
Purslane
,
Lettice
;
the
Sirrups
of
Poppies
,
Violets
,
Water-Lillies
,
of
dryed
Roses
,
and
Meconium
,
and
such
like
.
Having
thus
thickned
and
prepared
the
humours
,
you
must
evacuate
them
by
gentle
Purgatives
;
Take
of
the
Bestrhabarb
a
drachm
,
infuse
lit
in
any
of
the
afore-named
waters
(
as
much
as
is
sufficient
for
a
potion
)
six
hours
in
warm
Embers
,
strain
it
out
,
and
add
to
the
liquour
one
ounce
of
Manna
,
and
as
much
Sirrup
of
dryed
Roses
,
and
administer
it
:
To
make
the
potion
stronger
,
you
may
dissolve
therein
Catholicon
,
Diapranam
Solative
,
or
Lenitive
,
Confectio
Hamech
,
&c.
or
such
like
,
having
respect
to
the
age
and
strength
of
your
Patient
,
and
humour
offending
.
You
must
endeavour
to
restrain
the
Flux
thus
;
take
of
Conserve
of
Roses
one
ounce
,
Diatraganthum
Frigidum
,
and
Palyis
Haly
,
of
each
a
drachm
,
Bolearmenick
prepared
with
Rose-water
a
drachm
;
with
the
Emulsion
of
the
four
great
cold
Seeds
,
and
Sirrup
of
dryed
Roses
,
make
an
Opiate
,
and
give
the
quantity
of
a
Nutmeg
to
bedward
.
These
Troches
are
much
commended
,
take
Gum-Dragant
,
and
Arabick
,
of
each
two
drams
:
Bolearmenick
,
and
Terra
Sigillata
washed
in
Rosewater
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
White
Poppy
seeds
,
and
Juyce
of
Liquorish
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
;
Sugar-penid
one
ounce
,
with
the
Musilage
of
Quince-seeds
,
extracted
with
Rosewater
,
make
Troches
to
be
held
in
in
the
mouth
day
and
night
.
The
Spirit
of
Sulphur
,
and
Vitriol
given
three
or
four
drops
in
a
convenient
Julep
,
morning
and
evening
,
worketh
no
small
effects
against
a
defluxion
,
especially
if
it
proceed
from
an
inflammation
of
the
bowels
.
If
you
find
the
Disease
too
stubborn
to
yield
to
these
medicines
,
you
must
make
use
of
Narcoticks
,
of
which
Laudanum
is
none
of
the
worst
,
four
or
five
grains
given
at
bed-time
.
Faventius

Pills
in
a
Salt

of
salt
humours
.
Take

a
drachm
,
with
Sirrup
of
Violets
,
make
a
Mass
,
and
take
a
scruple
thereof
at
bed-time
.
It
is
convenient
to
make
pouders
to
apply
to
the
head
,
which
have
power
to
strengthen
,
to
stop
the
defluxion
,
and
consume
the
humours
.
Take

CHAP.
X.
Of
Diseases
of
the
Eyes
,
and
first
of
the
Diseases
proceeding
from
Obstruction
in
the
Optick
Nerves
.
IN
the
former
book
having
given
you
a
brief
account
of
this
worthy
member
,
and
what
varicty
of
wonderful
operations
,
God
and
Nature
hath
placed
in
so
little
a
subject
;
yet
of
the
parts
and
faculties
thereof
,
it
is
too
hard
a
task
for
the
most
exquisite
Philosopher
to
conceive
aright
;
or
for
the
most
eloquent
Orator
,
to
express
such
wonderful
notions
:
But
,
seeing
God
hath
indued
every
man
with
this
member
,
by
whose
curious
inspection
,
he
is
inabled
to
pry
into
all
things
;
it
is
the
duty
of
every
Naturalist
to
exercise
this
member
in
finding
out
its
own
constitution
,
and
curing
the
distemper
and
maladies
,
to
which
it
is
subject
.
For
the
benefit
of
those
,
who
want
better
helps
,
I
shall
,
as
briefly
as
may
be
,
discover
the
diseases
and
cures
of
the
eye
,
as
they
are
,
in
which
work
I
adhere
to
the
opinions
of
the
wise
and
learned
Physitians
,
verified
by
Reason
,
and
my
own
Experience
.
Sometimes
it
happeneth
,
that
the
sight
of
the
eye
is
totally
extinguished
,
and
no
fault
appears
in
the
eye
:
And
this
cometh
to
pass
,
either
by
obstruction
or
adstriction
of
the
Optick
Nerves
;
and
is
called
by
the
Latines
,
Gutta
Serena
,
and
Amauresis
.
Obstruction
(
for
the
most
part
)
is
the
cause
of
this
Disease
,
which
happeneth
by
the
flowing
down
of
a
watry
humour
upon
the
Nerves
,
which
causeth
blindness
,
or
dimness
of
sight
:
the
like
obstruction
happening
to
the
other
Nervs
,
causeth
the
Palsie
.
Adstriction
or
compression
sometimes
happeneth
by
some
moist
humour
gathered
about
the
Optick
Nerves
,
as
blood
or
filthy
matter
,
gathered
In
the
brain
,
sometimes
bp
humours
,
sometimes
by
inflammation
,
in
malignant
Feavers
,
and
may
be
the
cause
of
this
Disease
.
For
the
Nerves
being
thus
obstructed
or
compressed
,
the
animal
Spirits
cannos
pass
from
the
brain
to
the
eyes
.
To
this
I
may
add
,
that
in
case
by
a
wound
in
the
head
,
the
Optick
Nerves
be
cut
,
without
controversie
it
causeth
blindness
.
The
sign
of
this
Disease
,
is
the
loss
of
sight
,
and
the
eye
appearing
in
its
natural
condition
,
onely
the
Pupilla
,
or
sight
of
the
eye
,
looketh
wider
,
blacker
,
and
dimmer
:
the
difference
of
causes
is
thus
known
:
If
the
cause
be
blood
or
choler
,
some
inflammation
,
impostume
,
or
wound
in
the
head
hath
gone
before
.
If
the
Nerves
are
compressed
by
Flegme
,
gathered
about
the
roots
of
the
eyes
,
all
or
most
of
the
head
is
affected
,
and
the
other
senses
are
hurt
:
but
if
it
be
obstruction
of
the
Optick
Nerves
,
the
eye
is
onely
affected
,
or
the
fore-part
of
the
head
about
the
eye-hrows
,
beareth
part
of
the
affliction
.
If
the
Disease
proceed
from
an
obstruction
in
the
Optick
Nerves
,
and
the
sight
be
totally
lost
,
for
the
most
part
the
Disease
is
incurable
:
but
if
the
obstruction
be
imperfect
,
that
is
to
say
,
the
sight
much
diminished
,
and
the
Patient
not
totally
blind
,
then
there
is
hope
of
recovery
.
If
it
happen
by
humours
gathered
into
the
fore-part
of
the
head
,
compressing
the
Nerves
,
it
is
curable
.
For
the
Cure
,
the
head
must
be
cleansed
by
medicines
,
which
effectually
purge
those
humours
,
which
compress
or
obstruct
the
Nerves
;
but
remember
,
that
as
you
cannot
free
the
Nerves
,
without
purging
the
whole
head
,
so
you
cannot
cleanse
the
head
without
purging
the
whole
body
.
It
is
good
that
the
Patient
avoid
a
thick
,
cold
,
cloudy
,
and
moist
ayr
,
and
frequent
the
contrary
.
Let
him
eschew
all
meats
that
are
gross
,
or
yield
a
gross
juyce
,
such
as
are
windy
,
hot
spices
,
or
whatever
fills
the
head
with
vapours
.
It
is
good
to
put
the
seed
of
Fenel
into
his
bread
.
Let
his
meat
for
his
sauce
be
extenuating
,
as
Betony
,
Eyebright
,
Fenel
,
Hysop
,
Marjarom
,
Sage
:
Nutmeg
also
doth
much
comfort
the
brain
,
and
clears
the
sight
,
as
't
is
generally
believed
:
Let
the
aforesaid
hearbs
likewise
be
boiled
in
his
broth
:
Lettice
and
such
ilke
cold
herbs
are
very
hurtful
;
Turneps
are
highly
commended
,
and
't
is
proved
they
clear
the
sight
,
being
often
eaten
:
Pidgeons
,
Sparrows
,
and
such
like
Fowls
are
said
to
be
a
good
food
for
such
who
are
thus
diseased
.
Let
him
eat
no
Supper
,
if
he
eat
any
,
let
it
be
light
,
and
not
too
late
.
Then
let
him
make
use
of
this
Diet-drink
following
.
Take
of
Bettony
,
Eyebright
,
Celandine
the
great
,
Fenel
,
Balm
,
Marjarom
,
Sage
,
and
Vervain
,
of
each
two
handfuls
:
the
roots
of
Elecompane
,
Fenel
,
Flowerdeluce
,
Liquoris
,
and
Sawsaparilla
sliced
,
of
each
one
handful
:
the
Seeds
of
Coriander
,
Anice
,
and
Fenel
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
the
slowers
of
Ros-mary
and
Lavender
,
of
each
a
handful
:
Raisons
of
the
Sun
stoned
,
and
blew
Figs
sliced
,
of
each
a
pound
:
Senna
two
ounces
:
Let
all
these
be
infused
six
hours
,
in
a
sufficient
quantity
of
Wort
,
upon
hot
Embers
,
then
tunned
up
in
four
gallons
of
Newbear
,
let
them
work
together
:
Let
the
Patient
drink
a
draught
every
morning
till
the
Cure
be
perfected
,
unless
some
other
medicine
intervene
.
You
must
purge
the
body
often
,
as
you
see
cause
,
either
with
gentle
or
stronger
purges
;
let
them
be
Pills
,
and
such
as
purge
the
humour
oftending
;
of
which
you
shall
have
a
particular
account
in
the
fourth
book
.
If
your
Patient
be
not
old
,
and
you
finde
blood
abound
,
you
may
open
a
vein
:
the
opening
of
the
particular
veins
of
the
head
,
especially
those
that
are
nearest
the
eyes
,
have
often
proved
successful
,
because
the
veins
,
by
reason
of
their
fulness
of
blood
,
have
compressed
the
Optick
Nerves
.
Sometimes
the
application
of
Cupping-glasses
,
Vesicatories
,
and
Cauteries
,
to
the
hinder
part
of
the
head
or
neck
,
to
the
shoulders
or
back
,
have
been
attended
with
admirable
success
.
After
due
evacuation
,
it
is
convenient
to
dry
up
the
humours
by
a
sudorifick
Diet-drink
,
made
and
used
,
as
is
described
in
the
second
Chapter
;
adding
such
hearbs
,
as
have
a
special
property
to
cure
the
eyes
,
viz.
Celandine
,
Ey-bright
,
Fennel
,
and
Vervain
.
If
you
see
occasion
to
dry
up
the
moist
humours
of
the
head
,
make
use
of
such
powders
,
bags
,
and
caps
prescribed
in
the
fore-poing
Chapters
.
Also
sulphurous
and
Bituminous
Bathes
profit
much
.
The
Glossie
and
Crystalline
humours
of
the
Eye
are
subject
to
infirmities
and
disorder
:
the
first
is
subject
to
a
mixture
,
with
other
humours
;
and
this
Disease
is
hard
to
discover
;
but
must
be
cured
by
cleansing
the
head
and
optick
nerves
,
and
repelling
and
discussing
the
humour
,
which
mixeth
with
the
vitrous
humour
,
and
maketh
it
dusky
.
This
humour
also
may
be
disordered
,
in
respect
of
its
scituation
,
when
it
is
brought
before
the
Crystalline
,
and
so
diminisheth
the
sight
.
This
Disease
is
hardly
distinguished
from
a
Cataract
,
onely
it
differeth
in
the
cause
;
for
a
Cataract
cometh
by
a
defluxion
of
humour
;
this
from
a
blow
or
contusion
,
and
is
uncurable
:
sometimes
it
happeneth
that
Nature
works
a
cure
,
and
reduceth
it
to
its
place
again
;
but
no
man
as
yet
can
imitate
her
,
therefore
we
leave
the
business
to
her
disposing
.
The
Crystalline
humour
is
the
chief
instrument
of
sight
,
and
if
any
defect
happen
to
it
,
that
it
be
not
pure
nor
perspicuous
,
the
visive
spirits
cannot
exercise
their
office
.
This
humour
doth
often
suffer
prejudice
through
some
drying
and
condensing
cause
,
as
it
often
happens
to
ancient
people
,
where
the
aforesaid
cause
changeth
the
Crystaline
humour
to
redness
.
The
sign
of
this
Disease
is
a
thick
White
about
the
sight
of
the
Eye
,
and
every
object
appeareth
to
the
Patient
as
through
a
Cloud
:
It
is
called
Glaucoma
,
and
differeth
from
a
Cataract
in
this
,
viz.
a
Cataract
lyeth
in
the
Pupilla
,
or
sight
near
Cornea
,
but
Glaucoma
lyeth
much
deeper
,
and
is
uncurable
,
especially
in
old
people
.
Somtimes
the
Crystalline
humour
is
displaced
,
that
it
lyeth
not
directly
against
the
Pupilla
;
sometimes
it
lyeth
too
high
,
and
sometimes
too
low
;
and
if
one
eye
suffer
,
all
things
seem
double
:
sometimes
vapours
and
water
divide
the
visive
humours
,
and
causeth
the
objects
to
be
received
into
two
places
.
Sometimes
the
Crystalline
humour
is
removed
and
brought
nearer
to
the
Pupilla
,
and
things
that
are
near
,
are
not
so
easily
seen
,
as
things
farther
of
.
But
if
it
be
removed
backward
,
things
near
are
plainly
seen
,
but
not
afar
of
;
the
use
of
Spectacles
are
profitable
in
this
case
.
Sometimes
the
Crystalline
humour
lyeth
to
the
right
,
or
to
the
left
side
,
so
that
more
White
appeareth
on
one
side
,
then
on
the
other
,
and
this
we
call
Strabismus
,
or
Squinting
,
this
also
is
uncurable
,
unless
it
happeneth
that
the
muscles
of
the
eyes
be
displaced
by
convulsion
,
or
palsie
,
for
if
it
so
happeneth
,
it
is
uncurable
.
Sometimes
there
happeneth
an
inversion
of
the
Crystalline
humour
,
so
that
the
objects
seem
soulded
or
crooked
:
But
these
Diseases
being
uncurable
by
medicines
,
I
shall
prescribe
none
.
CHAP.
XI
.
Of
a
Cataract
.
A
Cataract
is
caused
or
bred
by
a
distemper
of
the
watry
humour
of
the
eye
,
which
distemper
is
in
quantity
or
quality
:
if
in
quantity
,
it
causeth
a
dilatation
of
the
Pupilla
;
of
which
I
shall
speak
in
the
next
Chapter
.
If
the
distemper
be
in
quality
,
it
proceeds
from
a
mixture
of
excrementitious
humours
with
the
watry
humour
:
In
the
beginning
of
this
distemper
,
the
sight
being
a
little
darkened
,
it
is
called
Suffusion
;
but
when
it
is
gathered
about
the
Pupilla
(
like
water
)
they
call
it
Aqua-water
;
but
when
it
is
gathered
thick
about
the
Pupilla
,
it
is
called
a
Cataract
.
If
Choler
be
the
humour
mixed
with
the
watry
humour
,
the
Cataract
appeareth
somewhat
citrine
or
yellow
:
if
melancholy
,
then
is
the
Cataract
more
dull
and
blackish
:
If
it
be
white
as
chalk
,
it
signifieth
a
thick
and
compacted
matter
:
if
it
be
of
the
colour
of
Pearl
,
then
slime
and
transparent
flegme
is
the
humour
offending
.
There
are
two
sorts
of
Cataracts
,
a
true
,
and
a
Bastard-cataract
:
A
true
Cataract
doth
for
the
most
part
effect
one
eye
onely
;
and
if
both
be
affected
,
they
are
not
alike
,
nor
affected
at
the
same
time
,
as
in
the
spurious
Cataract
.
In
a
true
Cataract
,
or
Suftnsion
,
a
derk
matter
appeareth
in
the
Pupilla
,
which
doth
not
in
the
other
.
But
here
let
the
Reader
beware
,
lest
he
fall
into
error
;
for
this
doth
not
always
hold
,
as
a
sure
distinguishing
rule
:
for
if
the
humour
be
as
thin
as
the
warry
humour
,
nothing
appeareth
;
and
many
upon
this
ground
have
thought
it
to
be
Gutta
Serena
:
but
there
is
a
great
difference
between
Gutta
Serena
,
and
this
:
for
in
Gutta
Serena
the
sight
is
quite
left
,
or
at
least
much
diminished
,
and
no
fault
appear
in
the
Pupilla
:
But
it
is
not
so
in
this
Suffusion
,
which
cannot
be
seen
;
for
the
sight
is
but
a
little
diminished
,
because
the
humour
being
thin
and
transparent
,
the
objects
pierce
it
like
glass
.
Though
I
need
say
nothing
of
the
signs
of
this
Disease
,
it
being
easie
to
gather
the
signs
from
the
causes
,
yet
I
shall
and
a
few
words
.
In
the
beginning
of
a
Suffusion
,
certain
small
Bodges
,
as
hairs
,
flyes
,
cobwebs
,
gnats
,
wool
,
and
such
like
,
sly
before
the
eyes
,
as
it
grows
on
the
symptomes
,
are
more
evident
,
and
the
objects
appear
as
through
a
glass
,
when
it
is
perfect
:
the
Pupilla
is
changed
in
colour
,
and
the
sight
is
totally
lost
:
what
the
colours
denote
,
I
have
already
laid
down
.
If
the
matter
of
the
Cataract
appear
dark
,
it
lyeth
between
Chorion
(
or
Uyea
)
and
Cornea
,
and
the
Pupilla
is
dilated
,
and
white
or
red
veins
appear
about
the
circle
of
the
eye
:
if
the
contrary
appear
,
judge
that
the
matter
lyeth
between
the
Christalline
,
and
Uvea
.
If
the
matter
lye
deep
,
the
Pupilla
is
contracted
,
if
higher
enlarged
.
When
the
Cataract
if
newly
begun
,
and
the
Patient
can
see
,
as
thoug
a
clad
;
if
he
be
young
,
and
the
season
sutable
,
it
may
be
cured
:
On
the
contrary
,
if
it
be
confirmed
,
and
the
matter
gross
,
it
yields
not
to
medicines
,
but
must
be
couched
with
a
needle
.
And
seeing
I
speak
of
couching
give
me
leave
to
tell
you
,
that
't
is
a
dangerous
operation
,
and
often
attended
with
bad
success
;
but
if
you
finde
it
needful
,
and
likely
to
be
prevalent
,
make
use
of
a
near-handed
Chyrurgeon
;
and
that
you
may
know
,
whether
it
be
likely
or
no
to
be
cured
,
consider
a
few
rules
.
Sign
.
of
care
,
by
couching
,
are
these
:
If
when
the
sound
eye
be
shut
,
the
Pupilla
of
the
eye
affected
appear
larger
,
and
perceive
some
light
,
there
is
hopes
of
cure
:
if
the
contrary
appear
,
judge
accordingly
.
A
black
,
green
,
yellow
,
and
hard
Cataract
,
never
yieldeth
to
medicine
,
seldome
to
the
Needle
:
Attempt
not
the
operation
on
old
men
,
nor
children
:
You
must
also
consider
,
before
you
attempt
this
operation
,
whether
the
Suffusion
be
ripe
and
sit
for
couching
;
or
whether
it
be
not
grown
too
hard
.
The
first
you
must
try
thus
;
press
down
the
eye
affected
with
your
finger
,
and
if
you
alter
the
shape
of
the
,
Suffusion
,
and
when
your
finger
is
off
it
,
returneth
to
its
former
station
,
then
is
it
thin
,
and
not
ripe
:
but
it
the
contrary
appear
,
it
may
be
couched
with
a
Needle
:
But
here
note
,
that
it
must
be
moderate
,
and
not
too
compact
,
but
like
a
skin
that
will
rowl
upon
the
Needle
;
if
it
be
thick
and
solid
like
chalk
,
or
hail
,
it
cannot
be
couched
.
For
the
cure
,
you
must
observe
the
same
rules
prescribed
in
the
former
Chapter
,
you
must
use
and
abstain
from
the
same
kind
of
diet
;
you
must
use
general
and
particular
Evacuations
;
you
must
revel
the
humours
offending
,
and
strengthen
the
head
and
eyes
.
Then
you
must
come
to
Topical
medicines
,
and
though
I
am
(
almost
)
of
Galens
opinion
,
who
saith
they
are
little
worth
,
for
they
promise
more
then
they
can
perform
,
yet
Experience
hath
taught
,
and
Authors
have
confirmed
,
that
Cataracts
,
which
have
not
been
of
long
continuance
,
but
taken
in
the
beginning
,
have
been
cured
by
Topicks
,
after
the
use
of
the
medicines
before
mentioned
;
therefore
I
shall
insert
a
few
of
them
,
and
leave
the
Ingenious
to
find
out
more
.
First
,
you
must
make
a
Fomentation
of
such
things
,
as
have
power
to
mollifie
and
dissolve
:
Take
of
Celendine
,
Fenel
,
Eye-bright
,
of
each
one
handful
;
of
Rue
,
Vervain
,
Clary
,
of
each
half
a
handful
;
Melilot
,
Chamomel
Flowers
,
and
Red-Rose
leaves
,
of
each
one
pugil
:
Fenugreek
seed
one
ounce
:
boil
them
in
a
pint
and
a
half
of
Spring
water
,
to
the
consumption
of
the
half
pint
,
then
put
in
a
half
pint
of
White-Wine
,
and
let
it
boil
a
little
.
Strein
it
out
,
and
with
clothes
wet
it
in
the
liquor
,
foment
the
eyes
every
morning
,
so
long
as
you
see
occasion
.
If
you
wash
the
eyes
with
Red-Wine
,
sometimes
it
hinders
the
defluxion
,
discusseth
and
dissolveth
.
It
is
good
to
let
a
child
lick
the
eye
,
after
it
hath
eaten
sweet
Fenel
seeds
.
Infuse
Crocus
Metallorum
in
White-Wine
,
and
wash
the
eye
with
the
Wine
;
or
after
a
sufficient
infusion
,
pour
off
the
Wine
clear
,
and
with
sweet
Fenel
and
Fenugreek
seed
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
of
Aloes
half
an
ounce
,
Saffron
a
drachm
;
beat
them
,
and
searse
them
into
fine
powder
,
the
blood
of
a
young
Pidgeon
hot
,
the
weight
of
them
all
,
with
the
aforesaid
Wine
,
what
is
sufficient
to
make
a

Or
slit
a

Then
you
must
come
to
make
use
of
Topical
Medicines
called
Collyries
,
which
many
times
(
by
Galens
favour
)
hath
good
success
,
if
the

When

Relapse
,
and
administer
such

as
threaten
the

hinder
defluxion
:
It
is
good
to
wash
the

,
every
morning
,
with
white

,
wherein
hath
he
en

CHAP.
XII
.
Of
the
enlarging
,
and
dilating
:
of
the
straitening
or
contracting
of
the
Pupilla
.
THis
Disease
is
called
in
Greek
Mydriasis
,
because
too
much
light
going
in
,
hurteth
the
sight
:
hence
it
is
,
that
those
that
are
thus
distempered
,
see
better
in
a
darkish
place
than
in
the
light
.
And
this
may
be
demonstrated
by
the
natural
change
of
the
Pupilla
(
in
sound
eyes
)
in
bright
and
obscure
places
.
For
when
a
man
is
in
a
bright
and
clear
place
,
the
Pupilla
is
contracted
and
made
less
,
lest
the
light
,
going
in
too
fast
,
should
dissipate
the
spirits
:
so
that
a
man
going
suddenly
out
of
a
very
light
place
,
into
a
house
or
place
more
obscure
,
at
the
first
entry
he
seeth
(
almost
)
nothing
at
all
,
the
Pupilla
being
so
lately
contracted
:
he
remaining
in
the
same
place
,
the
Pupilla
is
soon
dilated
or
enlarged
to
receive
more
light
,
and
then
he
seeth
perfectly
those
things
,
which
before
he
could
not
.
Then
if
he
go
out
suddenly
into
a
very
light
place
his
eyes
are
dazled
,
and
he
seeth
not
perfectly
,
because
the
Pupilla
is
enlarged
,
and
the
Light
going
in
so
fast
,
doth
dissipate
and
dispierse
the
Visive
Spirits
.
Hence
you
perceive
,
that
the
Light
ought
to
pass
into
the
Eye
in
a
moderate
quantity
,
and
the
Pupilla
ought
to
be
of
a
moderate
size
.
Hence
Galen
observes
,
that
they
who
are
born
with
narrow
Pupillas
,
see
best
.
The
Pupilla
is
enlarged
,
or
contracted
by
dryness
,
or
repletion
.
It
is
enlarged
by
dryness
,
which
stretcheth
the
Uvea
,
which
maketh
the
form
of
the
Pupilla
larger
;
as
Leather
being
pierced
,
when
it
is
dry
,
the
hole
is
larger
,
and
this
proceeds
from
Feavers
,
and
such
drying
Diseases
,
which
are
attended
with
want
of
sleep
.
So
may
the
Pupilla
be
straitned
by
dryness
,
when
the
Tunicle
Uvea
,
by
reason
of
the
diminishing
of
the
humours
of
the
Eye
,
loseth
its
former
extension
,
falls
together
,
and
is
wrinkled
,
and
so
the
hole
of
the
Pupilla
is
made
streighter
:
whereas
in
the
former
the
Tunicle
though
dry
,
holdeth
its
extension
.
It
is
made
larger
also
by
repletion
,
namely
by
vapours
or
wind
sent
unto
the
Eye
,
or
by
the
extraordinary
flowing
of
the
watry
and
other
humours
to
the
eye
,
or
by
the
swelling
of
Uvea
it self
,
it
is
distended
,
and
the
Pupilla
made
larger
:
So
the
same
watry
humour
may
work
a
contrary
effect
,
namely
by
relaxing
the
same
Tunicle
,
and
by
that
means
making
the
hole
streighter
:
The
Pupilla
is
inlarged
sometimes
by
Convulsion
,
as
may
be
seen
by
some
Epileptick
Children
:
Sometimes
a
stroak
or
fall
,
may
cause
a
deflaxion
into
the
eyes
,
hence
comes
extension
;
retension
of
the
Spirits
causeth
wind
and
humours
,
and
that
causeth
distension
of
the
Pupilla
,
and
sometimes
the
Pupilla
is
made
streighter
,
by
reason
of
the
want
of
the
visive
spirits
to
extend
the
Tunicles
,
for
want
of
which
they
are
relaxed
,
and
fall
together
,
as
may
be
seen
in
old
men
.
These
Diseases
,
though
they
are
contrary
,
yet
are
to
be
cured
by
the
same
medicines
;
remember
this
,
that
if
these
Diseases
be
of
long
continuance
,
and
in
ancient
people
,
they
are
(
without
doubt
)
incurable
.
But
if
the
Patient
be
young
,
and
the
Disease
of
no
long
continuance
,
you
must
proceed
,
with
this
consideration
,
that
the
cure
must
be
varied
according
to
the
variety
of
causes
:
If
it
proceed
from
dryness
,
you
must
refresh
the
body
with
medicines
which
are
moist
and
restaurative
;
and
such
you
shall
finde
in
the
cure
of
the
Hective
Feaver
.
If
it
comes
from
a
humour
filling
the
Eye
,
you
must
purge
and
cleanse
the
head
and
whole
body
of
that
humour
,
as
you
are
taught
in
the
cure
of
a
Cataract
.
If
from
Wind
,
after
due
Evacuations
,
you
must
labour
to
discuss
the
Wind
,
with
the
decoction
of
Fennel
,
Rue
,
Dill
,
Cammomel
,
Red-Roses
made
in
Red
Rose
Water
,
and
White-Wine
,
and
the
Eyes
fomented
therewith
.
If
there
be
occasion
for
Astriagent
Medicines
,
to
bring
the
Pupilla
(
being
enlarged
)
to
its
former
state
,
make
use
of
this
following
,
taught
by
Ryverius
.
Take
of
Red-Roses
dryed
two
Scruples
;
Saffron
,
Spicknard
,
and
the
Bark
of
Frankinsense
tree
,
of
each
half
a
scruple
:
Tutty
prepared
,
Burnt-Ivory
,
and
Acatia
,
of
each
one
scruple
:
make
them
into
fine
pouder
,
and
tie
it
up
in
a
fine
linnen
rag
,
and
hang
it
in
three
ounces
of
Red
Rose
water
;
woen
you
have
occasion
to
use
it
,
squeez
the
cloaih
,
and
drop
the
water
into
the
eyes
,
and
wash
them
therewith
.
If
a
blow
in
the
eye
causeth
an
inflammation
,
cure
it
as
the
inflammation
of
the
eye
:
but
if
by
the
blow
,
the
Pupilla
be
enlarged
without
inflammation
,
drop
in
a
drop
or
two
of
Pidgeons
blood
:
and
apply
a
Cataplasme
,
made
with
Bean-flower
,
and
Red-Roses
,
juyce
of
Plantane
,
and
Red-rose
water
.

Of
the
Pin
and
Web.
THE
Tunicle
,
called
Cornea
,
sometimes
loseth
its
colour
and
brightness
;
somtimes
it
grows
thick
by
driness
,
as
in
old
men
,
and
is
incurable
.
Sometimes
gross
humours
are
fastened
to
it
,
by
reason
of
inflamation
.
Sometimes
by
resolving
Medicines
,
the
thinner
humours
are
dissolved
,
and
the
thicker
remain
:
or
by
the
use
of
cold
medicines
,
the
humours
are
thickned
,
and
a
white
humour
is
contracted
,
which
is
called
by
some
Leucona
;
by
others
Albugo
,
commonly
a
Pin
and
Web.
Sometimes
it
comes
from
a
Sear
,
after
an
Ulcer
,
and
so
the
Cornea
loseth
its
transparentress
.
Sometimes
the
Eye
is
bloud-shod
,
and
that
spoileth
the
natural
colour
of
the
Cornea
,
and
this
is
called
Sugillatio
:
Sometimes
the
Cornea
is
made
yellow
by
the
Jaundise
.
All
these
Diseases
are
easily
discovered
,
and
their
causes
are
laid
down
in
the
Description
:
That
which
cometh
after
a
Wound
or
Ulcer
,
and
is
a
Scar
,
is
not
easily
cured
.
But
the
cure
of
the
Pin
and
Web
consists
in
Emollients
,
attenuating
and
discussing
medicines
.
But
the
Antecedent
cause
must
first
be
removed
by
universal
evacuations
,
such
as
are
described
in
the
10.
and
11.
Chapters
.
Then
you
must
soften
the
hard
matter
,
with
the
decoction
of
Fenugreek
,
Mallows
,
Melilot
,
Celendine
,
Fenel
,
and
the
like
.
Then
let
a
Child
chew
sweet
Fenel-seed
,
and
afterwards
liek
the
eye
,
or
make
a
Water
thus
:
Take
of
Honey
a
pint
,
the
juyce
of
Fenel-Brooklime
,
and
Celendine
,
of
each
half
a
pint
.
Sugar-candy
dissolved
in
the
juyces
an
ounce
,
with
the
natural
Balsome
a
scruple
;
clarifie
them
together
,
or
distil
them
in
Balneo
Mariae
,
and
drop
it
into
the
eye
.
The
seed
of
Oculus
Christi
put
into
the
eye
,
is
good
.
If
it
be
a
scar
,
after
the
use
of
the
former
medicines
,
use
the
Water
of
Honey
:
afterwards
,
put
a
quantity
of
the
Gall
of
an
Ox
to
the
Juyces
before
spoken
of
,
and
thicken
it
with
Gum-Traganth
.
If
the
Eye
be
blood-shod
,
and
yieldeth
not
to
the
fore-going
medicine
,
you
must
seek
its
cure
in
the
Chapter
of
the
Cataract
.
As
for
the
yellowness
of
the
Eyes
caused
by
the
Jaundise
,
take
away
the
cause
,
and
the
effect
ceaseth
.
CHAP.
XIV
.
Of
the
Inflammation
of
the
Eyes
.
THis
Disease
is
called
Ophthalmia
,
which
is
an
inflammation
of
the
Tunicle
Adnata
,
and
is
sometimes
extended
to
the
Cornea
:
By
the
Latines
it
is
called
Lippitudo
,
bloodshontess
:
This
Disease
is
divided
into
three
kinds
;
the
first
is
called
Taraxis
by
the
Greeks
,
and
by
the
Latines
Conturbatio
,
and
it
cometh
from
an
external
cause
,
viz.
the
Sun
,
Smoke
,
Oyl
,
Dust
,
or
the
like
.
If
it
comes
from
an
internal
cause
,
namely
from
distempers
of
the
stomach
,
it
is
called
Phlogosis
,
and
is
a
light
inflammation
,
but
is
the
Original
of
the
true
Ophthaliny
:
which
always
proceeds
from
an
internal
cause
,
accompanied
with
tumour
,
redness
,
and
pain
,
and
a
thick
Exerement
,
called
Lippa
;
from
whence
the
Latines
call
it
Lippitudo
or
bloodshotness
.
The
third
sort
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
in
in
Latine
also
Chimosis
,
this
is
attended
with
vehement
pain
,
and
the
eye-lids
are
so
inverted
,
that
they
can
scarcely
cover
the
eye
,
the
red
covereth
most
part
of
the
Iris
,
and
it
proceedeth
from
repletion
and
flegmy
humours
.
I
might
here
shew
you
how
Hippocrates
hath
divided
these
Diseases
;
namely
,
a
moist
and
dry
Ophthalmy
;
the
moist
I
have
already
spoken
of
,
the
dry
he
calleth
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
it
wanteth
humidity
,
and
proceedeth
from
Choler
,
and
adust
Melaneholy
;
there
are
other
subdivisions
,
if
there
be
itching
joyned
with
it
,
he
calleth
it
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
;
and
if
it
come
with
hardness
of
the
eye-lids
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
Galen
mentions
another
,
which
he
calleth
Ophthalmia
Tabida
,
which
ends
with
a
Consumption
,
and
loss
of
the
eye
:
this
happeneth
to
them
who
have
moist
heads
,
and
weak
eyes
,
sit
to
receive
a
defluxion
.
The
immediate
causes
are
defluxion
,
or
congestion
,
and
sometimes
both
.
The
defluxion
cometh
from
the
head
,
either
by
the
internal
veins
,
which
comes
from
the
brain
under
the
skull
,
or
by
the
external
veins
,
which
come
from
the
Pericranium
to
the
Eyes
.
These
signs
demonstrate
the
Disease
,
and
the
cause
thereof
;
if
redness
appear
without
swelling
,
it
is
a
Contโrbation
:
If
swelling
,
heat
,
and
tears
,
be
joyned
to
the
redness
,
then
is
it
a
perfect
Ophthalmy
:
but
if
it
cover
the
black
of
the
eye
,
and
invert
the
eye-lids
,
then
it
is
called
Chimosis
.
If
blood
abound
,
and
cause
the
distemper
,
the
eye
and
face
will
be
red
,
and
the
veins
swelled
.
If
Choler
be
the
cause
,
the
Patient
feeleth
a
pricking
pain
,
sharp
tears
,
which
corrode
the
cheeks
and
corners
of
the
eyes
.
If
it
proceed
from
Flegme
,
the
pain
is
heavy
,
many
slโmy
and
glutinโโฆtious
tears
.
If
Melancholy
cause
the
grief
,
the
tumour
is
but
small
,
the
colour
of
a
dusky
redness
,
few
tears
,
the
humour
thick
,
the
constitution
of
the
Patient
melancholy
.
If
the
defluxion
come
from
the
internal
parts
of
the
head
,
the
pain
will
be
felt
inwardly
,
and
about
the
roots
of
the
eyes
;
if
through
the
exterior
vessels
the
contrary
signs
appear
,
the
veins
of
the
forehead
are
distended
,
and
there
is
much
shooting
about
the
Temples
.
For
the
cure
,
the
external
causes
must
be
removed
,
the
antecedent
causes
evacuated
,
revelled
,
and
repelled
;
the
conjunct
cause
derived
and
discussed
,
and
the
parts
affected
,
strengthned
.
Let
the
Patient
observe
an
orderly
and
temperate
Diet
,
and
eat
such
things
that
are
of
easie
disgesture
,
let
him
avoid
all
sharp
and
salt
things
,
and
such
as
fume
up
to
the
head
,
and
such
things
as
breed
Choler
:
Let
him
abstain
from
strong
drink
;
let
most
of
his
drink
be
Barley
water
:
Let
him
avoid
all
motion
,
let
him
lie
still
as
long
as
he
is
able
,
and
sleep
as
long
as
he
can
.
Let
him
keep
his
eyes
shut
,
and
what
ever
you
do
,
endeavour
to
keep
his
body
soluble
.
Phlebotomy
for
the
most
part
is
convenient
,
but
let
it
be
regulated
and
moderated
according
to
the
constitution
,
strength
,
age
,
and
sex
of
your
Patient
,
and
nature
of
the
Disease
.
If
the
body
be
Plethorick
,
and
the
Disease
hath
its
original
from
blood
,
you
must
take
away
the
greater
quantity
,
for
Galen
in
his
book
de
curat
.
per
sang
.
mis.
reiateth
how
one
was
cured
of
an
Ophthalmy
by
bloed-letting
:
first
three
pound
,
and
four
hours
after
one
pound
:
understand
this
onely
in
the
case
before
mentioned
,
though
I
could
instance
many
cases
more
,
cited
by
eminent
Authors
and
Fathers
of
Physick
,
yet
let
this
serve
for
all
to
avoid
prolixity
.
If
onely
one
eye
be
affected
,
bleed
your
Patient
on
the
contrary
side
.
If
you
finde
a
stoppage
of
any
accustomed
evacuations
,
viz.
the
Terms
or
Hemorroid
veins
;
if
the
first
be
stopped
,
open
the
Saphaena
;
if
the
other
,
bleed
them
with
Leeches
.
To
make
revulsion
,
some
do
apply
Cupping-glasses
to
the
shoulders
and
back
:
others
open
the
veins
of
the
head
and
temples
,
sometimes
the
veins
or
the
corners
of
the
eyes
,
and
behind
the
ears
:
and
some
bleed
these
veins
by
Leeches
,
all
which
are
very
profitable
for
derivation
.
When
you
have
bled
,
and
made
sufficient
revulsion
,
you
must
purge
the
humour
that
offendeth
,
and
causeth
the
blood
to
be
inflamed
;
but
first
let
the
humours
be
prepared
,
then
purge
gently
,
and
often
;
and
if
you
see
occasion
,
after
all
this
,
you
may
purge
more
strongly
.
Prepare
the
humours
thus
:
Take
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
and
Fumitory
,
of
each
one
handful
;
Red.
Rose
leaves
one
ounce
;
of
the
greater
Cold-seeds
half
an
ounce
;
Of
Lettice
and
Poppy-seeds
,
of
each
two
scruples
:
boil
them
in
a
quart
of
Spring
water
,
to
the
consumption
of
half
,
shrein
it
,
and
with
Sirrup
of
Violets
two
ounces
,
and
Sirrup
of
Fumitory
one
ounce
,
make
a
Julep
for
three
potions
:
afterwards
you
must
administer
such
medicines
,
as
have
power
gently
to
carry
away
the
peccant
humours
.
Take
of
Cassia
newly
drawn
,
one
ounce
and
a
half
:
Manna
dissolved
in
Rose-water
an
ounce
:
Catholicon
half
an
ounce
,
Powder
of
Rubarb
two
drachms
,
with
Sugar
sufficient
,
make
a
Bolus
for
three
times
.
If
the
body
be
slagmatick
,
purge
with
pills
of
Agarick
,
or
Lucis
Majores
;
but
take
this
caution
along
with
you
,
that
you
administer
no
strong
purgation
in
this
distemper
,
without
the
advice
of
an
able
Physition
.
After
sufficient
Evacuations
,
you
may
profirably
apply
a
Cataplasme
to
the
forehead
and
temples
,
that
hath
an
astringent
power
,
by
which
the
humours
flowing
to
the
eyes
may
be
stopt
:
Take
of
Bolearmonick
,
Mastich
,
Frankinsence
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
and
Wheat-flower
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
the
powder
of
Lentils
,
and
Red-Roses
,
of
each
two
seruples
,
with
the
White
of
an
egge
,
juyce
of
Nettles
,
Vinegar
of
Roses
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
,
sufficient
to
make
a
Cataplasme
.
An
Apple
roasted
with
Frankincense
and
Mastick
in
it
,
moisten
it
with
the
White
of
an
Egg
beaten
to
water
,
and
as
much
of
a
sound
womans
breast-milk
,
make
a
Cataplasme
,
and
apply
it
to
the
eye
;
or
with
crums
of
bread
,
and
womans
milk
,
with
a
little
Rose
water
,
you
may
make
a
convenient
Cataplasme
.
Then
you
must
prepare
Collyries
,
Unguents
,
and
Fomentations
,
which
must
be
used
with
discretion
,
and
varied
as
the
pain
or
inflammation
increaseth
,
or
decreaseth
,
or
as
the
humours
are
discussed
or
fixed
,
&c.
out
of
the
multiplicity
of
such
medicines
,
I
shal
insert
a
few
,
and
but
a
few
,
for
brevities
sake
.
Take
the
Salt
of
Lead
one
scruple
,
Sal-Armoniack
six
grains
,
Rose-water
and
Plantine-water
,
of
each
three
ounces
,
the
White
of
an
egge
beaten
to
water
,
one
ounce
,
let
them
be
mixed
therein
,
and
the
Salts
well
dissolved
,
drop
a
little
into
the
eye
morning
and
evening
.
Quercetan
commends
the
infusion
of
Crocus
Metallorum
,
made
in
Eye-bright
,
and
Fenel-water
,
and
used
as
before
.
Paenotus
his
Ointment
is
very
good
in
these
ocular
inflmamations
;
and
the
way
to
prepare
it
is
thus
:
Take
of
Tutry
prepared
an
ounce
and
a
half
,
Camphire
one
drachm
,
Verdegreece
12.
grains
;
beat
the
Tutty
and
the
Camphire
together
in
a
morter
,
into
fine
powder
,
likewise
the
Verdegreece
by
it self
:
then
take
of
fresh
butter
(
or
May
butter
,
if
you
can
have
it
)
one
ounce
,
Rosewater
one
drachm
;
boil
them
gently
together
,
then
take
them
from
the
fire
:
first
put
in
the
Camphire
and
Tutty
,
then
the
Verdegreece
by
degrees
,
stir
them
well
together
,
and
strein
them
through
a
piece
of
Sarsenet
,
put
it
into
a
glass
,
and
keep
it
for
your
use
:
anoint
the
inside
of
the
eye-lids
,
especially
about
the
corners
,
and
you
shal
find
ease
,
whether
it
be
a
moist
or
dry
inflamation
.
If
you
make
an
Ointment
of
fresh
butter
,
and
juyce
of
Tobacco
,
you
may
do
wonders
in
this
case
,
but
you
must
onely
anoint
the
outside
of
the
eye
lids
.
In
the
declination
of
the
Disease
,
you
may
make
a
fomentation
,
which
hath
a
power
to
discusse
and
resolve
,
of
the
decoction
of
Camomel
,
Melliot
,
Roses
,
Eyebright
,
and
Marjerom
,
and
with
clothes
foment
the
eyes
.
If
the
Disease
hath
its
original
from
a
flegmatick
humour
,
your
resolvents
must
be
the
stronger
.
Baths
,
also
the
drinking
of
Wine
hath
been
approved
,
and
much
commended
by
Galen
and
Hippocrates
,
as
a
means
to
extenuate
,
dissolve
,
diffuse
,
and
discuss
the
thick
humours
gathered
in
the
eyes
,
and
to
open
obstructions
.
If
you
find
that
the
Ophthalmy
is
caused
by
defects
of
the
brain
,
by
defluxion
,
or
a
hot
distemper
of
the
Liver
,
then
labour
first
to
remove
the
cause
,
as
the
several
Chapters
,
thereof
entreating
,
will
instruct
you
.
Sometimes
if
the
humour
cannot
be
resolved
,
there
is
a
suppuration
and
an
Ulcer
sometimes
followeth
it
,
and
sometimes
matter
gathereth
under
the
Cornea
;
this
is
called
Hypopye
,
this
cometh
also
sometimes
by
a
contusion
;
sometimes
it
covereth
the
Pupilla
,
and
sometimes
compasseth
the
Circle
of
the
eye
,
and
is
like
a
mans
nail
:
Hence
the
Greeks
call
it
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
:
This
Disease
is
known
by
the
inflamation
going
before
;
the
matter
is
white
under
the
Cornea
,
and
when
the
eye
is
moved
,
it
hath
a
motion
.
For
the
cure
of
this
,
you
must
(
if
any
of
the
inflamation
remain
)
use
the
aforegoing
medicines
;
afterwards
do
as
you
are
taught
in
the
cure
of
a
Cataract
.
Sometimes
not
onely
in
the
Cornea
,
but
also
in
the
Adnata
,
little
blisters
do
arise
,
like
little
bubbles
,
like
Pearls
or
Grumwel
seed
,
it
hath
its
original
from
a
sharp
and
watry
humour
:
it
is
called
Phlyctaenae
:
in
the
Adnata
they
are
red
,
in
the
Cornea
white
within
;
but
if
they
be
on
the
outside
,
they
are
black
.
They
which
are
in
Cornea
are
more
dangerous
,
then
those
that
are
in
Adnata
:
and
the
more
superficial
they
are
the
less
is
the
danger
.
The
cure
consisteth
in
the
resolving
the
matter
conjoyned
,
and
averting
of
the
antecedent
cause
:
labour
to
prevent
a
Suppuration
,
lest
an
Ulcer
follow
.
For
the
particular
cure
of
this
Disease
,
you
must
use
those
medicines
proper
for
the
cure
of
the
Ophthalmy
.
After
an
Ophthalmy
,
and
blisters
in
the
eyes
,
ulcers
sometimes
happen
in
the
aforesaid
Tunicles
;
when
the
humours
there
gathered
,
or
the
blisters
come
to
suppuration
:
and
sometimes
they
follow
sharp
,
corroding
and
watty
humours
flowing
into
the
eys
.
Some
of
them
are
superficial
or
profound
,
broad
or
narrow
.
A
hollow
narrow
and
hard
Ulcer
is
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
in
Latine
Fossula
,
or
a
little
Ditch
.
An
Ulcer
that
is
broad
,
and
not
so
deep
,
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
;
that
which
cometh
in
the
Circle
of
the
eye
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
or
Ulcus
coronale
.
They
that
are
deep
,
solid
,
hard
,
and
crusty
,
are
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
or
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
If
the
Ulcer
be
in
the
Cornea
,
there
will
be
a
small
white
blemish
in
the
black
of
the
eye
:
If
it
be
in
the
Adnata
,
there
will
be
a
small
red
blemish
in
the
white
of
the
eye
,
because
the
Adnata
is
full
of
blood
.
All
Ulcers
in
the
eyes
are
dangerous
,
and
hard
to
cure
,
but
more
in
the
Cornea
,
than
in
the
Adnata
:
If
it
happen
in
the
?
pilla
,
though
it
be
cured
,
it
much
prejudiceth
the
sight
,
because
it
leaveth
a
scar
,
which
hindereth
the
perspicuity
of
the
Cornea
.
For
the
Cure
,
you
must
use
such
medicines
as
dry
and
cleanse
moderately
such
as
asswage
pain
,
and
revel
,
and
restrain
the
humours
flowing
upon
the
eyes
.
You
can
scarcely
read
thus
far
,
and
be
ignorant
of
particular
medicines
;
yet
for
the
benefit
of
the
unskilful
,
I
shall
insert
one
or
two
:
Take
an
egg
boiled
hard
,
pilled
and
cut
in
two
pieces
:
take
out
the
yolk
,
and
fill
the
hollow
with
Sugar-candy
,
and
Mirth
in
Powder
,
tie
them
last
,
and
hang
them
up
in
a
Cellar
,
and
a
Water
will
drop
from
it
,
which
is
good
to
cleanse
the
eye
without
pain
:
the
water
of
honey
distilled
,
hath
been
found
very
effectual
.
But
if
these
medicines
are
not
strong
enough
,
do
as
followeth
:
Take
of
Plantane
,
Vervane
,
and
White
rose
water
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
honey
two
ounces
,
the
Whites
of
ten
new
laid
eggs
,
boiled
hard
;
of
Mirth
,
Tutty
,
and
the
white
Troches
of
Rasis
,
of
each
a
drachm
,
Sarcocol
,
Frankincence
,
Aloes
,
and
Ceruse
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
:
pouder
them
that
are
to
be
powdered
,
and
mixe
them
all
in
a
stone
morter
;
then
put
them
into
a
smal
glass
body
with
a
head
and
receiver
,
and
distil
it
in
Balneo
:
This
Water
is
excellent
against
Ulcers
in
the
eys
.
These
three
Diseases
I
thought
good
to
annex
to
the
cure
of
the
inflamation
of
the
eyes
,
having
a
dependency
thereupon
.
CHAP.
XV.
Of
the
Cancer
,
and
Rupture
of
the
Cornea
.
SOmetimes
a
Cancer
groweth
up
,
and
is
perfected
in
the
eye
,
of
which
there
is
two
sorts
,
either
occult
,
or
ulcerated
:
The
occult
is
called
a
Cancerous
Tumor
,
or
Cancer
of
the
Eye
:
The
ulcerated
is
called
a
cancerous
ulcer
in
the
eye
:
It
is
known
by
a
blew
,
leaden
colour
,
and
unequal
hardness
,
the
veins
adjoyning
are
very
full
and
blew
,
and
the
eye
,
the
temples
,
and
the
whole
head
is
afflicted
with
a
strong
and
pricking
pain
.
If
the
Disease
be
fixed
and
perfect
,
it
is
incurable
,
except
it
be
taken
away
by
manual
operation
,
but
if
it
be
taken
in
the
beginning
,
it
may
be
cured
:
you
must
administer
convenient
Physick
,
and
adjoyn
a
sutable
diet
.
You
must
draw
bloud
on
the
same
side
:
if
you
finde
occasion
,
bleed
the
Hemorrhoid
veins
by
Leeches
,
and
apply
them
behind
the
ears
:
after
the
use
of
these
,
or
the
like
revulsions
,
purge
melancholy
often
,
and
gently
:
once
or
twice
a
week
(
if
the
body
be
strong
enough
)
purge
with
the
extract
of
black
Hellebore
.
These
remedies
will
much
diminish
the
humours
,
and
decrease
the
pain
,
after
which
you
must
use
Topicks
,
such
as
have
prepared
Tutty
,
and
the
white
Troches
in
them
,
for
which
have
recourse
to
the
preceding
Chapter
.
The
flesh
of
young
Pigeons
or
Chickens
applyed
to
the
Cancer
,
hath
been
found
very
available
.
The
Rupture
of
the
Cornea
,
is
when
the
Tunicle
is
so
divided
,
that
the
watry
humour
,
and
sometimes
the
Uvea
cometh
forth
.
The
cause
of
both
is
a
Wound
,
Ulcer
,
or
a
great
afflux
of
humours
;
by
which
the
Cornea
is
so
distended
,
that
it
cracks
,
and
the
humours
contained
are
let
out
,
and
sometimes
the
Uv
a
shooteth
out
:
Paulus
divideth
this
Disease
into
four
kinds
;
the
first
cometh
forth
like
the
head
of
a
Fly
,
and
therefore
he
calleth
it
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
;
The
second
is
when
a
greater
part
cometh
forth
,
and
is
like
the
stone
of
a
Raisin
,
and
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
The
third
is
,
when
the
Eruption
is
so
great
,
that
it
seemeth
like
an
Apple
,
and
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
The
fourth
is
when
the
Uvea
(
being
come
forth
)
is
hard

The
Cure
is
very
difficult
alwayes
,
but
for
the
most
part
it
is
incurable
.
After
bleeding
(
if
need
be
)
and
purging
the
peccant
humours
,
you
must
use
astringent
and
glutinating
medicines
;
as
the
white
Troches
,
and
the
white
of
an
Egg
dropt
into
the
Eye
:
then
make
a
Cataplasme
to
the
part
,
thus
:
Take
the
root
of
Solomons
Seal
four
ounces
,
Quinces
pared
and
fliced
two
ounces
;
Red-rose
leaves
a
handful
,
Acatia
a
drachm
;
Saffron
two
scruples
,
boil
these
in
red
wine
,
and
Plantane
water
(
of
each
a
like
quantity
)
as
much
as
is
sufficient
to
make
a
Cataplasme
.
Afterwards
,
to
make
a
perfect
consolidation
,
take
an
ounce
of
the
Mucilage
of
Gum
Traganth
made
in
Plantain
water
,
the
clarified
juyce
of
Plantain
,
and
of
the
root
of
Solomons
Seal
,
of
each
one
spoonful
:
of
the
white
of
an
egg
beaten
to
clean
water
,
and
a
womans
breast-milk
,
of
both
a
spoonful
,
washed
Aloes
,
prepared
Tutty
,
and
Sarcocol
,
of
each
two
scruples
,
Saffron
one
scruple
:
pouder
what
is
to
be
poudered
,
and
mix
them
for
a
Collyric
.
CHAP.
XVI
.
Of
the
Diseases
of
the
corners
of
the
Eyes
and
Eye-lids
.
SOmetimes
there
happeneth
a
Tumor
in
the
corner
of
the
Eye
,
at
the
root
of
the
nose
;
if
it
do
not
break
,
it
is
called
Anchylops
;
if
it
do
break
,
it
is
called
Aegylops
.
Sometimes
this
Tumor
cometh
without
inflamation
,
and
is
bred
of
a
thick
,
flegmatick
,
slimy
humour
as
the
Tumors
called
Atheromata
,
Steatomata
,
&c.
of
which
you
shall
have
a
brief
account
in
the
next
book
.
When
it
cometh
with
inflamation
,
it
is
like
a
Bile
,
with
shooting
pain
,
and
very
red
,
and
it
cometh
by
thin
and
cholerick
bloud
flowing
thither
,
and
then
imposthumateth
;
which
being
open
produceth
an
Ulcer
;
then
it
becomes
hollow
,
and
is
called
Fistula
Lachrymalis
.
The
Cure
is
very
difficult
,
because
it
is
ill
applying
medicines
,
the
eye
being
so
near
.
If
it
hath
not
been
of
long
continuance
,
and
the
Orifice
to
be
seen
externally
,
it
may
be
cured
by
medicines
:
But
if
it
hath
continued
a
year
,
the
Bone
is
foul
,
and
hard
to
be
cured
without
burning
.
If
it
turns
to
a
Cancer
,
it
is
incurable
,
because
medicines
will
enlarge
it
,
and
increase
pain
,
and
is
known
by
the
hardness
and
blewness
of
the
skin
,
the
extension
of
the
veins
,
and
extremity
of
the
pain
.
You
must
open
a
vein
,
if
nothing
hinder
,
and
revel
the
humours
by
purging
,
which
you
may
do
by
these
following
Pills
,
viz.
Cochiae
,
Arabicae
,
Aureae
,
and
Lucis
Majoris
:
then
you
must
endeavour
to
stop
the
progress
by
repelling
medicines
:
take
the
juyce
of
Night
shade
,
Shepheards
purse
,
and
Knotgrasse
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
Acacia
,
the
flowers
of
Balaustines
,
Bolearmeniack
,
Gauls
,
Frankincense
,
and
Roch-allum
,
of
each
a
drachm
;
boil
them
well
together
:
then
with
four
ounces
of
white
Wax
,
and
four
drachms
of
Turpentine
,
make
a
Cerate
,
to
be
applyed
to
the
fore-head
:
Afterwards
endeavour
to
resolve
the
humours
:
Amatus
Lucitanus
commends
this
following
Cerate
:
Take
of
the
Powder
of
Cockle-shels
two
drams
,
Mirrh
,
Aloes
,
and
Frankinsence
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
Sarcocol
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
and
Ceruse
,
of
each
three
drachms
:
Opopanax
dissolved
in
Wine
,
Vinegar
,
and
Bloud-stone
,
of
each
one
drachm
and
an
half
,
Saffron
two
scruples
,
Wax
and
Rozen
,
of
each
three
ounces
:
make
a
Cerate
according
to
art
,
and
apply
it
to
the
corner
of
the
Eye
and
Forehead
.
If
,
after
all
this
,
it
will
come
to
Suppuration
,
make
use
of
such
things
as
will
hasten
it
,
least
the
humours
corrode
the
part
:
apply
a
Plaister
of
Diachilon
Simplex
.
If
an
inflamation
approach
,
apply
a
Cataplasme
made
with
white
bread
and
milk
:
If
it
break
not
suddenly
,
open
it
with
a
Launcet
,
cleanse
the
Ulcer
and
heal
it
.
But
if
it
prove
a
Fistula
,
you
must
be
the
more
careful
,
first
to
cleanse
it
thus
.
Take
of
Aqua
vitae
,
and
Honey
of
Roses
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
Mirrh
two
ounces
,
with
Allum
and
Verdegreece
,
of
each
a
drachm
:
boil
them
together
,
and
make
a
Liniment
:
Unguentum
,
Aegyptiacum
,
and
Apostolorum
,
is
of
great
virtue
in
this
case
.
If
the
bone
be
foul
,
it
must
be
cured
by
an
actual
Cautery
:
yet
Fabricius
Hildanus
saith
he
cured
a
Lachrimal
Fistula
with
medicines
;
he
applyed
Euphorbium
,
and
upon
the
same
an
Emplaister
of
Gum-Elemi
,
and
this
he
did
till
he
skaled
the
bone
:
afterwards
with
the
Tolutan
Balsome
,
a
drop
upon
a
little
lint
,
he
incarnated
,
and
consolidated
the
Fistula
in
a
very
short
time
.
After
this
Lachrymal
Fistula
,
there
followeth
a
consuming
and
diminishing
of
the
Caruncle
in
the
corner
of
the
Eye
,
sometimes
it
also
happeneth
by
a
sharp
humour
falling
down
thither
,
and
sometimes
by
cleasing
medicines
applyed
without
discretion
;
this
Disease
is
called
Rhyas
:
there
is
another
Disease
conrrary
to
this
,
which
is
an
immoderate
growth
and
increase
of
the
flesh
in
the
corner
of
the
eye
:
which
proceedeth
sometimes
for
want
of
orderly
drying
up
of
the
Ulcer
,
and
sometimes
by
a
defluxion
of
bloud
to
the
part
,
and
this
is
called
Enchanthis
.
For
the
cute
of
the
first
,
you
must
perform
it
by
Incarnative
Medicines
:
Take
of
Aloes
,
Borax
,
Frankincense
,
Dragons
Bloud
,
Cypress
Nuts
,
and
Mprtles
,
of
each
one
dragm
,
the
flowers
of
Pomegranates
,
Red
Roses
,
and
Comfrey
,
of
each
two
scruples
;
theseeds
of
Sumach
on
scruple
.
Let
them
be
boiled
in
old
Canary
,
and
Plantane
,
and
Rose-water
,
of
each
half
a
pint
,
to
the
consumption
of
half
,
and
with
this
Collyrie
often
wash
the
part
affected
:
the
other
you
must
cure
by
taking
away
the
superfluous
flesh
,
with
eating
medicines
,
as
Burnt
Allum
,
Burnt
Vtriol
,
Unguentum
Aegyptiatum
,
or
Apostolorum
;
or
you
must
cut
it
off
,
and
burn
it
with
an
Iron
:
But
proceed
which
way
you
will
,
you
must
not
forget
convenient
Evacuations
,
for
fear
of
a
defluxion
,
and
you
must
beware
least
you
take
it
not
away
too
near
,
least
it
turn
to
Rhyas
.
There
is
also
a
defluxion
of
Rhenm
,
issuing
out
of
du
the
corners
of
the
Eyes
and
is
called
involuntary
weeping
,
and
by
some
Epiphora
:
for
the
producing
of
this
Disease
there
is
an
indisposition
in
the
part
sending
,
and
the
part
receiving
:
the
part
sending
is
the
brain
,
which
,
being
too
hot
or
too
cold
,
attracteth
a
watery
humour
,
and
sendeth
it
to
the
inferiour
parts
.
By
the
weakness
,
thinness
,
thickness
,
of
the
Caruncle
in
the
corner
of
the
Eye
,
it
is
made
uncapable
to
resist
such
a
defluxion
,
which
often
happeneth
in
the
three
fore-mentioned
Diseases
.
This
defluxion
is
conveighed
sometimes
by
the
external
,
and
sometimes
by
the
internal
veins
:
Sometimes
the
defluxion
is
hot
,
and
sometimes
cold
.
If
it
be
conveighed
by
the
external
veins
,
the
veins
of
the
Forehead
and
Temples
are
distended
,
and
the
pain
is
felt
without
the
Skull
;
if
internally
,
the
pain
is
felt
contrarily
.
If
the
humour
be
hot
,
it
causeth
the
more
pain
;
heat
,
redness
,
and
exulceration
of
the
eye-brows
follow
.
If
this
Disease
cometh
from
an
outward
cause
,
if
it
hath
not
continued
long
,
it
may
be
soon
cured
,
but
hardly
if
your
Patient
be
old
.
If
it
proceed
from
a
Lachrymal
Fiflula
,
Rhyas
,
or
Echanthis
,
it
hath
its
cure
with
those
Diseases
.
You
must
take
away
the
defluxion
,
and
strengthen
the
part
,
you
must
evacuate
the
humour
offending
by
purging
:
likewise
if
the
body
be
phlethorick
,
and
nothing
prohibite
,
you
may
open
a
vein
.
You
must
make
revulsions
of
the
flowing
humours
by
Cupping
,
Vesicatories
,
Blisters
behind
the
neck
,
and
Issues
in
the
arms
.
For
derivation
,
apply
Leeches
behind
the
ears
,
and
Masticatories
in
the
morning
:
strengthen
the
head
and
brain
,
whether
the
humour
be
hot
or
cold
;
the
Chap.
of
the
Catarrh
,
and
of
the
coldest
distempers
of
the
brain
,
will
particularly
inform
you
,
how
to
purge
,
revel
,
and
derive
the
peccant
humours
,
and
strengthen
the
part
affected
.
Then
you
must
apply
astringent
medicines
to
the
Fore
head
and
temples
;
if
the
humour
flow
through
the
external
veins
:
If
it
be
a
cold
humour
,
take
of
Frankinsence
,
Tacamabacca
,
and
Mastich
,
of
each
two
drachms
:
Terra
Sigillata
one
drachm
,
Mace
pulverized
,
and
Juniper
Gum
,
of
each
two
scruples
:
Turpentine
and
Wax
sufficient
to
make
a
Cerate
for
the
forehead
and
temples
;
But
if
it
be
a
hot
and
sharp
humour
,
take
of
Endive
and
Knot-grass
,
of
each
one
handful
;
the
Root
of
Solomon's
Seal
one
pound
,
beat
them
well
in
a
Stone
morter
,
and
with
a
pint
of
White-Wine
Vinegar
,
let
them
boil
till
half
of
the
Vinegar
be
consumed
:
then
take
of
Bolearmenick
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Pomegranate
Flowers
,
of
each
two
drachms
:
Frankinsence
,
Mastick
,
and
Red-Roses
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
,
pouder
them
,
and
mix
them
with
the
other
,
and
make
a
Caraplasme
to
be
applyed
as
aforesaid
.
You
must
likewise
apply
drying
and
astringent
medicines
to
the
part
affected
.
Take
of
prepared
Tutty
,
Egg-shels
,
Aloes
,
Frankinsence
,
and
Mastich
,
of
each
two
scruples
,
Sarcocol
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
and
Sumach
seed
,
of
each
one
scruple
;
Mirrh
and
Spicknard
,
of
each
six
grains
;
make
them
all
into
fine
pouder
,
and
tie
them
up
in
a
rag
,
and
steep
it
in
white
Wine
,
Fenel
,
Eye-bright
,
or
white
Rose-water
,
and
squeez
it
often
into
the
eyes
.
These
medicines
prescribed
for
an
Ophthalmy
are
good
likewise
in
this
distemper
.
There
is
another
disease
appertaining
to
the
corner
of
the
Eye
,
it
is
called
by
some
(
Pterygium
)
by
other
some
the
Haw
in
the
Eye
,
and
by
others
Unguis
,
and
it
is
a
hard
and
Nervous
Membrane
,
growing
out
of
the
corner
of
the
Eye
,
covering
the
white
,
and
in
time
the
Pupilla
also
.
Somtimes
it
is
thin
and
white
,
and
somtimes
it
is
red
and
full
of
Veins
.
It
is
caused
by
Ulceration
of
the
Caruncle
of
the
Eye
,
and
is
bred
by
excrements
(
flowing
to
the
part
)
as
well
as
blood
;
hence
it
cometh
to
passe
that
variety
of
Haws
are
bred
,
according
to
the
seeding
humour
,
and
may
be
thus
distinguished
;
A
red
Haw
comes
of
pure
blood
,
a
Yellow
of
Choler
,
a
white
of
Flegme
,
a
dark
and
black
one
of
Melancholly
.
It
the
Eye
affected
grow
lesse
,
it
is
an
evill
signe
,
and
little
hopes
there
is
of
recovery
.
If
you
take
it
whilst
it
is
new
and
beginning
,
it
may
(
with
difficulty
)
be
taken
off
by
medicine
;
but
if
it
be
far
gon
,
it
must
be
done
by
Chirurgery
,
you
must
Evacuate
and
purge
the
Antecedent
cause
,
as
you
have
heard
sufficiently
already
in
the
other
Chapters
of
the
diseases
of
the
eyes
;
and
you
must
use
the
same
Course
of
Dier
.
Then
you
may
make
use
of
those
Topicks
spoken
of
in
the
Cure
of
blisters
in
the
Eyes
.
Take
of
Cuttle
bone
in
fine
powder
,
and
put
it
upon
the
Haw
;
this
I
have
known
,
take
the
Haw
from
the
Eye
of
an
Horse
:
if
you
mix
Tutty
and
Vitriol
to
it
,
it
may
prove
the
better
.
I
shall
instance
one
more
commended
by
Forestus
.
Take
of
the
juyce
of
Fennel
four
ounces
;
the
juyce
of
Celandine
three
ounces
,
of
Rue
two
ounces
,
and
of
Mallows
two
ounces
and
an
half
,
Aloes
one
drachm
,
Vitriol
two
scruples
,
Verdegrease
one
scruple
,
Ginger
and
Cinamon
,
of
each
half
a
scruple
;
the
Gall
of
an
Eel
half
an
ounce
,
the
Gall
of
an
Oxe
two
drachms
,
Sugar-Candy
two
scruples
,
let
the
juyces
boyle
with
the
rest
,
then
clarifie
it
and
make
a
Collyrium
,
with
which
dresse
the
Eye
,
and
if
this
prevaile
not
,
it
must
be
taken
off
by
Chirurgery
.
I
shall
say
no
more
,
but
put
an
end
to
this
Chapter
,
and
the
diseases
of
the
Eyes
.
CHAP.
XVII
.
Of
the
diseases
of
the
Eares
.
THe
Eare
is
the
Organ
of
hearing
,
the
most
spirituall
sense
,
the
agent
of
understanding
,
the
gate
,
through
which
science
truth
and
virtue
hath
its
entrance
into
the
soul
,
this
member
is
subject
to
divers
diseases
,
Similary
,
Organick
,
and
Common
,
which
are
known
and
distinguished
by
their
symptomes
.
There
is
first
deafnesse
or
dullnesse
of
hearing
,
which
I
shall
joyne
,
because
they
differ
only
in
degrees
,
and
are
the
same
in
causes
.
I
shall
not
spend
my
time
to
shew
you
the
difference
between
deafnesse
and
dullnesse
of
hearing
,
only
declare
the
causes
of
both
.
The
first
is
called
by
the
Greeks
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
the
other
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
both
of
these
have
their
originall
from
a
distemper
of
the
braine
.
The
cause
lyeth
either
in
the
exterior
,
or
interior
cavity
;
the
exterior
cavity
may
be
obstructed
or
stopped
by
Tumor
,
Impostume
,
blood
,
matter
,
flegme
,
or
the
like
,
which
may
prove
defective
to
the
hearing
;
but
this
cause
cannot
make
an
absolute
deafnesse
,
because
there
is
an
open
way
from
the
interiour
eavity
to
the
Pallat
,
by
which
the
sound
is
carryed
;
as
you
may
observe
by
those
that
are
hard
of
hearing
,
for
they
are
subject
to
hold
open
their
mouths
,
that
so
they
may
heare
the
better
,
and
you
may
prove
it
by
this
example
:
Hold
a
stick
between
your
teeth
,
with
which
strike
the
strings
of
a
musicall
instrument
,
Ropping
your
Eares
,
and
you
may
heare
the
sound
as
well
or
better
then
with
your
open
Eares
.
The
interior
Cavity
is
somtimes
obstructed
by
Flegmatick
,
and
Cholerick
humors
,
and
somtimes
by
blood
.
Somtimes
humors
from
all
parts
of
the
body
are
sent
to
this
Cavity
as
it
happeneth
somtimes
in
Feavers
.
Somtimes
the
Tympany
may
be
relaxed
,
somtimes
by
excesse
of
moist
humors
,
and
somtimes
by
some
violent
and
suddaine
noise
,
somtimes
it
is
stretched
or
dried
after
some
violent
disease
,
accompanied
with
watching
or
fasting
,
somtimes
it
may
be
broken
by
a
violent
motion
,
or
corroded
by
a
sharp
humor
.
Somtimes
Narcoticks
administred
over
much
:
somtimes
a
cold
distemper
,
or
cold
water
got
into
the
Eare
,
or
somtimes
the
instruments
of
hearing
hurt
by
some
stroke
or
fall
or
the
like
,
may
be
the
cause
of
this
disease
.
Though
it
be
hard
to
distinguish
all
these
by
their
proper
signes
,
yet
you
may
by
Art
,
and
Conjecture
come
neare
it
.
If
the
distemper
comes
from
a
distemper
of
the
brain
:
either
there
is
an
appearance
of
some
disease
in
the
head
,
as
the
Head-Ach
,
Apoplexy
,
&c
:
or
some
of
the
other
sences
are
hurt
.
If
the
externall
Cavity
of
the
Eares
be
obstructed
by
excrementitious
humors
,
or
somthing
fallen
in
,
it
may
be
discovered
by
the
Eye
.
If
the
interior
Cavity
be
obstructed
by
some
humor
:
the
humor
may
be
known
by
some
present
or
preceeding
disease
,
or
by
the
constitution
of
the
body
.
The
loosenesse
or
moistnesse
of
the
Tympane
,
may
be
conjectured
by
some
preceding
moist
distemper
,
the
drynesse
of
the
same
part
,
by
the
drynesse
of
the
whole
body
.
The
Tympane
cannot
be
broken
,
unlesse
there
hath
been
some
violent
cause
,
which
might
break
it
,
preceded
.
If
deafnesse
be
absolute
,
and
of
long
continuance
,
or
if
the
Patient
was
borne
so
,
it
is
incurable
.
If
it
proceed
from
a
sharp
or
continuall
Fever
,
the
cure
of
the
Fever
is
the
remedy
.
The
Tympane
broken
,
the
deafnesse
is
incurable
.
If
it
increase
and
decrease
,
it
proceedeth
from
a
moveable
humor
,
and
is
curable
.
If
it
hath
its
originall
from
a
distemper
of
the
brain
,
it
is
easier
cured
,
then
if
it
comes
from
a
proper
distemper
of
the
Eare.
For
the
Cure
,
you
must
consider
what
humor
is
the
cause
of
the
defect
,
and
you
must
purge
the
body
,
and
particularly
the
head
:
you
must
use
Revulsions
,
as
Cauteries
,
Vesicatories
,
Gargarisms
,
and
Masticatories
:
to
be
breise
,
these
and
other
remedyes
effectuall
against
this
distemper
,
may
be
sought
out
of
the
Chapter
treating
of
cold
distempers
of
the
brain
.
Sulphurous
and
Bituminous
Baths
are
very
profitable
especially
if
the
Patient
wear
a
cap
made
of
Spunge
;
and
the
water
pumped
upon
his
head
.
It
is
good
also
to
make
fomentations
of
these
following
hearbs
,
viz.
Mallows
,
Marjarom
,
Hysop
,
Centuary
,
Mints
,
Camomell
,
Rosemary
,
Peneroyall
,
Sage
;
boyle
them
in
white
Wine
,
and
foment
the
Eare
:
If
you
would
have
it
stronger
,
add
a
dram
of
the
pulp
of
Coloquintida
,
and
as
much
white
Hellebore
to
the
fomentation
,
a
sumigation
made
with
a
Punnell
of
the
same
decoction
,
doth
wonderfully
peirce
the
Cavity
of
the
Eare.
Or
make
a
Loafe
of
bread
,
and
mโx
with
the
meale
a
good
quantity
of
Carawayseeds
,
Bayberryes
,
Juniper
berryes
,
Nutmegs
,
and
Cloves
:
and
when
it
is
baked
,
cut
it
in
the
middle
,
and
apply
it
hot
to
the
Eare
affected
,
or
to
both
if
need
be
,
and
if
you
think
it
not
of
sufficient
force
,
dip
it
first
into
the
spirit
of
Wine
;
this
will
serve
instead
of
a
somentation
.
After
which
you
must
put
some
Oyle
or
Liquors
proper
to
the
Cure
into
the
Eare
,
as
Oyle
of
Bitter
Almonds
,
Castor
,
Rue
,
&c.
The
Chymicall
Oyles
of
Rosemary
,
Marjarom
,
Sage
,
Fennell
,
Spike
,
and
Cloves
,
which
are
too
hot
to
be
used
alone
,
but
may
with
good
successe
be
mixed
with
other
Oyles
and
applyed
.
Take
the
water
of
an
Ash
,
(
that
runneth
out
at
the
end
,
the
other
being
in
the
fire
)
one
ounce
:
The
dripping
of
a
silver
Eel
,
(
rosted
upon
a
spit
)
as
much
;
a
fruple
of
any
of
the
beforenamed
Chymicall
Oyles
,
or
a
drachm
of
the
other
;
mix
them
and
drop
it
into
the
Eare.
Observe
this
generall
rule
,
that
you
drop
nothing
cold
into
the
Eare
,
and
that
you
stop
the
Eare
afterwards
with
Wooll
,
or
Cotton
,
and
a
little
Muโk
into
it
.
Somtimes
the
sense
of
hearing
is
prejudiced
by
a
preternaturall
noise
in
the
Eares
;
the
causes
of
which
are
many
,
but
cheifly
a
wind
or
vapour
sent
thither
from
other
parts
,
or
bred
there
.
It
cometh
from
all
parts
of
the
body
,
when
it
happeneth
in
a
Fever
,
and
this
(
according
to
Hippocrates
)
is
deadly
.
Somtimes
it
cometh
from
the
Stomach
,
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Midriffe
and
Womb
:
witnesse
Vomitings
,
Hypocondriak
,
Melancholly
,
and
fits
of
the
Mother
,
which
for
the
most
part
are
attended
with
a
noise
in
the
Eares
.
Somtimes
it
is
caused
by
Flegme
,
contained
in
the
Eare
,
for
they
that
are
thick
of
hearing
,
are
seddome
free
from
a
noise
in
the
Head
:
a
blow
,
great
sound
,
or
an
Ulcer
in
the
head
may
cause
a
noise
in
the
head
,
a
hot
distemper
in
the
head
filleth
the
Arteries
of
the
Eare
with
much
spirit
,
and
causeth
a
noise
.
If
the
noise
hath
been
of
long
continuance
,
it
is
hardly
Cured
:
if
it
proceed
from
Flegme
,
Obstructing
the
passage
,
't
is
doubtfull
that
it
will
end
in
deafnesse
.
If
you
judge
it
curable
,
you
may
find
the
cure
in
this
Chapter
,
for
it
differeth
not
in
cure
from
dullnesse
of
hearing
in
some
Cases
;
and
agreeth
with
the
cure
of
the
paine
of
the
Eares
in
others
.
But
this
remember
,
that
if
it
come
by
consent
of
the
Stomach
,
Liver
,
&c
:
take
away
the
cause
and
the
effect
ceaseth
.
Pain
in
the
Eares
is
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
and
is
caused
by
cold
winds
,
cold
baths
,
or
the
like
,
or
by
a
hot
distemper
,
so
it
be
accompanied
with
a
defluxion
of
humors
,
otherwise
heat
is
freindly
to
those
Nervous
,
and
Membranous
parts
.
The
cold
matter
which
causeth
pain
is
Flegme
,
water
or
cold
wind
,
either
coming
from
without
,
or
from
some
inferiour
part
within
.
The
hot
matter
is
Choler
or
blood
.
There
may
be
other
evident
causes
of
pain
,
as
wounds
,
Contusions
,
Ulcers
,
or
breaking
of
an
impostume
,
or
any
hard
or
pricking
thing
got
into
the
Eare.
You
may
judge
the
distemper
to
be
from
cold
,
if
a
cold
cause
hath
preceded
,
and
hot
medicines
profit
;
the
contrary
declareth
a
hot
distemper
;
If
Flegme
cause
the
paine
,
the
Eare
and
Head
will
be
heavy
,
some
Rhume
falleth
upon
some
other
part
;
the
distemper
is
taken
in
cold
wether
,
or
the
Patient
is
old
.
If
wind
be
the
cause
,
the
paine
is
without
heavinesse
,
nor
is
it
constant
.
If
water
causeth
the
pain
,
the
Patient
is
troubled
with
a
sharp
defluxion
upon
the
Teeth
,
Eyes
,
Breast
,
&c.
If
it
come
from
Choler
;
the
paine
is
sharp
and
pricking
,
cold
things
give
ease
,
the
body
is
Cholerick
,
&c.
An
inflammation
is
accompanied
with
a
great
heating
paine
,
the
parts
adjacent
are
very
red
,
and
there
is
joyned
a
Fever
.
A
wound
maketh
it self
known
by
blood
issuing
out
at
the
Eare
,
and
an
Ulcer
by
filth
.
But
somtimes
there
issueth
filth
from
an
Impostume
in
the
braine
,
but
this
may
be
distinguished
by
Head
ach
preceding
,
and
other
signes
of
Impostume
;
the
filth
cometh
away
in
great
abundance
at
first
,
and
decreaseth
by
degrees
.
If
an
Ulcer
follow
an
Impostume
in
the
Eare
,
the
symptomes
of
an
Impostume
going
before
declareth
it
.
If
the
Ulcer
come
by
defluxion
,
there
is
a
burning
and
shooting
paine
,
and
the
matter
issueth
forth
by
little
and
constantly
.
If
the
Ulcer
be
in
the
bone
,
the
matter
is
thin
,
and
yellow
,
and
hath
continued
long
:
the
deeper
the
Ulcer
is
,
the
more
matter
issueth
;
the
fouler
it
is
,
the
more
and
thicker
is
the
matter
:
If
it
be
Virulent
the
matter
is
thin
,
if
putrid
,
it
stinketh
much
;
if
it
corrode
,
blood
accompanieth
the
matter
;
If
it
continue
very
long
,
it
groweth
Fistulous
,
and
then
the
matter
is
Virulent
and
the
flesh
groweth
hard
.
If
the
distemper
proceed
from
a
cold
cause
,
with
or
without
matter
,
you
must
use
the
medicines
,
prescribed
for
the
cure
of
deafnesse
,
especially
fomentations
,
and
fumes
,
with
warme
oyles
dropt
into
the
Eare
,
and
if
it
be
with
matter
you
must
evacuate
,
and
purge
the
humor
.
If
the
distemper
come
from
a
hot
cause
without
matter
,
use
cooling
Topicks
.
If
it
hath
a
Cholerick
matter
,
you
must
revel
the
humor
by
Phlebotomy
,
and
with
cooling
drinks
and
Juleps
allay
the
preternaturall
heat
of
the
Liver
,
but
this
having
dependancy
to
the
diseases
of
the
head
,
proceding
from
a
hot
cause
;
also
to
the
inflammation
of
the
Eare
,
I
leave
the
ingenious
there
to
seek
the
Cure
.
The
inflammation
of
the
Eare
is
cured
by
making
revulsion
(
after
the
administration
of
an
Emollient
Clister
)
by
blood-letting
;
and
this
must
be
done
,
in
as
great
a
quantity
as
the
violentnesse
of
the
disease
requireth
,
and
the
strength
,
age
and
constitution
of
the
Patient
permitteth
:
open
the
Head-Vein
on
the
same
side
the
inflammation
is
.
If
the
stoppage
of
the
Termes
hath
been
prejudiciall
,
open
the
Saphaena
,
or
the
Hemorrhoids
if
you
see
occasion
.
Revulsions
by
frictions
and
ligatures
of
the
Armes
and
Thighs
;
Cupping
the
Shoulders
and
Back
with
or
without
scarifications
,
are
often
successefull
;
a
Cupping-glass
fixed
behind
the
Eares
with
Scarification
hath
been
attended
with
admirable
successe
:
and
Horsleeches
applyed
to
the
same
place
,
hath
been
no
lesse
effectuall
.
If
you
find
the
Cure
difficult
,
the
opening
of
the
Arteries
in
the
Temples
is
good
to
prevent
hot
and
windy
bloud
,
which
doth
much
feed
the
inflammation
;
you
must
often
purge
Choller
,
and
temper
the
Humours
with
cooling
Juleps
thus
:
Take
of
Lettice
,
Purflane
,
and
Sorrel
Water
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
the
Water
of
Plantane
and
Succory
,
of
each
three
ounces
;
of
Syrup
of
Lemons
two
ounces
;
the
Syrup
of
Erratick
Poppies
one
ounce
;
mixe
them
,
and
make
a
Julep
;
take
sour
spoonsuls
morning
and
evening
.
You
may
foment
the
Ear
with
the
decoction
of
cooling
and
piercing
Hearbs
,
and
let
the
Patient
receive
the
same
with
a
Funnel
:
then
come
to
the
use
of
Topicks
,
which
have
power
to
mitigate
pain
thus
:
Take
of
Breast
milk
two
Ounces
,
the
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
Water-Lillies
,
of
each
one
ounce
and
an
half
:
the
Water
of
an
Ashen
stick
before
mentioned
,
one
ounce
,
the
White
of
an
Egg
beaten
to
water
half
an
ounce
mixe
them
and
drop
some
into
the
Ear
,
after
you
have
formented
and
famed
it
.
If
you
would
have
it
repelling
,
add
Vinegar
of
Roses
to
it
,
but
use
it
with
moderation
,
lest
you
drive
the
Humours
to
the
Brain
.
If
the
vehemency
of
the
pain
constrain
you
to
make
use
of
stupefactive
Medicines
,
mixea
scruple
of
Opium
,
or
an
ounce
of
Oyl
of
Poppy
seeds
,
with
your
former
Medicine
;
but
be
careful
also
in
the
use
of
this
,
lest
you
offend
the
Brain
.
If
you
see
occasion
for
resolving
Medicines
,
the
Oyls
of
Camomil
,
Dill
,
sweet
Almonds
,
and
Violets
;
all
or
either
of
them
may
be
mixed
with
your
aforesaid
Medicine
.
If
after
all
this
you
find
that
the
Imposthume
will
come
to
suppuration
,
you
must
help
Nature
therein
thus
.
Take
the
leaves
of
Mallows
,
Nightshade
,
Camomel
,
and
Dill
,
of
each
one
handful
:
bruise
them
well
in
a
STONE-MORTAR
;
boil
them
in
a
quart
of
milk
to
the
consumption
of
half
:
add
the
Musilage
of
Line-seed
,
Fleabane
,
and
Fenugreek
seeds
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
Ducks
and
Hens
Grease
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
the
Oyl
of
Camomel
,
Roses
,
and
Violets
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
with
the
crum
of
White
Bread
,
as
much
as
is
sufficient
,
make
a
Cataplasm
,
and
apply
it
.
After
the
Imposthume
is
broken
,
and
the
Matter
run
out
,
you
must
apply
cleansing
Medicines
,
viz.
Mixe
Barley
water
,
and
Honey
of
Roses
,
and
drop
it
into
the
Ear.
If
the
Humour
be
sharp
,
and
cause
an
Ulcer
,
you
must
,
after
the
use
of
needful
Purgings
,
necessary
bleeding
,
and
all
requisite
Evacuations
,
make
use
of
cleansing
and
drying
Topicks
.
Take
of
the
juyce
of
Reets
,
and
sow-Bread
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
Horehound
,
Smallage
,
and
Wormwood
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
Myrrh
,
and
Frankincense
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
;
Saffron
,
and
Verdegreece
,
of
each
one
scruple
;
White
Wine
,
and
Honey
,
of
each
four
Ounces
;
boil
it
,
and
scum
it
,
till
the
Wine
be
consumed
:
then
drop
of
it
into
the
Ear
2
or
3
times
in
a
day
.
After
you
have
well
cleansed
it
,
you
must
come
to
cicatrize
it
:
Take
of
the
Powder
of
Galls
,
and
Burnt
Allum
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
Frankincense
,
and
Myrrh
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
;
Gum
of
Juniper
,
and
Sarcocol
,
of
each
one
seruple
;
make
them
into
fine
Powder
,
and
mixe
them
with
White-Wine
,
and
drop
it
into
the
Bar.
If
you
find
that
it
is
sed
by
defluxion
,
you
must
labour
to
divert
the
deflaxion
,
as
you
are
taught
in
the
9th
Chapter
of
this
Book
.
If
the
Ulcet
be
very
foul
,
you
must
mixe
Unguentum
Aegyptiacum
,
and
the
Rust
of
Iron
powdered
with
White-Wine
,
and
drop
it
into
the
Ear.
If
the
Humor
be
sharp
,
and
you
find
sharp
Medicines
disagreeing
to
it
,
make
use
of
the
Oyls
,
and
yelks
of
Eggs
,
of
sweet
and
bitter
Almonds
.
If
any
thing
be
fallen
into
the
Ear
,
you
must
endeavour
to
get
it
out
with
an
Ear-picker
,
but
beware
lest
you
thrust
it
further
.
If
you
cannot
prevail
so
,
inject
Oyl
into
the
Ear
,
to
relax
it
,
that
it
may
the
easier
come
out
,
and
anoint
the
Ear-picker
with
Birdlime
,
and
see
if
by
that
means
you
can
draw
it
out
.
Provoke
sneesing
,
with
the
Mouth
and
Nostrils
shut
,
and
by
that
means
it
may
be
forced
out
.
If
a
Flea
,
being
got
into
the
Ear
,
procure
pain
and
trouble
to
the
Patient
,
make
a
little
Ball
of
Dogs
hair
,
and
put
it
into
the
Ear
,
and
the
Flea
will
come
into
it
.
If
by
swimming
,
or
washing
the
Head
,
Water
getteth
into
the
Ear
,
and
is
the
cause
of
pain
,
hop
on
the
contrary
foot
to
that
side
,
and
hold
your
Ear
downwards
,
or
put
in
a
dry
Spunge
into
the
Ear
,
and
as
it
groweth
moist
take
it
out
,
and
put
in
more
till
you
be
freed
.
CHAP.
XVIII
.
Of
the
Diseases
of
the
Nostrils
.
AS
God
and
Nature
hath
wisely
instituted
and
ordained
this
Member
,
as
needful
and
official
to
the
service
of
the
body
,
so
the
Corruption
of
Nature
(
by
our
Fall
)
hath
brought
many
Distempers
therein
,
viz.
the
Ulcer
of
the
Nostrils
,
and
Ozaena
;
Sarcoma
,
and
Polypus
;
the
loss
of
Smelling
in
the
Nose
,
the
Coryza
,
Sneezing
,
and
Bleeding
;
the
last
of
which
I
shall
treat
of
in
a
Chapter
by
it self
,
and
speak
briefly
of
the
rest
in
this
Chapter
.
And
first
of
the
Ulcer
of
the
Nostrils
;
which
,
whilest
it
is
new
,
is
called
the
simple
Ulcer
of
the
Nostrils
:
when
it
is
old
,
it
is
called
Ozaena
.
The
cause
of
the
simple
Ulcer
,
is
either
internal
,
or
external
:
Internal
,
when
a
sharp
or
salt
Humour
floweth
to
the
pare
:
External
,
either
by
a
Wound
or
Contusion
.
The
cause
of
Ozaena
,
is
a
malignant
and
acrimonious
Humour
,
or
the
other
Ulcer
neglected
.
They
are
easily
known
and
distinguished
one
from
the
other
:
The
simple
Ulcer
causeth
but
little
pain
,
sometimes
sends
forth
bloud
,
and
sometimes
casteth
forth
a
Scab
.
The
Ozaena
is
more
painfuls
foul
,
and
stinking
,
anoying
not
onely
the
Patient
,
but
all
that
come
near
him
.
If
it
turn
to
a
Cancer
,
it
eateth
the
Gristle
of
the
Nose
,
and
destroyeth
the
Pallat
,
and
for
the
most
part
hath
its
original
from
the
French
Pox
,
or
Elephantiasis
.
The
New
Ulcer
may
be
easily
cured
;
the
old
one
hardly
.
If
it
turn
to
a
Cancer
it
is
never
cured
:
If
it
hath
its
original
from
the
French
Pox
,
or
Elephantiasis
,
it
cannot
be
cured
,
till
the
Disease
be
cured
.
For
the
Cure
,
you
must
use
convenient
Evacuations
,
Purging
and
Bleeding
,
Revulsions
and
Derivations
by
Cupping
,
Vesicatories
,
or
Causticks
applyed
to
the
hinder
parts
;
and
then
strengthen
the
head
,
and
withall
appoint
a
good
Diet
,
which
may
hinder
and
asswage
the
sharpness
of
the
Humour
.
This
being
done
,
if
the
Ulcer
be
covered
with
a
Scab
,
you
must
endeavour
to
take
it
off
gently
,
and
not
rashly
,
for
fear
of
a
Defluxion
of
Humours
;
and
to
that
end
you
must
mollifie
the
Scab
with
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
or
fresh
Butter
,
and
warm
Water
.
Then
you
must
cleanse
it
,
by
washing
it
with
Barley
Water
,
and
if
you
mix
a
little
Oyl
of
Roses
with
it
,
it
will
not
be
the
worse
:
then
apply
Medicines
,
which
are
astringent
,
as
the
Oytment
of
Tutty
,
the
white
Oyntment
,
more
commonly
known
by
the
Latine
Name
,
Unguentum
Album
,
the
Oyl
of
the
yolks
of
Eggs
;
the
Oyntment
of
Tobacco
is
good
,
being
carefully
applyed
.
Ozaena
must
be
carefully
cleansed
;
Take
of
Smiths
water
half
a
pint
,
Barley
water
four
ounces
,
the
juyce
of
Plantane
and
Wormwood
,
of
each
two
Ounces
:
boil
them
together
,
till
half
be
consumed
,
and
scum
it
carefully
:
then
put
in
sour
Ounces
of
Honey
of
Roses
,
let
the
diseased
often
snuff
it
up
into
his
Nostrils
wherein
the
ulcer
is
.
You
may
make
an
Oyntment
more
powerful
for
this
purpose
thus
:
Take
of
the
juyce
of
unripe
Grapes
half
an
Ounce
,
the
Peels
and
Flowers
of
Pomegranates
,
of
each
three
drachms
;
of
Myrrh
,
Allum
,
and
Laudanum
,
of
each
two
drachms
;
Aloes
,
Chalcitis
,
and
Frankincense
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
the
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
Myrtles
,
of
each
two
Ounces
,
with
red
Wax
as
much
as
sufficeth
,
to
make
an
unguent
,
which
apply
to
the
ulcer
.
Or
you
may
wash
it
with
Allum
Water
;
and
if
it
want
cleansing
,
mixe
a
little
Aegyptiacum
with
it
.
The
sublimate
Water
doth
dry
and
cleanse
wonderfully
,
and
you
may
prepare
it
thus
:
Take
of
Crude
Sublimate
in
Powder
twelve
Grains
,
put
it
into
four
Ounces
of
Plantane
water
,
and
boil
it
to
the
consumption
of
half
.
Now
and
then
touch
it
with
this
water
;
When
it
is
throughly
cleansed
,
you
must
prepare
Medicines
,
which
are
powerful
to
dry
it
up
.
Rondeletius
commendeth
the
smoke
of
a
Wax
Candle
taken
up
into
the
Nose
often
:
or
you
may
make
a
Fume
thus
:
Take
of
Labdanum
,
Benjamin
,
Hypocistis
,
Maslich
,
Myrrh
,
Red
Storax
,
and
Calamith
,
Sandarach
,
Frankincense
Bark
,
and
red
Arsenick
,
of
each
three
drachms
,
with
surpentine
sufficient
to
make
Troches
,
of
which
let
the
Patient
take
the
Fume
Morning
and
Evening
.
Sarcoma
and
Polypus
is
a
preternatural
Tumor
,
or
Excrescency
of
Flesh
in
the
Nose
:
The
first
groweth
without
shape
,
like
proud
flesh
;
but
Polypus
springeth
as
it
were
from
small
Roots
,
and
hangeth
down
to
the
lower
part
of
the
Nose
,
and
sometimes
out
of
the
Nose
.
If
it
be
rooted
high
,
it
sometimes
falleth
into
the
passage
that
goeth
into
the
Pallat.
It
is
a
spungie
soft
flesh
,
white
,
red
,
or
blew
,
and
it
is
fuller
at
the
full
of
the
Moon
,
then
at
the
Change
.
The
cause
of
both
is
a
gross
Humour
coming
from
the
Brain
,
mixed
with
bloud
.
The
first
,
for
the
most
part
,
is
easily
cured
.
The
second
,
with
more
difficulty
:
The
lower
it
is
rooted
in
the
Nostril
,
the
easier
may
the
Cure
be
effected
:
If
it
be
soft
,
white
,
or
red
,
it
is
more
easily
cured
:
but
if
hard
and
blew
,
it
is
dangerous
.
You
must
prescribe
a
dry
and
attenuating
Diet
:
you
must
purge
the
Humour
you
see
abound
;
you
must
revel
,
and
repel
the
Humours
,
and
strengthen
the
Head
,
as
you
are
taught
in
the
aforegoing
Chapters
.
Then
you
must
apply
such
Medicines
to
the
Tumour
as
are
drying
and
astringent
:
If
it
may
not
be
thus
cured
,
it
must
be
taken
off
by
a
Caustick
,
or
by
Incision
.
But
apply
the
mildest
Medicines
first
;
Take
the
Juyce
of
the
three
sorts
of
Pomegranates
;
beil
it
to
the
thickness
of
Honey
;
apply
it
often
to
the
Excrescencie
.
Then
make
use
of
this
Sublimate
Water
spoken
of
before
in
the
Ulcer
.
This
following
Water
is
commended
by
Weckerus
.
Take
of
unripe
Grapes
three
pound
,
Pomegranate
Peels
and
Flowers
,
and
Sumach
,
of
each
two
pound
;
macerate
them
in
Vinegar
,
and
distil
them
:
then
add
to
the
water
thus
distilled
,
Allum
one
pound
,
Vitriol
three
Ounces
:
Distil
them
again
,
and
with
this
water
often
touch
the
Tumor
,
for
it
hath
a
great
power
to
dry
and
consume
it
.
You
may
make
it
stronger
,
if
you
see
occasion
,
by
adding
red
Arsenick
,
and
Sandarach
to
it
:
Mercury
precipitate
,
and
applyed
with
Honey
of
Roses
,
with
a
Tent
,
is
good
.
You
may
make
an
Ointment
thus
:
Take
of
Letharge
of
Silver
one
drachm
,
Ceruss
three
drachms
,
Pomegranate
Peels
and
Allum
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
Verdegreese
,
and
Orpiment
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
powder
them
,
and
in
good
old
white
wine
,
boil
them
to
the
thickness
of
Honey
:
put
in
a
little
Oyl
of
Myrrh
,
and
reserve
it
in
a
Leaden
Box
,
and
use
it
as
the
forenamed
Medicines
.
The
sence
of
Smelling
is
either
diminished
,
abolished
,
or
depraved
;
either
by
Obstruction
,
or
Astriction
.
Cold
,
moist
,
and
Flegmatick
Distempers
,
may
either
dull
or
abolish
the
sence
of
Smelling
:
Hence
Defluxions
,
upon
those
parts
,
do
hinder
the
sence
.
Flegm
obstructs
and
hindereth
the
sensible
passages
,
viz.
the
Nostrils
,
and
the
Pores
of
the
Brain
,
the
insensible
Passages
,
and
the
Processus
Mamillates
;
or
Sarcoma
,
and
Polypus
,
may
hinder
the
senceby
obstructing
the
Nostrils
.
Smelling
is
hindered
by
Astriction
,
when
Flegm
,
gathered
in
the
fore-part
of
the
Brain
,
doth
compress
the
Mamillares
,
as
was
said
before
in
the
compression
of
the
Optick
Nerves
.
Sometimes
this
Sence
is
depraved
by
some
putrefaction
,
or
ulcer
in
the
Nose
,
or
the
Menings
,
or
some
of
the
parts
official
to
this
Sence
,
and
thereby
hindereth
it
:
or
some
stinking
Vapour
arising
from
some
other
part
of
the
Body
,
may
hinder
the
exercise
of
this
Office
:
as
the
Tongue
is
depraved
by
Choller
,
and
maketh
all
things
that
is
tasted
seem
bitter
,
the
signes
are
these
:
Slimy
Flegm
coming
from
the
Brain
,
and
cold
and
moisture
oppressing
the
Brain
,
shew
Flegm
to
be
the
cause
.
If
it
be
from
Sarcoma
,
or
Polypus
,
it
is
easily
discovered
.
If
the
matter
causing
the
obstruction
be
contained
in
the
Nostrils
,
the
speech
is
hurt
also
:
but
it
is
not
so
,
if
it
be
in
the
Mamillares
,
or
the
fore-part
of
the
Brain
.
The
Cure
is
diverse
,
according
to
the
diversity
of
causes
:
I
shall
say
nothing
to
it
,
onely
give
you
this
general
Rule
:
If
it
come
from
a
Defluxion
,
you
must
proceed
,
as
you
are
instructed
,
in
the
cure
of
a
cold
Catarrh
.
If
from
obstruction
,
or
compression
of
the
Mamillares
,
I
shall
refer
you
to
the
Chapter
,
treating
of
the
cold
distemper
of
the
Brain
,
for
the
Cure
.
In
the
9th
Chapter
of
this
Book
,
treating
of
a
defluxion
,
I
told
you
if
it
fell
into
the
Nose
,
it
is
a
cold
Coryza
:
I
think
it
not
amiss
,
if
I
here
speak
a
word
or
two
of
the
nature
and
cause
of
it
.
This
Defluxion
is
caused
either
by
overmuch
heat
,
which
doth
dissolve
the
crude
Humours
gathered
in
the
fore
Ventricles
of
the
Brain
;
or
else
by
cold
,
which
doth
compress
and
squeez
the
aforesaid
Humours
.
This
is
easily
known
by
the
Humours
flowing
through
the
Nose
;
and
of
all
Catarrhs
,
it
is
the
most
easie
to
cure
.
For
the
Cure
repair
to
the
9th
Chapter
:
to
which
add
the
Vapour
of
Marjarom
,
and
Red-Rose
Leaves
,
boiled
in
Vinegar
,
taken
into
the
Nose
.
It
the
Distemper
be
cold
,
Take
Frankincense
,
Mastich
,
Nigella
,
and
the
like
,
thrown
upon
a
Chafingdish
of
Burning
Coals
,
and
do
as
before
.
I
shal
now
speak
a
word
or
two
of
Neesing
(
vulgarly
sneezing
)
which
,
though
it
be
looked
upon
but
as
a
slight
effect
,
not
worth
mentioning
,
hath
(
by
reason
of
a
sharp
Defluxion
)
proveth
not
onely
troublesome
,
but
dangerous
:
And
hence
came
the
Custom
of
saying
,
God
bless
you
,
God
save
you
,
or
Christ
help
,
when
a
man
sneezeth
.
Sneezing
is
a
swift
motion
of
the
Brain
,
by
which
the
Breath
is
drawn
up
unto
the
Brain
,
to
force
out
that
which
doth
offend
:
for
Sneezing
belongs
to
the
Natural
Expulsive
Faculty
of
the
Brain
,
and
its
Membranes
:
as
it
is
with
the
Cough
which
doth
by
its
natural
motion
,
free
the
Arteries
of
the
Lungs
from
Flegm
,
which
obstructeth
them
.
But
the
proper
cause
of
Sneezing
,
is
a
sharp
Humour
,
which
doth
provoke
the
inside
of
the
Nostrils
,
(
as
't
is
verified
,
by
snuffing
up
sharp
things
into
the
Nostrils
)
which
Humour
cometh
from
the
Brain
,
or
some
inferiour
parts
:
sometimes
the
coldness
of
the
Air
doth
act
upon
,
and
compress
the
Brain
,
and
causeth
a
sharp
Humour
to
fall
into
the
Nostrils
,
which
provoketh
Sternucation
.
The
knowledge
of
this
Disease
is
manifest
:
outward
causes
appear
,
and
by
the
signs
of
the
parts
affected
.
As
to
the
Prognostick
,
it
is
naturally
and
essentially
without
danger
,
accidentally
it
may
prove
hurtful
;
namely
in
the
beginning
of
Coryza
,
it
hindereth
the
concoction
of
the
Humours
by
its
violent
motion
:
sometimes
in
Feavers
it
is
violent
,
and
causeth
bleeding
,
and
is
prejudicial
to
the
Patients
strength
.
In
the
Plurisie
,
and
all
Diseases
of
the
Lungs
,
it
is
bad
,
because
it
violently
pulleth
those
parts
,
and
causeth
a
greater
inflammation
.
Yet
if
there
be
Flegme
got
into
the
Gristles
of
the
Lungs
,
which
a
Cough
cannot
get
out
,
then
is
Sneezing
helpful
.
For
the
most
part
it
is

It
is
good
in
Apoplexies
,
and
always
welcome
to
women
in
travel
,
or
troubled
with
fits
of
the

If
Sternutation
become
Symptomatical
,
you
must
remove
the
external
cause
,
or
internal
,
from
whence
it
cometh
by
Evacuations
,
Derivations
,
Revulsions
,
and
Discussions
:
and
if
you
see
cause
you
must
bleed
,
use
Frictions
,
Ligatures
,
and
Cupping
.
In
the
mean
time
,
you
must
labour
to
take
away
the
sharpness
which
provoketh
to
Stenutation
:
Let
your
Patient
snuff
up
warm
milk
,
warm
water
,
or
warm
water
and
Butter
mingled
,
the
Oyls
of
Roses
,
sweet
Almonds
,
and
Violets
,
which
will
afford
much
comfort
to
the
diseased
,
Of
bleeding
at
the

CHAP.

THis
disease
is
called
Haemorrhagia
,
and
it
is
either
organicall
or
common
,
the
organicall
is
either
the
opening
of
the
Vessels
,
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
;
or
the
rarefaction
of
them
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
The
common
disease
is
also
twofold
,
either
the
breaking
of
the
Vessels
,
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
;
or
the
Erosion
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
:
Blood
offending
either
in
quantity
or
quality
is
the
cause
of
these
distempers
.
Somtimes
externall
causes
concur
,
as
wounds
,
strokes
,
falls
,
vehement
exercise
,
drunkennesse
,
long
staying
in
the
Sun
.
It
is
also
either
Criticall
or
symptomaticall
:
Criticall
,
when
nature
dischargeth
her self
of
superfluous
blood
,
sometimes
in
health
,
sometimes
in
Fevers
,
and
somtimes
from
an
inflammation
of
the
Liver
or
Spleen
.
Symptomaticall
is
,
when
filthy
blood
,
caused
by
the
weaknesse
of
the
Liver
(
in
a
Cronical
distemper
)
is
let
go
by
reason
of
the
debility
of
the
retentive
faculty
;
or
(
by
the
strength
of
the
expulsive
faculty
,
expelled
,
as
unprofitable
and
unnecessary
.
If
the
blood
flowes
by
reason
of
the
vein
broken
,
the
blood
is
thick
,
and
floweth
continually
;
if
the
vein
be
only
opened
,
the
blood
is
thinner
,
and
floweth
by
fits
.
If
the
veines
be
eroded
or
gnawen
asunder
,
the
Patient
hath
had
a
salt
Catarrh
,
or
Ulcer
or
Cacochymia
.
The
causes
are
easily
distinguished
by
their
signes
,
viz:
A
red
face
and
eyes
with
heavinesse
signifieth
plenty
of
blood
If
choler
or
Melancholly
be
the
cause
,
the
blood
is
corrupt
,
and
their
proper
signes
appeare
in
the
body
.
If
the
weaknesse
of
the
retentive
faculty
let
it
go
,
the
body
is
weak
,
the
face
is
pale
,
or
some
disease
hath
preceded
,
which
hath
weakened
the
Liver
.
If
it
cometh
from
an
Artery
,
it
cometh
with
great
force
,
hot
,
pure
and
fresh
;
if
from
a
vein
that
contrary
appeareth
.
If
it
come
from
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
&c
:
pains
,
extensions
,
or
inflammations
in
those
parts
will
declare
it
.
If
blood
issue
out
of
the
Nose
upon
a
judiciall
or
criticall
day
,
it
is
a
good
signe
,
and
is
not
to
be
stopped
,
if
it
flow
not
immoderately
.
But
if
it
happen
in
the
beginning
of
a
disease
,
it
is
symptomaticall
and
dangerous
.
If
the
Liver
be
affected
,
and
the
blood
issue
out
at
the
right
Nostrill
it
is
good
,
and
if
the
Spleen
be
affected
,
if
the
left
Nostrill
bleed
it
is
good
;
the
contrary
to
any
of
these
happening
,
is
bad
.
If
the
Haemorrhagy
continue
long
,
it
cooleth
the
Liver
,
and
causeth
a
Dropsy
:
Likewise
bleeding
is
very
hurtfull
to
Melancholly
and
Flegmatick
people
;
as
also
to
such
as
have
a
quartane
Feaver
.
For
the
Cure
,
you
must
consider
whether
the
Haemorrhagy
be
Criticall
or
Symptomaticall
:
If
it
be
Symptomoticall
,
you
must
endeavour
suddenly
to
stop
it
:
Iโ
it
be
Criticall
,
immoderate
,
and
the
constitution
not
able
to
endure
it
without
prejudice
,
you
must
do
the
like
:
you
must
begin
with
revulsions
,
of
which
blood
letting
is
the
cheise
;
you
must
open
a
veine
on
the
Arme
,
on
the
same
side
the
Nostrill
is
that
bleedeth
;
you
may
draw
as
much
blood
as
the
strength
of
the
Patiens
will
beare
.
Apply
Cupping-glasses
behind
to
the
Shoulders
and
Armes
,
to
the
Hypocondria
:
but
make
use
of
this
,
after
sufficient
blood
letting
,
for
feare
of
an
inflammation
of
the
Liver
.
Forrestus
commendeth
the
application
of
Cupping-glasses
to
the
feet
,
others
commend
an
actuall
Cautery
.
Throw
cold
water
into
the
face
on
a
sudden
,
which
doth
repell
the
blood
.
It
is
good
to
put
a
Cloath
dipt
in
Vinegar
to
the
neck
behind
,
another
to
the
Cods
,
and
to
snuffe
up
Vinegar
and
water
into
the
Nose
,
and
hold
the
mouth
full
of
it
,
as
long
as
any
thing
is
snuffed
up
:
take
up
the
fume
of
Vinegar
thrown
upon
an
hot
Iron
.
Foment
the
Forehead
and
Temples
with
water
and
Vinegar
cold
:
Vinegar
put
into
the
Eare
on
the
same
side
,
on
which
the
bleeding
Nostrill
is
,
is
good
.
Then
apply
a
Cataplasm
,
made
with
the
juice
of
Plantane
,
Nightshade
,
Vinegar
,
of
all
a
like
quantity
,
and
Bolearmenick
sufficient
to
make
a
Cataplasme
,
which
must
be
laid
to
the
forehead
,
from
Temple
to
Temple
.
Or
thus
,
Take
of
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
and
Bolearmenick
,
of
each
a
drachm
,
Rose
Vinegar
,
and
the
juyce
of
Nightshade
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
the
Whites
of
two
Eggs
,
with
the
distilled
water
of
Red-Roses
,
and
Plantane
,
make
a
Cataplasm
;
and
apply
it
as
before
.
If
you
perceive
that
the
veins
of
your
forehead
are
swelled
,
bind
a
six-pence
,
or
a
dry
bean
slit
,
upon
the
root
of
the
Nose
between
the
Eye-brows
.
Also
the
powder
of
Hoggs-dung
blown
into
the
Nose
,
or
mixed
with
the
juyce
of
Nettles
,
and
a
Tent
dipped
in
it
,
and
put
up
into
the
Nose
,
hath
an
excellent
property
to
stop
bleeding
.
Others
commend
the
Powder
of
a
dried
Toad
,
put
in
fine
red
Sarsnet
,
and
put
under
the
Arme-pits
,
or
held
in
the
hand
.
It
is
convenient
likewise
to
make
use
of
those
things
,
which
have
a
faculty
to
close
and
glutinate
the
Veins
,
Take
of
Bolearmenick
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Aloes
,
and
Cobwebs
,
of
each
two
scruples
,
white
Vitriol
,
burnt
Egshels
and
Paper
,
of
each
one
scruple
,
powder
them
finely
,
and
blow
it
up
into
the
Nostrills
:
to
prevent
its
coming
into
the
mouth
,
hold
the
mouth
full
of
cold
water
,
and
Vinegar
;
or
else
you
may
mix
it
with
the
whites
of
Eggs
beaten
to
water
,
and
the
juyce
of
Plantane
,
and
dip
a
Tent
in
it
and
apply
it
.
If
hitherto
you
are
succeslesse
,
you
must
make
use
of
Escharotick
medicines
,
of
which
burnt
Vitriol
claimes
the
preheminency
,
powdered
and
used
as
before
:
but
if
you
feare
to
use
it
alone
,
adde
the
same
quantity
of
Dragons
blood
,
Bolearmenick
,
and
Frankincense
.
A
dram
of
the
powder
of
Spicknard
drunk
in
the
morning
in
broth
is
very
good
.
If
the
disease
doth
often
invade
the
Patient
,
let
him
make
use
of
inward
medicines
,
which
have
power
to
Coagulate
,
thicken
,
coole
,
bind
,
and
restraine
its
motion
:
Take
of
dried
Knotgrasse
,
Fumitory
,
and
Bistort
root
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
the
Troches
of
Spodium
,
and
Amber
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
and
Sal-prunella
,
of
each
half
a
dracbm
;
Corall
,
burnt
Harts-horne
,
and
Bloudstone
,
of
each
one
scruple
,
powder
them
;
Conserve
of
Roses
,
and
Quinces
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
with
the
syrrup
of
the
juyce
of
Plantane
,
make
an
Opiate
,
of
which
let
the
Patient
take
the
quantity
of
a
Nutmeg
,
five
or
six
times
in
a
day
.
To
conclude
,
if
it
be
inveterate
let
the
peccant
humor
be
diligently
evacuated
;
and
if
it
hath
its
originall
from
the
disaffection
of
any
other
part
,
as
the
Liver
Spleen
,
Womb
,
Kidneys
,
&c
:
let
that
be
considered
and
their
Cures
sought
in
their
proper
Chapters

CHAP.
XX.
Of
the
diseases
of
the
Tongue
.
THe
Tongue
being
the
cheife
instrument
of
speech
and
tast
,
a
very
necessary
(
though
unruly
)
member
,
it
is
not
amisse
if
we
consider
,
and
breifly
treat
of
the
distempers
incident
to
it
,
by
which
the
actions
are
hindered
.
This
member
is
subject
to
inflammation
,
and
Tumors
,
which
have
their
originall
either
from
pure
,
Cholerick
,
Flegmatick
,
or
Melancholly
blood
.
If
pure
blood
cause
the
inflammation
,
there
is
paine
felt
with
heat
and
rednesse
of
the
Tongue
,
and
face
:
and
this
is
a
true
Flegmon
.
If
the
Tumor
hath
its
originall
from
Choller
,
then
is
it
called
Erisipelas
;
if
from
Flegme
,
Oedema
;
if
from
Melancholly
Schirrhus
,
all
which
may
be
discovered
by
the
humor
predominate
,
and
shall
be
more
plainly
discovered
in
the
next
Book
,
where
I
shall
treat
of
Tumors
and
their
kinds
.
These
Tumors
are
somtimes
only
troublesome
,
but
do
not
oftentimes
endanger
life
,
except
they
grow
so
big
,
that
the
body
is
endangered
by
suffocation
;
or
a
malignant
melancholly
humor
,
do
breed
a
Cancer
,
which
may
be
discovered
by
its
hardnesse
,
blewnesse
,
and
pricking
paine
:
you
must
begin
the
Cure
with
blood-letting
,
and
(
if
you
can
come
at
it
)
open
the
Veine
under
the
Tongue
,
afterwards
if
you
see
occasion
,
open
a
Vein
in
the
Arme
,
and
draw
away
as
much
blood
,
as
the
Patients
strength
will
permitt
.
You
must
purge
the
humer
with
convenient
purgatives
,
or
administer
a
sharp
Clister
:
Some
do
draw
back
the
humors
by
Cupping-glasses
fastened
to
the
shoulders
,
or
a
little
one
under
the
Chin.
Cooling
and
repelling
Gargarisms
must
be
used
,
and
you
may
prepare
them
thus
.
Take
of
the
distilled
water
or
decoction
of
Plantane
,
Nightshade
,
and
Sorrell
,
of
each
four
ounces
;
the
syrrups
of
Mulberys
,
Pomegranats
,
and
Lemons
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
let
the
Patient
often
wash
his
Tongue
;
Zacutus
Lusitanus
commendeth
the
application
of
Horsleeches
to
the
Tongue
.
If
you
find
it
inclinable
to
suppuration
,
you
must
help
nature
,
for
which
purpose
this
Gargarism
is
good
.
Take
Violet-leaves
,
Mallows
,
and
Parsly
,
of
each
one
handfull
,
whole
Barley
four
ounces
;
Figs
,
and
Raisons
,
stoned
,
of
each
three
ounces
;
the
seed
of
Flax
,
and
Fenugreek
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
Spring
water
a
quart
,
boyle
it
to
the
Consumption
of
halfe
,
straine
it
,
and
add
four
ounces
of
the
syrrup
of
Jujubes
;
use
it
as
the
other
before
.
When
the
humors
are
suppurate
,
if
it
break
not
,
make
incision
,
then
cleanse
it
with
Plantane
water
and
Hony
of
Roses
There
is
another
Tumor
under
the
Tongue
,
called
by
the
Greeks
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
by
the
Latines
Ranula
,
because
it
representeth
the
hinder
part
of
a
Frog
,
also
because
they
that
are
thus
affected
,
when
they
speak
do
Croake
like
a
Frog
.
This
humor
is
a
loose
and
soft
carnosity
under
the
Tongue
,
the
tumor
therein
contained
is
somtimes
hot
,
though
for
the
most
part
it
is
cold
,
slimy
,
and
pituitous
matter
,
which
when
it
is
opened
,
is
like
the
white
of
an
Egge
,
somtimes
mixed
with
yellow
.
This
disease
is
not
(
for
the
most
part
)
accounted
dangerous
,
unlesse
it
be
in
a
Child
,
or
the
humor
be
Cancrous
.
If
nothing
prohibite
,
you
must
begin
the
Cure
with
blood-letting
,
that
so
the
humors
may
be
the
more
obedient
:
you
must
likewise
purge
the
peccant
humors
with
discretion
:
then
you
may
endeavour
to
disolve
and
discusse
the
humor
,
thus
,
Take
of
green
Mugwort
,
and
Hysop
,
of
each
one
handfull
,
Common
Salt
,
and
Salt
Armoniack
,
of
each
two
drachms
:
Galls
one
drachm
,
beat
them
well
together
,
rub
the
place
often
with
it
.
But
if
it
submit
not
to
this
way
of
Cure
,
(
as
it
seldom
doth
)
you
must
open
it
with
a
large
Orifice
,
and
if
you
open
it
on
both
sides
,
it
will
be
the
better
:
Some
commend
a
Cautery
of
iron
;
after
you
have
opened
it
,
squeez
out
the
matter
with
your
finger
,
then
wash
it
with
White-Wine
,
and
Hony
of
Roses
:
or
thus
,
Take
of
White
Wine
,
and
Plantane
water
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
dissolve
a
drachm
of
Allum
,
then
add
twenty
drops
of
the
Oyle
of
Sulphur
,
with
an
ounce
of
syrrup
of
Mulberrys
;
make
a
Lotion
,
and
wash
the
place
till
it
be
whole
.
Somtimes
the
Tongue
suffereth
a
Palsie
,
by
which
it
is
deprived
of
its
motion
:
Somtimes
it
followeth
an
Apoplexy
,
and
somtimes
it
is
joyned
with
a
Palsey
,
which
afflicts
half
the
body
,
somtimes
it
is
only
in
the
Tongue
,
when
its
nerves
and
moving
Muscles
are
prejudiced
by
some
moist
or
pituitous
matter
.
Somtimes
those
Nerves
may
be
cut
,
and
the
Palsie
may
follow
;
Avicen
confirmeth
this
opinion
,
by
an
example
in
his
time
,
of
a
certaine
man
being
cupped
,
and
scarified
,
by
which
the
small
Nerve
was
cut
,
and
caused
a
relaxation
of
the
Tongue
.
If
this
Palsie
follow
an
Apoplexy
,
and
the
other
parts
of
the
body
be
affected
,
and
the
Patient
be
old
,
it
is
incurable
.
If
you
have
hopes
of
recovery
,
you
must
take
away
the
Antecedent
cause
,
lodged
in
the
braine
;
and
you
must
dissolve
and
discusse
the
conjunct
cause
,
viz.
the
humors
which
obstruct
the
Nerves
,
and
hinder
the
motion
of
the
Tongue
.
If
you
see
occasion
,
you
may
make
use
of
Phlebotomy
;
it
profiteth
much
to
open
a
Vein
under
the
Tongue
:
you
may
purge
with
Pills
,
or
Cephalick
Apozems
,
you
may
rarifie
the
humors
by
sweating
drinks
;

CHAP.
XXI
.
Of
the
Diseases
of
the
Teeth
.
THE
Teeth
also
are
subject
to
Distempers
,
viz.
the
ache
,
and
foulness
,
and
rottenness
:
The
Tooth-ache
is
caused
by
a
Flux
of
Humours
,
either
hot
or
cold
,
which
flow
to
the
Membrane
,
Nerves
,
or
to
the
substance
of
the
Teeth
:
Sometimes
Worms
are
bred
in
hollow
and
rotten
Teeth
,
of
an
Excrementitious
Humour
,
which
causeth
pain
:
sometimes
Wind
contained
between
the
Cavity
and
the
Nerve
,
doth
cause
pain
.
The
External
Causes
are
cold
Air
and
South
Winds
:
Likewise
the
debility
of
the
part
,
as
hollowness
,
or
rottenness
of
the
Teeth
do
sometimes
cause
pain
.
Every
cause
is
known
by
its
proper
sign
;
for
if
a
hot
Humour
falling
upon
the
part
be
the
cause
,
the
pain
is
more
violent
,
the
Patient
is
sensible
of
heat
,
about
the
Teeth
and
Gums
;
hot
Medicines
encreasoth
pain
.
Signs
contrary
to
these
,
do
declare
the
Humour
peccant
to
be
cold
.
If
the
cause
be
Worms
,
the
pain
is
with
intermission
,
and
their
motion
may
be
felt
.
If
Wind
cause
the
pain
,
it
is
exceeding
violent
with
sensible
extension
,
yet
quickly
ending
,
after
the
use
of
discussing
Medicines
.
If
it
be
a
hot
Humour
,
that
causeth
the
Tooth-ach
,
it
is
good
to
open
a
Vein
on
the
same
side
,
by
which
the
Humours
are
revelled
;
and
though
the
Humour
be
cold
,
yet
Phlebotomy
may
be
needful
,
to
revel
the
Defluxion
,
but
it
must
be
regulated
according
to
the
age
and
strength
of
the
Patient
.
The
next
day
you
may
purge
the
Humour
that
principally
offendeth
;
Cupping
is
sometimes
requisite
,
and
fโr
the
most
part
Vesicatories
to
the
Neck
and
behind
the
Ears
,
are
successful
to
draw
back
the
Humours
.
Astringent
Medicines
to
the
Temples
are
good
to
hinder
the
Defluxion
;
Of
Plaisters
these
are
good
,
Emplastrum
de
Mastiche
,
ad
Herniam
,
and
Gum
Elemi
,
spread
and
applyed
to
the
Temples
,
and
behind
the
Ears
.
Riverius
commendeth
the
Root
of
Comfry
,
bruised
and
applyed
as
before
,
to
hinder
the
Defluxion
.
Riverius
,
Physitian
to
Henry
the
Great
,
commendeth
this
Plaister
;
Take
of
Cyprus
Nuts
,
Red
Roses
,
Mustard
seed
torrified
,
Mastich
,
and
Terra
Sigillata
,
of
each
one
drachm
and
an
half
:
Steep
them
in
Vinegar
of
Roses
twenty
four
hours
,
and
then
dry
them
;
Opium
three
drachms
,
dissolved
in
Aqua
Vitae
;
Pitch
,
and
Colophonia
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
Yellow
Wax
,
melted
in
the
expressed
Oyls
of
Henbane
,
and
White
Poppy
,
as
much
as
is
sufficient
to
make
an
Emplaister
,
which
must
be
applyed
as
before
.
The
Oyl
of
Bitter
Almonds
,
or
Vinegar
,
put
into
the
Ear
,
is
good
to
stay
the
Defluxion
,
if
it
proceed
from
a
hot
cause
.
If
the
Humours
be
cold
,
put
the
Oyl
of
Rue
,
or
a
Clove
of
Garlick
into
the
Ear
,
and
wash
the
Teeth
with
Red
Wine
,
wherein
is
boiled
the
Roots
of
Bistort
,
Cinquefoil
,
Tormentil
,
the
Leaves
of
Vervain
,
Peny-royal
,
and
Galls
,
and
anoint
the
Checks
,
or
the
Check
on
the
same
side
,
with
the
Oyls
of
Camomel
,
Rue
,
or
Roses
,
to
asswage
the
paโn
.
If
the
Tooth-ache
come
from
a
hot
cause
,
boil
the
Leaves
of
Henbane
,
spotted
Arsmart
,
Housleek
,
and
Nettle
Roots
,
in
Vinegar
,
and
wash
the
Teeth
;
and
to
asswage
pain
,
anoint
the
Checks
with
the
Oyl
of
Lillies
,
Roses
,
sweet
Almonds
:
Or
you
may
make
a
Cataplasm
,
with
Barley
and
Bean
Meal
,
the
juyce
of
Housleek
,
and
Milk
,
and
the
aforesaid
Oyls
;
and
if
you
add
a
small
quantity
of
Opium
to
it
,
it
will
not
be
amiss
.
But
take
this
Caution
,
that
if
the
Checks
be
swelled
,
beware
how
you
apply
Cataplasms
,
lest
the
Humours
be
repelled
,
and
do
fall
into
the
Throat
.
Many
find
ease
by
Masticatories
,
by
which
they
draw
much
Rheum
from
the
Teeth
;
Take
of
Mastich
,
and
Pellitory
of
Spain
,
of
each
a
drachm
;
the
Seed
of
Henbane
,
Satuesacre
,
and
Pepper
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
:
Pouder
them
,
and
sew
them
up
in
Linnen
bags
,
like
little
Balls
,
and
chew
them
.
If
the
Teeth
be
hollow
,
the
Oyls
of
Cloves
,
Camphire
,
Tobacco
,
Box
,
and
of
Hazel
Nuts
,
are
good
,
if
a
little
Lint
,
dipt
in
any
of
them
,
be
put
into
the
hollow
Tooth
.
If
the
pain
cease
not
,
add
Laudanum
,
and
Opium
;
for
sometimes
Narcoticks
,
by
stupefaction
,
do
give
ease
,
when
other
means
have
failed
.
Sometimes
all
Medicines
can
do
no
good
,
till
the
Nerve
in
the
hollow
Tooth
be
burned
with
an
actual
Cautery
.
This
may
be
done
with
Aqua
Fortis
,
or
safer
with
Oyl
of
Vitriol
;
but
be
well
advised
,
before
you
operate
with
things
of
this
Nature
.
If
Worms
be
in
the
Hollow
Tooth
,
Take
of
Aloes
two
scruples
,
Camphire
one
scruple
,
Aqua
Vitae
one
scruple
,
the
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
and
Tobacco
,
of
each
three
drops
;
mix
them
,
and
with
Lint
dipped
in
it
,
apply
it
.
If
all
the
Medicines
prescribed
take
not
away
the
pain
of
the
Hollow
Teeth
you
must
draw
it
out
;
but
beware
of
drawing
Teeth
,
when
the
Defluxion
is
great
,
the
Head
aketh
,
or
the
Gums
swell
:
Draw
not
a
Tooth
violently
,
lest
you
injure
the
Jaw
bone
,
or
cause
a
Flux
of
bloud
,
which
may
prove
dangerous
;
but
if
such
a
thing
should
happen
,
and
the
bloud
not
easie
to
be
stanched
,
you
must
apply
Burnt
Vitriol
to
the
Gum
,
and
dip
Lint
in
Vinegar
,
and
lay
thereon
;
or
if
you
see
cause
,
you
must
burn
the
Nerve
with
an
actual
Cautery
.
Many
people
have
their
Teeth
disfigured
,
by
black
or
yellow
Humours
cleaving
to
them
,
which
in
time
make
them
rotten
:
this
is
caused
sometimes
by
a
Defluxion
of
Humours
into
the
Teeth
,
by
Distempers
of
the
Stomach
,
and
evil
nourishment
thence
arising
:
Sometimes
the
Scurvey
is
the
cause
:
For
the
cure
it
is
requifite
,
that
the
antecedent
cause
be
removed
,
by
purging
and
other
Remedies
;
and
that
things
,
that
corrupt
the
Teeth
be
abstained
from
,
especially
things
that
are
sweet
.
Many
are
the
Medicines
prescribed
to
make
the
seeth
white
;
as
Corral
,
White
and
Red
,
poudered
,
Tobacco
Ashes
,
and
the
Ashes
of
Vine
Branche
,
burnt
,
Burnt
Allum
,
and
many
more
:
that
which
I
have
found
to
be
the
most
excellent
,
is
the
Oyl
of
Vitaiol
,
mixed
with
Spring
Water
,
and
the
Teeth
washed
therewith
:
some
say
the
Oyl
of
Sulphur
hath
the
same
virtue
.
CHAP.
XXII
.
Of
the
Diseases
of
the
Gums
.
SOmetimes
sharp
and
corroding
humours
,
flowing
from
the
Brain
,
or
occasioned
by
some
Disease
of
the
Stomach
,
Liver
,
or
Spleen
,
may
cause
an
Erosion
,
or
exulceration
of
the
Gums
:
this
Disease
is
easily
known
;
you
must
purge
the
humour
offending
,
and
if
the
cause
be
in
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
&c.
you
must
endeavour
to
remove
it
:
the
Flux
must
be
diverted
from
the
part
affected
,
by
convenient
Revulsions
:
Then
you
must
apply
Topical
Medicines
,
that
are
astringent
and
drying
:
Take
of
Acorn
cups
,
Galls
,
and
Allum
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Burnt
Hartshorn
,
Red-Roses
,
of
each
two
scruples
;
Sugar-candy
,
Tobacco-ashes
,
and
Mirrh
,
of
each
one
scruple
,
pouder
them
all
:
the
white
of
one
Egg
,
beaten
to
water
,
with
as
much
honey
as
sufficeth
to
make
it
into
the
form
of
a
soft
Ointment
;
spread
it
upon
a
Rag
,
and
apply
it
.
The
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
or
Sulphur
,
mentioned
in
the
former
Chapter
,
may
be
here
applyed
,
as
there
described
;
or
a
few
drops
,
mixed
with
the
aforegoing
medicine
.
Sometimes
a
fleshy
excressence
is
generated
upon
the
Gum
,
and
in
time
groweth
so
big
,
that
it
hindereth
the
speech
;
Fernelius
saith
,
that
it
hath
its
original
from
an
Ulcer
not
well
healed
:
see
Fern.
lib.
7.
pag.
340.
Sometimes
it
groweth
to
a
Cancer
:
It
must
be
taken
off
by
a
careful
and
well-skilled
Chirurgion
,
and
afterwards
burnt
with
a
Cautery
or
the
Oyl
of
Vitriol
.
Some
cure
it
thus
,
after
purging
,
and
sufficient
revulsions
to
divert
the
defluxion
of
humours
,
they
tye
a
double
thread
about
it
,
close
to
the
Gum
,
so
streight
,
that
in
time
it
falleth
off
;
then
use
your
Cautery
as
before
,
to
prevent
its
growth
again
.
CHAP.

.
Of
the
Ulcers
of
the
mouth
.
IN
the
upper
part
of
the
mouth
,
there
are
certain
Ulcers
bred
,
called
by
the
Greeks
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
we
call
it
Trush
,
vulgarly
Thrush
;
it
is
most
common
to
children
,
presently
after
they
are
born
,
caused
by
the
sharpness
of
the
milk
,
or
by
reason
of
the
milk
corrupting
in
the
Stomach
,
for
want
of
good
digesture
;
sometimes
they
happen
to
men
of
ripe
years
:
they
are
more
or
less
dangerous
,
as
they
exceed
in
quantity
or
quality
:
their
bigness
may
be
discovered
by
the
Eye
;
also
how
deep
,
and
putrid
they
be
:
their
colour
declareth
the
quality
of
the
humour
,
which
is
the
cause
of
them
.
It
Flegme
be
the
cause
,
the
Trush
is
white
,
and
easily
cured
.
If
yellow
,
Choller
is
the
cause
,
and
't
is
harder
to
cure
.
If
red
,
Blood
predominateth
.
If
black
,
Melancholy
is
the
cause
,
and
't
is
the
worst
and
hardest
to
cure
.
It
cometh
sometimes
by
reason
of
a
foul
Disease
in
the
body
,
or
when
the
Patient
hath
got
the
French
Pox.
For
the
Cure
,
if
it
be
in
Children
,
you
must
wash
the
mouth
often
with
Plantane
water
,
and
Sirrup
of
Mulberries
,
or
dryed
Roses
:
if
you
find
that
too
weak
,
add
some
Allum
to
it
:
Let
the
Nurse
eat
such
things
as
are
cooling
and
drying
;
as
Pears
,
Medlers
,
and
Services
,
Marmalade
of
Quinces
is
very
good
in
this
case
;
let
her
likewise
make
use
of
Lettice
,
Purslane
,
and
other
cooling
hearbs
:
and
if
need
require
,
let
her
bleed
and
purge
.
If
your
Patient
be
a
man
,
and
the
Disease
be
stronger
,
and
more
violent
;
after
the
use
of
mild
medicines
,
you
must
proceed
higher
:
If
he
hath
the
French
Pox
,
he
must
be
freed
from
that
,
or
else
you
labour
in
vain
.
Generally
,
you
must
consider
what
humour
offendeth
,
and
purge
that
;
you
must
bleed
,
and
use
such
revulsions
as
necessity
calls
for
.
Then
you
must
make
a
decoction
of
Plantane
,
Bramble
,
Violet
,
and
Strawberry
leaves
,
Pomegranate
flowers
,
&c.
add
Allum
,
and
the
Sirrups
before
mentioned
,
and
wash
the
mouth
with
it
:
if
you
finde
that
it
healeth
not
,
dip
a
little
Lint
in
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
and
often
touch
it
.
If
there
be
an
inflammation
,
add
to
the
before
mentioned
decoction
,
the
juyce
of
Purslane
,
Housseek
,
and
Nightshade
;
or
the
Mucilage
of
Quince-seeds
,
or
the
emulsion
of
the
cold
seeds
.
If
you
find
an
extraordinary
defluxion
,
and
your
Patient
want
sleep
,
administer
Laudanum
;
the
Dose
regulated
according
to
the
age
,
and
strength
of
your
Patient
.
CHAP.
XXIIII
.
Of
a
loose
Columella
,
and
the
inflammation
thereof
,
and
diseases
of
the
Tonsils
.
The
Columella
,
or
the
Uvula
,
is
relaxed
or
loosened
by
a
waterish
humor
falling
upon
it
,
which
doth
so
moisten
and
soften
it
,
that
it
is
extended
to
the
upper
part
of
the
Wezand
,
and
causeth
a
Nauseousness
,
and
the
Patient
often
striveth
to
swallow
it
,
by
which
it
may
be
known
,
as
also
by
looking
into
the
mouth
.
You
must
make
use
of
such
Evacuations
,
Revulsions
,
Derivers
,
&
Repellers
,
as
are
prescribed
in
the
ninth
Chapter
of
a
Catarrh
.
And
you
must
make
use
of
Gargarisms
which
restrain
and
dry
.
Take
of
Plantane
,
Purslane
,
and
Shepheards
purse
,
of
each
one
handful
,
Cyprus
nuts
,
Pomegranate
flowers
,
and
Red
roses
of
each
one
ounce
;
Galls
and
Allum
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
boile
them
in
a
quart
of
Spring
water
,
to
the
consumption
of
half
:
strain
it
out
,
and
add
to
it
,
Bolearmenick
a
drachm
;
Sirrup
of
Mulberys
,
and
Hony
of
Roses
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
gargarise
the
mouth
therewith
.
Powders
are
better
,
which
have
an
astringent
and
drying
property
:
Take
the
Roots
of
Bistort
,
flowerdeluce
,
and
Tormentil
,
the
Flowers
of
Pomegranates
,
and
Red
Roses
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
Burnt
Allum
,
and
long
Pepper
,
of
each
one
scruple
:
make
them
into
fine
powder
,
and
(
depressing
the
tongue
)
blow
it
upon
the
Uvula
.
If
this
doth
not
perfect
the
cure
,
the
superfluity
must
be
cut
off
;
this
operation
must
be
performed
very
warily
;
for
if
you
cut
too
much
,
it
will
be
prejudicial
to
the
speech
:
if
there
be
an
inflammation
in
the
Columella
,
you
must
extenuate
such
accidents
,
before
you
cut
it
,
lest
a
greater
inflamation
follow
,
or
a
flux
of
blood
:
if
the
Uvula
be
greater
at
the
bottome
then
it
is
at
the
top
,
then
it
is
fitter
and
safer
to
cut
.
If
the
Uvula
be
onely
inflammed
,
you
must
make
use
of
such
medicines
as
are
prescribed
for
the
cure
of
the
inflammation
of
the
tongue
.
There
are
other
distempers
of
the
throat
,
viz.
the
inflammation
and
Ulcers
of
the
Tonsills
or
Almonds
of
the
throat
,
occasioned
by
a
defluxion
of
crude
,
Phlegmatick
and
Viscid
humors
,
mixed
with
blood
;
or
by
excessive
drinking
of
wine
,
or
strong
liquors
or
by
a
greedy
devouring
of
meat
:
they
who
are
thus
afflicted
,
swallow
with
much
difficulty
,
and
pain
:
and
many
times
have
a
Feaver
.
For
the
cure
,
administer
a
cooling
Clister
,
open
the
Vein
under
the
tongue
;
and
if
blood
abound
,
open
the
Cephalick-Vein
in
the
arme
:
use
all
other
convenient
revulsions
.
Then
make
a
Cataplasme
of
Barly
meal
,
the
Seed
of
Flax
and
Fenugreek
,
and
the
Leaves
of
Mallows
bruised
,
with
new
Milke
sufficient
:
and
apply
it
to
the
throat
.
Then
use
astringent
Gangarisms
,
you
have
examples
enough
in
the
foregoing
Chapters
.
If
the
inflammation
increaseth
;
and
the
pain
be
sharp
and
vehement
in
the
Evening
,
then
expect
suppuration
:
then
you
must
surther
it
,
by
gargarising
with
a
decoction
made
of
Hysop
,
Figs
,
and
the
Seeds
of
Marsh
mallows
;
or
with
aquamulla
.
When
it
is
perfectly
rotten
,
squeez
it
gently
that
the
matter
may
run
forth
,
or
else
open
it
with
a
sharp
instrument
,
and
let
the
Patient
hold
his
head
down
,
that
the
matter
may
the
better
run
out
:
then
wash
it
again
with
aquamulsa
,
till
it
be
healed
.
For
the
cure
of
the
Ulcers
of
the
Tonsils
,
you
must
observe
the
same
rules
,
prescribed
for
the
cure
of
the
Ulcers
of
the
mouth
.

Of
the
Quinzie
.
ANgina
,
or
the
Quinzie
is
a
disease
of
the
Jaws
and
Throat
,
by
which
breathing
and
Swallowing
are
hindred
,
withour
defect
of
the
breast
and
Lungs
:
there
are
two
sorts
of
Quinzyes
,
Legitimate
and
Bastard
:
Legitimate
Quinzy
is
accompanied
with
a
feaver
,
and
inflammation
of
the
part
;
which
Galen
,
and
the
antient
Greekes
,
have
divided
into
four
sorts
:
the
first
they
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
when
the
inflammation
is
in
the
inward
&
proper
Muscles
of
the
Larynx
:
the
second
they
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
&
the
outward
Muscles
of
the
Larynx
are
in
flammed
:
the
third
,
they
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
and
the
interiour
muscles
of
the
pharynx
are
inflamed
:
the
last
they
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
because
the
exerior
muscels
of
the
Jaws
are
inflamed
;
a
Bastard
Angina
or
Quinzy
cometh
without
a
feaver
.
The
cause
of
the
first
,
is
blood
either
pure
or
mixed
with
Choler
,
flegm
,
or
melancholly
;
flowing
from
the
head
to
the
jugular
veins
:
the
cause
of
the
Bastard
Angina
is
caused
by
much
flegme
falling
into
the
jugular
veins
,
and
by
its
glewinesse
obstructing
the
passage
of
the
spirits
;
or
by
a
Tumor
in
the
Vertebrae
of
the
neck
,
caused
by
a
deflux
of
cold
flegm
removing
the
Vertebrae
from
its
proper
seat
or
causing
a
luxation
thereof
,
by
loosening
their
Nerves
,
and
making
them
slippery
between
the
joynts
:
or
lastly
this
may
happen
by
some
fall
or
stroak
or
some
external
cause
.
The
Legitimate
Quinzy
may
be
known
by
the
difficult
swallowing
and
breathing
,
without
fault
of
the
breast
or
Lungs
;
pain
about
the
Jaws
and
threat
,
rednesse
heat
and
a
feaver
:
their
sorts
may
be
distinguished
by
their
proper
signes
.
In
the
first
,
there
is
great
hinderance
of
respiration
,
the
patient
is
almost
strangled
,
cannot
breathe
except
he
open
his
mouth
and
hold
his
neck
streight
.
In
the
second
,
there
is
lesse
difficulty
of
breathing
but
greater
of
swallowing
,
especially
of
drink
which
flyeth
out
at
the
nose
.
In
the
third
,
there
is
some
red
tumor
about
the
Jaws
,
less
difiulty
of
brething
,
then
in
the
first
,
but
more
then
in
the
second
.
The
last
doth
hinder
the
breath
but
little
,
or
not
at
all
,
the
outward
parts
of
the
neck
are
red
and
painfull
.
The
bastard
Angina
may
be
known
by
the
abundance
of
flegm
,
and
humors
flowing
to
the
mouth
:
If
it
comes
by
Luxation
,
the
motion
of
the
head
and
neck
is
hurt
,
and
a
preternatural
cavity
appeareth
in
the
neck
:
I
shall
not
need
,
to
spend
time
,
to
shew
the
signes
of
every
distinct
humor
predominating
:
reason
,
or
other
parts
of
this
book
will
informe
you
.
A
Legitimate
Quinzy
is
an
acute
disease
,
and
very
dangerous
,
for
want
of
freedome
in
respiration
;
therefore
the
first
is
worst
,
and
the
patient
in
most
danger
of
strangling
:
the
other
are
more
or
lesse
dangerous
as
they
more
or
lesse
hinder
respiration
.
If
the
matter
fall
upon
the
Lungs
,
or
the
swelling
vanish
away
,
without
critical
or
artificial
Evacuation
,
it
is
very
dangerous
,
and
for
the
most
part
deadly
.
If
the
patient
foame
at
the
mouth
,
it
is
a
signe
of
death
saith
Hippocrates
in
his
43
Aphorism
,
because
it
is
a
signe
of
streightnesse
and
violent
heat
about
the
heart
,
which
squeezeth
the
moisture
out
of
the
Lungs
,
and
sendeth
it
to
the
mouth
in
a
foame
.
Every
Quinzy
requireth
a
hasty
and
speedy
cure
,
for
it
sometimes
killeth
in
one
day
:
read
Fernelius
Lib
:
5
pag.
284.
Let
the
physitian
open
the
Cephalick
Vein
,
and
,
if
the
body
be
naturally
plethorick
,
and
blood
the
cause
of
the
disease
,
draw
as
much
as
the
Patients
strength
will
bear
,
and
reiterate
Phlebotomy
,
according
as
necessity
requireth
:
give
a
Glister
first
,
or
after
,
or
both
,
or
as
often
as
need
requireth
;
you
must
speedily
make
use
of
other
revulsions
,
as
cupping
glasses
with
scarification
to
the
shoulders
,
vesicatories
,
frictions
,
and
ligatures
to
the
lower
parts
;
purges
must
be
administred
,
and
if
you
find
the
case
desperate
,
you
need
not
Question
the
time
of
the
day
:
Trallianus
reporteth
that
he
was
forced
to
open
a
Vein
,
and
to
purge
the
same
day
,
or
else
his
Patient
had
bin
strangled
.
To
derive
the
humor
from
the
part
,
it
is
good
to
open
the
Veins
under
the
tongue
,
called
Ranulae
.
If
the
ease
be
desperate
,
open
the
jugular
Vein
,
and
if
the
blood
cannot
be
stopped
,
make
use
of
Galens
Emplaister
,
against
a
flux
of
blood
.
You
must
make
use
of
Gargarisms
,
which
have
power
to
allay
the
inflammation
,
&
somewhat
to
repel
.
Take
the
leaves
of
Plantaine
,
Nightshade
,
Woodbine
,
Strawberry
,
and
Cinqueoil
,
of
each
one
handful
:
the
flowers
of
red
roses
,
and
pomegranates
,
of
each
one
pugill
:
boile
them
in
a
quart
of
running
water
to
a
pint
,
Strain
it
and
adde
four
ounces
of
Sirrup
of
Mulberies
.
But
beware
lest
repelling
medicines
drive
the
matter
to
the
Lungs
.
The
oyle
of
Vitriol
mixed
with
water
,
sufficient
to
allay
its
sharpnesse
,
often
taken
,
is
good
to
allay
the
inflammation
of
the
stomack
,
Liver
,
and
veins
,
also
the
parts
inflamed
in
this
distemper
.
Then
you
must
apply
loosning
and
resolving
Liniments
,
adding
such
things
as
easeth
pain
.
Take
of
the
juice
of
Mallows
,
Chamomel
,
and
Orpine
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
the
oyle
of
Chamomel
,
sweet
Almonds
,
and
Lillies
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
hens
grease
and
frish
Buter
,
of
each
three
ounces
,
boile
it
to
the
Consumption
of
the
juices
and
make
a
Liniment
.
You
must
apply
such
things
as
have
power
to
dissolve
,
among
those
which
have
a
peculiar
property
against
the
Quinzy
,
as
Riverius
teacheth
:
Take
of
a
Swallows
nest
and
Album
graecum
of
each
one
drachm
,
powder
them
:
flowerdeluce
roots
,
and
Chamomel
,
of
each
halfe
a
drachm
:
Hens
grease
and
oyle
of
Lillys
of
each
one
ounce
,
yellow
wax
a
little
,
make
a
Liniment
.
Orpine
hath
a
peculiar
faculty
against
the
Quinzy
,
if
the
bruised
hearb
be
outwardly
applyed
,
and
the
juice
sweetned
with
hony
often
swallowed
.
Let
us
not
forget
the
old
and
vulgar
medicine
viz.
album
graecum
and
hony
mixed
,
and
administred
like
a
Lohock
.
For
sqeemish
stomacks
,
or
such
as
delight
in
dearer
medicines
,
you
may
prepare
this
lohock
;
Take
of
Species
Diatraganthum
frigidum
,
and
diapenidion
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
Lohock
Epinis
,
et
Sanum
et
Expertum
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
:
mix
them
,
and
with
the
Sirrups
of
Mulberies
and
Jujubes
sufficient
,
make
a
lohock
,
and
take
as
before
.
If
it
tend
to
Suppuration
,
make
use
of
the
first
Liniment
,
prescribed
in
this
Chapter
:
Cassia
newly
drawn
held
in
the
mouth
and
gently
swallowed
,
easeth
pain
,
and
maturateth
the
humors
:
when
it
is
ripe
and
will
not
easily
break
,
you
must
open
it
with
a
crooked
incision-knife
:
or
drop
a
little
oyle
of
Vitriol
upon
it
,
when
it
is
open
,
let
the
Patient
hold
down
his
head
,
that
the
matter
may
run
forth
;
then
wash
it
often
with
barly
water
,
and
hony
of
roses
.

Of
the
Asthma
.
Asthma
is
a
difficulty
and
shortnesse
of
breathing
,
which
cometh
from
the
stuffing
of
the
Lungs
,
and
the
obstruction
of
the
Bronchion
,
or
gristles
of
the
wind
pipe
,
and
is
naturally
with
out
a
feaver
;
yet
sometimes
it
may
be
joyned
therewith
.
This
disease
is
divided
into
three
sorts
,
the
first
is
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
:
this
is
a
difficulty
of
breathing
,
caused
by
the
stuffing
of
the
substance
of
the
Lungs
,
and
not
the
gristles
,
and
is
not
accompanied
with
snorting
,
and
this
is
the
least
of
the
three
.
The
second
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
when
the
bronchia
of
the
Lungs
are
filled
with
flegm
and
doe
make
a
great
noise
,
with
snorting
and
wheezing
,
in
which
the
Diaphragma
,
and
the
intercostal
muscles
between
the
ribs
,
and
the
Abdomen
are
violently
moved
.
The
third
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
in
which
the
Patient
fetcheth
his
breath
with
much
difficulty
,
with
his
neck
stretched
upright
;
the
aforesaid
Muscles
,
together
with
the
Muscles
of
the
breast
and
shoulders
violently
moved
.
This
disease
is
caused
for
the
most
part
from
flegm
,
which
falleth
from
the
head
into
the
Lungs
,
and
obstructeth
the
wind-pipe
:
sometimes
humors
brought
thither
by
Arteria
Venosa
,
flow
to
the
Bronchia
,
and
causeth
Asthma
with
snorting
:
but
if
they
fall
into
the
substance
themselves
,
or
into
the
smooth
arteries
,
it
causeth
an
Asthma
without
snothing
.
There
needeth
no
more
signes
for
the
discovery
of
this
disease
,
then
what
may
be
gathered
from
its
description
.
As
to
the
prognostick
,
I
say
;
that
this
disease
is
Chronical
&
hard
to
be
cured
,
unlesse
the
Patient
be
young
and
of
a
strong
Constitution
:
if
a
child
hath
this
disease
,
if
it
be
not
speedily
removed
,
it
dieth
of
a
Catarth
.
In
men
,
it
ends
in
Chachexia
or
the
dropsy
.
If
it
turne
to
a
pleurisy
,
or
peripneumonia
,
it
is
deadly
.
You
may
begin
the
cure
with
blood-letting
if
the
body
be
plethorick
or
Corpulent
,
for
when
the
Veins
are
empty
of
blood
the
respiration
is
free
.
But
you
must
beware
of
phlebotomy
in
such
bodies
,
where
you
fear
diminishing
the
natural
heat
,
lest
flegme
increase
.
You
may
openthe
Saphaena
,
or
ancle-Vein
without
danger
;
you
must
,
in
the
next
place
,
purge
the
head
of
Phlegmatick
humors
,
which
are
prescribed
in
the
second
Chapter
of
this
Book
.
It
oftentimes
hath
bin
proved
that
vomitting
is
good
in
this
case
,
that
the
stomack
may
be
emptied
of
flegm
and
thick
vapors
,
which
puffing
up
the
stomack
compresseth
the
diaphragma
,
and
causeth
difficulty
of
breathing
:
one
ounce
of
Tobacco
water
,
sweetened
with
Sugar
,
will
cleanse
the
stomack
by
vomit
.
Let
the
Physitian
be
careful
how
he
administreth
vomits
to
weak
people
.
Sharp
Glisters
are
good
in
this
disease
,
for
revulsion
;
but
let
them
be
given
in
small
quantityes
,
lest
the
fulnesse
of
the
Bowels
,
compresse
the
diaphragma
.
The
Patient
must
make
use
of
such
things
as
extenuate
,
and
make
thin
the
humors
,
Take
of
Coltsfoot-water
two
ounces
,
Cinamon
water
one
ounce
:
with
an
ounce
of
Oximel
Simplex
,
and
take
it
in
the
morning
.
Then
let
him
make
use
of
such
as
have
an
Expectorating
quality
:
Take
of
the
powder
Diatraganthum
Frigidum
,
the
powder
of
Liquorish
,
and
Colts
soot
;
of
each
one
drachm
;
the
roots
of
Elecampane
,
and
Marsh
mallows
Candied
,
Conserve
of
roses
and
Violets
of
each
halfe
a
drachm
,
the
flower
of
Brimstone
,
and
Sugar
Candy
,
of
each
a
scruple
,
with
oyle
of
sweet
Almonds
,
(
newly
drawn
)
and
Sirrup
of
Maidenhaire
;
make
a
Lohock
.
And
let
the
Patient
take
the
quantity
of
a
Nutmeg
,
Morning
and
Evening
;
and
halfe
so
much
every
two
houres
:
this
I
have
often
given
with
good
successe
.
In
the
extremity
of
the
Fit
rub
the
breast
with
a
cloath
to
open
the
pores
,
&
then
anoint
it
with
this
following
ointment
.
Take
of
the
Oyle
of
Chamomel
,
Dill
,
Rew
,
and
sweet
Almonds
of
each
two
drachms
;
the
Roots
of
Elecampane
,
and
Flowerdeluce
in
powder
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
the
meale
of
flax-seed
and
Fenugreek
a
drachm
;
Saffron
one
scruple
with
wax
sufficient
;
make
an
ointment
.
Out
of
the
fit
,
to
perfect
the
cure
,
you
must
endeavour
to
stop
the
defluxion
,
and
to
cleanse
the
Lungs
.
For
the
first
you
may
find
sefficient
remedies
,
in
the
ninth
Chapter
of
this
book
,
adding
such
which
respect
the
breast
,
to
them
:
Let
your
medicines
not
be
too
drying
,
lest
they
thicken
the
humors
and
encrease
the
disease
.
Then
you
must
endeavor
to
unstuffe
and
cleanse
the
Lungs
and
wind
pipe
,
with
the
before
named
Lohock
,
or
of
the
like
nature
.
I
could
insert
many
which
I
omit
for
brevitie
sake
.
Quercetanus
his
Sirrup
of
Tobacco
is
very
good
:
the
Tincture
of
dryed
Tobacco
,
as
much
as
a
pease
held
in
the
mouth
,
and
swallowed
by
degrees
,
draweth
abundance
of
flegm
out
of
the
stomack
and
Lungs
:
or
if
you
take
Tobacco
in
a
pipe
,
it
is
good
.
The
juice
of
red
Coleworts
made
up
into
a
Sirrup
and
a
little
Spirit
of
Sulphur
added
to
it
,
may
be
taken
,
an
ounce
in
the
Morning
.
Or
you
may
make
Tablets
of
great
virtue
thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Elecampane
and
Licorish
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
the
Leaves
of
Colts
foot
,
Maiden
haire
,
Scabius
,
and
Woodbetony
,
of
each
a
drachm
:
Lac
Sulphuris
two
drams
,
Saffron
two
scruples
;
make
them
all
into
fine
Powder
,
and
with
the
Mucilage
of
Gum
Traganth
made
with
Coltsfoot
water
,
make
Tablets
,
which
let
the
Patient
hold
in
his
mouth
often
.
Platerus
highly
commendeth
the
preparation
of
a
Cock
thus
.
Take
an
old
Cock
,
kill
,
pull
,
and
draw
him
:
stuff
him
with
these
things
following
:
Fox
Lungs
fresh
,
or
prepared
,
one
ounce
,
Raisons
stoned
,
and
figs
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
Elecampane
one
dram
:
Hysop
,
Savory
,
Horchound
,
Thyme
,
Calaminth
,
Peneroyal
,
dryed
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
The
Seeds
of
Fenel
,
and
Annise
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
Carthamas
Seeds
bruised
,
and
the
Roots
of
Polypody
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
White
Tartar
one
drachm
:
Salt
,
half
an
ounce
:
the
Yolks
of
two
Eggs
,
Fresh
Butter
,
half
an

:
Cut
and
bruise
them
according
to
the
precepts
of
Pharmacy
,
and
few
them
up
into
the
Belly
of
the
Cock
;
boile
him
(
in
a
large
Vessel
,
and
soe
much
water
as
will
cover
him
,
and
no
more
)
till
his
flesh
come
off
from
his
bones
:
strain
it
,
and
add
to
every
ten
Pints
,
one
Pound
of
Hony
,
that
it
may
not
quickly
corrupt
:
let
the
Asthmatick
person
take
a
Porrenger
full
every
morning
,
in
which
dissโlve
of
Manna
and
Cassia
newly
drawn
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
.
It
will
be
the
better
,
if
presently
after
he
take
a
dram
of
Venus
Turpetine
with
penids
in
form
of
a
Bolus
or
otherwise
.
The
Patient
may
continue
taking
this
Cock-broath
a
Moneth
,
or
longer
.
CHAP.
XXVII
.
Of
the
Pleurisie
,
and
inflammation
of
the
Lungs
.
A
Pleurisie
is
an
inflammation
of
the
Membrane
Pleura
,
and
the
internal
intercostal
muscles
,
girding
the
sides
within
,
the
Greeks
call
it
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
and
the
Latines
also
Pleuritis
.
The
matter
causing
this
disease
,
for
the
most
part
is
Cholerick
blood
,
which
doth
easily
penetrate
the
Membrane
;
but
seeing
other
humors
may
cause
it
;
it
is
either
Sanguineous
,
Cholerick
,
Phlegmatick
,
or
Melancholick
:
but
what
ever
the
humor
offending
be
,
Choler
it
hath
for
its
Vehicle
.
The
signes
of
a
Pleurisie
(
according
to
Galen
)
are
five
:
first
a
pricking
pain
of
the
side
;
caused
by
a
Cholerick
humor
in
the
Membrane
,
extending
it self
,
either
towards
the
throat
,
or
the
Hypochondria
.
Secondly
a
continual
sharp
Feaver
,
which
is
either
Symptomatical
,
comming
from
some
Sangnineous
Tumor
about
the
part
;
or
essential
,
that
is
,
when
a
Feaver
first
invadeth
the
Patient
,
and
the
boiling
blood
is
expelled
to
those
parts
.
Thirdly
,
difficulty
of
breathing
,
because
thโ
heart
being
inflamed
,
as
well
as
the
rest
,
greedily
desireth
refreshment
;
and
he
parts
inflamed
cannot
sufficiently
distend
themselves
,
to
draw
in
the
cold
aire
.
Fourthly
,
a
hard
Pulse
like
a
Saw
;
which
is
caused
by
the
stretching
out
of
the
Membrane
,
by
which
defect
the
Arteries
are
distended
.
Fifthly
and
lastly
,
an
often
and
troublesome
Cough
;
because
nature
doth
strive
to
expel
those
troublesome
humors
from
the
part
affected
;
also
some
of
the
matter
sweateth
from
thence
into
the
Lungs
,
which
causeth
a
Cough
.
I
might
here
add
another
signe
viz.
spitting
of
blood
or
bloody
matter
,
but
because
it
happeneth
not
in
all
Pleurisies
,
nor
at
all
times
,
I
omit
it
.
You
may
partly
judge
of
the
humor
peceant
by
the
constitution
of
the
Patient
,
and
season
of
the
Year
.
The
particular
signes
are
first
of
blood
,
bloody
spittle
,
stretching
and
pricking
pains
,
full
Veins
especially
about
the
Temples
,
red
Urine
,
and
the
like
.
Signes
of
Choler
are
,
yellow
spittle
,
a
burning
Feaver
,
a
hard
and
quick
pulse
,
the
pain
more
acute
and
pricking
,
restlesnesse
,
bitternesse
of
the
mouth
,
and
yellow
Urine
.
The
signes
that
shew
Phlegm
,
are
,
much
,
sweet
,
and
frothy
Spittle
,
the
Feaver
remiss
,
little
thirst
,
the
pain
heavy
but
not
violent
,
the
pulse
not
so
hard
,
the
Urine
white
and
thick
,
the
Spittle
black
and
tough
,
the
pain
and
Feaver
moderate
,
a
dry
Cough
,
the
tongue
black
and
rough
;
the
belly
bound
,
the
Urine
red
and
darke
,
are
signes
of
Melancholly
.
As
to
the
prognostick
I
say
.
This
disease
afflicting
old
men
,
women
with
child
,
Asthmatical
persons
,
or
such
as
have
had
it
often
,
is
dangerous
.
If
the
Feaver
be
violent
,
the
breath
fetched
with
dissiculty
,
the
Cough
raiseth
up
no
matter
;
or
the
Spittle
very
bloody
,
or
very
white
,
and
glutinating
,
green
,
tustick
black
;
much
Spitting
and
yet
the
pain
abates
not
;
the
spitting
cease
and
the
pain
continue
;
all
these
are
dangerous
signes
.
On
the
contrary
plentiful
vomitting
,
Choler
in
the
beginning
of
the
disease
;
blood
or
Choler
mixed
with
the
spittle
&c.
are
good
signes
.
The
Cure
of
a
Pleurisie
,
consists
in
the
revelling
,
Deriving
,
discussing
,
digesting
,
maturating
,
and
expectorating
the
peccant
humors
:
if
the
Feaver
be
essential
,
seek
its
cure
in
its
proper
place
.
Bleeding
is
a
very
natural
remedy
for
a
Pleurisie
,
which
you
must
moderate
,
according
to
the
constitution
and
strength
of
your
Patient
;
and
the
violent
or
remiss
,
symptoms
.
If
your
Patient
spitt
freely
,
forbeare
blood-letting
,
lest
his
spitting
be
stayed
,
and
his
life
endangered
.
Twice
or
thrice
in
a
day
,
or
oftener
,
as
you
see
occasion
,
administer
cooling
Juleps
,
to
restrain
the
heat
of
the
boiling
humors
:
make
a
Iulep
of
Poppy
water
and
Sirrup
of
Violets
.
After
bleeding
prepare
a
fomentation
.
Take
of
Mallows
,
Violet
leaves
,
Chamomel
,
Pellitory
of
the
wall
,
of
each
one
handful
,
the
roots
of
Marsh
mallows
,
and
Lillies
of
each
four
ounces
,
the
seeds
of
Flax
,
Commin
,
and
Fenugreek
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
boile
them
well
,
and
put
them
,
with
the
liquor
into
a
hogs
bladder
and
foment
the
side
,
afterwards
anoint
it
with
this
following
Liniment
:
Take
of
Fresh
butter
and
Hens
grease
of
each
two
ounces
,
the
Oyles
of
Chamomel
,
Lillys
,
Dill
,
and
sweet
Almonds
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
The
Chimical
oyle
of
wax
a
scruple
,
mix
them
and
make
a
Liniment
:
some
slit
a
live-Hen
and
apply
it
:
some
the
Lungs
or
the
paunch
of
a
sheep
hot
:
others
apply
hot
bread
,
out
of
the
Oven
,
dipped
in
Butter
.
Then
you
may
make
an
Emulsion
,
of
blanched
Almonds
,
and
the
great
,
cold
seeds
,
thus
:
Take
of
Almonds
blanched
and
steeped
in
Coltsfoot
water
,
one
ounce
;
the
four
great
cold
seeds
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
the
seeds
of
Lettice
and
white
Poppy
of
each
one
drachm
:
beat
them
in
a
Marble
morter
,
pouring
on
by
degrees
,
the
decoction
of
Barly
,
Liquorish
and
Plantane
,
a
Pint
and
an
half
:
strain
it
out
,
and
dissolve
Sirrup
of
Jujubes
,
two
ounces
;
Sirrup
of
Violets
one
ounce
:
make
an
Emulsion
for
three
doses
,
give
it
Morning
and
Evening
.
If
his
Cough
be
violent
let
him
alwayes
have
in
his
mouth
,
Sugar
of
Roses
,
Sugar
Candy
or
penids
,
or
the
Tablets
of
Diatraganthum
Frigidum
,
or
with
Sirrup
of
Violets
and
Jujubes
you
may
make
it
into
the
form
of
an
Celegma
or
Lohock
.
If
his
spittle
be
thick
and
tough
,
adde
Oxymel
Simplex
,
or
the
Sirrups
of
Liquoris
,
or
Coltsfoot
.
Let
his
constant
drink
be
Barly
water
,
boile
it
in
Currans
,
Borrage
and
Bugloss
Flowers
,
Hartshorne
,
Maidenhaire
,
Coltsfoot
,
Liquoris
and
such
like
,
give
it
warm
.
You
must
not
purge
in
this
disease
,
till
the
declination
thereof
,
and
then
use
a
gentle
potion
.
Many
medicines
there
are
proper
and
special
for
a
Pleurisie
:
as
Stone-horse
dung
,
or
White-hens
dung
,
soaked
in
Carduus
water
,
and
strained
,
give
a
quarter
of
a
pint
;
this
hath
a
peircing
and
discussing
quality
,
(
by
reason
of
the
volatile
salt
in
it
)
and
doth
wonderfully
disperse
the
humors
in
the
Pleurisie
.
An
Apple
,
made
hollow
,
and
a
dram
of
Frankincense
put
therein
and
rosted
,
given
to
the
sick
,
drinking
three
ounces
of
Carduus
Water
after
it
and
laid
to
sweat
,
is
good
,
saith
Quercetan
.
Goats
Blood
also
is
good
.
If
the
Sick
fall
into
a
loosness
in
the
height
of
this
Disease
,
it
is
very
dangerous
:
in
the
declination
it
is
good
:
but
if
it
so
happen
,
give
him
the
Sirrup
of
Myrtles
;
and
do
as
you
are
taught
in
the
Cure
of
Diarrhaea
.

Or
The
inflammation
of
the
Lungs
,
is
a
disease
,
not
much
different
in
the
causes
,
or
signes
from
a
Pleurisie
;
but
only
in
the
part
affected
.
Sometimes
this
Peripneumonia
commeth
alone
,
and
sometimes
followeth
another
Disease
:
as
the
Quinzy
or
Pleurisit
,
which
is
a
dangerous
Symptome
:
on
the
contrary
,
if
a
Pleurisie
follow
the
inflammation
of
the
Lungs
,
it
is
a
hopeful
Symptome
.
This
Disease
is
more
dangerous
then
a
Pleurisie
,
and
for
the
most
part
deadly
,
by
reason
of
want
of
respiration
,
and
the
nearness
of
the
heart
.
The
cure
is
the
same
with
the
Pleurisie
,
therefore
I
shall
say
no
more
of
it
.

Of
Empyema
.
EMpyema
,
(
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
)
or
a
Collection
of
matter
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Thorax
,
is
a
Disease
,
which
for
the
most
part
followeth
a
Pleurisie
,
and
Peripneumonia
,
and
sometimes
a
Quinzy
,
when
they
are
not
carefully
cured
;
and
the
inflammation
commeth
to
Suppuration
;
and
when
the
Imposthume
breaketh
,
the
matter
falleth
into
the
cavity
of
the
breast
.
Sometimes
blood
falling
into
the
Thorax
,
by
the
breaking
or
wounding
of
a
Vein
,
may
come
to
Suppuration
,
or
rather
Corruption
.
Sometimes
,
flegm
falleth
from
the
head
and
other
parts
into
the
breast
,
and
there
putrifying
,
begetteth
matter
like
quitter
.
The
signes
of
Suppuration
beginning
,
according
to
Hippocrates
,
are
these
:
First
the
Pleurisie
being
not
purged
the
Feaver
increaseth
while
the
matter
is
turning
into
Pus
.
Secondly
the
sharpness
of
the
matter
touching
the
Membranes
,
causeth
quaking
;
the
Third
,
is
weight
and
sense
of
heaviness
in
the
part
.
To
these
we
may
adde
the
difficulty
of
breathing
;
for
although
when
the
Imposthume
is
broken
,
the
Diaphragma
,
and
the
Muscles
of
the
Thorax
,
move
more
freely
;
yet
the
Lungs
are
oppressed
by
the
matter
lying
,
about
them
.
But
an
old
and
confirmed
Empyema
is
known
,
by
a
lingring
,
putrid
and
partly
Hectick
Feaver
,
more
violent
towards
night
,
and
much
sweating
,
a
constant
troublesome
Cough
;
the
Cheeks
grow
Red
,
the
Eyes
hollow
,
the
legs
swell
,
Pustles
break
out
on
the
breast
.
If
the
Suppuration
break
,
and
the
Feaver
continueth
,
are
thirsty
,
want
appetite
,
the
pus
green
,
livid
or
frothy
,
brought
up
with
much
difficulty
,
and
a
loose
belly
;
all
these
are
signes
of
Death
,
or
of
long
sickness
:
the
contrary
are
the
signes
of
recovery
.
They
who
in
this
condition
doe
lift
up
the
whole
breast
,
when
they
breathe
,
by
reason
of
the
matter
contained
,
are
quickly
choaked
.
If
the
matter
be
not
spit
forth
in
forty
dayes
,
it
turneth
to
a
Consumption
and
death
followeth
.
The
Supuration
on
both
sides
is
more
dangerous
then
that
of
one
:
that
on
the
left
side
the
worst
,
by
reason
of
the
left
Ventricle
of
the
heart
.
If
the
matter
flow
plentifully
by
Stoole
and
Urine
,
and
the
Patient
strong
and
hearty
,
it
is
a
signe
of
recovery
.
For
the
Cure
:
you
must
endeavour
to
help
nature
in
Suppurating
the
humors
,
if
Suppuration
cannot
be
hindred
,
by
this
or
the
like
Cataplasme
:
Take
of
Chamomel
,
Melilot
,
and
Mallows
,
of
each
one
handful
;
the
Roors
of
Althaea
;
one
handful
:
Figs
,
and
Raisons
stoned
,
of
each
four
ounces
:
after
due
boiling
,
beat
,
and
strain
them
,
adding
to
the
Liquor
,
the
Oyles
of
sweet
Almonds
,
Lilies
,
and
Fresh
Butter
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
with
the
Meal
of
Wheat
,
Fenugreek
,
and
Flax
Seed
,
sufficient
,
make
a
Cataplasm
,
and
apply
it
.
In
the
mean
time
let
the
Patient
take
of
this
Lohock
:
Take
of
the
Conserve
of
the
Flower
of
Bugless
,
Violets
,
and
Roses
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
Maidenhaire
,
Liquorish
,
and
Coltsfoot
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
Oyle
of
Sweet
Almonds
,
newly
drawn
,
one
ounce
,
Sugar
Candy
,
one
ounce
:
Powder
what
is
to
be
Powdered
,
and
with
Sirrup
of
Liquorish
,
or
Colts
foot
sufficient
make
a
Lohock
;
and
let
the
Patient
take
thereof
often
.
Venice
Turpentine
washed
,
and
with
Liquorish
powder
made
up
into
Pills
,
are
good
to
maturate
,
discuss
and
cleanse
:
give
three
drachms
in
the
Morning
.
But
if
the
matter
will
not
be
spit
up
,
you
must
open

Of
spitting
of
Bloud
.
Sputum
Sanguinis
or
spitting
of
Blood
,
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
is
an
unnatural
Flux
of
Blood
,
from
the
vital
parts
,
viz.
the
breast
,
Lungs
,
and
Aspera
Arteria
.
The
Immediate
cause
is
Organical
,
or
common
;
the
Organical
twofold
,
either
the
opening
of
the
Vessels
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
or
Rarefaction
,
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
The
common
Disease
is
twofold
also
,
as
the
breaking
of
the
Vessels
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
or
the
Erosion
of
them
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
Blood
offending
in
quantity
or
quality
may
be
the
cause
of
opening
,
rarifying
,
breaking
or
Corroding
of
the
Vessels
.
To
be
further
satisfyed
therein
,
Ipray
you
have
recourse
to
the
nineteenth
Chapter
:
of
Bleeding
at
the
nose
.
Some
external
cause
,
as
Fall
,
Wound
,
or
the
like
,
may
be
the
cause
of
Haemoptysis
:
Immoderate
Cold
may
be
the
cause
,
by
hardening
the
Tunicles
that
they
cannot
be
extended
.
It
is
very
difficult
to
judge
of
the
part
from
whence
it
commeth
.
If
it
comes
from
the
head
,
it
is
cast
forth
by
Coughing
,
hawking
,
and
there
is
a
tickling
in
the
Palat
,
as
in
a
Catarrh
.
That
which
comes
from
the
breast
and
Lungs
,
causeth
Coughing
:
that
which
comes
from
the
Lungs
is
Frothy
;
that
which
comes
from
the
breast
is
Blackish
,
and
commeth
up
with
pain
.
That
which
comes
from
the
Gullet
and
Stomack
,
is
known
by
Vomitting
;
from
the
Jaws
and
Wezand
,
by
Hawking
;
from
the
Mouth
,
by
simple
spetting
.
Sometimes
the
Blood
is
sent
from
some
other
part
to
the
Lungs
and
spet
forth
:
but
this
may
be
known
by
pain
,
or
some
hurt
happened
there
.
You
must
judge
of
the
signes
from
the
quantity
or
quality
of
the
Blood
:
the
Nineteenth
Chapter
will
instruct
you
.
To
the
Prognostick
;
Hippocrates
saith
,
that
what
kind
of
Blood
soever
is
spit
from
any
of
the
inferiour
parts
is
evil
,
for
every
opening
of
a
Vessel
,
which
letteth
out
Blood
is
dangerous
,
especially
in
the
Lungs
.
But
sometimes
it
happeneth
without
hurt
,
when
nature
critically
doth
evacuate
superfluous
Blood
that
way
:
as
it
is
seen
sometimes
in
women
,
who
have
their
courses
stopt
.
You
must
begin
the
cure
with
Blood-letting
;
open
a
Vein
on
the
same
side
,
you
judge
the
distemper
to
be
.
If
there
be
obstruction
of
the
Termes
,
open
the
Saphaena
:
If
your
Patient
is
subject
to
the
Hemorrhoids
,
Bleed
with
Leeches
.
Cupping
or
other
Revulsions
you
may
use
,
if
occasion
be
.
Then
purge
Choller
,
which
causeth
the
Blood
to
be
thin
and
fluid
,
with
Rubarb
,
Mirabolans
,
and
the
like
:
Then
give
Medicines
a
stringent
to
close
the
Orifice
of
the
Vessels
:
but
at
the
first
give
such
things
with
them
,
which
have
an
expectorating
quality
,
lest
Blood
in
the
breast
,
or
other
parts
,
out
of
the
proper
Vessels
should
be
coagulated
;
Take
of
Conserve
of
Roses
,
and
the
juice
of
Purslane
of
each
two
ounces
.
Sugar
of
Roses
one
ounce
,
Red
Coral
,
Blood-stone
,
Bolearmenick
,
and
Terra
Sigillata
,
of
each
half
a
dram
:
Troches
of
Amber
,
a
scruple
:
the
Oyle
of
Vitriol
six
drops
:
with
the
Whites
of
eggs
beaten
to
Water
,
make
a
Lohock
,
of
which
let
the
Patient
lick
often
,
especially
Night
and
Morning
.
Quercetan
prescribeth
a
Water
,
excellent
against
spitting
of
Blood
;
see
the
fourth
part
of
this
Treatise
,
among
Distilled
Waters
.
The
Chymical
Oyle
of
Amber
,
two
or
three
drops
,
hath
an
excellent
astringing
quality
,
take
it
in
the
Distilled
Water
of
Knorgrass
,
or
Plantane
,
or
the
like
:
so
you
may
take
,
or
give
half
a
drachm
of
Sanguis
Draconis
;
or
the
Blood
stone
alone
finely
powdered
out
two
scruples
,
Opium
,
Laudanum
;
Philonium
,
Romanum
,
and
Persicum
:
These
and
such
like
may
be
given
,
provided
,
the
dose
be
regulated
by
an
able
brain
:
the
juice
of
Nettles
drunk
four
or
five
ounces
in
the
Morning
,
hath
prevailed
when
all
other
have
failed
,
saith
Amatus
Lucitanus
.
If
by
the
use
of
Astringent
medicines
,
your
Patient
be
costive
,
give
a
Clister
or
purge
,
that
leaves
an
Astringency
behind
it
;
and
if
the
use
of
Astringents
hinder
spitting
,
mix
those
things
,
which
doe
not
only
stop
Blood
,
but
mollifie
the
breast
also
;
such
are
the
juyces
of
Plantane
,
Purslane
;
the
Sirrups
of
dryed
Roses
,
Quinces
,
Myrtles
,
and
of
jujubes
,
Gum
Arabick
,
Traganth
,
and
Starch
,
and
such
like
.
If
Blood
be
congealed
in
the
breast
,
indeavour
to
dissolve
it
,
by
administring
six
ounces
of
Oxycrate
,
three
times
a
day
;
if
it
cause
Coughing
,
sweeten
it
with
Sugar
or
Sugar
Candy
.
Apply
this
cooling
Epithem
,
to
allay
the
heat
of
the
Liver
,
if
you
see
occasion
:
Take
of
the
Water
of
Rose
,
Plantane
,
and
Succory
,
of
each
four
ounces
:
Vinegar
of
Roses
two
ounces
:
of
the
powder
called
Diatrion
,
Santalen
,
a
drachm
,
and
an
half
;
Camphire
one
scruple
,
make
an
Epitheme
&
apply
it
warme
to
the
Liver
;
afterwards
anoint
with
unguentum
Rosarum
,
and
Rose
Vinegar
.
Anoint
the
reins
with
Oyle
of
Roses
,
and
Water
Lillys
:
and
the
Testicles
,
with
Oxycrate
.
If
a
Defluxion
of
sharp
humors
,
from
the
head
unto
the
Lungs
,
be
the
cause
of
the
Disease
,
seek
the
cure
in
the
ninth
Chapter
.
When
the
Blood
is
stanched
,
let
your
Patient
avoid
all
things
,
that
may
cause
a
returne
thereof
;
as
Salt
,
and
spiced
meats
,
rich
Wines
,
great
heat
,
anger
,
and
violent
exercise
.
If
you
judge
him
inclinable
to
the
Distemper
,
by
reason
of
thin
Cholerick
humors
,
mixed
with
the
Blood
,
purge
those
humors
,
at
the
Spring
and
Fall
.
CHAP.
XXXI
.
Of
the
Consumption
or
Ptisick
.
This
Disease
is
called
in
Latine
Tabes
,
and
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
which
although
it
signifieth
every
Consumption
,
yet
is
most
properly
taken
for
the
extenuation
of
the
whole
Body
,
caused
by
an
Ulcer
in
the
Lungs
.
An
Ulcer
in
the
Lungs
,
by
reason
of
its
nearnesse
to
the
heart
,
afflicts
it
with
putrid
vapours
;
the
heart
disperseth
it
into
all
parts
;
hence
commeth
a
Feaver
hectick
joyned
with
a
putrid
;
and
by
its
unnatural
heat
,
does
hinder
the
well
concocting
of
nourishment
,
hence
the
whole
Body
decayeth
.
Sometimes
sharp
corroding
and
Salt
humors
falling
from
the
head
,
or
the
Suppurated
humors
from
the
Pleurisie
,
or
Empyema
,
which
humors
putrifying
upon
the
Lungs
may
Ulcerate
them
.
Many
times
the
cause
is
in
the
Lungs
themselves
,
which
have
a
vitious
,
hereditary
constitution
naturally
tender
,
and
disposed
to
corruption
.
Sometimes
a
Pustule
is
bred
in
the
Lungs
,
and
never
breaketh
,
but
groweth
till
it
stop
the
passage
of
the
breath
,
and
killeth
the
Patient
.
Sometimes
it
commeth
to
Suppuration
and
is
called
the
Imposthume
of
the
Lungs
:
which
being
broken
,
and
flowing
to
the
Bronchia
,
or
passages
in
the
Lungs
,
it
may
be
spit
up
,
if
the
body
be
strong
and
the
matter
little
in
quantity
:
but
many
times
an
Ulcer
remaineth
,
which
causeth
a
Consumption
.
If
the
Impostumated
matter
flow
into
the
Ventricle
of
the
heart
,
the
sick
dye
sudainly
;
and
many
times
insensible
of
any
pain
or
sicknesse
:

To
the
causes
of
this
Disease
,
here
mentioned
,
you
may
adde
all
the
causes
mentioned
in
the
ninth
Chapter
:
of
Defluxions
.
Hippocrates
mentioneth
many
more
kinds
of
Consumptions
,
too
tedious
for
me
to
insert
in
this
Volume
:
as
those
proceeding
from
nocturnal
pollutions
,
the
running
of
the
Reins
;
also
the
obstruction
of
the
Nerves
,
or
the
flowing
of
Choler
to
the
Back
,
so
,
of
nourishment
,
or
drying
causeth
a
Consumption
:
likewise
a
Distillation
from
the
head
to
the
Marrow
on
the
back
,
may
be
the
cause
,
as
Hippocrates
faith
;
when
a
Defluxion
falleth
upon
the
Spinal
Marrow
,
there
is
a
secret
,
and
undisernable
Consumption
.
Sometimes
it
hath
its
original
from
hunger
,
and
want
of
nourishment
.
Sometimes
when
the
Meseraick
Veins
are
obstructed
,
that
the
Chylus
Concocted
in
the
stomach
,
cannot
passe
to
the
Liver
.
In
the
Diagnostick
,
we
must
observe
the
signes
of
a
Consumption
,
beginning
,
begun
,
or
confirmed
.
Signes
of
a
Consumption
beginning
are
,
a
small
Defluxion
,
the
Lungs
not
much
hurt
thereby
,
the
Cough
but
small
;
the
spittle
Sweet
,
Salt
,
or
Bitter
;
the
body
a
little
Feverish
.
The
signes
of
a
Consumption
begun
,
the
Distillation
is
stronger
,
the
Lungs
pierced
,
by
which
the
Lungs
are
exasperated
,
and
the
Cough
violent
.
The
matter
contained
in
the
Lungs
maketh
the
stomach
weighty
,
a
sharp
pain
before
and
behind
,
from
the
humors
suppurating
,
sharp
and
hearing
humors
,
fall
into
the
body
,
and
sometimes
into
the
Veins
causing
a
hective
Feaver
,
sometimes
joyned
with
a
Putrid
The
Lungs
,
by
contracted
Filth
grow
hot
;
by
which
heat
,
flegme
and
other
humors
good
and
bad
,
are
drawn
from
the
brain
,
which
the
brain
fetcheth
from
all
the
body
,
hence
comes
its
decay
and
extenuation
.
The
Patient
spetteth
thick
rotten
Flegm
;
and
doth
sweat
at
night
,
as
soon
as
he
sleepeth
.
A
Consumption
confirmed
,
is
known
by
these
signes
:
the
Patient
spitteth
matter
it self
:
the
Feaver
stronger
:
the
Cough
more
violent
,
with
more
provocation
,
and
lesse
Evacuation
:
the
Cough
is
attended
with
a
hollow
sounding
:
he
ineth
and
wanteth
appetite
,
for
the
mouth
of
the
stomach
is
weakened
by
the
Defluxion
:
The
belly
is
loose
,
for
the
Flegm
falling
from
the
head
,
weakeneth
the
stomach
and
Bowells
,
and
the
retentive
Faculty
is
destroyed
,
The
Patient
breatheth
difficult
ly
,
for
the
faculty
is
weak
,
and
the
Bronchia
stopped
with
Putrid
Matter
:
the
haire
falleth
off
,
the
cheeks
waxe
Blue
,
and
his
feet
swell
:
the
nailes
of
the
fingers
are
crooked
,
because
the
flesh
on
the
tops
of
the
singers
,
which
held
them
up
,
is
decayed
.
Let
the
Patient
spit
in
a
Bason
of
Faire
Water
;
if
he
spit
Matter
,
it
sinketh
;
if
Flegm
,
it
swimmeth
.
Thus
have
I
briefly
touched
upon
the
causes
and
signes
of
a
Consumption
;
a
word
or
two
of
the
Prognostick
.
If
the
Consumption
hath
not
long
continued
,
and
the
Ulcer
but
newly
begun
,
it
may
be
cured
;
otherwise
not
,
for
those
things
which
dry
the
Ulcer
,
doe
hinder
spitting
,
and
encrease
the
Feaver
,
and
maketh
the
body
leaner
.
Those
things
which
are
moist
,
good
against
leannesse
and
Feavers
,
doe
make
the
Ulcer
fouler
.
Those
that
have
narrow
,
and
streight
breasts
,
and
their
shoulder
blades
stick
our
like
wings
,
are
inclinable
to
Consumptions
,
to
whom
it
is
natural
,
for
want
of
natural
heat
.
If
the
Consumption
came
with
an
acute
Disease
;
or
the
sick
fall
into
an
acute
Disease
,
it
killeth
speedily
.
If
the
Patient
spitteth
stinking
matter
,
or
cannot
spit
at
all
;
his
belly
loose
,
he
is
very
near
Death
.
It
would
take
up
a
great
deal
more
room
,
then
I
have
to
spare
,
to
set
down
the
cure
of
a
Consumption
,
(
I
mean
when
it
is
only
begun
,
and
the
Patient
strong
,
)
I
shall
only
Epitomise
it
.
Let
the
sick
drink
Milke
warm
,
either
Asses
,
Goars
,
or
Red
Cows
,
but
above
all
the
Milke
of
a
sound
woman
is
the
best
.
Let
him
use
a
coole
and
moist
diet
,
and
make
use
of
such
things
,
which
may
correct
the
Blood
,
make
a
decoction
of
China
,
Sanders
,
and
Guajacum
.
You
must
purge
the
humors
offending
,
but
be
sure
you
make
use
of
such
purges
,
as
work
very
gently
as
Manna
,
Rhubarb
,
Cassia
,
Sirrup
of
Roses
and
the
like
.
To
allay
the
Feaver
,
it
is
lawful
to
let
Blood
,
if
your
Patient
be
not
too
lean
.
You
must
divert
the
Defluxion
,
have
recourse
to
the
ninth
Chapter
.
Then
you
must
give
such
things
,
which
have
a
healing
quality
,
to
cure
the
Ulcer
,
of
which
the
Milk
spoken
of
before
is
very
good
,
and
if
Sugar
of
Roses
be
given
with
it
,
it
will
be
much
more
available
.
Conserve
of
Roses
is
good
;
if
it
astringe
too
much
,
and
the
breath
fail
,
and
the
sick
cannot
spit
,
make
use
of
Expectorating
medicines
,
as
the
Sirrup
of
Hysop
,
Coltsfoot
,
or
Lohocks
:
the
last
Chapter
will
enforme
you
.
If
hear
be
procured
by
the
same
means
,
give
coolers
,
as
the
Sirrups
of
Violets
,
and
Jujubes
:
the
Musilage
of
Flealand
,
Quinces
,
and
the
cold
seeds
.
The
Sirrup
of
the
juice
of
Ground
Ivy
is
much
commended
by
Quercetan
,
see
the
fourth
Book
of
Sirrups
.
This
Sirrup
hath
admirable
virtues
.
Take
of
the
juice
of
Grounding
,
Veronica
,
and
Carduus
Benedictus
clarifyed
,
of
each
eight
ounces
;
in
which
boile
of
all
the
sorts
of
Maidenhaire
,
Scabious
,
and
Lettice
,
of
each
half
a
handful
,
very
gently
;
then
dissolve
,
in
the
Liquor
streined
,
a
pound
an
half
of
White
Sugar
,
and
boile
it
to
the
heighth
of
a
Sirrup
;
adde
in
the
end
,
of

Of
the
Palpitation
of
the
heart
.
The
Palpitation
of
the
heart
is
an
immoderate
,
and
preternatural
shaking
of
the
part
with
a
great
diastole
or
vehement
Systole
,
which
sometimes
hath
bin
so
great
,
that
the
adjoyning
ribs
have
bin
displaced
,
sometimes
broken
:
and
sometimes
an
Artery
hath
bin
much
dilated
,
so

The
Greeks
call
this
Disease
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
and
the
Latines
Palpitato
Cordis
.
The
causes
of
it
,
may
be
referred
to
three
heads
:
the
first
is
a
molestation
of
the
heart
,
sometimes
a
troublesome
vapor
,
arising
from
cold
and
thick
humors
lodged
near
the
heart
,
especially
the
Pericardium
,
and
conveighed
to
the
Ventricles
of
the
heart
:
or
sent
from
the
stomach
,
Spleen
,
womb
or
the
like
;
or
caused
by
the
Plague
,
poison
,
worms
putrified
;
or
the
Mestrues
stopped
,
and
conveighed
as
before
,
may
be
the
cause
of
Palpitation
.
To
these
,
adde
excesse
in
quantity
or
quality
,
of
bloody
,
Cholerick
or
watry
humors
oppressing
the
Veins
,
Arteryes
or
Ventricles
of
the
heart
.
Likewise
Inflammation
,
Imposthumation
,
or
Tumors
happening
in
the
Arteries
of
the
Lungs
near
the
heart
,
or
in
the
Pericardium
,
may
be
the
cause
of
Palpitation
.
A
Second
cause
is
a
preternatural
heat
,
by
which
the
Spirits
are
inflamed
,
and
the
motion
of
the
heart
and
Arteries
is
encreased
,
and
this
sometimes
(
though
seldome
)
ariseth
from
an
inward
cause
:
often
from
an
outward
,
as
anger
,
violent
excercise
and
the
like
.
The
third
cause
is
the
defect
of
Spirits
,
caused
by
hunger
,
watching
,
anger
,
joy
,
fear
,
shame
,
or
great
Diseases
,
or
any
thing
,
which
dissipateth
the
Spirits
,
which
the
heart
labouring
to
recover
,
encreaseth
its
motion
,
and
causeth
Palpitation
.
The
Diagnosis
or
knowledge
of
this
Disease
is
easie
,
for
it
may
be
felt
,
heard
,
or
seen
:
The
causes
must
be
distinguished
by
their
proper
signes
.
A
hot
distemper
is
known
by
often
breathing
,
by
a
Feaver
and
heat
of
the
breast
,
and
a
desire
of
cold
things
.
If
wind
be
the
cause
,
it
is
subject
to
Variation
,
and
raised
by
a
small
motion
,
the
breath
is
difficult
;
a
mist
before
the
eyes
,
and
a
noise
in
the
eares
&c.
If
the
Disease
commeth
from
humors
in
the
heart
or
Pericardium
,
it
comes
not
suddainly
,
nor
goeth
away
quickly
.
The
nature
of
the
humor
you
may
gather
from
their
Symptomes
.
Water
in
the
Peticardium
is
hard
to
be
known
,
but
we
may
conjecture
it
,
by
the
weaknesse
of
the
Pulse
,
the
heart
seems
to
be
almost
suffocated
in
water
.
If
Malignant
and
Pestilent
humors
cause
it
,
the
Patient
fainteth
,
a
losse
of
the
pulse
and
strength
&c.
If
it
come
by
consent
from
other
parts
,
their
proper
signes
declare
it
.
If
a
Tumor
be
the
cause
,
the
motion
of
the
heart
is
different
from
the
natural
,
and
the
pulse
is
various
:
if
the
Tumor
be
in
the
pericardium
,
and
hard
,
the
disease
is
constant
,
and
the
Patient
decays
without
manifest
cause
.
To
the
Prognostick
I
say
,
it
is
a
dangerous
Symptome
,
because
the
motion
of
the
heart
,
by
which
life
is
preserved
,
is
hindered
;
and
Galen
saith
,
that
they
who
are
thus
affected
in
youth
,
or
middle
age
,
live
not
to
be
old
,
because
the
Vitalls
are
weak
in
them
.

If
it
come
from
a
Tumor
,
it
is
incurable
;
if
it
be
peculiar
to
the
heart
,
or
pericardium
,
it
is
incurable
.
If
it
come
by
consent
from
other
parts
,
the
cure
must
be
sought
out
of
their
proper
Chapters
:
but
,
(
seeing
not
only
the
cause
ought
to
be
removed
,
but
also
the
Symptomes
asswaged
,
by
refreshing
the
heart
)
you
must
administer
Cordial
medicines
,
which
have
power
to
strengthen
the
heart
.
If
a
hot
distemper
vex
the
heart
,
Take
of
the
Conserve
of
Violets
,
Water-lillys
,
Borrage
or
Buglosse
flowers
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
Diamargariton
frigidum
,
Diarrhodon
Abbatis
,
of
each
two
drachms
:
Red
Sanders
,
Coral
,
and
Camphire
,
of
each
a
drachm
:
with
the
Sirrups
of
Coral
,
Balme
,
or
Citron
peels
,
make
an
Opiate
,
of
which
let
him
take
often
.
If
cold
humors
cause
the
Palpitation
:
Take
of
the
Conserve
of
Roses
,
and
Rosemary
flowers
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
Aromaticum
Rosarum
,
Dianthus
,
and
Diambra
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
Cinamon
,
Cloves
,
and
Mace
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
:
Confection
of
Alchermes
,
two
scruples
:
Amber
,
Muske
,
and
Saffron
,
of
each
one
scruple
:
with
Sirrup
of
Clove-Gilly-flowers
,
make
an
Opiat
,
and
give
it
as
before
.
With
these
and
the
like
ingredients
the
Ingenious
may
form
medicines
of
all
sorts
,
whether
the
disease
be
hot
,
or
cold
:
likewise
may
Liniments
,
Unguents
,
Epithemas
,
and
Sacculibe
prepared
,
and
applyed
to
the
Region
of
the
heart
,
to
strengthen
,
and
abate
the
hot
or
cold
distempers
thereof
.
If
an
humor
gathered
near
the
heart
cause
the
Palpitation
,
extenuating
medicines
must
be
mixed
with
your
Cordialls
,
and
if
nothing
prohibite
,
open
the
inner
Vein
of
the
arme
,
called
Basilica
;
if
that
appear
not
,
open
the
middle
Vein
,
which
course
Galen
commendeth
;
also
if
you
see
occasion
administer
purging
,
and
Carminative
Clisters
.

Of
Swooning
,
or
Syncope
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
or
Swooning
is
a
sudden
,
and
swift
failing
of
all
strength
:
for
all
parts
having
a
continual
necessary
influence
upon
the
heart
,
and
vital
spirits
;
when
they
fail
,
all
the
rest
must
suffer
.
This
Disease
is
distinguished
from
the
Epilepsy
,
which
hath
a
Convulsion
,
and
this
not
from
an
Apoplexy
,
in
which
the
breath
is
much
stopped
,
and
the
pulse
not
much
abated
,
till
near
death
:
but
here
the
pulse
faileth
and
the
breath
is
free
.
In
Fits
of
the
Mother
,
the
breath
is
most
obstructed
,
the
pulse
not
much
altered
,
nor
the
colour
of
the
face
,
except
it
be
higher
:
the
contrary
happeneth
in
a
Syncope
.
The
immediate
cause
of
this
Disease
,
is
the
defect
of
the
Vital
Spirits
,
in
which
nature
is
constrained
,
lest
the
heart
should
totally
fail
,
to
fetch
the
spirits
from
other
parts
to
the
heart
,
by
which
means
they
lose
their
functions
.
This
defect
happeneth
four
ways
principally
:
First
they
are
naturally
few
,
by
fault
in
the
faculty
making
of
the
Vital
Spirits
;
or
the
matter
:
which
fault
commeth
by
diseases
proper
to
the
heart
,
or
by
consent
from
other
parts
.
Proper
to
the
heart
,
are
too
much
constriction
,
dilation
,
and
Solutions
happening
to
the
Ventricles
of
the
heart
;
or
such
as
destroy
the
natural
temper
,
as
Sharp
,
Malignant
,
Fainting
,
Pestilential
,
and
Hectick
Feavers
,
and
the
like
.
The
faculty
may
be
hurt
by
diseases
in
those
parts
,
which
have
a
Sympathy
with
the
heart
,
as
the
Brain
,
Liver
,
Stomach
,
and
Womb.
The
matter
is
faulty
,
when
the
Aire
or
Blood
,
(
by
which
the
Vital
spirits
are
generated
)
is
defective
,
or
corrupted
.
The
aire
is
defective
,
when
respiration
,
and
transpiration
is
hindered
:
But
the
hinderance
of
nutrition
causeth
a
defect
of
the
Blood
.
They
are
both
corrupted
,
when
their
qualityes
are
changed
.
Secondly
this
Disease
is
caused
when
the
Spirits
are
dissipated
and
spent
,
by
too
great
evacuations
which
may
be
done
sensibly
,
or
insensibly
.
Sensibly
,
by
inordinate
Phlebotomy
,
Bleeding
of
wounds
,
or
at
the
Mouth
,
Nose
,
Womb
,
Belly
,
or
Hemorrhoids
:
or
an
extraordinary
discharging
of
other
excrementitious
humours
,
by
Vomit
,
Stool
,
Urine
,
or
Sweat
:
the
breaking
of
an
inward
Impostume
;
or
by
Empyema
;
or
by
tapping
the
Nave
lin
the
Dropsy
.
Insensible
evacuations
,
are
caused
by
sharp
or
thin
humours
,
which
rarifie
the
skin
;
or
the
immoderate
heat
of
Bathes
or
Hot-Houses
.
To
these
add
long
Watchings
,
Fastings
,
Lechery
,
Anger
,
Joy
,
long
continuing
,
and
violent
pain
or
sickness
&c.
may
cause
a
dissipation
of
the
spirits
.
Thirdly
,
this
disease
is
caused
by
things
which
alter
and
corrupt
the
Spirits
,
as
venemous
and
pestilential
aire
and
stincks
,
or
an
evill
disposition
of
the
Bowels
and
other
parts
;
in
a
word
,
all
things
which
are
averse
to
the
heart
may
corrupt
the
spirits
.
Or
Lastly
the
spirits
may
be
suffocated
or
destroyed
:
which
may
come
to
pass
,
by
a
vehement
returning
of
Blood
and
Spirits
to
the
Heart
;
as
also
corrupt
vapours
,
cold
and
thick
blood
,
and
other
humours
gathered
about
the
Heart
,
or
the
adjacent
parts
.
These
signes
shew
a
Syncope
,
viz.
a
sudden
failing
of
strength
,
a
slow
pulse
sometimes
stopping
,
a
pale
and
blewish
Face
,
the
body
externally
cold
,
a
cold
Sweat
,
especially
on
the
Temples
,
Neck
,
and
Breast
.
The
signes
of
the
Causes
,
for
the
most
part
,
are
manifest
,
as
the
sorts
of
Feavers
,
and
the
external
Causes
,
but
now
named
,
may
be
easily
known
.
A
sharp
Nose
,
hollow
Eyes
,
the
Temples
fallen
,
are
signes
of
thin
Humours
:
gnawing
of
the
Stomach
,
pricking
heat
,
and
great
pain
,
do
shew
that
the
Body
is
troubled
with
Choler
.
Abundance
of
crude
Humours
,
is
known
by
the
enlarging
of
the
Body
,
swelling
of
the
Breast
,
the
colour
pale
,
and
the
pulse
smal
,
unequal
,
and
obscure
.
If
swoonding
come
by
consent
from
other
parts
,
the
Signes
of
those
parts
affected
will
discover
it
.
They
who
often
and
violently
faint
without
manifest
Cause
,
dy
suddenly
(
saith
Hippocrates
.
)
A
Syncope
,
which
cometh
from
some
evident
Cause
,
as
Fear
,
Sorrow
,
or
immoderate
Evacuations
,
is
lesse
dangerous
then
that
which
cometh
from
an
internal
Cause
.
In
respect
of
various
Causes
,
you
must
vary
the
Cure
.
If
it
come
from
immoderate
Evacuations
,
you
must
endeavour
to
stop
it
with
their
proper
Medicines
,
prescribed
in
their
several
Chapters
.
If
from
too
violent
purging
,
give
three
graines
of
Laudanum
,
or
two
of
Opium
.
If
by
too
much
sweating
,
you
must
use
Medicines
which
restrain
Sweat
.
If
from
suffocation
of
the
Spirits
,
call
them
back
by
Frictions
,
Ligatures
,
and
Cupping
.
If
it
come
from
Poyson
taken
,
give
somthing
to
expell
it
;
after
Vomiting
with
Oyl
,
give
Treacle
:
if
it
burn
in
the
guts
,
give
Milk
,
fat
Broth
,
or
cooling
Cordials
.
If
thinness
of
the
Humours
cause
it
,
give
things
that
are
sweet
and
thickning
.
If
want
of
Food
cause
a
Syncope
,
make
use
of
a
restoring
Diet
,
and
nourishing
Broths
.
To
conclude
,
From
what
Cause
soever
it
come
,
in
the
Fit
,
lay
your
Patient
upon
his
back
,
throw
cold
water
into
his
Face
,
make
him
sneez
,
put
Aqua-vitae
,
Caelestis
or
Imperiales
into
his
Mouth
:
call
him
loud
,
stop

CHAP.

Of
want
of
Appetite
.
As
there
are
divers
actions
of
the
Stomach
,
so
there
are
divers
diseases
hindring
those
actions
:
See
the
fifth
Chap.
of
the
first
Book
.
And
seeing
that
the
attractive
faculty
is
the
first
in
order
,
I
shall
begin
with
the
want
of
Attraction
or
Appetite
.
It
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
or
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
In
Latine
Inappetentia
,
In
English
Want
of
Appetite
or
Loathing
of
Meat
.
That
we
may
rightly
judge
of
the
Causes
of
this
Disease
,
let
us
consider
the
Natural
Causes
of
Appetite
and
Hunger
,
by
which
we
may
the
better
discover
the
fault
or
hinderance
.
The
first
cause
of
Hunger
,
is
emptinesse
of
the
Stomach
:
if
there
be
no
emptinesse
,
there
is
no
Attraction
,
nor
Appetite
.
Want
of
emptinesse
,
is
when
the
parts
are
filled
with
plenty
of
crude
Humours
,
caused
by
Gluttony
or
Drunkenness
;
want
of
Excercise
or
usual
Evacuations
:
Weakness
of
the
Natural
Heat
or
a
Feaver
,
when
the
Heat
is
busied
to
concoct
the
matter
of
the
Disease
,
or
the
like
.
The
Second
cause
of
Appetite
,
is
the
attraction
of
Nourishment
to
the
Stomach
,
sometimes
this
is
depraved
,
though
the
parts
are
empty
,
when
the
Veins
have
left
their
strength
by
Sickness
,
or
immoderate
Evacuations
.
The
third
cause
of
Appetite
,
is
the
Attraction
of
the
Chilus
,
from
the
Stomach
to
the
Liver
,
by
the
Meseraick
Veins
;
which
cannot
be
performed
if
those
Veins
are
obstructed
,
the
Chilus
sent
out
by
Siege
,
and
the
parts
dโโฆprived
of
their
necessary
Nourishment
.
Fourthly
,
the
faculty
of
attracting
an
Appetite
requireth
a
good
disposition
of
the
stomach
,
brain
,
and
Nerves
:
consequently
what
ever
altereth
their
dispositions
destroyeth
apperite
:
great
heat
and
drieth
,
dispersing
the
moist
substance
of
the
stomach
,
doth
cause
a
want
of
appetite
.
The
like
doth
cold
,
which
causeth
a
Stupefaction
of
the
parts
,
and
extinguisheth
the
natural
heat
.
Flegmy
and
Slimy-humors
gathered
in
the
stomach
by
evil
concoction
,
or
by
a
defluxion
from
the
head
:
the
suppression
of
the
Termes
,
or
Hemorrhoids
,
smoothereth
the
natural
heat
,
and
causeth
want
of
attraction
.
Distempers
of
the
Brain
and
Nerves
,
maketh
a
man
insensible
of
the
attracting
in
the
stomach
.
The
signe
of
the
first
cause
is
known
by
high
feeding
,
repletion
,
want
of
evacuation
,
the
body
is
full
and
the
Veins
Swoln
,
and
the
like
.
The
second
cause
is
evident
,
by
sicknesse
,
or
immoderate
evacuations
.
The
third
is
known
by
obstruction
of
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
or
Mesentery
The
fourth
cause
is
thus
known
.
If
there
be
a
great
heat
in
the
stomach
,
drynesse
,
bitternesse
of
the
congue
and
Jaws
,
and
a
Feaver
,
with
heart-burning
,
and
the
like
.
All
which
signifie
a
hot
distemper
of
the
stomach
;
if
it
flow
from
some
other
parts
;
the
signes
of
Inflammation
of
the
Liver
and
other
parts
will
demonstrate
it
.
A
cold
distemper
and
much
flegm
is
known
by
coldnesse
of
the
stomach
,
great
heavinesse
,
and
sharp
belchings
.
Prog
:
want
of
appetite
is
dangerous
,
for
it
is
a
digression
from
the
natural
estate
.
Loathing
of
meat
for
want
of
natural
heat
is
farr
more
dangerous
,
then
when
it
is
caused
by
abundance
of
evil
humors
.
In
children
want
of
appetite
is
worse
then
in
men
,
because
their
natures
require
more
nourishment
.
In
all
diseases
want
of
Appetite
is
an
evill
Symptome
.
If
a
man
recovering
wanteth
Appetite
,
there
is
fear
of
a
Relapse
.
If
want
of
Appetite
come
from
a
Disease
of
some
other
part
,
I
referr
you
thither
for
the
Cure
:
but
if
it
be
onely
in
the
Stomach
,
you
must
consider
it
as
either
Hot
or
Cold.
If
a
hot
Humour
be
the
cause
,
purge
Choler
gently
and
often
,
if
your
Patient
be
easy
to
vomit
,
give
an
easy
Vomit
.
Alter
the
Humours
with
cooling
Sirrups
and
Juleps
,
mixing
therewith
the
Spirit
of
Vitriol
,
or
Sulphur
;
for
all
sharp
things
allay
Choler
,
and
provoke
an
Appetite
.
After
Purging
,
Marmalade
of
Quinces
is
good
,
or
take
this
following
Opiate
:
Take
of
Conserve
of
Wormwood
and
Sorrel
of
each
one
Ounce
:
Conserve
of
Roses
,
Succory
,
and
Buglosse
,
of
each
halfe
an
Ounce
:
Diamargariton
frigidum
,
and
Diarrhodon
Abbatis
,
of
each
one
Drachm
:
Troches
of
Spodium
one
Scruple
,
with
Sirrup
of
Lemmons
,
make
an
Opiate
;
of
which
let
the
Patient
take
the
quantity
of
a
Chesnut
,
Morning
,
Night
,
and
Noon
.
To
the
Stomach
apply
a
Rose
Cake
steeped
in
Vinegar
.
Or
anoint
the
Stomach
outwardly
with
this
Liniment
:
Take
of
Oyle
of
Roses
,
Martles
,
and
Quinces
,
washed
with
Vinegar
of
Roses
,
of
each
two
Ounces
:
all
the
Sanders
,
red
Corall
,
Coriander
seed
prepared
,
and
red
Roses
,
of
each
one
Drachm
:
the
graines
of
Kermes
and
Spodium
,
of
each
half
a
Drachm
:
White
Wax
as
much
as
is
sufficient
to
make
a
Liniment
,
and
anoint
the
Stomach
often
therewith
.
If
a
cold
Distemper
of
the
Stomach
,
draw
crude
,
flegmatick
,
and
inelancholy
Humours
thither
from
other
parts
:
you
must
amend
the
Distempers
of
those
parts
with
Medicines
,
laid
down
in
their
proper
Chapters
.
Then
you
must
evacuate
the
Humours
oppressing
the
Stomach
;
and
afterwards
strengthen
it
.
You
must
evacuate
the
Humours
,
eitherby
Vomit
or
Stool
;
give
no
Vomits
,
but
to
those
who
are
easy
to
vomit
.
Of
Purges
,
Pills
are
most
profitable
,
because
of
their
long
continuance
in
the
Stomach
:
the
last
Booke
will
furnish
you
with
purging
Medicines
.
If
the
Humours
in
the
Stomach
be
tough
,
you
must
dissolve
them
with
Hony
of
Roses
,
Oxymel
,
and
the
like
.
Beware
how
you
administer
Pills
,
which
are
strong
in
operation
,
lest
they
draw
Humours
from
other
parts
to
the
Stomach
.
If
the
Liver
be
very
hot
you
may
be
let
Blood
,
otherwise
not
;
and
in
this
case
,
you
must
administer
such
things
as
cool
the
Liver
.
After
sufficient
Purging
,
you
must
come
to
strengthen
the
Stomach
,
internally
and
externally
:
Take
of
the
Sirrup
of
Wormwood
,
and
Quinces
,
of
each
two
Ounces
:
the
Sirrup
of
Citron
Peels
,
one
Ounce
:
Cinnamon
water
,
four
Ounces
:
the
Spirit
of
Sulphur
,
ten
Drops
:
mix
them
,
and
let
the
Patient
take
a
Spoonfull
or
two
,
Morning
,
Noon
,
and
Night
,
or
oftner
,
as
necessity
requireth
.
Quercetanus
his
Sirrup
of
Cinnamon
is
very
good
,
See
the
last
Book
.
If
the
Disease
be
of
long
continuance
,
let
the
Patient
make
use
of
the
Guajacum
Drink
,
prescribed
in
the
Second
Chapter
of
this
Book
;
the
bath
of
Bath
is
profitable
in
this
Case
.
But
if
a
hot
Liver
attend
a
cold
Stomach
,
as
it
often
doth
,
your
Medicines
ought
to
be
the
more
temperate
,
Zechius
commendeth
this
Bolus
;
Take
of
washed
Turpentine
two
Drachms
:
Powder
of
Mastich
half
a
Drachm
:
Aromaticum
Rosarum
,
half
a
Scruple
;
make
a
Bolus
;
and
let
the
Sick
take
it
two
hours
before
Meat
.
Candied
Nutmegs
and
Ginger
is
good
:
and
it
is
convenient
for
the
Patient
to
drink
his
Beer
warm
.
This
Liniment
is
good
,
Take
of
the
Balsom
of
Peru
,
three
Ounces
:
the
Oyles
of
Nutmegs
,
Wormwood
,
and
Mastich
,
of
each
one
Ounce
;
mix
them
and
anoint
the
Stomach
:
Also
with
these
and
other
ingredients
,
which
have
a
heating
and
expectorating
Quality
you
may
make
Unguents
and
Plaisters
,
to
be
applyed
to
the
Stomach
.
CHAP.
XXXV
.
Of
a
depraved
Appetite
.
The
Appetite
is
depraved
two
wayes
:
Either
in
Quantity
or
Quality
.
If
it
be
depraved
in
Quantity
,
Nourishment
is
desired
in
greater
quantity
then
Nature
would
:
it
is
called
by
the
Greeks
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
by
the
Latines
Fames
Canina
,
whence
we
call
it
,
Dogg's
Appetite
.
It
is
depraved
in
Quality
,
when
things
,
which
are
not
Food
,
but
vitious
and
unwholsome
,
are
desired
,
This
is
called
in
Greek
,
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
or
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
and
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
First
,
those
that
are
troubled
with
the
Dogg's
Appetite
,
do
feed
insatiably
,
and
afterwards
some
do
vomit
like
Dogg's
,
some
do
purge
,
and
others
do
digest
it
,
and
if
they
have
not
more
presently
,
are
sick
.
The
part
affected
,
is
chiefly
the
mouth
of
the
Stomach
:
The
Cause
containing
,
is
Sense
of
sucking
and
vehement
pulling
,
which
stirrs
up
the
Appetite
.
Vicious
Humours
sticking
to
the
mouth
of
the
Stomach
,
by
their
too
much
Coldness
;
Sharpness
or
Sowrness
do
bind
,
wrinkle
,
and
pull
the
mouth
of
the
Stomach
,
and
so
beget
a
false
Appetite
;
Melancholy
,
sent
from
the
Spleen
to
the
Stomach
,
if
it
exceed
and
be
praeternaturall
,
causeth
an
unnatur
all
Appetite
.
It
may
be
caused
by
want
of
Food
,
and
Emptiness
caused
by
too
great
Evacuations
,
by
which
the
Veins
do
continually
suck
.
Somtimes
it
cometh
from
Wormes
in
the
Stomach
,
which
devour
the
Chilus
.
The
Hermetick
Physitians
do
attribute
it
to
a
sharp
,
salt
,
and
devouring
Spirit
or
Faculty
in
the
Stomach
:
which
doth
readily
consume
what
ever
Meat
is
taken
,
as
Aqua
Fortis
doth
quickly
dissolve
the
fixedst
Mettals
,
the
hardest
Stones
into
Liquor
;
and
by
this
meanes
,
doth
not
allow
Nature
a
lawful
and
necessary
bound
of
Nourishment
.
The
Disease
it self
,
needs
no
other
Signe
,
then
the
devouring
of
Meat
.
The
signes
of
the
Causes
may
be
easily
found
;
they
which
manifest
a
cold
Distemper
,
and
sharp
Humours
in
the
Stomach
,
are
belching
and
sharp
vomiting
,
crude
Ejections
,
want
of
Thirst
,
and
external
Causes
of
Refrigeration
.
If
defect
of
Nourishment
is
the
Cause
,
the
Patient
is
Lean
,
and
there
are
Causes
present
,
or
a
foregoing
of
the
decay
of
Moisture
.
If
Wormes
be
the
Cause
,
in
the
Chapter
of
the
Wormes
,
their
signes
shall
be
spoken
of
.
Prog
:
If
this
Disease
,
come
from
external
Causes
,
or
from
Wormes
,
it
is
not
dangerous
:
Judge
the
contrary
,
if
it
follow
Emptinesse
,
and
great
Evacuations
:
or
if
the
Patient
doth
vomit
or
purge
much
,
for
then
the
Body
(
for
the
most
part
)
falleth
into
a
worse
Disease
.
To
cure
this
Disease
,
you
must
purge
,
by
Vomit
or
Stools
,
(
taking
the
Caution
in
the
last
Chapter
)
the
Phlegmatick
and
Melancholy
Humours
,
sticking
to
the
Stomach
;
Then
you
must
labour
to
strengthen
the
Stomach
with
internal
and
external
Medicines
,
prescribed
in
the
former
Chapter
.
Six
graines
of
Ambergrease
taken
in
a
reere
Egg
,
hath
a
special
Quality
to
strengthen
the
Stomach
,
and
cure
the
Disease
.
Narcotick
Medicines
,
by
dulling
the
exquisite
Sense
,
do
sometimes
cure
the
Disease
,
but
must
not
be
used
till
all
other
meanes
fail
,
and
then
advised
by
an
able
Brain
.
Hippocrates
saith
that
Wine
and
Aqua
vitae
is
good
:
and
experience
teacheth
,
that
Oyl
and
Fat
things
,
are
seldom
given
without
Successe
.
Pica
and
Malacia
is
a
depraved
Appetite
,
by
which
unprofitable
and
hurtfull
things
are
desired
.
It
is
caused
by
the
eating
of
evil
Meats
,
by
which
,
the
Stomach
is
disposed
for
the
production
of
Melancholy
and
Phlegmatick
Humours
,
hence
divers
Apperites
of
evill
things
are
engendred
.
Some
desire
things
that
are
sowr
,
sharp
,
bitter
,
and
cold
;
as
Vinegar
,
Juyce
of
Lemmons
and
Orenges
,
cold
Water
,
Snow
,
Ice
,
unripe
Fruits
,
and
the
like
.
Some
do
desire
earthly
,
dry
,
and
burnt
things
;
as
Nutmegs
,
Cloves
,
Cinnamon
,
and
other
Spices
:
Salt
,
Ashes
,
Coles
,
Chalk
,
Tobacco-Pipes
,
Lime
,
Oat-meal
,
Tar
,
Candles
,
and
such
like
.
This
Disease
happeneth
,
for
the
most
part
,
to
Women
with
Child
,
or
to
Maids
which
have
the
Green-sicknesse
,
who
having
their
Termes
stopped
,
and
staying
,
corrupteth
the
Body
,
and
ascending
,
infecteth
the
Stomach
,
and
taketh
the
Appetite
from
its
Natural
Condition
.
Sometimes
(
though
seldom
)
Men
and
Boyes
,
are
thus
troubled
:
Fernelius
speaks
of
a
Noble
man
,
who
having
an
extraordinary
Appetite
to
Lime
,
did
devour
a
piece
as
big
as
his
fist
,
without
offending
his
Stomach
or
Bowels
.
The
Cause
of
this
Disease
may
be
found
out
by
the
things
desired
:
For
if
they
desire
Coles
,
Salt
,
or
the
like
,
we
may
conclude
,
that
the
Disease
depends
upon
salt
and
burnt
Humours
.
This
Disease
is
Chronical
,
and
of
Continuance
,
but
is
seldom
dangerous
:
yet
somtimes
if
the
Stomach
cannot
be
reduced
to
its
former
Condition
,
Obstructions
,
Evill
habits
,
Dropsies
,
and
Cardialgiaes
,
are
produced
.
The
more
contrary
to
Nature
the
things
desired
are
,
the
farther
distant
is
the
Stomach
from
the
Natural
Temper
.
If
you
aim
at
the
Cure
,
it
differeth
not
from
the
former
:
but
you
must
consider
the
variety
of
the
Bodyes
affected
.
If
this
Disease
happen
to
a
Man
,
it
hath
its
original
from
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
you
must
seek
the
Cure
in
their
proper
Chapters
.
If
Women
with
Child
are
thus
affected
,
be
sparing
in
giving
Medicines
,
for
fear
of
Miscarriage
:
for
the
most
part
they
are
freed
of
it
in
the
fourth
Moneth
.
If
the
Green-sickness
in
Maids
be
the
Cause
of
this
Effect
;
seek
the
Cure
in
the
Chapter
of
the
Green-sickness
.

The

which
maketh
the
Stomach
sensible
of
their
wants
:
It
is
caused
by
those
things
,
which
have
a
Power
to
consume
and
dry
up
the
Moisture
of
the
Stomach
and
whole
Body
.
It
is
caused
also
by
Propriety
or
Sympathy
:
by
Propriety
,
when
the
Moisture
of
the
Stomach
is
altered
or
drawne
forth
by
a
hot
,
dry
,
salt
,
sharp
,
or
filthy
Humour
,
contained
in
his
Cavity
.
By
Sympathy
,
when
the
whole
Body
,
or
some
particular
Member
,
having
lost
its
Moisture
,
doth
suck
Moisture
from
the
Stomach
:
For
the
Veins
having
lost
their
Moisture
,
endeavour
to
recruite
themselves
with
the
Stomach's
moisture
,
as
it
happeneth
in
Feavers
,
Inflammations
of
the
Liver
,
Lungs
,
and
a
hot
and
dry
Distemper
of
the
Reins
,
causeth
Diabetes
or
a
continual
Pissing
,
and
is
accompanied
with
great
Thirst
,
and
therefore
is
called
Dipsacus
.
The
outward
causes
also
are
all
such
things
as
heat
and
dry
:
the
use
of
salt
,
sharp
,
and
spiced
Meats
;
Excess
of
old
rich
Wine
:
Watchings
,
or
immoderate
Evacuations
.
The
Sons
of
Hermes
conclude
,
that
praeternatural
Thirst
is
caused
by
thirsty
Spirits
,
bred
of
sulphureous
Excrements
:
whose
Thirst
cannot
be
satisfied
with
ordinary
cooling
Medicines
:
unlesse
the
sharp
spirits
of
Vitriol
,
Sulphur
,
or
Salt
,
be
added
to
them
.
The
Knowledge
of
the
Disease
is
easy
,
of
the
Cause
,
and
the
Part
affected
,
not
difficult
.
Of
the
Disease
,
the
Patients
Complaint
for
want
of
Drink
,
will
inform
you
:
Likewise
the
Cause
may
be
distinguished
,
by
the
Tasts
,
which
are
hot
,
dry
,
salt
,
bitter
,
sharp
,
and
the
like
.
Lastly
,
the
Tasts
do
not
onely
distinguish
the
peccant
Humour
,
but
also
that
the
part
affected
is
the
Mouth
of
the
Stomach
:
but
if
Thirst
come
by
consent
from
other
parts
,
the
Signes
of
those
Diseases
will
be
manifest
.
The
Thirst
which
comes
from
external
Causes
,
is
easily
quenched
with
Drink
:
that
which
comes
from
internal
Causes
,
are
more
or
lesse
dangerous
,
according
to
their
differences
.
Thirst
accompanying
Feavers
,
ends
with
them
,
and
their
Cures
shall
be
set
down
in
their
proper
places
.
Thirst
in
a
Dropsy
is
not
allayed
,
but
rather
encreased
by
Drink
,
and
is
most
dangerous
.
If
it
be
caused
by
immoderate
Evacuations
:
Suppress
the
Evacuations
,
and
restore
the
Empty
Parts
with
cooling
and
moistning
Medicines
,
such
as
are
prescribed
in
the
Cure
of
the
Feaver
Hectick
and
Marasmus

Of
evill
Digestion
.
The
Concoction
of
the
Stomach
is
hurt
three
wayes
:
viz.
it
may
be
diminished
,
depraved
,
or
abolished
,
Concoction
diminished
is
called
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ

,
depraved
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
abolished
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
The
fault
of
Concoction
,
is
either
in
the
Organ
,
Object
,
External
or
Internal
things
.
The
fault
in
the
Organ
comprehendeth
all
Diseases
in
the
Stomach
:
For
since
digestion
is
made
in
the
Stomack
by
a
moderate
natural
Heat
,
if
it
want
its
Moderation
,
the
digestive
Faculty
is
hurt
.
A
cold
Distemper
of
the
Stomach
,
if
it
be
gentle
,
diminisheth
the
Heat
,
and
weakneth
Concoction
.
If
it
be
greater
it
abolisheth
it
:
A
hot
distemper
in
the
Stomach
depraveth
the
Faculty
,
and
causeth
difficult
Concoction
.
Though
these
Distempers
are
somtimes
simple
,
yet
many
times
,
they
are
joyned
with
Matter
,
as
Phlegm
,
and
black
Humours
caused
by
Hypocondriack
Melancholy
,
which
cause
Crudities
,
sowr
Belchings
,
Rumblings
,
Winds
,
and
the
like
.
The
fault
of
the
Object
is
thus
considered
,
when
the
Nourishment
,
which
is
the
proper
Object
of
the
Stomach
,
offendeth
,
in
Substance
,
Quantity
,
Quality
,
or
Time
.
Nourishment
offendeth
the
Stomach
,
in
Substance
,
when
it
is
too
hard
and
difficult
to
be
concocted
.
In
Quantity
,
it
offendeth
the
Stomach
,
when
either
too
much
is
taken
at
once
,
that
the
natural
Heat
cannot
digest
it
,
but
some
part
of
it
remaineth
Crude
:
Lesse
taken
then
Nature
requireth
,
becometh
Crude
also
,
when
it
is
dryed
or
burnt
in
a
Cholerick
Stomach
.
In
Quality
,
Food
offendeth
,
when
it
is
either
too
hot
,
or
dry
,
or
too
cold
,
moist
,
and
windy
for
the
Stomach
.
In
respect
of
Time
,
Nourishment
may
offend
the
Stomach
,
If
a
Man
contrary
to
his
order
in
Diet
,
doth
eat
liberally
a
little
before
he
goeth
to
Bed
,
this
may
hurt
concoction
.
External
or
internal
Meanes
may
hurt
the
concoctive
Faculty
:
Namely
,
an
Aire
too
hot
may
dissipate
the
natural
Heat
;
an
Aire
too
cold
may
dull
it
:
Immoderate
Excercise
,
especially
after
Meat
,
draweth
the
Heat
from
the
Stomach
to
the
External
parts
;
and
drives
the
imperfect
Chylus
into
the
Guts
,
and
so
weakens
Concoction
.
Costiveness
of
the
Belly
,
or
a
Flux
;
immoderate
Watching
,
or
sleep
in
the
day
time
;
deep
Study
upon
a
full
Stomach
;
Sadness
and
other
Passions
of
the
Mind
,
do
hinder
the
Actions
of
the
Stomach
.
The
Hermetick
Physitians
add
another
Cause
,
for
they
say
(
and
not
without
reason
)
that
a
sharp
Liquor
sent
from
the
Spleen
to
the
Stomach
,
which
hath
a
great
power
to
dissolve
,
in
its
Natural
State
,
causeth
a
laudable
Concoction
;
&
that
concoction
is
not
made
by
Heat
onely
:
For
Meat
boyled
in
a
Pot
,
with
a
strong
Heat
many
dayes
,
is
not
dissolved
:
and
Bones
in
a
Doggs
Stomach
are
quickly
dissolved
:
Likewise
Fishes
do
quickly
dissolve
their
Meat
,
though
they
have
no
actuall
Heat
.
Birds
do
quickly
concoct
the
hardest
Seeds
,
and
small
pebble
Stones
,
and
they
have
a
Spleen
round
about
their
Maw
;
and
that
there
is
a
dissolving
Spirit
inhaerent
in
the
Gizzards
of
Birds
,
the
Physical
practice
doth
prove
,
being
often
used
in
Medicines
to
help
Concoction
,
dissolve
the
Stone
,
and
the
like
.
The
Signes
of
a
diminished
or
abolished
Concoction
,
is
the
same
,
differing
onely
in
Degrees
:
viz.
sowr
Belchngs
,
Vomiting
or
Purging
forth
of
Food
either
not
well
,
or
not
at
all
concocted
;
Weight
,
Extension
,
and
Inflammation
of
the
Stomach
;
the
Patient
sensible
of
some
cold
Cause
going
before
,
and
is
worse
by
taking
of
cold
things
:
the
Urine
thin
,
&
pale
like
Water
,
and
sometimes
thick
and
red
.
If
the
concoctive
Faculty
be
depraved
,
the
Patient
is
sensible
of
stinking
Belchings
,
and
the
like
Tast
in
the
Mouth
,
of
Heat
and
Thirst
;
and
is
prejudiced
by
Hot
things
.
If
it
come
from
external
Causes
,
the
Patient
,
or
some
about
him
will
be
able
to
demonstrate
it
;
if
it
come
by
consent
from
other
Parts
,
their
Signes
must
be
considered
.
Concoction
hurt
by
consent
from
other
Parts
,
is
easier
cured
,
then
that
,
which
is
proper
to
the
Stomach
,
onely
that
which
cometh
from
external
Causes
,
is
cured
easiest
of
all
.
Concoction
diminished
,
though
it
be
not
the
worst
,
yet
it
bringeth
many
inconveniencies
,
as
the
Chollick
,
Chachexy
,
and
somtimes
the
Dropsy
.
Concoction
abolished
is
worst
,
because
all
Parts
are
frustrated
of
their
Nourishment
,
and
deadly
Diseases
follow
,
as
the
Lientery
,
Dropsy
,
Atrophy
,
&c.
A
depraved
Concoction
is
the
cause
of
many
Evills
likewise
,
as
Obstructions
,
Scabs
,
Feavers
.
&c.
To
cure
the
Disease
,
you
must
remove
the
Antecedent
,
Conjunct
,
and
External
cause
:
The
Stomach
must
be
cleansed
of
the
offending
Humours
,
and
then
strengthened
,
seek
Medicines
in
the
Chap.
of
Want
of
Appetite
.
If
it
come
by
consent
,
you
must
amend
the
Parts
sending
the
Humours
:
their
proper
Chapters
will
furnish
you
with

Of
the
Hiccough

ใโใ

ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
in
Greek
,
and
Singultus
in
Latine
,
in
English
Hiccough
,
is
a
depraved
motion
of
the
Stomach
,
by
which
it
desireth
to
expell
somthing
which
is
hurtfull
.
It
is
caused
(
according
to
Hippocrates
)
of
Fulnesse
or
Emptinesse
;
sometimes
(
saith
Galen
)
by
Provocation
.
The
matter
causing
the
Hiccough
,
is
either
gathered
in
the
Stomach
;
or
is
sent
from
other
Parts
.
Sharp
Humours
,
Nourishment
,
or
Medicines
;
or
gnawing
Worms
in
the
Stomach
,
may
cause
a
Hiccough
by
propriety
:
It
is
caused
by
consent
,
when
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Guts
,
or
other
Parts
,
being
inflamed
,
send
offensive
Vapours
,
or
Water
to
the
Stomach
.
A
Tumor
in
the
Liver
(
being
inflamed
)
doth
compresse
the
Stomach
,
and
so
provoke
the
expulsive
Faculty
;
finally
,
sharp
Humours
,
sent
from
all
parts
of
the
Body
,
in
malignant
Feavers
,
may
be
the
cause
of
the
Hiccough
.
Diagnostick
signes
are
,
if
the
Disease
come
by
Propriety
,
it
is
more
lasting
,
and
is
eased
by
Vomit
:
the
signes
of
the
Humours
in
the
Stomach
,
appear
by
the
Tast
in
the
Mouth
,
Belchings
,
&c.
If
it
come
from
any
other
part
of
the
Body
,
their
proper
Signes
will
declare
it
.
Prognosticks
are
.
If
the
Hiccough
be
caused
by
Meat
,
Drink
,
of
Cold
,
it
is
not
dangerous
.
But
if
it
come
in
a
malignant
or
great
Feaver
,
and
continue
,
it
is
deadly
.
The
same
you
may
judge
,
if
the
Hiccough
(
accompanied
with
redness
of
the
Eyes
,
in
an
acute
Disease
)
invade
the
Patient
after
Vomiting
.
Singultus
from
the
inflammation
of
the
Liver
is
also
hurtfull
.
For
the
cure
,
you
must
,
(
if
the
disease
come
from
a
cold
cause
,
)
First
,
administer
medicine
,
which
do
cut
and
prepare
the
Humours
,
as
Vinegar
,
and
Oxymel
of
Squils
,
and
Oxymel
Simplex
:
then
evacuate
the
Humours
by
Purge
or
Vomit
,
and
then
strengthen
the
Stomach
:
use
the
Medicines
prescribed
in
the
Chapter
of
Want
of
Appetite
,
comming
of
a
cold
Cause
:
if
the
Disease
be
violent
,
add
these
following
:
Take
of
Castor
and
Mirrh
,
of
each
,
three
Drachms
:
Sal
Gem
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Diagridium
and
Mastich
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
Agarick
newly
trochiscated
three
Drachms
:
Aloes
,
the
weight
of
all
the
rest
:
with
the
juice
of
Mints
:
make
them
up
into
a
Mass
,
and
of
one
Drachm
make
six
gilded
Pills
:
Let
your
Patient
take
two
or
three
in
the
Morning
.
Riverius
.
If
Wind
in
the
Stomach
be
the
Cause
:
Take
of
Dill-Seed
,
Sweet
Fennell
and
Annis-Seed
,
of
each
one
Ounce
,
Juniper
Berries
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Cloves
,
a
Drachm
:
Macerate
them
in
good
Wine
,
or
Spirit
of
Wine
,
and
distill
it
in
Baineo
.
If
sharp
and
chollerick
Humours
be
the
cause
of
the
Hiccough
,
you
must
give
Oyl
of
Sweet
Almonds
,
Prisan
Broth
,
Sirrup
of
Apples
and
Quinces
,
&
the
Emulsion
of
the
Cold
Seeds
:
foment
the
Stomach
with
a
Spung
dipt
in
Rose
Water
,
or
apply
a
cooling
Oyntment
to
the
Stomach
.
Sneezing
hath
been
attended
with
admirable
successe
;
Vomiting
with
little
lesse
,
but
have
a
care
how
you
administer
Vomits
to
weak
People
;
Drinking
of
Milk
fom
the
Cow
is
much
commended
,
and
somtimes
proves
succesful
.
Narcoticks
somtimes
effect
the
Cure
by
stupifying
the
too
too
Exquisite
sense
of
the
Stomach
.

Of
Vomiting

ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
Nausea
,
and
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
Vomiting
,
differ
onely
in
Degrees
:
the
first
,
is
a
Desire
to
vomit
up
,
what
soever
troubles
the
Stomach
,
either
in
Quantity
or
Quality
,
but
cannot
,
either
by
reason
of
the
weaknesse
or
the
Stomach
,
strength
of
the
upper
Orifice
,
or
thicknesse
or
sliminesse
of
the
Matter
.
But
Vomiting
is
a
depraved
motion
of
the
Stomach
,
which
shaketh
it
,
by
which
the
expulsive
Faculty
is
stirred
up
,
by
contracting
the
Fibres
of
the
Lower
part
,
and
loosening
the
Superior
,
and
with
a
violent
motion
casteth
forth
the
Matter
contained
therein
,
which
was
trouble
some
to
it
.
The
Causes
of
Vomiting
are
external
or
internal
,
and
is
divided
into
Natural
or
Artificial
:
the
Natural
is
either
without
or
in
a
Disease
,
and
is
thus
divided
,
it
is
either
Periodical
,
Critical
,
or
Symptomatical
.
Periodical
vomiting
,
is
without
a
Disease
,
and
is
used
by
many
twice
in
a
year
or
oftener
,
to
cleanse
the
Stomach
of
cholerick
or
phlegmatick
Humours
,
and
to
prevent
Disease
.
Critical
vomiting
,
is
when
Nature
,
in
a
disease
,
casts
forth
her
Enemy
.
Symptomatical
vomiting
,
is
when
Nature
is
provoked
and
weakned
,
and
is
not
eased
by
it
,
because
she
is
not
strong
enough
utterly
to
expel
it
:
the
Matter
vomited
is
either
Excrements
:
as
Phlegm
,
Choler
,
Melancholy
,
Water
,
Matter
,
Wormes
,
and
the
like
:
or
Nourishment
,
as
Meat
,
Chylus
,
or
Blood
.
Artificial
Vomiting
,
is
from
an
external
Cause
:
as
Compression
of
the
lower
Belly
,
Stroaks
,
Falls
,
violent
Excorcise
,
Riding
,
Sayling
on
the
Sea
,
Poysonous
Aire
,
or
Breath
,
stinking
Smels
,
or
beholding
some
Filthy
thing
.
External
Causes
may
provoke
Nature
,
as
Vomits
taken
;
Some
Nourishment
is
distastful
to
some
Stomachs
,
and
causeth
vomiting
:
Hippoceates
reporteth
that
one
eating
Mushtooms
died
vomiting
:
Meats
which
are
Fat
&
Oyly
are
praeposterous
to
some
Stomachs
:
Omitting
Gluttony
,
which
is
many
times
the
Cause
.
The
whole
Body
in
a
Plethory
,
evil
Habit
,
Feavers
,
and
other
Diseases
of
the
Body
,
may
be
the
Cause
:
Inflammations
or
Obstructions
of
other
Parts
,
as
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Mesentery
,
or
Bowels
,
the
Terms
or
Hemorrhoids
stopped
,
a
Catarrh
,
or
the
like
may
cause
Vomiting
.
If
Vomiting
be
caused
by
Humours
offending
the
Stomach
,
or
by
an
Organical
disease
therein
,
you
may
find
the
signes
thereof
in
the
praeceding
Chapters
of
diseases
of
the
Stomach
.
If
it
come
by
Sympathy
from
other
Parts
,
their
proper
signes
will
informe
.
Make
the
Prognostick
thus
:
Choler
and
Phlegme
exquisitely
mingled
and
vomited
up
,
is
good
.
If
the
Sick
vomit
Critically
,
and
cast
forth
Choler
in
a
cholerick
Distemper
,
and
Phlegm
in
a
phlegmatick
,
it
is
hopeful
.
Violent
vomiting
,
and
little
brought
up
,
in
a
Feaver
is
evil
:
for
it
shews
abundance
of
Matter
,
or
that
Nature
is
weak
.
Vomiting
,
after
a
Flux
of
the
Belly
,
is
good
,
for
there
is
a
revulsion
of
the
Matter
,
and
Nature
is
refreshed
.
Vomiting
of
divers
Colours
is
dangerous
,
because
Nature
hath
to
do
with
divers
Enemies
.
Green
,
blew
,
black
,
and
stinking
Matter
vomited
,
is
deadly
.
In
Feavers
acute
,
if
the
Patient
vomit
without
mixture
of
Humours
,
it
is
an
evil
signe
,
because
that
a
pure
Humour
is
not
capable
of
Concoction
.
For
the
Cure
:
If
the
Disease
come
by
consent
from
other
parts
,
remove
the
Cause
by
working
their
Cures
.
If
phlegmatick
,
cholerick
,
or
melancholy
Humours
provoke
the
Stomach
,
cast
them
forth
by
vomiting
:
prepare
and
cut
them
if
they
be
tough
and
clammy
.
Give
gentle
Vomits
,
as
warm
Oyl
:
or
white
Vitriol
prepared
:
or
Salt
of
Vitriol
made
red
by
Calcination
,
for
they
cleanse
and
dissolve
the
glutinous
Matter
.
If
your
Patient
be
weak
and
indisposed
to
Vomits
,
give
often
Clisters
or
purge
the
Body
with
this
or
the
like
Pills
.
Take
de
Aloe
lota
,
three
Drachms
;
yellow
Myrabolans
,
and
Rubarb
in
Powder
,
of
each
,
half
a
Drachm
:
red
Sanders
,
and
prepared
Coral
,
of
each
,
one
Scruple
:
with
the
Sirrup
of
Roses
solutive
,
make
them
into
a
Mass
:
give
a
Drachm
every
other
or
third
day
:
and
if
the
Sick
be
weak
,
give
but
half
so
much
.
If
the
Vomiting
be
violent
,
give
two
Scruples
and
an
half
of
Cochie
the
lesse
,
with
three
grains
of
Laudanum
in
the
morning
.
Then
you
must
strengthen
the
Stomach
,
with
the
sirrup
or
conserve
of
Quinces
,
conserve
of
Roses
,
Mastick
in
a
small
quantity
,
sirrup
of
Mints
,
Plantane
water
made
sowr
with
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
&c.
All
these
strengthen
the
Stomach
and
stay
Vomiting
,
of
which
you
may
make
Medicines
in
divers
forms
.
Foment
the
Stomach
with
a
sponge
dipt
in
Plantane
water
,
Rose
water
,
and
Rose
Vinegar
.
But
First
,

CHAP.
XL.
Of
Cholera
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
in
Greek
,
and
Cholerica
Passio
in
Latine
,
is
a
Disease
,
violently
sending
forth
by
Vomit
&
Stool
,
sharp
and
cholerick
Humours
:
this
Disease
is
a
symptom
of
the
expulsive
Faculty
being
hurt
,
by
Meats
not
well
concocted
,
and
if
the
retentive
Faculty
be
also
in
fault
,
the
Disease
is
the
worse
and
more
violent
.
Some
will
have
two
sorts
of
Choller
,
a
moist
and
a
dry
;
A
moist
is
that
which
hath
relation
to
what
hath
been
said
.
The
dry
is
more
rare
,
and
cometh
from
a
windy
spirit
,
produced
in
the
Stomach
,
by
the
fiery
Heat
of
the
Part
corrupting
the
Meat
:
or
by
Meats
which
are
Rank
and
Windy
,
and
this
is
the
opinion
of
Hippocrates
himself
.
Sennertus
(
from
the
Hermetical
doctrine
)
addeth
another
Cause
,
viz.
Salt
and
adust
Humours
in
the
Hypochonaria
,
which
grow
hot
by
the
mixture
of
another
Humour
,
and
demonstrateth
it
,
by
the
mixing
of
Aqua
fortis
,
and
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
with
Salt
of
Tartar
,
which
produce
very
flatuous
Spirits
.
So
that
the
immediate
Causes
of
this
Disease
are
cholerick
,
burnt
,
sharp
,
salt
,
or
rotten
Humours
in
the
Stomach
,
Bowels
,
Spleen
,
Mesentery
;
or
some
Nourishment
of
an
evil
Quality
,
or
some
strong
Medicine
,
or
Poyson
taken
.
The
signes
of
this
Disease
are
often
and
plentiful
Evacuations
of
cholerick
,
sharp
,
and
corrupted
Humours
,
by
Vomit
and
Stool
:
swelling
with
Wind
,
Thirst
,
and
a
Gnawing
of
the
Stomach
and
Guts
:
a
Loathing
,
which
is
appeased
a
little
with
cold
Drink
which
is
soon
after
cast
up
.
The
Pulse
is
small
and
unequal
:
Sweating
,
with
Convulsion
of
extream
Parts
,
&
Swooning
,
and
such
dangerous
Symptoms
.
It
is
easily
discovered
whether
the
Cause
come
by
some
violent
Medicine
,
Poyson
,
or
offensive
Diet.
The
internal
Causes
are
known
by
the
Quality
of
the
Humours
,
that
are
ejected
.
If
there
be
a
continual
Loathing
and
Gnawing
,
the
Disease
is
in
the
Stomach
.
If
a
malignant
Feaver
be
joyned
,
it
is
in
the
Veins
.
If
it
hath
its
original
from
some
evil
Food
,
there
is
hopes
,
that
when
the
Matter
is
cast
forth
the
Disease
will
end
.
If
it
be
very
violent
,
it
is
dangerous
,
I
had
almost
said
desperate
:
for
the
greater
the
Convulsions
,
Swoonings
,
and
Coldnesse
of
the
extream
Parts
be
,
the
nearer
is
Death
at
hand
.
In
the
beginning
of
the
Cure
,
you
may
help
forward
Evacuations
,
with
gentle
,
cooling
,
and
cleansing
Clisters
,
thus
:
Take
,
of
Milk
,
half
a
pint
;
Sirrup
of
Violets
,
and
Lettice
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
The
Oyles
of
Roses
and
water
Lillyes
,
of
each
halfe
an
ounce
;
The
yelks
of
two
new
laid
Eggs
well
beaten
,
mix
them
and
give
it
.
Or
you
make
a
Clister
with
Chicken
Broth
or
Oxycrate
.
It
is
good
to
open
a
Vein
,
by
which
means
,
the
burnt
and
boiling
Blood
may
be
cooled
,
revelled
,
and
asswaged
:
but
do
it
with
discretion
,
twice
or
thrice
if
the
strength
be
not
impaired
by
the
first
.
You
must
endeavour
to
qualify
the
sharpness
of
the
Humours
,
thus
:
Take
,
of
the
waters
of
Plantane
,
Purslan
,
and
Mint
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
Sirrup
of
Quinces
and
dried
Roses
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
;
Sirrup
of
Vinegar
,
half
an
Ounce
;
mix
them
,
and
dissolve
therein
two
Scruples
of
Theriack
Andromachi
,
and
six
drops
of
the
Oyl
of
Vitriol
:
give
now
and
then
a
Spoonful
.
But
,
if
the
Patient
hath
someease
,
and
the
Symptomes
abate
,
or
appear
not
,
beware
lest
they
suddenly
return
and
destroy
the
Patient
,
as
it
sometimes
happeneth
in
this
case
.
Therefore
nourish
him
and
strengthen
his
Stomach
with
this
restoring
Opiate
:
Take
of
the
Gelly
of
Harts-horn
made
with
Canary
Wine
,
four
Ounces
:
of
the
Conserves
of
Roses
,
Burrage
,
Bugloss
,
and
Clove-Gilliflowers
,
of
each
one
Ounce
:
Confectio
Alchermes
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Citron
Barks
,
and
Nutmegs
candied
,
of
each
three
Drachms
:
the
Essence
of
Cloves
,
Mace
,
Nutmegs
,
and
Cinnamon
,
of
each
three
drops
,
with
the
Sirrup
of
Clove-Gilliflowers
make
an
Opiate
;
of
which
let
the
Patient
take
often
the
Quantity
of
a
hazel
Nut
,
and
more
,
Mornings
and
Evenings
.
To
conclude
,
the
Medicines
prescribed
in
the
last
Chapter
,
against
cholerick
Vomitings
,
may
be
useful
here
.
CHAP.
XLI
.
Of
Pain
in
the
Stomach
.
Dolor
Ventriculi
or
Pain
in
the
Stomach
,
is
caused
by
naughty
,
venemous
,
and
gnawing
Humours
contained
therein
:
the
Ancients
made
this
distinction
,
viz.
that
if
the
upper
Orifice
of
the
Stomach
,
which
is
of
exquisite
sense
,
by
reason
of
the
great
Nerve
,
which
it
hath
from
the
fifth
Conjugation
,
be
affected
;
the
Pain
is
very
sharp
,
which
maketh
the
Heart
,
(
the
most
Noble
part
,
and
near
unto
it
)
sensible
of
the
same
,
from
thence
it
is
called
Cardialgia
.
But
if
the
Membranes
of
the
Cavity
,
or
lower
Orifice
(
called
Pyloras
)
be
affected
,
it
is
called
Dolor
Ventriculi
:
or
Colica
Ventriculi
,
especially
if
it
comes
of
Wind.
The
Cause
of
this
Disease
,
is
either
Worms
gnawing
the
Tunicles
of
the
Stomach
:
or
Wind
lodged
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Stomach
,
which
causeth
Swelling
and
painful
Distension
:
or
sharp
and
malignant
Humours
therein
contained
,
as
salt
Phlegm
,
green
and
black
Choller
,
whose
sharp
Vapours
cause
Pain
:
corrupt
Matter
from
an
Imposthume
of
the
Liver
or
the
Breast
;
Diseases
of
the
Stomach
and
the
Parts
adjoyning
;
evil
Humours
from
the
whole
Body
in
Feavers
;
Choller
from
the
Liver
;
Melancholy
from
the
Spleen
;
and
salt
Phlegm
from
the
Head
;
all
these
may
be
the
Causes
of
this
Evill
.
The
external
Causes
may
be
evil
and
corrupt
Nourishment
;
or
Meats
that
are
too
hot
;
that
breed
Wind
or
Choller
:
Meat
taken
in
too
great
a
Quantity
:
Poyson
:
strong
,
sharp
,
and
deadly
Medicines
,
not
well
corrected
.
Diagnostick
Signes
are
thus
taken
:
when
the
Pain
is
under
the
Ensiformis
,
it
shews
that
the
upper
Orifice
of
the
Stomach
is
affected
:
a
very
sharp
Pain
,
that
the
Patient
cannot
rest
,
and
sometimes
fainteth
:
the
Vapours
sometimes
offend
the
Brain
,
and
cause
inveterate
Head-Ach
,
the
Megrim
,
Vertigo
,
and
Epilepsy
.
In
the
other
parts
of
the
Stomach
,
there
are
not
so
violent
Symptomes
,
but
great
Paines
like
the
Chollick
.
Thus
you
may
know
the
Causes
.
The
Humours
offending
,
may
be
known
by
the
Excrements
avoided
at
the
Belly
or
Mouth
:
also
Choller
,
Phlegm
,
Wind
,
or
Worms
may
be
knowne
by
their
proper
Signes
.
The
Diseases
of
the
Stomach
or
parts
adjoyning
,
causing
this
Disease
,
may
be
known
by
their
proper
Signes
.
Prog
:
This
Disease
is
more
dangerous
then
any
other
Disease
of
the
Stomach
:
The
danger
is
greater
if
a
Feaver
accompany
it
:
if
the
extream
Parts
be
cold
,
Death
is
at
hand
:
thus
saith
Hippocrates
.
It
is
least
dangerous
if
it
proceed
from
Worms
;
yet
sometimes
dangerous
Symptoms
appear
,
and
the
Patient
dyes
:
sometimes
,
if
the
cause
of
Wind
cannot
be
removed
,
a
dry
Dropsy
followeth
.
If
it
come
from
other
Parts
,
there
begin
your
Cure
;
if
it
be
in
the
Stomach
properly
,
consider
the
peccant
Humour
.
If
Wind
be
the
Cause
,
first
,
administer
a
Clister
:
Take
of
Camomil
,
Penny-royall
,
Miats
,
and
Pellitory
of
the
Wall
,
of
each
,
one
handful
:
the
Seeds
of
Annise
,
Fennel
,
Cummin
,
and
Dill
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
make
a
Decoction
in
white
Wine
Posset
Drink
:
add
Benedicta
Laxativa
,
half
an
Ounce
:
the
Oyls
of
Dill
,
Rue
,
and
Chamomil
,
of
each
half
an
Ounce
:
the
Chymical
Oyl
of
Juniper
Berries
,
ten
Drops
,
make
a
Clister
,
and
give
it
or
the
like
,
as
often
as
need
requireth
.
Make
a
Fomentation
,
with
the
Herbs
and
Seeds
aforesaid
,
or
with
others
of
the
like
Nature
:
then
anoint
the
Stomach
with
the
Oyls
of
Sage
and
Cloves
Chymical
,
Oyl
of
Dill
,
Camomil
,
Rue
,
and
the
like
.
Then
administer
this
or
the
like
Julep
,
which
hath
power
to
asswage
Pain
,
discusse
Wind
,
and
strengthen
the
Stomach
:
Take
of
Wormwood
,
Pennyvoyall
,
Century
the
lesse
,
and
Agrimony
,
of
each
,
one
handful
:
the
Flowers
of
Camomill
,
and
Juniper
Berryes
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Seeds
of
sweet
Fennel
,
and
Anise
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
Boil
them
in
a
Quart
of
white
wine
to
the
consumption
of
half
,
sweeten
it
with
the
compound
Sirrups
of
Wormwood
and
Betony
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
.
Let
the
Patient
take
a
spoonful
of
this
often
,
and
six
spoonfuls
Night
and
Morning
:
this
have
I
often
proved
with
good
successe
,
let
the
Cause
be
what
it
will
.
If
the
Disease
be
yet
too
stubborn
to
yeeld
to
ordinary
Medicines
,
make
a
Bath
of
mollifying
Herbs
,
and
let
the
Patient
sit
in
it
,
giving
inward
discussing
Medicines
.
In
vehement
Pain
,
some
do
give
a
Purge
,
and
mix
Narcoticks
with
it
,
to
allay
the
Pain
,
and
this
following
is
much
commended
by
Forestus
:
Take
of
Diaphenicon
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Philonium
Romanum
,
two
Scruples
:
with
Camomil
water
,
(
in
want
thereof
,
the
Decoction
)
make
a
Potion
.
If
Choller
cause
pain
,
purge
it
,
administer
Juleps
cooling
and
thickning
.
Foment
the
Stomach
,
and
apply
a
Cataplasm
made
of
mollifying
,
cooling
,
and
discussing
Herbs
and
Seeds
.

XLII
.
Of
the
Inflammation
,
Ulcer
,
and
Imposthume
of
the
Stomach
.
The
Inflammation
of
the
Stomach
is
a
Tumor
comming
of
Blood
,
sent
into
the
Stomach
and
its
Membranes
,
from
the
Vena
Porta
,
by
the
small
Veins
;
which
Blood
is
either
pure
,
and
maketh
a
proper
Phlegm
;
or
mixed
with
Choller
,
and
maketh
an
Erisipelatous
,
or
with
Phlegm
,
making
an
Oedmatous
,
or
with
Melancholy
,
making
a
Schirrous
Tumor
.
In
a
word
,
all
things
that
may
inflame
the
Blood
,
may
be
the
Cause
of
this
Tumor
.
Diagnostick
Signes
are
,
great
Pain
,
burning
,
pricking
,
distending
,
beating
,
even
to
the
Back
:
you
may
see
or
feel
the
Tumor
;
belching
,
and
sometimes
vomiting
of
Blood
,
and
the
Breath
is
ferched
difficultly
,
and
a
burning
Feaver
.
If
it
be
onely
of
Blood
,
it
is
somwhat
gentler
:
but
if
it
be
with
Choller
,
there
are
grievcus
Symptoms
.
But
be
carefull
to
distinguish
this
Inflammation
,
from
that
of
the
upper
side
of
the
Liver
:
see
the
Chap.
of
the
Inflammation
of
the
Liver
.
This
Disease
for
the
most
part
is
deadly
.
If
the
Inflammation
be
in
the
upper
part
of
the
Stomach
,
or
over
the
whole
,
or
much
loathing
of
the
Stomach
,
or
rumbling
in
the
Belly
,
all
these
are
deadly
Symptoms
.
If
the
Inflammation
kill
not
,
and
the
Feaver
and
Pain
ceaseth
,
and
the
Tumor
remain
,
then
it
turns
to
an
Imposthume
;
which
being
broken
,
there
remaineth
an
Ulcer
,
which
is
known
by
voiding
of
Matter
by
Vomit
and
Stool
.
But
an
Ulcer
may
be
bred
in
the
Stomach
from
other
Causes
,
as
sharp
,
salt
,
cholerick
Humours
bred
in
the
Stomach
,
or
sent
thither
from
other
parts
:
the
breach
of
a
Vein
,
which
could
not
grow
together
again
:
a
Wound
not
well
cured
:
Poyson
,
or
corroding
Medicines
taken
.
The
Signes
of
an
Ulcer
bred
in
the
Stomach
,
are
the
same
with
the
former
;
to
which
I
add
these
:
a
constant
lingring
Feaver
,
stinking
Belching
,
no
Appetite
,
a
pricking
Pain
and
Burning
,
when
any
thing
is
taken
,
which
is
hot
,
cold
,
sharp
,
salt
,
or
sowr
.
This
Disease
for
the
most
part
is
deadly
,
because
Cleansers
encrease
Pain
,
and
Dryers
cannot
execute
their
Office
,
but
are
hindred
by
Meat
,
Drink
,
and
Chylus
.
The
Cure
of
theso
Diseases
,
must
be
diversly
considered
.
Purging
is
altogether
prohibited
,
lest
more
Humours
be
gathered
to
the
Stomach
,
but
give
an
emollient
and
cooling
Clyster
every
day
,
such
an
one
as
is
prescribed
in
the
last
Chap:
you
must
let
Blood
in
both
Arms
,
as
much
as
strength
will
bear
;
bleed
the
Haemorrhoids
if
you
see
Occasion
;
cup
and
scarify
the
Shoulders
,
Back
,
and
Buttocks
:
rub
and
bind
the
extream
Parts
,
and
heat
them
with
the
Oyl
of
Spike
,
or
Flowerdeluce
and
the
like
.
You
must
give
Medicines
which
are
altering
,
and
strengthning
,
and
with
them
mix
such
,
which
have
power
to
dissolve
.
This
Julep
is
good
.
Take
of
Barley
water
well
clarified
,
two
Ounces
:
Fennel
and
Purslane
water
of
each
one
Ounce
:
the
Sirrups
of
Water
Lillies
and
Violets
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Sirrup
of
Poppy
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Diamarganiton
frigidum
,
a
Drachm
:
mix
them
,
and
make
a
Julep
for
three
Doses
,
give
it
Morning
,
Noon
,
or
Night
.
Foment
the
Stomach
with
โhe
Decoction
of
cooling
and
mollisying
Heโโฆ
,
Roots
,
and
Flowers
,
and
afterwards
anoint
it
with
Oyl
of
Roses
,
Violets
,
and
the
like
.
Some
commend
Turpentine
washed
in
Wormwood
water
,
given
in
Pills
three
or
four
times
,
which
will
quickly
dissolve
or
maturate
the
Imposthume
.
If
you
find
that
the
Imposthume
tend
to
Suppuration
apply
this
Cataplasm
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
common
and
March
Mallows
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Camomill
,
two
handfuls
:
red
Rose
leaves
a
handfull
:
boil
them
well
together
,
and
then
beat
them
in
a
stone
Morter
:
then
add
of
the
Meal
of
Barley
,
Flax
seed
,
and
Fenugreek
,
of
each
one
Ounce
:
with
Hen's
Grease
,
and
Oyl
of
Roses
and
Camomill
,
alike
QUantity
,
sufficient
to
make
a
Cataplasm
,
which
must
be
applyed
and
often
removed
.
When
the
Imposthume
is
broken
,
cleanse
the
Ulcer
with
new
Milk
and
Sugar
,
or
Hydromell
:
or
Take
of
Barley
water
3.
Ounces
,
Sugar
of
Roses
,
and
the
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
make
a
Julep
and
give
it
.
The
drinking
of
Mineral
Waters
is
good
.
Before
you
endeavour
to
heal
it
,
you
must
endeavour
to
cleanse
the
Stomach
as
well
as
the
Ulcer
.
Take
of
Cassia
,
one
Ounce
;
Powder
of
Rubarb
,
one
Scruple
:
dissolve
it
in
Whey
,
and
drink
it
:
you
may
with
this
or
the
like
Purgers
(
which
attract
not
the
Humours
to
the
part
)
cleanse
the
Stomach
as
often
as
Necessity
requireth
.
Then
fement
the
Stomach
with
the
Decoction
,
of
Comphry
roots
,
Quinces
,
Wormwood
,
Roses
,
Pomegranate
flowers
and
peels
,
Myrtles
,
Galls
,
Frankincense
,
Mastick
,
and
the
like
;
then
apply
astringent
Unguents
,
and
Emplaisters
to
the
Stomach
;
and
inwardly
give
Medicines
of
the
same
Nature
:
Take
of
the
Conserve
of
Roses
and
Comphrey
roots
,
and
of
Marmalad
of

CHAP.
XLIII
.
Of
the
Chollick
.
The
attractive
and
digestive
Facultyes
,
are
not
only
hurt
,
but
the
expulsive
Faculty
,
which
chiefly
respects
the
Intestines
,
may
also
be
defective
,
and
cause
many
distempers
in
the
Body
,
the
first
of
which
is
the
Chollick
.
This
Disease
took
its
Name
from
the
Part
affected
,
which
is
the
Gut
,
called
by
the
Greek
Colon
,
and
the
Disease
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
which
is
caused
by
excrementitious
Matter
,
retained
too
long
,
and
,
by
distending
,
pricking
,
or
corroding
,
causeth
grievous
pain
.
Sometimes
it
is
caused
through
Crudities
,
bred
by
a
cold
Distemper
of
the
Stomach
and
Intestines
,
which
causeth
Wind
to
afflict
the
Guts
(
being
obstructed
)
especially
the
Gut
Coion
:
sometimes
cold
,
grosse
,
and
phlegmatick
Humours
,
sticking
to
the
Tunicles
or
Coats
of
the
Guts
,
cause
constriction
,
and
divulsion
,
and
a
gnawing
pain
:
also
salt
,
and
sharp
,
cholerick
,
and
melancholy
,
sowr
Humours
,
by
pricking
and
twitching
the
Cuts
,
cause
Pain
.
Here
note
,
that
if
Wind
or
Humours
remain
onely
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Guts
,
they
might
be
easily
excluded
,
by
evacuating
,
cleansing
,
and
curminative
Medicines
;
but
being
(
for
the
most
part
)
fixed
to
the
Coats
of
the
Guts
,
they
are
not
expelled
without
difficulty
.
There
are
other
lesse
usual
Causes
of
the
Chollick
,
viz.
Tumors
in
the
adjoyning
parts
,
causing
compression
of
the
Guts
:
Tumors
and
Inflammations
in
the
Intestines
causing
Narrownesse
:
Knots
of
Worms
,
or
Stones
bred
in
the
Guts
which
stop
them
:
sometimes
a
poysonous
and
malignant
Matter
engendreth
a
pestilent
Chollick
or
Plague
in
the
Guts
.
The
External
causes
are
,
either
a
cold
Aire
,
which
doth
constringe
the
Belly
;
or
an
Air
too
hot
,
indurating
the
Excrements
:
Raw
Fruit
,
Meats
grosse
and
of
hard
Digestion
;
in
a
Word
,
every
thing
which
disturbeth
the
concoction
of
the
Stomach
,
may
here
be
taken
for
an
External
cause
.
Diagnostick
Signes
are
,
a
very
sharp
pain
sometimes
moveable
,
sometimes
in
the
Region
of
the
Stomach
,
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Reins
:
sometimes
above
,
and
sometimes
beneath
the
Nayel
;
oftentimes
in
the
left
side
;
so
that
by
comparison
of
other
Signes
you
must
distinguish
between
this
and
the
Spleen
and
Stone
.
The
Pain
is
like
the
Boaring
of
an
Auger
,
he
vomiteth
chole
rick
and
phlegmatick
Matter
,
if
the
Stomach
consenteth
.
The
pain
is
greater
after
Meat
:
the
Belly
(
for
the
most
part
)
is
bound
,
that
the
Patient
cannot
so
much
as
break
Wind
:
when
he
voideth
Excrements
,
they
are
windy
,
like
Cow
dung
with
Water
on
the
Top.
The
causes
are
also
distinguished
by
their
Signes
:
If
Phlegm
be
the
cause
,
the
pain
is
not
so
violent
,
the
Sick
hath
used
a
phlegmatick
Diet
;
but
if
Wind
be
joyned
with
it
,
the
part
seemeth
as
if
it
were
boared
through
with
a
Wimble
;
the
Urine
is
crude
and
white
,
yet
sometimes
the
violent
Pain
enflameth
the
Spirits
,
and
the
Urine
appeareth
yellow
or
red
:
He
is
better
for
hot
,
and
the
worse
for
cold
things
.
If
cholerick
Humours
cause
the
Chollick
,
there
is
a
violent
,
pulling
,
and
pricking
Pain
;
the
Urine
is
cholerick
;
a
Diet
breeding
Choller
went
before
,
he
is
the
worse
for
hot
Medicines
;
there
is
great
Heat
,
Thirst
.
and
sometimes
a
Feaver
.
If
the
Chollick
proceed
from
Wind
,
there
is
a
stretching
Pain
and
the
Belly
swelleth
,
and
the
Wind
rumbleth
therein
,
he
findeth
ease
when
he
breaketh
it
:
If
the
Wind
be
in
the
Cavity
,
the
Pain
is
moveable
,
and
encreaseth
and
decreaseth
;
If
in
the
Coats
of
the
Guts
,
the
Pain
is
fixed
in
respect
of
place
,
and
constant
.
Prognostick
signes
are
,
It
the
Chollick
be
gentle
,
moveable
,
and
the
Belly
soluble
,
it
is
easily
cured
:
on
the
contrary
,
if
the
Pain
be
great
and
fixed
,
the
Belly
bound
,
the
Patient
wanteth
Sleep
,
vomiteth
,
and
is
troubled
;
with
cold
Sweats
,
Hiccoughs
,
Doting
,
and
Coldnesse
of
the
extream
parts
,
it
is
alwayes
dangerous
,
and
(
for
the
most
part
)
deadly
.
An
Epidemical
and
pestilent
Chollick
is
very
dโโฆous
.
If
it
come
of
sharp
chollerick
Humours
,
โโฆgenerateth
sometimes
into
other
worse
Diseases
;
as
the
Palsy
,
Falling-Sicknesse
,
and
the
Gout
.
You
must
vary
the
Cure
,
according
to
the
diversity
of
Causes
;
if
Phlegm
and
Wind
be
the
cause
,
you
must
administer
an
emollient
,
discussing
,
and
carminative
Clister
,
(
See
Chap.
41
Of
Pain
in
the
Stomath
)
three
or
four
times
in
a
day
.
Or
make
a
Decoction
of
emollient
and
carminative
Herbs
,
and
boil
therein
three
Drachms
of
Colloquintida
.
If
two
or
three
Clisters
provoke
not
to
Stool
,
make
use
of
this
Suppository
:
Take
of
Hony
sodden
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Hiera
piera
,
one
Drachm
:
Diacolo-Cynthidos
,
one
Scruple
:
Salt
Gemm
,
half
a
Scruple
,
mix
them
and
make
a
Suppository
.
It
is
not
amisse
,
if
after
all
this
you
purge
the
noxious
Humours
,
mixing
with
your
purge
Narcoticks
:
See
Forrestus
his
Medicine
prescribed
in
the
aforenamed
Chap.
Or
give
an
Ounce
and
an
half
of
Manna
;
of
Oyl
of
Sweet
Almonds
newly
drawn
,
two
Ounces
;
give
it
in
Broth.
Then
you
must
foment
,
bathe
,
or
anoint
the
Belly
,
(
See
the
aforesaid
41
Chap.
)
The
Bowels
of
a
Wolf
pulverized
,
and
the
white
Dung
of
the
same
,
is
much
commended
,
if
the
Patient
take
a
Drachm
in
white
Wine
.
The
Electuary
of
Bay
berries
taken
,
as
much
as
a
Nutmeg
often
,
easeth
Pain
.
This
Medicine
I
have
used
with
good
Successe
:
Take
of
Pellitory
of
the
Wall
,
Mints
,
Parslypearch
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
the
Roots
of
Fennel
,
Parsley
,
Marshmallows
,
and
Butchers
Broom
,
of
each
half
a
handfull
:
Juniper
Berries
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Seeds
of
Aunis
,
sweet
Fennel
,
and
Cummis
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Bay
berries
,
three
Drachms
:
bruize
,
slice
,
and
powder
them
;
Infuse
them
in
white
wine
twenty
four
houres
,
and
distill
it
in
Balneo
:
after
sufficient
Evacuations
,
give
one
Ounce
.
Galen
much
commendeth
the
Application
of
a
Cupping-glasse
to
the
Navil
;
afterwards
apply
a
Plaister
of
Tacamahacha
.
Also
the
Decoction
of
Guajacum
given
for
many
dayes
,
is
good
,
and
afterwards
purge
Phlegm
,
if
there
be
occasion
.
The
cholerick
Chollick
is
cured
also
by
giving
of
emollient
Clisters
,
and
such
as
temper
the
Acrimony
of
the
Humours
:
as
the
Decoction
of
Camomil
,
Violet
leaves
,
Endive
:
the
Seeds
of
Faenugreek
,
Linseed
,
Hens-grease
,
Goose-grease
,
Oyl
of
Roses
,
Cessia
,
and
the
like
.
Foment
the
Belly
with
an
emollient
and
cooling
Decoction
,
and
aroint
it
with
a
Cataplasm
,
made
with
the
Meal
of
Linseed
,
Faenugreek
,
and
Barley
,
boiled
in
Oyl
of
Camomil
,
and
Roses
.
Cool
the
Liver
outwardly
by
Epithems
,
and
inwardly
by
Juleps
,
made
of
Poppy
,
Lettice
,
Succory
,
Endive
,
Sorrel
,
Violets
,
and
the
like
:
forget
not
to
add
a
little
spirit
of
Vitriol
to
your
Juleps
.
If
the
pain
be
violent
use
Narcoticks
:
afterwards
purge
the
Humour
with
such
Medicines
which
purge
gently
or
strongly
,
according
to
the
strength
of
your
Patient
,
and
the
Degree
of
his
Distemper
.
CHAP.
LXIIII.
Of
the
Iliack
Passion
.
This
Disease
is
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
in
Latine
Iliaca
Passio
,
in
Englsh
the
Iliack
Passion
,
from
the
Gut
Ilion
,
which
is
chiefly
affected
in
this
Disease
.
But
because
the
other
Guts
are
capable
of
the
same
,
it
is
rather
derived
from
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
which
signifieth
to
be
rowled
or
girt
about
,
and
therefore
the
Latines
call
it
Volvulus
or
Convolvulus
.
It
is
a
praeposterous
motion
of
the
Intestines
,
the
Guts
are
obstructed
,
nothing
passeth
downward
,
sometimes
the
Excrements
are
brought
up
into
the
Stomach
,
and
issue
out
at
the
Mouth
.
The
Intestines
have
a
natural
Motion
downwards
,
which
is
compared
to
the
Motion
of
Earth-Worms
,
which
move
the
parts
of
their
Bodyes
succesfully
;
by
which
they
carry
the
Faeces
and
Excrements
downwards
.
The
expulsive
Faculty
of
the
Guts
is
sometimes
too
vehemently
stirred
up
,
the
Passage
being
obstructed
,
that
by
a
violent
motion
,
the
Excrementitious
Matter
is
cast
upwards
:
so
that
not
onely
the
Chylus
and
Excrements
,
but
also
Clisters
and
Suppositoryes
are
violently
snatched
up
and
vomited
.
Any
thing
which
causeth
the
obstruction
of
the
Guts
,
as
hard
Dung
long
retained
,
grosse
Vapours
,
Inflammations
,
Tumours
,
or
the
like
,
may
be
the
Cause
of
this
Disease
.
Sometimes
an
Ulcer
in
the
Guts
may
be
the
Cause
,
when
the
Excrements
touch
the
part
ulcerated
,
it
pricketh
it
,
so
that
the
Faculty
is
provoked
,
not
to
let
so
noxious
a
thing
passe
,
but
driveth
it
upwards
,
the
other
Guts
by
Sympathy
assisting
,
forceth
it
into
the
Stomach
,
which
also
by
a
Peristatick
inverted
Motion
,
casteth
it
out
by
Vomit
.
The
Diagnosticks
of
this
Disease
,
are
,
partly
common
to
those
of
the
Chollick
,
and
partly
proper
or
peculiar
to
it self
.
Common
Signes
are
,
the
Belly
bound
,
and
puffed
up
,
Pain
in
the
Abdomen
,
loathing
,
vomiting
,
difficulty
of
Breathing
and
Pissing
,
want
of
Rest
.
The
peculiar
Signes
are
,
a
violent
Pain
,
great
Distension
,
a
hard
Tumor
in
the
Hypogastrium
,
nothing
voided
downwards
,
an
irregular
vomiting
of
Choller
,
Phlegm
and
Chylus
,
at
last
the
Excrements
are
vomited
up
.
The
Signes
of
the
causes
are
thus
gathered
,
If
Inflammation
of
the
parts
cause
the
Disease
,
it
quickly
cometh
to
the
height
,
an
intense
Feaver
,
with
vomiting
,
as
aforesaid
.
If
hard
Dung
in
the
Bowels
be
the
Cause
,
there
went
before
Constriction
of
the
Belly
,
it
is
of
longer
Continuance
,
the
Pain
not
so
violent
at
first
,
nor
the
Feaver
so
great
,
if
any
.
If
Wind
or
Phlegm
be
the
Cause
,
(
for
the
most
part
)
the
Chollick
preceded
,
and
the
Signes
thereof
are
laid
down
in
the
preceding
Chapter
.
This
Disease
is
dangerous
more
or
lesse
,
according
to
the
Causes
and
Symptoms
;
that
which
is
accompanied
with
the
Strangury
,
or
that
irregular
vomiting
before
mentioned
,
(
for
the
most
part
)
is
deadly
.
If
there
be
a
remission
of
Symptoms
,
and
things
,
taken
at
the
mouth
,
find
passage
downwards
,
there
is
hopes
of
recovery
.
What
belongs
to
the
cure
of
this
Disease
,
must
thus
be
considered
,
viz.
If
hard
Dung
obstruct
the
passage
,
you
must
often
inject
emollient
and
laxative
Clisters
,
in
the
mean
time
,
give
Medicines
inwardly
of
the
same
Nature
,
mixing
with
them
such
as
strengthen
the
Stomach
and
Vital
parts
:
having
read
thus
fair
you
cannot
be
ignorant
how
to
prepare
them
:
by
this
means
I
cured
one
in
this
Condition
,
who
went
not
to
Stool
in
sixteen
or
eighteen
dayes
.
You
may
likewise
apply
Fomentations
,
Liniments
,
and
Cataplasms
of
an
emollient
Nature
to
the
Belly
.
If
you
find
the
Body
flatuous
and
in
much
pain
,
administer
the
Medicines
prescribed
against
the
Chollick
.
If
the
Guts
be
inflamed
,
you
must
open
a
Vein
,
and
draw
as
much
Blood
,
as
the
strength
of
the
Sick
will
bear
.
Administer
cooling
and
emollient
Clisters
,
and
other
Medicines
,
prescribed
,
in
the
42
Chapter
,
for
the
inflammation
of
the
Stomach
.
If
he
vomit
not
,
give
him
warm
Water
and
Oyl
of
Violets
,
for
it
is
a
good
Revulsion
.
Let
his
drink
be
Barly
Water
,
and
sometimes
give
,
in
a
draught
thereof
,
two
ounces
of
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
and
,
if
the
Pain
be
violent
,
use
Narcoticks
.
Let
him
abstain
from
Food
,
for
it
turns
to
no
good
Nourishment
:
let
him
now
and
then
take
a
spoonful
of
Broth
,
and
drink
such
things
as
are
before
mentioned
.
If
the
Bowels
fall
into
the
Cods
,
and
cause
this
Disease
,
you
must
foment
the
part
with
emollient
Oyls
,
and
relaxing
Decoctions
,
giving
emollient
and
carminative
Clisters
,
then
let
the
Patient
ly
with
his
Heels
higher
then
his
head
,
and
gently
thrust
them
back
,
and
keep
them
up
with
a
Trusse
.
If
there
be
a
Circumvolution
of
Hoisting
of
the
Guts
,
Hippocrates
prescribeth
this
as
the
last
Remedy
,
namely
,
to
apply
a
payr
of
Bellows
to
the
Fundament
,
and
blow
into
the
Belly
,
and
afterwards
to
give
an
emollient
Clister
;
this
hath
been
proved
by
many
able
Physitians
,
and
highly
commended
.
Others
have
commended
the
taking
of
Quicksilver
in
a
great
Quantity
,
which
hath
cured
when
all
other
means
have
failed
.

Of
the
Flux
,
Lientery
,
and
Coelick
Passion
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
Lientery
is
a
Flux
of
the
Belly
,
in
which
the
Meat
is
quickly
sent
through
the
Body
undigested
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
or
the
Coeliack
Passion
is
,
when
the
Meat
comes
forth
crude
and
impertectly
digested
:
these
two
differ
onely
in
degrees
,
and
their
Cures
are
the
same
.
This
Disease
is
not
to
be
referred
to
concoction-hurt
onely
,
but
to
the
Debility
of
the
retentive
Faculty
,
for
the
Meat
is
not
long
enough
receined
to
be
concocted
;
hence
it
appeareth
,
that
the
Disease
cometh
from
a
fault
of
the
Stomach
as
well
as
the
Guts
.
The
Causes
of
this
Disease
are
referred
to
three
Heads
;
First
,
a
cold
Distemper
of
the
Stomach
and
Liver
,
which
generateth
flegmatick
and
glutinous
Humours
,
which
cover
the
wrinkles
of
the
Stomach
,
that
it
cannot
retain
the
Food
.
Though
Retention
be
made
by
the
astringing
Quality
,
yet
it
operates
by
fit
Instruments
,
viz.
the
Roughnesse
of
the
inward
Coat
of
the
Stomach
,
which
Roughnesse
being
taken
away
,
and
the
wrinklesfilled
up
by
the
Humours
aforesaid
,
the
Retention
is
hurt
,
and
the
Meat
slippeth
away
without
Concoction
.
Secondly
,
sharp
Humours
prick
and
twitch
the
parts
,
by
which
the
Stomach
and
Guts
are
provoked
to
send
forth
the
Meat
too
soon
.
Lastly
,
in
malignant
Feavers
,
and
other
dangerous
Diseases
,
the
retentive
Faculty
is
weakned
,
and
Nature
being
conquered
degenerateth
into
a
Lientery
.
There
is
another
Cause
,
peculiar
to
the
Coeliack
Passion
,
Namely
,
the
Obstruction
of
the
Meseraick
Veins
,
which
hinder
the
passage
of
the
Chilus
to
the
Liver
,
and
therefore
must
of
necessity
be
cast
forth
by
the
Belly
.
I
need
not
lay
down
the
Signes
of
this
Disease
,
being
obvious
to
the
Eye
.
The
Causes
may
be
thus
discovered
.
If
it
come
from
a
cold
Distemper
,
there
are
sowr
Belchings
,
the
Excrements
are
phlegmatick
:
If
the
Humours
flow
from
the
Head
,
the
Excrements
are
frothy
,
and
the
Flux
greater
after
Sleep
,
the
Signes
of
a
Catarrh
appear
.
If
it
come
from
Provocation
,
there
is
a
Heat
in
the
Hypocondria
,
sharp
and
cholerick
Excrements
,
great
Thust
,
and
a
Gnawing
in
the
Stomach
.
These
Diseases
if
they
last
long
are
very
dangerous
,
because
Nature
is
deprived
of
her
Nourishment
,
and
the
Body
soon
falleth
into
a
Dropsy
or
Atrophy
.
If
it
follow
other
Diseases
,
it
is
for
the
most
part
deadly
.
If
the
Disease
hath
its
originall
from
phlegmatick
Humours
,
covering
the
wrinkles
of
the
Stomach
,
you
must
use
those
remedyes
,
propounded
for
the
cure
of
Want
of
Appetite
comming
from
a
cold
Cause
,
with
which
,
make
use
of
those
things
which
are
astringent
to
stay
the
Flux
.
Clisters
are
of
no
great
force
,
except
the
Flux
be
violent
,
in
such
Cases
they
must
be
astringent
,
such
as
shall
be
prescribed
in
the
47
Chapter
,
of
the
Flux
Dysentery
.
You
must
purge
the
peccant
Humours
,
and
then
strengthen
the
Stomach
,
with
the
Medicines
prescribed
in
the
Cure
of
Want
of
Appetite
;
for
which
purpose
Amatus
Lusitanus
highly
commendeth
this
following
Opiate
:
Take
of
Conserve
of
Roses
,
six
Ounces
:
of
the
best
Treacle
six
Drachms
:
Sirrup
of
Quinces
,
sufficient
to
make
an
Opiate
:
give
half
an
Ounce
in
the
Morning
,
and
fast
one
hour
.
If
this
Flux
come
from
Provocation
by
cholerick
Humours
,
do
as
you
are
taught
in
the
Chapter
of
cholerick
Vomiting
,
or
you
may
use
those
things
prescribed
in
the
following
Chapter
of
the
Flux
Diarrhaea
.
For
that
which
comes
from
the
Imbecillity
of
the
retentive
Faculty
,
now
and
then
give
Clisters
made
of
Posset
drink
,
in
which
red
Roses
have
been
boiled
,
and
dissolve
Sugar
therein
,
and
the
yelks
of
Eggs.
Give
inwardly
strengthning
and
astringent
things
,
which
are
prescribed
in
the
following
Chapter
,
and
against
cholerick
vomiting
.
Anoint
the
Stomach
and
Belly
with
this
following
Oyntment
:
Take
of
the
Oyls
of
Mastick
,
Wormwood
,
Mints
,
and
Myrtles
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
the
Powders
of
Cinnamon
,
Cloves
,
and
Galingale
,
of
each
,
one
Scruple
:
the
flowers
of
Pomgranates
,
and
red
Roses
,
of
each
,
half
a
Scruple
;
Wax
,
sufficient
to
make
an
Oyntment
.
If
this
Disease
depend
upon
the
Obstruction
of
the
Meseraick
Veins
,
use
the
Remedies
prescribed
for
opening
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
.
CHAP.
XLVI
.
Of
the
Flux
Diarrhaea
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
Diarrhoea
is
a
Flux
of
the
Belly
,
or
a
great
and
copious
sending
forth
excrementitious
Humours
;
not
of
Food
or
Chylus
,
as
in
the
Lientery
or
Caeliack
Passion
:
nor
of
Blood
,
with
Inflammation
or
Ulceration
of
the
Intestines
,
as
in
the
Dysentery
,
which
remaineth
next
to
be
spoken
of
.
The
Humours
voided
are
,
either
Cholerick
,
Phlegmatick
,
Melancholy
,
or
Serous
.
The
Place
from
whence
it
comesis
,
either
from
the
whole
Body
,
or
from
the
Brain
,
Stomach
,
Intestines
,
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Mesentery
,
Womb
,
and
the
like
.
The
Cause
is
,
either
Critical
or
Symptomatical
;
Internal
or
External
.
The
Disease
it self
is
easily
known
,
from
what
hath
already
been
said
;
the
difference
of
the
Matter
and
Humours
sent
forth
are
manifest
to
the
Senses
.
It
is
somwhat
difficult
to
know
from
what
part
of
the
Body
the
Humours
are
sent
:
If
it
come
from
the
whole
Body
,
there
hath
been
some
Disease
,
which
hath
afflicted
the
whole
Body
,
as
Cachexia
,
Leucophlegmatia
,
a
continuall
Feaver
,
or
excessive
Eating
or
Drinking
.
If
it
comes
from
the
Head
,
the
Excrements
are
froathy
,
and
are
voided
more
violent
by
Night
then
by
Day
,
and
there
is
some
manifest
Disease
in
the
Head
,
as
a
Catarrh
,
Deafnesse
,
Lethargy
,
&c.
If
the
fault
be
in
the
Stomach
,
the
Patient
filled
himself
with
Food
apt
to
corrupt
,
or
there
be
Signes
of
Concoction
hurt
;
viz.
If
the
Humours
be
sharp
,
cholerick
,
and
stinking
,
the
Concoction
is
hurt
by
a
hot
Distemper
of
the
Stomach
;
and
the
expulsive
Faculty
laboureth
to
throw
it
out
:
If
they
be
crude
and
phlegmatick
,
Concoction
is
hurt
by
a
cold
Distemper
.
If
Worms
in
the
Guts
be
the
cause
,
their
Signes
seek
ใโฆใ
Chapter
of
the
Worms
.
If
the
Humours
come
from
the
Liver
,
they
are
cholerick
,
and
there
appeareth
some
Distemper
of
the
Liver
.
If
from
the
Spleen
,
the
Excrements
are
blackish
,
and
distempers
of
the
Spleen
and
Hypocondria
appear
.
If
from
the
Mesentery
,
there
is
extention
;
but
Humours
there
,
have
their
original
from
the
Liver
or
Spleen
.
If
from
the
Womb
,
there
are
the
Symptoms
of
the
Womb
affected
.
To
the
Prognostick
:
I
say
,
the
Flux
of
the
Belly
,
which
is
Critical
,
that
is
easily
endured
,
and
is
a
benefit
to
the
Patient
,
by
which
,
Humours
,
which
are
burthensome
to
Nature
,
are
discharged
,
is
good
.
On
the
contrary
,
if
it
be
symptomatical
,
painful
,
&
weakning
to
Nature
,
it
is
evil
.
If
the
Excrements
are
thin
,
voided
often
,
with
Pain
,
without
Feeling
when
they
are
voided
,
or
in
an
acute
Disease
,
all
these
are
evil
Signes
.
If
the
Excrements
voided
be
yellow
as
yelks
of
Eggs
,
green
,
black
blew
,
or
of
divers
colours
,
it
is
evil
.
If
this
Flux
afflict
a
Woman
with
Child
,
she
is
in
great
danger
of
Miscariage
.
If
the
Excrements
begin
to
grow
thicker
,
there
is
hopes
of
Recovery
.
If
a
Flux
happeneth
in
the
Dropsy
,
wherein
the
whole
Body
is
affected
,
it
causeth
a
Recovery
:
understand
this
where
the
Patient
is
young
,
strong
,
and
the
Disease
but
begun
;
for
if
Nature
be
weakned
by
the
long
continuance
of
the
Disease
,
and
the
Flux
happen
,
the
Disease
and
Life
(
hand
in
hand
)
go
together
.
For
the
Cure
,
If
the
Body
abound
with
Blood
,
open
a
Vein
;
if
not
,
if
the
Patient
hath
a
Feaver
,
it
is
good
to
let
Blood
.
Then
purge
the
Humour
offending
,
with
such
Purgers
,
that
leave
an
Astringent
behind
them
:
If
the
Body
be
strong
,
vointing
is
good
,
for
it
revelleth
and
evacuateth
the
Matter
of
the
Disease
.
Before
and
after
purging
,
give
cleansing
Clisters
;
after
the
Body
is
sufficiently
emptied
,
give
astringent
;
all
which
the
next
Chapter
will
furnish
you
with
.
Inwardly
you
may
give
astringent
und
strengthning
Medicines
,
prescribed
in
the
next
Chapter
;
If
your
Patient
be
free
from
a
Feaver
,
boil
new
milk
and
scum
off
the
Foam
,
and
quench
red
hot
Steel
often
in
it
,
and
let
him
drink
thereof
warm
,
which
is
a
present
Remedy
.
Unripe
Mulberryes
,
and
Blackberryes
dryed
and
heaten
to
powder
,
is
good
to
stay
this
Flux
.
This
Opiate
is
excellent
:
Take
of
the
juyce
of
Quinces
,
Conserve
of
Roses
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
and
fine
Bole
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
Bloodstone
,
and
the
Troches
of
Amber
,
of
each
,
half
a
Drachm
;
with
Sirrup
of
Comphrey
,
make
an
Opiate
,
and
let
the
Patient
take
a
little
often
.
Take
of
the
Powder
of
Rubarb
,
one
Ounce
;
the
Troches
of
Sanders
,
two
Drachms
,
mix
it
,
and
give
the
Patient
two
Drachms
twice
a
day
;
it
evacuateth
the
Matter
and
strengthneth
the
Bowels
.
Both
the
Sirrup
,
Magistery
,
and
Tincture
of
Coral
availeth
much
;
and
the
Decoction
of
Juniper
Berryes
in
red
Wine
is
no
lesse
effectual
.
If
it
continue
long
,
and
your
Patient's
strength
much
decay
,
give
Laudanum
among
your
other
Medicines
.
The
Fume
of
Fleabane
and
Mullein
taken
through
a
hollow
Chair
is
excellent
.
The
Conserve
of
Hips
is
good
against
a
cholerick
Flux
,
you
may
mix
with
it
such
things
,
which
are
astringent
:
I
shall
say
no
more
of
the
Cure
of
this
Disease
,
but
refer
you
to
the
next
Chapter
.

CHAP.
XLVII
.
Of
the
Dysentery
,
or
Bloody
Flux
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
is
a
bloody
Loosenesse
of
the
Belly
,
depending
upon
the
Ulceration
of
the
Intestines
:
but
it
is
commonly
taken
for
every
Bloody
Flux
:
the
Latines
call
it
Tormina
,
because
of
the
Torture
the
Patient
endureth
.
Galen
mentioneth
four
kinds
of
Fluxes
,
which
he
calleth
Dysenteries
.
The
first
is
,
when
any
usual
Evacuation
of
Blood
,
as
the
Haemorrhoids
,
or
at
the
Nose
,
is
omitted
or
impedited
,
or
any
part
of
the
body
is
hurt
,
and
by
that
means
the
Blood
is
sent
to
the
Intestines
,
and
voided
by
the
Belly
.
The
second
is
,
when
watry
Blood
is
voided
,
by
reason
of
the
weakness
of
the
of
the
Liver
;
of
this
I
shall
treat
hereafter
.
The
third
is
,
when
Blood
mixed
with
Melancholy
,
and
burnt
by
reason
of
long
Retention
in
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
is
evacuated
and
shineth
.
The
last
,
and
that
which
I
am
now
to
discourse
on
,
is
,
when
Blood
and
Excrements
are
mixed
together
,
and
sometimes
also
Matter
is
mixed
therewith
,
and
is
evacuated
with
Torture
to
the
Patient
,
by
reason
of
Ulceration
in
the
Guts
;
this
is
the
proper
Dysentery
.
The
internal
Causes
,
are
sharp
and
ulcerating
Humours
,
yellow
,
green
,
and
black
Choller
:
Salt
Phlegm
in
the
Head
,
bred
by
Heat
,
or
in
the
Belly
by
putrefaction
,
which
being
brought
to
the
Guts
and
sticking
to
them
ulcerateth
the
part
.
The
Causes
external
,
are
all
things
which
make
sharp
and
evil
Humours
,
Meats
which
soon
putrify
,
Fruits
which
are
soon
rotten
,
all
things
unripe
;
the
Air
thus
qualifyed
:
the
Winter
cold
and
dry
,
and
the
Spring
very
wet
and
ful
of
South
Winds
,
cause
Dysenteryes
in
the
Summer
:
Or
if
the
Winter
be
wet
and
full
of
South
Winds
,
and
a
dry
Spring
and
the
North
Winds
blow
much
;
such
a
Season
produceth
Dysenteryes
.
Sometimes
the
Air
is
infected
,
and
produceth
a
contagious
and
epidemical
Dysentery
,
which
is
so
infectious
,
that
the
Excrements
of
the
Sick
,
being
cast
into
a
Privy
,
infecteth
all
that
sit
over
it
.
The
Diagnostick
Signes
are
,
often
and
bloody
Evacuations
,
with
Pain
in
the
Belly
,
Watching
,
Thirsting
,
Loathing
of
Meat
,
sometimes
a
Feaver
.
If
the
small
Guts
are
affected
,
the
Pain
is
vehement
like
the
pricking
of
Pins
,
because
they
are
of
more
exquisite
Sense
,
they
go
not
to
Stool
presently
after
the
Pain
,
and
the
Blood
is
mixed
with
the
Excrements
.
The
contrary
judge
,
if
it
be
in
the
great
Guts
,
the
Pain
not
so
sharp
,
they
go
to
Stool
presently
after
,
and
the
Blood
swimmeth
on
the
top
of
,
or
a
little
mixed
with
,
the
Excrements
.
You
may
judge
of
the
Humour
causing
this
Disease
,
by
the
Colour
of
the
Excrements
,
Age
and
Temperament
of
the
Patient
,
and
Season
of
the
year
.
Thus
the
Prognosticks
are
made
.
Dysenteryes
caused
by
black
Choller
are
deadly
,
if
it
be
not
Critical
,
because
the
Ulcer
groweth
cancerous
:
be
sure
you
judg
aright
between
Melancholy
and
Blood
congealed
.
If
Loathing
of
Meat
and
a
Feaver
accompany
it
,
it
is
dangerous
.
If
pieces
of
Flesh
be
voided
,
it
is
deadly
.
Much
Watching
,
great
Thirst
,
black
,
bloody
,
and
stinking
Stools
without
a
Mixture
of
Humours
,
Hiccough
,
cholerick
Vomitings
,
Pain
in
the
Liver
and
Midriff
,
are
(
for
the
most
part
)
deadly
Signes
.
If
Choler
or
sharp
Diet
be
the
cause
of
this
Disease
,
it
is
easily
cured
;
salt-Phlegm
is
worse
,
because
it
sticks
longer
to
the
Guts
.
If
this
Disease
happen
to
one
troubled
with
a
disease
in
the
Spleen
,
or
the
Gout
,
it
is
good
(
saith
Hippocrates
)
because
the
Matter
is
sent
forth
:
but
this
is
rather
a
Diarrhae
a
then
a
Dysentery
.
To
cure
,
you
must
evacuate
sharp
Humours
,
you
must
asswage
Pain
,
cleanse
,
consolidate
,
and
dry
the
Ulcer
,
and
stop
the
Flux
.
To
evacuate
the
Humours
,
you
must
purge
every
second
,
third
,
or
fourth
day
,
according
to
your
Patients
Age
,
Strength
,
Season
of
the
year
,
and
the
like
.
Rubarb
is
exceeding
good
in
this
Disease
,
given
a
Drachm
,
or
a
Drachm
and
an
half
,
or
two
Drachms
;
Or
made
into
a
Potion
thus
:
Take
of
Liquorish
scraped
and
sliced
,
and
Raisons
of
the
Sun
,
of
each
,
three
Drachms
:
Tamarinds
and
yellow
Myrabolans
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
boil
them
in
Barly
and
Plantane
water
to
three
Ounces
:
in
which
streined
,
infuse
a
Drachm
of
Rubarb
thin
sliced
:
then
add
one
Ounce
of
the
Sirrup
of
Roses
solutive
,
and
make
a
Potion
:
if
you
think
it
not
strong
enough
,
add
of
Diacatholicon
,
three
Drachms
;
or
you
may
give
the
Rubarb
in
Powder
,
in
the
aforesaid
Decoction
.
If
the
Dysentery
be
accompanied
with
a
Feaver
,
and
Inflammation
of
the
Bowels
,
open
a
Vein
,
and
let
the
Patient
bleed
according
to
his
Strength
.
Sometimes
vomiting
is
profitable
to
revell
the
Humours
,
which
fall
from
the
Stomach
to
the
Intestines
;
Omit
not
vomiting
if
you
find
the
Stomach
very
foul
:
Especially
if
the
Sick
be
inclinable
to
vomit
,
for
then
Nature
dictates
the
right
way
,
and
ought
to
be
imitated
.
In
the
mean
while
,
you
must
give
asswaging
,
mild
,
and
cleansing
Clisters
,
afterwards
glutinous
and
astringent
,
Thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Marshmallows
,
Butter-burr
,
of
each
,
one
handful
:
Camomil
Flowers
,
one
Pugil
:
the
Seeds
of
Flax
,
and
Fleabane
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
;
boil
them
in
Barly
water
,
or
Milk
Chalybeated
,
or
Mutton
,
Capon
,
or
Sheeps
Head
Broth
,
to
a
Pint
;
strain
it
,
and
dissolve
therein
the
yolks
of
four
Eggs
well
beaten
,
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
Sirrup
of
Quinces
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
;
and
make
a
Clister
.
If
the
Ulcer
want
cleansing
,
add
Century
and
Wormwood
to
the
former
Decoction
:
and
to
the
strained
Liquor
add
Turpentine
dissolved
in
the
yolk
of
an
Egg
,
&
the
chymical
Oyl
of
Wax
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
.
When
there
is
need
of
more
binding
and
glutinating
,
make
a
Clister
thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Comphry
,
Tormentill
,
and
Bistort
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Plantane
,
Shepherds
purse
,
Knot-grasse
,
and
Mous-ear
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
Pomegranate
Flowers
,
Mirtles
,
Acorn
cups
,
and
Cypresse
Nuts
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
parched
Rice
,
French
Barly
,
and
red
Roses
,
of
each
,
one
Pugill
:
Make
a
Decoction
in
Smiths
water
,
to
a
Pint
of
the
straining
;
add
of
the
Juyce
of
Plantane
and
Yarrow
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
,
and
the
yolks
of
two
roasted
Eggs.
Or
,
insteed
of
the
Juyces
,
you
may
add
the
Musilage
of
Gum
Traganth
,
made
with
Rose
or
Plantane
Water
,
and
the
Suet
of
a
Goat
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
,
which
Emplastick
Clisters
,
as
with
a
Plaister
,
cover
the
internal
Superficies
of
the
Guts
,
and
preserveth
the
part
from
the
gnawing
of
the
Matter
.
All
this
while
you
must
give
internal
Medicines
of
the
same
Nature
,
and
the
oftner
,
if
the
upper
Guts
are
ulcerated
.
First
,
to
cleanse
,
give
Gears
Milk
;
to
glutinate
,
Cows
Milk
Chalybiated
;
with
it
,
you
may
mix
the
juyce
of
Plantane
,
Sirrup
of
Comphry
,
Sugar
of
Roses
,
the
Troches
of
Amber
,
and
the
white
Troches
of
Rhasis
.
Let
the
Sick
eat
Rice
boiled
in
Chalybiated
Milk
:
or
the
Musilage
of
Gum
Traganth
and
Arabick
,
drawn
as
before
,
in
his
Broth
half
a
Drachm
.
The
Body
being
well
cleansed
,
you
may
make
an
astringent
Decoction
to
compleat
the
Cure
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Bistort
,
Tormentill
,
and
Comphry
,
the
Leaves
of
Plantane
,
Yarrow
,
Shepherds
purse
,
Horse-tayl
,
Mousear
,
and
Agrimony
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
the
Seeds
of
Sorrel
,
Sumach
,
and
Grape-stones
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
.
make
a
Decoction
in
four
quarts
of
Water
,
to
the
Consumption
of
half
;
Sweeten
the
strained
Liquor
with
the
Sirrup
of
Comphry
,
Quinces
,
dryed
Roses
,
Myrtles
,
or
Corall
.
Front
what
hath
been
said
,
there
is
light
enough
for
the
Ingenious
to
make
Medicines
in
any
form
,
to
please
the
Pallate
of
his
Patient
,
which
I
omit
,
being
loath
to
be
tedious
;
but
lest
I
should
omit
any
thing
necessary
,
make
an
Opiate
thus
:
Take
of
Conserve
of
Roses
,
and
Quinces
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Conserve
of
Comphry
Roots
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Coral
prepared
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Bolearmenick
,
sealed
Earth
,
Acatia
,
Conserve
of
Sloes
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
burnt
Ivory
and
Spodium
,
of
each
,
one
Scruple
,
with
any
of
the
Sirrups
aforesaid
,
sufficient
to
make
an
Opiate
,
and
give
the
Quantity
of
a
Chesnut
,
Morning
,
Night
,
and
Noon
.
Narcoticks
do
Wonders
,
especially
,
if
they
be
mixed
with
astringents
,
and
strengthners
:
Take
of
Conserve
of
Roses
and
Services
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
Confectio
Alchermes
half
a
Scruple
:
Laudanum
three
Grains
,
make
a
Bolus
.
Anoint
the
Belly
with
the
Oyls
of
Quinces
,
Myrtles
,
Roses
,
Mastich
,
Wormwood
,
and
the
like
.
The
Oyntment
called
Comitissae
is
of
wonderful
Virtue
.
I
might
here
teach
you
to
make
Fomentations
and
Cataplasms
,
for
the
purpose
aforesaid
,
of
the
aforenamed
Simples
,
but
seeing
the
Ingenious
need
it
not
,
and
the
Ignorant
deserve
it
not
,
I
shall
save
that
labour
,
fearing
my
Booke
will
swell
to
a
greater
Volume
then
I
intended
.
What
ever
you
do
,
remember
to
strengthen
the
Liver
,
with
Cataplasms
for
that
purpose
,
made
of
Simples
strengthning
the
Liver
.
If
the
Dysentery
be
Epidemical
,
and
Malignant
;
Sudorifick
Medicines
are
of
great
force
.
As
Medicines
made
of
Bezoar
,
and
Treacle
water
:
you
must
begin
with
Cordials
,
and
proceed
as
you
do
in
a
Malignant
Feaver
.
CHAP.
XLVIII
.
Of
Tenasmus
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
in
Greek
,
and
Tenasmus
in
Latine
,
is
a
continual
desire
to
go
to
Stool
,
yet
the
Patient
voideth
nothing
but
Slime
,
and
bloody
Matter
;
it
is
caused
by
an
Ulcer
in
the
Intestinum
rectum
or
streight
Gut
,
from
which
filthy
Matter
continually
flowing
,
provoketh
the
expulsive
Faculty
,
hence
followeth
a
continual
desire
to
go
to
Stool
.
This
Disease
properly
belongeth
to
a
Dysentery
,
yet
by
custom
,
when
onely
the
streight
Gut
is
ulcerated
,
it
is
called
Tenasmus
,
therefore
I
shall
not
insert
the
Causes
,
being
the
same
with
the
former
.
For
the
Knowledg
of
this
Disease
,
it
is
easy
to
distinguish
between
this
and
a
Dysentery
.
In
a
Tenasmus
,
the
desire
of
going
to
Stool
is
continual
;
in
the
Dysentery
,
by
Fits
onely
.
In
the
first
(
notwithstanding
all
straining
)
nothing
is
voided
,
but
Slime
,
bloody
or
mattery
;
in
the
other
,
both
Exerements
and
Humours
are
voided
.
(
The
Signes
of
the
Causes
seek
in
the
former
Chapter
.
)
Tenasmus
(
for
the
most
part
)
is
easily
cured
,
but
is
dangerous
,
if
a
melancholy
Humour
be
the
Cause
,
lest
it
turn
to
an
ulcerated
Cancer
;
yet
(
for
the
most
part
)
it
is
of
long
Continuance
,
and
very
troublesome
.
If
a
Woman
with
Child
hath
the
Tenasmus
,
it
brings
many
Inconveniences
to
her
,
and
great
danger
of
Miscarriage
:
Hippocrates
saith
,
she
will
miscarry
;
but
I
have
known
the
contrary
.
True
it
is
,
a
Woman
seldom
escapeth
in
that
condition
,
for
that
Motion
doth
much
disturb
the
Womb
;
because
the
same
Muscles
which
serve
to
cast
forth
the
Excrements
,
are
employed
for
Delivery
.
If
the
Ulcer
be
near
the
Fundament
or
Anus
,
if
it
continue
long
,
it
turns
to
an
incurable
Fistula
.
For
the
Cure
I
shall
refer
you
to
the
former
Chapter
,
it
being
the
same
,
both
in
the
Causes
,
and
the
part
affected
,
of
the
same
Nature
with
the
other
Intestines
.
CHAP.
XLIX
.
Of
the
Flux
of
the
Liver
.
FLuxus
Hepaticus
,
a
Flux
of
the
Liver
is
,
when
serous
and
bloody
Humours
are
voided
,
much
like
Water
wherein
Flesh
hath
been
washed
.
It
is
caused
by
an
evil
Disposition
,
consuming
the
radical
Moisture
of
the
Liver
,
and
destroyeth
the
natural
Heat
thereof
;
this
Disposition
cometh
by
burning
and
swooning
Feavers
,
&
by
a
hot
Distemper
of
the
Bowels
:
or
by
great
Coldness
,
from
abundance
of
Phlegm
and
Melancholy
,
which
oppresseth
the
natural
Heat
.
Outward
Causes
,
as
great
draughts
of
cold
Water
,
extraordinary
eating
of
raw
Sallets
,
poysonous
and
too
violent
Purges
,
salt
,
sharp
,
and
peppered
Meats
,
which
parch
the
Substance
of
the
Liver
,
may
corrupt
the
natural
Hear
.
There
is
also
a
bastard
Flux
of
the
Liver
,
when
the
radical
Moisture
is
not
in
fault
,
nor
the
Faculty
hurt
,
yet
the
Blood
is
impure
and
corrupt
,
by
the
mixture
of
Choller
,
Melancholy
,
or
some
corrupt
Matter
:
or
by
its
staying
too
long
in
the
Liver
,
and
the
parts
adjacent
:
by
which
it
is
made
thick
,
burnt
or
rotten
:
or
the
Spleen
is
in
fault
,
and
doth
not
suck
away
the
drossy
Blood
.
In
this
Bastard
Fluy
,
thick
and
black
Blood
,
and
sometimes
Blood
mixed
with
divers
Humours
,
is
voided
.
The
Signes
of
this
Disease
may
be
gathered
from
what
hath
been
said
,
and
it
differeth
from
the
Dysentery
in
this
,
that
the
Stools
are
lโquid
,
bloody
,
and
watry
,
and
voided
without
pain
.
The
Signes
of
the
Causes
most
be
considered
.
If
this
defect
of
the
Liver
come
from
a
hoe
Distemper
,
there
went
before
a
burning
Feaver
,
or
a
Feaver
is
present
,
green
Vomits
or
Stcols
,
Thirst
,
Foulnesse
of
Body
,
and
Want
of
Appetite
,
stinking
Evacuations
.
If
from
cold
,
the
Stools
are
not
so
stinking
,
nor
is
there
Thirst
;
the
whose
Body
is
colder
and
blewish
.
Moist
and
dry
Causes
produce
contrary
Effects
;
a
moist
Distemper
causeth
more
Stools
and
thin
:
a
dry
,
sewer
and
thicker
,
and
lesse
in
Quantity
,
with
much
Thirst
.
This
Disease
is
very
dangerous
,
because
a
principal
part
is
affected
,
and
the
radical
Moisture
consumed
,
which
can
scarcely
be
restored
,
and
nothing
but
destruction
to
be
hoped
for
;
so
much
the
more
if
the
Disease
comes
of
Hear
.
If
it
comes
in
Feavers
,
the
whole
Body
melteth
and
putrifieth
.
If
it
come
from
a
cold
Cause
,
it
losteth
the
longer
,
and
turns
into
an
incurable
Dropsy
.
Though
a
Bastard-Flux
of
the
Liver
be
dangerous
,
yet
it
is
farr
lesse
then
a
true
one
:
because
the
Liver
is
sound
,
and
the
Distemper
may
be
taken
away
,
if
the
Humours
which
corrupt
the
Blood
be
evacuated
.
In
the
Cure
of
this
Disease
,
your
main
work
is
to
strengthen
the
Liver
,
correct
the
Distemper
,
and
stay
the
Flux
.
If
it
come
from
a
cold
Cause
,
deal
with
it
as
with
a
Dropsy
.
But
if
it
come
of
a
hot
Cause
(
as
for
the
most
part
it
doth
,
)
you
may
gently
evacuate
the
peccant
Humours
with
Rubarb
,
as
you
are
taught
in
the
Cure
of
the
Dysentery
.
Then
you
must
give
Medicines
,
which
strengthen
the
Liver
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Succory
,
Sorrell
,
Bloodwort
,
and
Monks-Rubath
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Leaves
of
Plantane
,
Endive
,
Succory
,
Purslane
,
Agrimeny
,
and
Dandelion
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
Wormwood
,
half
a
handfull
:
Red
Sanders
,
two
Drachms
:
Coriander
seeds
prepared
,
a
Drachm
:
red
Roses
,
one
Pugill
,
the
shavings
of
Ivory
and
Spodium
,
of
each
,
a
Drachm
:
boil
them
in
Barly
water
to
a
Quart
,
and
in
the
straining
,
dissolve
,
of
the
Sirrups
of
Quinces
,
Vinegar
Simple
,
and
dried
Roses
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
;
of
the
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
as
much
as
will
make
it
moderately
sharp
;
and
make
a
Julep
for
six
Doses
,
to
be
given
Morning
and
Evening
,
First
and
Last
.
The
Sirrup
of
Myrtles
,
of
Succory
simple
,
or
compound
with
Rubarb
,
the
Sirrup
,
Tincture
,
or
Magistery
of
Pearl
is
very
good
,
and
may
be
made
use
of
as
the
former
,
or
made
into
a
Julep
with
Plantane
,
or
other
cooling
Waters
.
The
Liver
of
a
Wolf
is
much
commended
,
and
it
may
be
made
into
an
Electuary
,
Opiate
,
or
into
any
other
form
,
with
the
aforenamed
ingredients
.
The
Tops
of
young
Nettles
boiled
in
Broth
or
Water
are
good
,
and
the
juyce
taken
is
more
powerful
to
stop
the
Flux
and
to
purify
the
Blood
.
It
is
good
to
apply
an
Epitheme
to
the
Region
of
the
Liver
,
made
of
the
aforenamed
Ingredients
,
or
as
many
of
them
as
you
think
good
.
It
is
convenient
that
,
among
your
Medicines
,
which
you
give
to
stop
the
Flux
,
you
administer
such
as
are
restorative
,
because
in
this
Disease
the
Body
is
much
consumed
.
Riverius
much
commendeth
this
distilled
Water
,
and
the
truth
is
,
it
deserveth
commendation
:
Take
a
fat
Capon
and
a
Partridge
;
pull
and
draw
them
,
and
filth
ir
bellyes
with
Succory
,
Agrimony
,
and
Snails
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
Conserve
of
Roses
,
three
Ounces
:
Plantane
and
Coriander
Seeds
prepared
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
Citron
Myrabolans
,
one
Drachm
:
the
Leavs
of
Bloodwort
,
half
a
handfull
:
the
Troches
of
Amber
and
Spodium
,
of
each
,
four
Scruples
:
the
Powder
of
the
Electuary
de
Gemmis
,
Triasantalon
,
and
Diamargariton
frigidum
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
Sprinkle
them
with
Styptick
Wine
,
and
put
them
into
the
Fowls
Bellyes
:
boil
them
in
a
close
Vessel
,
in
four
Pints
of
Water
,
till
half
be
consumed
;
then
put
them
into
a
glasse
Limbeck
with
three
Ounces
of
good
Wine
,
and
distill
them
in
Balaeo
:
give
a
little
of
the
Water
often
by
it self
,
or
with
other
Medicines
.
CHAP.
L.
Of
the
Worms
.
Worms
(
for
the
most
part
)
breed
in
the
Guts
,
therefore
I
shall
speak
of
them
here
.
Galen
Propounds
three
kinds
of
Worms
;
the
First
,
are
round
and
long
,
and
are
called
Teretes
,
and
are
more
common
then
the
rest
,
and
are
bred
in
the
Guts
,
but
do
somtimes
get
up
into
the
Stomach
.
The
Second
are
called
Ascarides
,
they
are
little
and
smal
,
like
threds
,
and
they
commonly
ly
in
the
lower
part
of
the
thick
Intestines
,
and
over
against
the
Sphincter-Muscle
:
The
third
sort
are
broad
Worms
and
long
,
though
seldome
seen
:
sometimes
they
are
voided
of
an
incredible
length
.
They
are
bred
of
such
Nourishment
as
easily
putrifieth
in
the
Stomach
:
hence
it
cometh
to
passe
that
Children
,
and
such
as
are
gluttonous
,
who
eat
much
Fruit
and
such
things
as
easily
putrify
,
especially
more
being
eaten
,
before
the
former
is
digested
,
are
troubled
with
Worms
.
The
Signes
of
Worms
in
the
Guts
are
divers
,
not
in
all
alike
:
a
stinking
and
sowr
Breath
,
Stools
like
Cow
dung
;
in
colour
,
Gray
like
Potters
earth
.
Sometimes
there
is
a
continual
Feaver
,
Heavinesse
,
Fainting
,
Loathing
,
Vomiting
,
unquenchable
Thirst
,
and
sometimes
cold
Sweats
:
an
unequal
Pulse
,
the
Cheeks
are
,
sometimes
red
,
sometimes
blew
,
the
Eyes
shine
,
the
Nose
itcheth
,
the
Teeth
gnash
,
a
dry
Cough
.
There
is
pain
in
the
Belly
,
sometimes
by
Inflammation
,
and
sometimes
by
Distention
,
some
start
in
their
Sleep
.
Sometimes
the
Body
pineth
,
and
the
Patient
hath
an
insatiable
Appetite
,
this
is
a
Signe
of
flat
Worms
,
which
eat
up
the
Food
.
The
Ascarides
are
known
by
the
itching
of
the
Fundament
,
and
the
Excrements
are
many
times
full
of
them
.
Sometimes
the
eating
away
of
the
Gums
is
a
Signe
of
Worms
.
Though
to
Children
and
older
Folk
Worms
are
common
,
and
little
feared
,
yet
many
and
dangerous
Symptoms
and
Diseases
are
bred
by
them
.
In
the
beginning
of
a
Disease
,
it
is
evil
for
Worms
to
be
voided
alive
or
dead
,
especially
alone
without
Dung
:
if
they
be
alive
,
they
signify
great
Crudity
,
and
Want
of
Nourishment
;
if
dead
,
great
Putrefaction
,
by
which
they
are
killed
.
In
the
declining
of
a
Disease
,
Worms
comming
forth
with
the
Excrements
,
is
a
good
Signe
.
The
Cure
of
the
Worms
consisteth
in
giving
Medicines
to
kill
them
,
and
to
evacuate
them
being
killed
.
The
best
way
to
kill
them
,
or
at
least
to
drive
them
to
the
lower
Intestines
,
are
these
Simples
which
follow
,
viz.
all
the
sorts
of
Wormwood
,
Southernwood
,
Calamint
,
Dogs-tooth
,
Century
,
Horehound
,
Dittany
,
Hyssop
,
Rew
,
Savin
,
Peach
leavs
,
Coriander
seed
,
Harts
horn
,
Lupines
,
Mints
,
Garlick
,
Elecampane
,
and
many
other
:
of
these
Simples
may
several
forms
of
Medicines
be
composed
,
mixing
with
them
such
things
as
purge
,
not
onely
to
kill
,
but
also
to
carry
away
the
Cause
of
Worms
;
Rubarb
is
much
commended
,
because
it
may
safely
be
given
,
if
a
Feaver
be
present
.
Take
of
Rubarb
,
one
Drachm
,
yellow
Sanders
,
half
a
Scruple
;
infuse
them
,
in
Purslane
water
,
three
Ounces
,
strain
them
,
and
dissolve
the
Powder
of
Rubarb
,
and
the
Powder
against
the
Worms
(
which
you
may
have
at
the
Apothecaryes
)
of
each
,
one
Scruple
,
Sirrup
of
Roses
,
one
Ounce
;
mix
them
,
and
make
a
Potion
.
If
the
Feaver
be
not
great
,
add
Hiera
picra
to
your
Potion
,
more
or
lesse
according
to
the
strength
of
your
Patient
,
afterwards
give
a
Clister
,
made
of
the
Decoction
of
Liquorish
,
Raisons
,
Figs
;
or
Chicken
Broth
sweetned
with
Sugar
and
Hony
of
Roses
;
such
Clisters
are
good
to
draw
them
down
into
the
thick
Guts
.
Afterwards
give
a
Clister
made
after
this
manner
:
Take
of
Wormwood
,
Southernwood
,
Century
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
Lupines
,
half
an
Ounce
:
the
Seed
of
Wormwood
,
and
Coriander
seed
prepared
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
In
a
half
Pint
or
a
Pint
of
the
strained
Liquor
,
(
according
umo
the
age
of
the
Patient
)
dissolve
one
Ounce
or
two
of
the
Oyl
of
Wormwood
,
and
Salt
,
one
Drachm
and
an
half
.
To
bring
them
out
being
killed
,
add
to
the
former
Clister
,
Benedicta
Laxativa
,
Hiera
picra
,
and
Cassia
newly
drawn
,
of
each
,
three
Drachms
,
or
more
if
your
Patient
can
bear
it
.
Rondoleitus
doth
highly
commend
Diaearthamum
;
and
the
Infusion
of
Agarick
in
Oxymel
,
because
it
not
onely
killeth
Worms
,
but
purgeth
Phlegm
and
corrupted
Chyle
,
of
which
,
Worms
breed
and
are
nourished
:
but
this
remember
,
they
are
not
proper
Remedies
in
Feavers
.
Therefore
,
if
the
Sick
hath
a
Feaver
,
you
must
be
careful
how
you
administer
hot
Medicines
,
the
like
you
must
observe
,
if
you
administer
any
thing
to
people
of
hot
Natures
.
Women
do
commonly
give
Wormseed
to
their
Children
for
the
Worms
,
mixed
with
sweet
things
,
which
is
a
Medicine
not
to
be
despised
.
But
,
least
it
should
hurt
by
its
Hear
,
infuse
it
two
hours
in
Vinegar
,
afterwards
mix
it
with
boyled
Hony
,
and
make
an
Opiate
,
which
Amatus
Lusitanus
much
commendeth
.
Forrestus
as
highly
commendeth
burnt
Harts-horn
given
with
Raisons
.
Aloes
are
much
in
use
likewise
,
but
the
Pill
de
Aloe
rosata
is
much
better
,
if
half
a
Drachm
be
given
at
Night
.
The
Juyce
of
Lemmons
is
good
,
(
if
there
be
a
Feaver
)
and
a
good
corrigent
for
hotter
Medicines
.
If
they
have
not
a
Feaver
,
the
Chymical
Oyl
of
Juniper
given
one
drop
in
Broth
is
excellent
:
and
no
lesse
effectual
is
spring
Water
,
made
sharp
with
Oyl
of
Vitriol
.
Many
(
and
those
very
learned
)
Physitians
have
much
commended
Quicksilver
,
who
say
it
may
be
taken
in
a
moderate
quantity
with
admirable
successe
,
and
without
the
least
danger
to
the
Body
:
for
Dioscorides
saith
,
that
it
killeth
no
otherwise
,
but
by
tearing
the
Guts
with
its
great
weight
;
therefore
we
fear
not
to
give
it
in
a
small
Quantity
,
because
its
Weight
and
Roundnesse
will
easily
carry
it
through
the
Body
.
Of
this
opinion
also
was
Mathiolus
,
Brassavolus
,
Fallovius
,
Platerus
,
Fabricius
,
Hildanus
,
John
Baptista
Zappata
,
Baricellus'
Sanctorius
,
and
many
others
,
who
extol
the
benefit
of
this
Medicine
to
the
heavens
for
its
Virtue
,
and
say
they
never
found
any
inconvenience
by
it
.
Those
that
dread
the
use
of
that
,
let
them
use
Mercurius
Dulcis
well
prepared
;
the
Dose
for
once
taking
,
is
from
eight
to
ten
Grains
,
for
a
Boy
of
ten
years
of
Age
;
it
will
be
better
if
you
mix
,
of
Diagridium
,
half
the
weight
of
the
former
,
to
carry
it
sooner
out
of
the
Body
,
and
to
expel
the
Worms
,
if
you
give
it
to
a
child
yonger
,
or
to
a
weak
Child
,
give
it
in
a
smaller
quantity
.
Lastly
,
you
may
make
Topicks
,
of
what
form
you
please
,
to
apply
to
the
Belly
:
Take
of
the
Oyls
of
Wormwood
,
Mints
,
and
bitter
Almonds
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Juyce
of
Wormwood
and
Rue
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
Wormseed
,
Aloes
,
and
Elicampane
in
powder
,
of
each
,
a
Drachm
:
Colloquintida
,
six
Drachms
:
of
the
Gall
of
an
Ox
,
two
or
three
Ounces
,
with
Wax
,
sufficient
to
make
an
Unguent
,
or
so
much
(
if
you
please
)
as
will
make
a
Plaister
,
and
apply
it
;
if
the
Sick
be
loose
,
leave
out
the
Colloquintida
.
CHAP.
LI.
Of
the
immoderate
Flux
of
the
Haemorrhoids
.
Though
a
moderate
Flux
of
the
Haemorrhoids
be
healthfull
,
and
preserveth
a
man
from
many
and
dangerous
Diseases
,
viz.
the
Pleurisy
,
Peripneumonia
,
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
,
Madnesse
,
Melancholy
,
and
from
many
other
Diseases
;
yet
the
immoderate
Flux
is
very
perillous
,
and
brings
many
pernicious
Diseases
,
viz.
Weaknesse
of
the
whole
Body
,
Coolnesse
of
the
Bowels
,
and
Liver
,
an
Arrophy
,
Cachexia
,
and
Dropsy
for
want
of
natural
Heat
,
for
by
this
Flux
the
Blood
is
wasted
,
which
is
the
Treasure
of
life
,
and
Cherisher
of
the
whole
Body
.
This
Flux
hath
the
same
Cause
that
other
bleedings
have
,
viz.
Blood
offending
in
Quantity
or
Quality
.
In
Quantity
,
when
plenty
of
Blood
it
brought
to
the
Haemorrhoid
Veins
,
and
dilateth
and
openeth
the
Orifices
,
or
overmastereth
the
retentive
Faculty
,
hence
followeth
a
Flux
.
If
the
Blood
offend
in
Quality
,
as
Sharpnesse
and
Thinnesse
,
it
stirrs
up
the
expulsive
Faculty
,
and
sendeth
forth
both
good
and
bad
Blood
.
This
Disease
is
known
by
weaknesse
,
and
a
yellowish
Colour
of
the
Body
,
comming
upon
a
long
Flux
of
the
Haemorrhoids
.
If
too
much
Blood
be
the
Cause
of
the
Flux
,
there
went
before
,
Causes
of
encrease
of
Blood
;
and
the
beginning
of
the
Flux
was
a
refreshment
to
the
Patient
;
but
the
Flux
continuing
,
he
grows
weak
.
If
the
Flux
came
from
Sharpnesse
and
Thinnesse
of
the
Blood
,
there
preceded
Causes
which
breed
Choller
,
or
sharp
Water
,
the
Body
is
of
a
cholerick
Constitution
,
the
Blood
floweth
violently
and
is
shining
,
whereas
if
it
offend
onely
in
Quantity
,
it
is
black
and
Melancholy
.
To
perform
the
Cure
,
you
must
stanch
or
moderate
the
Blood
,
by
revelling
,
deriving
,
thickning
,
and
astringing
Means
.
First
,
open
a
Vein
in
the
Arm
,
and
if
the
Patient
hath
not
lost
much
Blood
,
but
aboundeth
therewith
,
draw
Blood
plentifully
;
otherwise
,
draw
little
and
often
.
Rub
and
bind
the
superior
parts
,
and
Cup
and
Scarify
the
Shoulders
that
the
Blood
may
be
revelled
.
By
gentle
Purges
,
derive
the
cholerick
Humours
,
which
make
the
Blood
so
violent
:
purge
with
such
things
as
have
an
astringent
Quality
,
as
Rubarb
,
Myrabolans
,
Tamarinds
,
such
as
are
prescribed
against
vomiting
of
Blood
,
and
bleeding
at
the
Nose
.
But
beware
lest
the
Body
be
too
much
bound
,
lest
by
straining
,
the
Veins
will
be
more
open
:
therefore
after
the
use
of
astringents
,
let
the
Patient
eat
sharp
French
Prunes
before
and
after
Meat
.
Then
you
must
give
such
things
as
may
thicken
the
Blood
,
(
have
recourse
to
the
19
,
30
and
39
Chapters
.
)
Lastly
,
you
must
prepare
astringent
Fomentations
and
Unguents
to
be
applyed
to
the
Haemorreoid
Veins
:
boil
Mullein
in
Smith's
water
,
and
foment
;
or
you
may
add
other
Herbs
of
the
same
Nature
to
it
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Bistort
,
half
a
Pound
:
the
Leaves
of
Plantane
,
Mullein
,
Shepherds
purse
,
Bramble
,
and
Oak
Leavs
,
of
each
,
two
Handfulls
:
Pomegranate
Flowers
and
Peels
,
Galls
and
Sumach
berries
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
red
Roses
,
two
Pugills
;
Myrtles
,
half
a
Drachm
:
Allum
,
one
Ounce
,
boil
them
in
three
parts
of
Smith's
Water
,
and
one
of
red
Wine
,
and
foment
the
part
therewith
,
but
let
it
be
but
moderately
hot
.
Or
with
a
greater
quantity
of
the
Simples
,
you
may
make
a
Bath
for
the
Sick
to
sit
in
,
but
let
it
not
be
hot
.
Or
you
may
make
an
Ointment
with
their
Juyces
,
and
Bolearmenick
.
Terra
Sigillata
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Ceruse
,
Vinegar
,
and
such
like
;
Unguentum
Comitissae
is
good
to
anoint
the
Veins
and
the
Back
.
The
Dripping
of
un
Eel
is
much
commended
.
Or
take
the
Hairs
of
an
Hare
burnt
,
Spiders
Webs
mixed
with
the
white
of
an
Egg
,
and
apply
it
.
Or
touch
the
Vein
with
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
and
,
in
a
desperate
Case
,
with
Aqua
Fortis
.
If
the
Veins
should
ulcerate
,
cleanse
the
Ulcer
as
you
are
taught
in
divers
places
of
this
Treatise
.
But
be
sure
you
consider
the
State
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
;
if
they
be
hot
or
weak
,
cool
or
strengthen
them
,
as
you
are
taught
in
their
proper
Chapters
.

LII
.
Of
the
pain
of
the
Haemorrhoids
.
THe
Haemorrhoid-Veins
,
sometimes
do
swell
and
cause
very
great
pain
.
The
cause
of
this
differeth
not
from
the
former
,
for
the
blood
offending
in
quantity
or
quality
,
and
cannot
open
the
ends
of
the
Veins
,
causeth
a
Tumor
,
or
inflammation
.
These
Tumours
are
sometimes
like
Grapes
,
Mulberries
,
Warts
,
and
sometimes
like
bladders
:
Some
are
externall
,
others
internall
.
It
is
convenient
that
you
make
a
distinction
between
the
Haemorrhoids
,
and
the
clefts
of
the
Fundament
,
which
are
like
those
chops
which
are
in
the
lips
,
caused
by
sharp
Northerly
winds
:
and
the
Tumor
called
Condiloma
,
which
is
in
colour
,
black
,
as
the
Haemorrhoids
are
,
in
form
,
long
,
and
not
in
the
Veins
;
whereas
the
Haemorrhoids
are
in
the
Veins
,
and
round
.
There
is
also
in
the
Fundament
sometimes
to
be
found
a
carnuons
swelling
,
called
Thymi
,
and
sometimes
in
the
privities
of
Men
and
Women
,
and
they
are
like
the
flowers
of
Thyme
,
they
are
little
,
white
,
or
reddish
,
without
pain
;
the
Haemorrhoids
are
for
the
most
part
black
,
greater
,
and
painfull
.
The
piles
are
greater
then
the
former
,
they
are
called
Fici
,
they
are
blew
and
painfull
,
are
like
the
Haemorrhoids
,
onely
they
are
a
carnuous
swelling
,
and
the
Haemorrhoids
is
a
swelling
of
the
Veins
.
The
Piles
are
of
a
Maligne
quality
,
and
do
sometimes
ulcerate
.
The
swelling
of
the
Haemorrhoids
is
not
dangerous
,
unlesse
it
be
inflamed
,
and
Gangrene
:
Or
if
it
suppurate
and
come
to
an
Ulcer
,
and
chance
to
turn
to
a
Fistula
,
which
may
prove
incurable
.
To
cure
,
you
must
bleed
,
and
make
such
revulsions
prescribed
in
the
former
Chapter
;
likewise
open
the
Saphaena
.
You
must
not
use
strong
purges
,
lest
you
draw
more
humours
to
the
place
,
yet
you
must
keep
the
body
soluble
,
least
the
voiding
of
hard
dung
greatly
encrease
pain
;
keep
the
body
soluble
by
this
or
the
like
Medicine
:
Take
of
the
leaves
of
Lettice
,
Burrage
,
Buglosse
,
and
Mallows
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
Polypody
of
the
Oak
three
ounces
;
Liquorish
,
Raisons
stoned
,
and
Currant
,
of
each
,
half
an
ounce
:
Buglosse
,
Burrage
,
and
Violet-flowers
,
of
each
,
one
Pugill
;
Boil
it
in
running
water
to
a
pint
and
an
half
;
Strain
it
,
and
infuse
therein
an
Ounce
of
Senna
,
(
the
liquor
being
kept
hot
)
six
hours
;
then
put
in
of
Cassia
newly
drawn
,
one
ounce
,
and
let
it
stand
an
hour
;
strain
it
,
and
Clarify
it
,
and
sweeten
it
with
two
ounces
of
syrrup
of
Violits
,
make
four
potions
thereof
,
and
give
it
twice
in
a
day
,
first
and
last
.
Then
you
must
apply
such
things
to
them
which
hath
power
to
case
pain
,
viz.
the
Oil
of
Peach-kernells
,
Sweet
Almonds
,
Nuts
,
Egs
,
Box
:
or
oils
of
the
seeds
of
Poppy
,
or
Henbane
.
Of
these
may
divers
Lineaments
be
made
,
good
to
appease
pain
,
discuss
the
Tumor
,
and
to
dry
the
Ulcers
:
Take
of
the
oyl
of
Eggs
,
(
made
in
a
Leaden
Morter
)
the
oyl
of
Violets
,
and
Roses
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
Populeon
,
half
an
Ounce
,
the
Oyl
of
Box
,
two
scruples
,
with
Hens
Grease
,
and
Goats
Suet
,
sufficient
to
make
a
Liniment
,
and
apply
it
,
or
take
of
the
juice
of
Purslane
,
and
honey
,
of
each
,
two
ounces
;
white
Diachylon
,
mollified
with
the
Oyl
of
Chamomell
,
two
Ounces
,
Opium
,
six
grains
;
make
an
Unguent
.
Horstius
commendeth
wild
Flax
made
into
an
Oyntment
,
with
Hogs
grease
.
To
discusse
the
Tumor
,
the
Balsome
of
Sulphur
is
much
commended
,
or
this
Cataplasme
is
good
.
Take
of
Plantane
,
Pilewort
,
and
Mallows
of
each
a
like
quantity
;
make
a
decoction
in
Milk
,
till
the
liquor
be
half
wasted
,
strain
out
the
hearbs
,
and
make
a
Cataplasm
with
the
crums
of
white
bread
;
adding
to
it
the
Oyl
of
Violets
,
Roses
,
Myrtles
,
and
the
like
.
Or
a
Cataplasm
made
of
the
heads
of
Leeks
,
is
much
commended
.
Green
Elder
leaves
boyled
to
slime
,
and
applyed
,
and
often
renewed
,
are
very
good
.
The
Lungs
of
a
Sheep
or
Goat
taken
hot
,
and
some
slices
thereof
applyed
,
or
if
the
sick
sit
upon
them
,
it
oftentimes
proveth
effectuall
.
If
you
see
good
,
you
may
make
a
fomentation
,
with
Mullein
,
Mallows
,
Marshmallows
,
Pellitory
of
the
Wall
,
Flax
,
and
Fenugreek
seed
in
Milk

fume
made
of
the
powder
of
Darnell
,
Mullein
,
Pilewort
,
dried
and
thrown
upon
hot
coals
,
and
the
Sumen
received
.
The
decoction
of

Haemothoids
and
Piles
.
If

not
open
,
bleed
them
with
Leeches
,
or
rub
them
till

CHAP.
LIII
.
Of
a
hot
distemper
of
the
Liver
.
A
Hot
distemper
of
the
Liver
is
either
with
,
or
without
matter
;
but
for
the
most
part
,
a
hot
distemper
of
the
Liver
,
doth
produce
hot
and
cholerick
humours
:
It
is
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
;
it
is
caused
either
by
hot
weather
,
violent
exercise
,
anger
,
or
such
like
passions
of
the
mind
:
hot
or
spiced
nourishment
,
drinking
much
Wine
,
or
any
thing
that
is
naturally
hot
.
This
distemper
is
known
by
loathing
of
meat
,
the
body
Costive
and
hot
,
especially
the
palms
of
the
hands
,
and
soles
of
the
feet
,
the
whole
body
groweth
lean
;
a
bitternesse
of
the
mouth
,
and
for
the
most
part
a
Feaver
;
if
there
be
plenty
of
humours
,
the
patient
vomiteth
,
or
evacuateth
downwards
Choller
;
he
is
the
worse
for
hot
,
and
the
better
for
cold
things
.
This
distemper
,
though
not
very
dangerous
in
it
solf
,
yet
may
be
the
cause
of
many
diseases
:
It
is
hard
to
cure
it
if
the
stomach
be
cold
,
because
what
you
give
to
cool
the
Liver
,
increaseth
the
distemper
of
the
stomach
.
To
cure
it
,
you
must
cool
the
Liver
,
and
evacuate
Choller
.
First
give
a
Laxative
and
cooling
Clister
;
then
,
open
the
Liver-Vein
in
the
right
arm
,
and
draw
as
much
bloud
as
the
patients
strength
will
well
bear
,
either
at
once
or
at
severall
times
.
Then
make
an
Apozeme
to
purge
Choller
,
thus
,
Take
the
roots
of
yellow
Docks
,
or
Muncks
Ruharb
,
Sorrel
,
Succory
,
and
Licoris
,
of
each
one
Ounce
,
the
Leaves
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
Fumitory
,
Dandelion
,
and
Burrage
,
of
each
one
handfull
;
of
the
great
cold
seeds
,
of
each
three
Drachres
:
Of
the
Cordiall
flowers
,
of
each
,
one
Pugill
,
Tamarinds
one
Ounce
;
boil
them
to
a
Pint
and
an
half
,
then
adde
to
infuse
of
Rubarb
and
Senna
,
of
each
half
an
Ounce
,
Syrrup
of
Succory
,
with
Rubarb
,
and
of
Roses
Solutive
,
add
at
the
last
,
and
clarify
it
,
aromatize
it
with
two
drachms
of
yellow
Sanders
.
Let
the
Patient
take
it
four
mornings
.
Let
his
ordinary
drink
be
Barly-water
,
and
put
therein
the
Syrrup
of
Lemmons
or
Maiden-hair
;
or
,
if
he
delight
in
things
that
are
sharper
,
make
it
sharp
with
the
spirit
of
Sulphur
,
or
Vitriol
.
Whey
likewise
is
very
good
,
it
is
best
if
it
be
made
by
turning
the
milk
with
Vinegar
,
or
the
juice
of
Lemmons
,
and
add
such
things
as
I
advised
for
the
Barly
water
.
Likewise
you
may
prepare
Juleps
to
cool
the
Liver
.
Take
the
waters
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
Sorrel
,
and
Buglosse
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
the
Syrrups
of
Lemmons
,
Sweet
Apples
,
and
Pomegranats
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
of
the
Syrrup
of
Corall
,
compound
half
an
ounce
,
the
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
ten
drops
,
mix
them
,
and
make
a
Julep
for
four
doses
;
Or
,
Take
of
the
Conserve
of
the
flowers
of
Buglosse
,
Violets
and
Succory
,
of
each
one
Ounce
,
the
conserve
of
Hips
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
,
with
Syrrup
of
Lemmons
make
an
Opiate
,
and
take
a
little
often
.
Likewise
you
may
make
a
decoction
of
China
,
and
Hepatick
hearbs
,
sweetning
it
with
the
aforenamed
Syrrups
,
and
taking
half
a
pint
in
the
morning
.
Likewise
of
the
aforenamed
cooling
hearbs
you
may
make
an
Apozen
to
cool
the
Liver
,
or
you
may
make
a
Bath
to
cool
and
moysten
the
body
.
CHAP.
LIV.
Of
the
Inflammation
of
the
Liver
.
THe
Inflammation
of
the
Liver
,
is
a
hot
Tumor
,
occasioned
by
bloud
,
out
of
its
proper
vessells
,
sent
into
the
substance
of
the
Liver
.
This
Tumor
ariseth
either
from
pure
bloud
,
or
else
the
bloud
is
mixed
with
Choller
,
Flegme
,
or
Melancholly
,
so
producing
either
a
true
,
Erysipelous
,
Oedematous
,
or
Schirrous
Phlegmon
.
This
Tumor
is
sometimes
in
the
gibbous
,
or
hollow
part
,
of
the
Liver
.
The
causes
of
this
disease
are
too
much
bloud
,
or
the
heat
,
thinnesse
or
sharpnesse
thereof
,
and
by
its
motion
in
the
Veins
it
is
sometimes
thrown
into
the
Liver
:
For
,
the
Liver
being
hot
and
in
pain
,
doth
attract
the
humours
to
it self
:
or
by
its
weaknesse
,
is
forced
to
receive
the
burden
that
stronger
parts
lay
upon
it
,
according
to
the
Proverb
,
The
weakest
goes
to
the
walls
.
Sometimes
an
obstruction
of
the
Liver
,
by
retaining
the
thick
humours
,
which
by
a
preternaturall
heat
is
inflamed
.
The
externall
causes
are
the
same
which
cause
heat
of
the
Liver
.
To
which
add
a
stroak
,
or
fall
,
bruising
the
Liver
,
or
Medicines
applyed
to
a
cold
stomach
,
or
a
Cupping-Glasse
fastned
to
the
Region
of
the
Liver
.
The
signs
of
the
disease
,
are
heavinesse
in
the
right
Hypocondrion
,
a
weighty
pain
sometimes
extending
it self
to
the
throat
,
and
sometimes
to
the
lower
ribs
,
a
Feaver
more
or
lesse
violent
,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
humour
offending
,
viz.
Choller
,
or
Flegm
,
and
difficulty
of
breathing
,
because
the
motion
of
the
Diaphragma
is
hindered
,
a
dry
chough
,
an
unequal
pulse
and
like
a
Saw
,
the
Tongue
at
the
beginning
red
,
afterwards
black
,
great
thirst
,
loathing
of
meat
,
vomiting
Choller
,
and
sometimes
Flegm
,
a
pale
and
yellowish
colour
of
the
whole
body
,
red
and
flaming
Urine
,
the
sick
hath
more
ease
lying
upon
his
back
,
then
upon
either
side
:
for
the
most
part
he
is
costive
,
because
the
heat
of
the
Liver
dryeth
up
the
moysture
of
the
Chylus
;
but
if
the
Liver
be
weak
also
,
the
sick
is
loose
,
and
the
excrements
are
like
water
wherein
flesh
hath
bin
washed
.
If
the
Gibbous
part
of
the
Liver
be
affected
,
you
may
feel
the
Tumor
in
the
right
Hypochondrion
,
the
breath
is
fetched
with
difficulty
,
and
the
pain
reacheth
to
the
right
side
of
the
Throar
.
If
the
cavity
of
the
Liver
be
affected
,
the
Tumor
is
not
felt
,
but
because
that
part
lyeth
upon
the
stomach
there
is
greater
loathing
of
meat
,
vomitting
,
thirst
,
and
sometimes
loosnesse
of
the
belly
,
by
reason
of
the
corruption
,
which
the
distemper
of
the
Liver
causeth
in
the
Stomach
.
The
signs
of
the
causes
are
thus
known
,
if
the
inflammation
be
of
bloud
onely
,
the
face
is
either
red
or
duskish
,
the
Pulse
is
great
and
soft
,
the
Urine
is
red
and
thick
,
the
body
is
full
of
flesh
,
and
there
is
sweetnesse
in
the
mouth
;
and
for
the
most
part
,
the
Patient
is
young
and
hath
fed
high
.
If
Choller
cause
the
inflammation
,
the
face
is
yellow
,
the
pulse
swift
,
hard
and
unequall
,
the
Urine
thin
and
yellow
,
the
body
thin
,
the
eyes
hollow
,
a
bitter
tast
in
the
mouth
,
and
Cholerick
vomitings
.
The
Symptomes
of
the
inflamation
of
the
Abdomen
,
differ
little
from
them
of
the
inflammation
of
the
Liver
,
therefore
let
us
a
little
consider
the
difference
.
If
the
Muscles
of
the
Abdomen
be
inflaฬmed
,
the
skin
is
extended
,
and
if
you
lay
hold
of
it
,
you
cannot
move
it
,
but
if
the
Liver
be
inflamed
,
if
you
lay
hold
on
the
Muscles
,
they
yield
,
and
the
Tumor
appeareth
deeper
.
If
these
Muscles
be
inflamed
,
the
colour
appeareth
fresh
,
and
in
its
naturall
colour
;
but
if
the
Liver
be
inflamed
,
the
colour
is
yellow
as
in
the
Jaundise
,
you
must
likewise
distinguish
between
the
inflammation
of
the
Liver
,
and
a
Pleurisy
.
Sometimes
moist
and
bloudy
stools
,
distinguish
it
;
in
the
Pleurisy
the
pain
will
be
vehement
,
and
great
towards
the
right
Hypocondria
,
no
change
of
colour
,
the
cough
great
and
dry
,
with
bloudy
spittle
for
the
most
part
,
the
pulse
hard
and
like
a
Saw
;
the
inflammation
of
the
Liver
is
manifosted
by
the
signs
laid
down
before
.
If
the
Mesentery
be
inflamed
,
the
Tumor
appeareth
beneath
the
region
of
the
Liver
,
the
stools
will
be
thin
and
moist
,
with
unconcocted
matter
;
if
the
party
recover
,
the
matter
quickly
is
concocted
,
the
colour
of
the
face
is
not
much
altered
.
Prog.
every
inflammation
of
the
Liver
is
dangerous
,
for
the
most
part
deadly
:
if
the
Patient
be
not
cured
,
or
killed
presently
,
the
disease
ends
in
a
Dropsy
,
Atrophy
,
or
Consumption
.
If
Choller
be
the
cause
of
the
inflammation
,
it
is
worse
then
if
bloud
were
the
cause
,
and
the
Feaver
is
stronger
.
The
Hicchough
in
this
distemper
,
is
a
very
evill
sign
,
for
it
shews
the
greater
Malignity
of
the
inflammation
,
which
doth
disturb
the
Stomach
.
A
Flux
joyned
with
it
,
unlesse
it
be
criticall
,
and
the
humours
evacuated
,
concocted
,
is
deadly
.
To
cure
it
,
follow
the
rules
prescribed
in
the
42.
Chapt.
Of
the
Inflaฬmation
of
the
Stomach
.
Let
his
drink
be
Barly
water
,
with
a
little
Syrrup
of
Violets
.
If
the
disease
be
stubborn
,
to
the
former
Medicines
prescribed
in
the
42.
Chapter
,
add
this
following
Apozeme
.
Take
of
the
roots
of
Smallage
,
Fennell
and
Parsly
,
of
each
,
two
ounces
;
the
leaves
of
Agrimony
,
Violets
,
Succory
,
and
Maidenhair
,
of
each
one
handfull
;
Polypody
of
the
Oak
four
Ounces
,
Chammell
flowers
,
one
Ounce
;
the
seeds
of
Fennell
,
Gromwell
,
and
Parsly
,
of
each
one
Drachm
:
boil
it
to
a
Pint
and
an
half
,
and
in
the
strained
Liquor
infuse
an
Ounce
of
Senna
,
and
three
Drachms
of
Rubarb
;
afterwards
,
add
of
Sirrup
of
violets
and
Vinegar
Simple
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
divide
it
into
four
Doses
,
and
let
the
Sick
take
every
other
Morning
.
Then
make
an
Epithem
,
Liniment
,
Unguent
,
or
Plaister
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Juyce
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
Sorrell
,
and
Plantane
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
of
the
Oyls
of
Roses
,
Wormwood
,
Camomill
,
and
Myrtles
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Vinegar
,
half
an
Ounce
:
boil
it
to
the
Consumption
of
the
Juyces
:
then
add
of
the
three
Sanders
in
Powder
,
of
each
,
one
Scruple
:
with
Wax
sufficient
,
make
an
unguent
,
and
anoint
the
Region
of
the
Liver
.
If
the
Pain
and
Feaver
decreaseth
,
you
must
add
to
the
former
Oyntment
,
such
things
as
dissolve
and
mollify
as
well
as
cool
:
as
the
Flowers
of
Camomill
and
Melilot
,
Barly-meal
,
the
Roots
of
Marsh-mallows
,
Calamus
Aromaticus
,
and
Cypresse
:
the
Leaves
of
Mallows
,
Violets
,
and
Agrimony
:
the
Seeds
of
Annise
,
Fennell
,
Faenugreek
,
and
Flax.
Or
with
these
Simples
you
may
make
a
Fomentation
.
If
the
Inflammation
be
not
discussed
,
as
it
seldom
can
,
it
tends
to
Suppuration
;
otherwise
to
a
Gangrene
.
The
Imposthume
,
for
the
most
part
,
is
compleat
in
twenty
dayes
,
it
is
very
dangerous
,
and
few
escape
thereof
.
But
if
it
be
little
,
and
onely
in
one
part
of
the
Liver
,
and
the
Matter
white
which
comes
forth
by
Urine
and
Stool
,
the
Sick
escapeth
;
if
it
be
in
the
outward
part
of
the
Liver
,
it
may
be
opened
by
an
actual
Cautery
,
and
if
the
Matter
which
cometh
forth
be
white
,
the
Patient
escapeth
.
After
the
Imposthume
is
broken
,
there
remaineth
an
Ulcer
,
if
the
Patient
continueth
:
the
Ulcer
is
hard
to
cure
,
and
bringeth
the
Patient
into
a
Dropsy
or
Marasmus
.
But
sometimes
sharp
,
cholerick
,
and
corroding
Humours
in
the
Liver
produce
an
Ulcer
without
Inflammation
.
This
Ulcer
is
discovered
by
the
Signes
following
:
Pain
in
the
right
Hypocondrion
,
mattery
and
bloody
Stools
,
and
pain
in
the
Bowels
as
in
the
Dysentery
;
onely
here
the
Weight
and
Pricking
about
the
Liver
maketh
a
Distinction
:
sometimes
pieces
of
the
Liver
have
been
voided
by
Stool
.
If
the
outward
part
of
the
Liver
be
ulcerated
,
the
Urine
is
mattery
,
without
any
Disease
in
the
Bladder
or
Reins
.
The
Colour
is
yellow
,
sometimes
small
Pimples
in
the
Face
,
a
stinking
Breath
,
Loathing
Flesh
,
and
the
Sick
fainteth
often
.
An
Ulcer
in
the
Liver
is
accompanied
(
for
the
most
part
)
with
an
Hective
Feaver
;
for
the
most
part
Death
lodgeth
not
farr
from
it
:
that
which
followeth
an
Imposthume
and
Inflammation
is
more
dangerous
then
the
other
.
If
it
tends
to
Suppuration
,
it
is
hardly
cured
,
yet
you
must
proceed
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Emplaster
of
Diachilon
magnum
,
and
Melilot
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Gum
Ammoniacum
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Oyl
of
Wormwood
and
Wax
,
make
a
Plaister
,
and
spread
it
upon
Leather
in
the
form
of
an
half
Moon
,
and
apply
it
to
the
Region
of
the
Liver
.
Make
use
also
of
mollifying
Cataplasms
.
Give
inwardly
Chicken
Broth
,
and
boil
therein
Marsh
and
common
Mallows
,
Figs
,
&c.
When
the
Imposthume
is
broken
,
make
use
of
the
Medicines
prescribed
for
the
Cure
of
an
Ulcer
in
the
Stomach
;
give
him
to
drink
Whey
or
Barly-Water
and
Hony
of
Roses
.
If
the
Suppuration
be
outwardly
and
after
the
opening
thereof
,
the
Matter
is
filthy
,
red
and
stinking
,
Death
must
perfect
the
Cure
;
but
if
the
Matter
evacuated
be
white
and
concocted
,
there
is
hopes
of
Recovery
.
CHAP.
LV.
Of
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
or
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
,
is
a
Disease
organical
,
a
preternatural
Straitnesse
of
the
Branches
of
the
Vena
Porta
,
and
Vena
Cava
,
as
also
the
whole
Substance
of
the
Liver
,
which
hinders
the
distribution
of
Blood
and
Nourishment
,
by
reason
of
a
preternatural
Humour
which
shutteth
up
the
Passages
.
The
Quantity
or
Quality
of
the
Humours
may
be
the
Cause
of
Obstruction
.
Plenty
of
Humours
cause
Obstruction
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Vessels
,
which
by
fulnesse
are
so
distended
,
that
they
cannot
contract
themselves
to
send
forth
the
Matter
.
The
Quality
of
the
Humours
is
grosse
,
tough
,
and
clammy
Excrements
sticking
to
the
Passages
,
and
are
more
thickned
by
the
Heat
of
the
part
:
viz.
Phlegm
which
easily
groweth
thick
and
clammy
;
Mela
choly
,
which
is
cold
,
thick
,
and
drossy
:
Choller
,
staying
long
in
the
Liver
,
grows
thick
:
and
sometimes
the
Thicknesse
of
the
Blood
may
cause
Obstruction
;
sometimes
grosse
Vapours
may
cause
Obstruction
,
as
in
the
Chollick
.
All
things
which
make
thick
and
clammy
Humours
,
as
a
cloudy
and
thick
Air
;
Meats
,
that
are
astringent
,
cold
,
of
grosse
Juyce
,
hard
of
Concoction
being
immoderately
eaten
,
or
more
eaten
,
then
the
Constitution
of
the
Body
can
well
dispense
with
;
as
Beef
,
Bacon
,
Pork
,
and
Fish
dryed
in
the
Smoak
;
Cheese
,
Pease
,
Beans
,
&c.
Pears
,
Quinces
,
Medlars
,
Services
,
and
Mushrooms
:
Bread
not
well
baked
,
muddy
Ale
,
and
astringent
Wine
.
A
cold
Distemper
of
the
Liver
,
which
cannot
well
concoct
the
Chylus
,
but
turns
it
into
a
salt
,
tartarous
,
and
mucilaginous
Matter
,
may
be
the
Cause
of
Obstruction
.
Distempers
of
the
Stomach
,
by
reason
of
which
it
cannot
well
concoct
,
but
beget
crude
Chyle
,
which
the
Liver
cannot
well
order
,
may
be
the
Cause
.
Diag
:
In
this
Distemper
,
the
Excrements
are
not
naturall
,
but
are
moist
,
white
,
chylous
,
or
bloody
:
The
Urine
,
white
,
thin
,
and
warry
:
when
the
Patient
walketh
fast
,
or
up
a
Hill
,
he
breatheth
with
difficulty
:
the
Face
pale
,
the
whole
Body
lean
and
dull
:
a
sense
of
Weight
in
the
Hypocondria
,
especially
after
Meat
,
and
though
the
Sick
hath
eat
Meat
light
,
and
little
in
Quantity
,
yet
he
seemeth
as
if
he
had
overgorged
himself
.
Sometimes
the
Hypocondria
is
extended
;
and
a
dry
Cough
.
The
Causes
are
thus
known
:
If
the
Pain
be
heavy
,
extended
and
fixed
,
grosse
Humours
are
the
Cause
.
Sharper
Pains
,
and
more
moveable
,
declare
Wind.
If
cold
Humours
be
the
Cause
;
there
is
more
Weight
,
the
Face
is
pale
,
no
Thirst
nor
Feaver
:
a
thick
and
cold
Diet
preceded
:
the
contrary
Signes
declare
hot
Humours
to
be
the
cause
,
Choller
maketh
the
Face
yellow
,
and
blood-red
.
Prog
:
An
Obstruction
newly
begun
may
be
easily
cured
:
but
an
old
,
hardly
.
If
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
be
not
removed
,
it
breeds
many
dangerous
Diseases
:
in
a
word
,
it
may
be
well
called
the
Mother
of
all
Diseases
.
That
which
comes
of
crude
&
phlegmatick
Humours
is
worse
then
that
which
comes
of
Wind.
You
must
begin
the
Cure
with
universal
Evacuations
,
suitable
to
the
Nature
of
the
Disease
,
the
Strength
and
Constitution
of
the
Patient
.
If
Blood
abound
,
open
the
Liver-Vein
,
but
beware
lest
you
cool
the
Body
too
much
.
Then
you
must
make
opening-Broths
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Smallage
,
Parsly
,
Fennell
,
and
Asparagus
,
of
each
,
one
Ource
:
Agrimony
,
Maiden-hair
,
and
Polypody
of
the
Oak
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
the
Seeds
of
Annise
,
Parsly
,
and
Fennell
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
;
boil
them
in
Chicken
or
Mutton
Broth
,
and
strain
it
;
every
Morning
give
the
Sick
a
Porringer
full
,
dissolving
first
therein
,
Cream
of
Tartar
,
one
Drachm
;
Salt
of
Wormwood
and
Tamarisk
,
of
each
,
half
a
Scruple
.
Or
every
other
day
infuse
in
his
Broth
,
half
an
Ounce
of
Senna
,
and
give
it
as
before
.
Baths
and
Fomentations
made
of
sottning
and
opening
things
are
good
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Marsh
mallows
,
Lillyes
,
and
Briony
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
;
the
middle
Rind
of
Tamarisk
,
the
Bark
of
Caper
Roots
,
the
Roots
of
Sea
holly
,
Cypresse
,
and
dwarf-Elder
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
The
Leaves
of
Marsh
and
common
Mallows
,
Camomill
,
Mints
,
Germander
,
Penny-royall
,
Violets
,
and
Wormwood
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
the
Seed
of
Flax
,
Foenugreek
,
and
Juniper
Berryes
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Flowers
of
Broom
,
Elder
,
Camomill
,
and
Mililot
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
boil
them
in
chalybiated
Water
,
and
(
if
you
please
)
add
one
part
of
white-Wine
,
and
foment
the
Region
of
the
Liver
:
or
with
a
greater
Quantity
make
a
Bath
.
Your
Wit
(
if
you
have
any
)
will
teach
you
how
to
make
Unguents
,
of
the
same
ingredients
,
to
anoint
the
part
,
after
fomenting
.
It
is
good
to
have
in
readinesse
an
Opiate
that
openeth
Obstructions
,
strengthneth
the
Stomach
,
Liver
,
and
other
parts
;
Take
of
the
Conserve
of
Wormwood
,
two
Ounces
:
the
Root
of
Elicampane
,
and
Citron
Peels
candied
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Candied
Nutmegs
,
half
an
Ounce
:
one
Myrabolan
candied
,
Confectio
Alchermes
,
two
Drachms
:
Diarrhodon
Abbatis
,
one
Drachm
:
Salt
of
Wormwood
and
Tamarisk
,
of
each
one
Scruple
:
Saffron
,
and
Amber-greese
,
of
each
,
half
a
Scruple
:
with
the
Sirrup
of
the
five
opening
Roots
make
an
Opiate
,
of
which
let
the
Patient
take
the
quantity
of
a
Wal-nut
every
Merning
.
In
this
case
steel-Medicines
are
of

Of
the
Schirrus
of
the
Liver
.
THis
Disease
is
a
hard
Tumor
in
the
Liver
without
Pain
:
it
is
either
perfect
or
imperfect
;
the
perfect
is
without
Pain
or
Sense
:
that
which
is
imperfect
hath
some
Pain
.
This
is
bred
by
crude
,
viscous
,
and
clammy
Humours
sent
from
other
parts
,
or
bred
in
the
Liver
by
evill
Concoction
.
The
imperfect
Schirrus
is
caused
by
immoderate
use
of
discussing
,
or
repercussive
Medicines
;
or
things
which
by
cooling
and
binding
do
thicken
the
Matter
,
and
keep
it
from
dissolving
.
The
Signs
are
,
a
Hardnesse
in
the
right
Hypocondrion
,
and
a
great
Heavinesse
,
especially
,
when
the
Breath
is
fetched
,
neither
Feaver
nor
Pain
,
as
in
the
Inflammation
;
or
at
lest
but
little
Pain
,
when
the
Schirrus
is
imperfect
:
the
Face
is
pale
and
greenish
,
because
there
is
no
good
Blood
produced
by
it
.
The
whole
Body
decayeth
,
because
there
is
no
Sanguification
,
nor
Distribution
of
Nourishment
,
as
ought
to
be
.
To
the
Prognostick
,
Galen
saith
thus
;
an
insensible
Schirrus
is
incurable
:
that
which
is
sensible
is
curable
,
though
with
much
difficulty
.
A
Schirrus
turns
to
the
Dropsy
incurable
;
sometimes
it
causeth
the
Jaundice
:
and
somtimes
it
cometh
in
the
Jaundice
,
both
which
are
very
dangerous
.
To
cure
it
in
the
beginning
of
the
Disease
,
you
must
take
away
the
antecedent
Cause
,
as
you
are
taught
in
the
preceding
chapter
of
Obstructions
,
all
the
Medicines
there
mentioned
are
proper
for
this
.
Riverius
much
commendeth
these
Pills
following
:
Take
of
the
best
Aloes
,
and
Gum
Ammoniacum
,
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
strained
,
and
again
made
thick
,
of

half
an
Ounce
:
Mercurius
Dulcis
,
(
well
prepared
)
two
Drachms
:
Diagridium
,
one
Drachm
:
with
Oxymell
of
Squills
,
make
a
Masse
for
Pills
,
of
which
,
take
half
a
Drachm
in
the
Morning
,
for
twenty
or
thirty
dayes
,
but
sometimes
rest
,
and
in
the
intermediate
dayes
,
make
use
of
the
steeled

other
Medicines
,
mentioned
in
the

Likewise
the
Fomentation
and
Unguent
there
prescribed
may
be
made
use
of

CHAP.
LVII
.
Of
the
Jaundice
.
THe
Jaundice
is
a
spreading
of
a
yellow
Colour
over
the
whole
Body
.
There
is
a
two
fold
Jaundice
,
the
yellow
and
the
black
;
the
black
proceeds
from
the
Spleen
,
and
is
rare
.
I
shall
here
speak
onely
of
the
yellow
Jaundice
.
This
Disease
comes
from
three
principal
Causes
:
First
,
from
an
evil
Disposition
of
the
Liver
,
as
an
Inflammation
,
Obstruction
,
Schirrus
,
or
Weaknesse
thereof
,
that
it
cannot
separate
the
Choller
from
the
Blood
,
and
by
that
means
it
is
carried
over
the
whole
Body
.
A
second
Cause
is
the
Obstruction
of
the
Gall
,
which
hinders
its
passage
into
the
Guts
,
and
so
remains
in
the
Blood
,
with
which
it
is
carried
to
all
parts
of
the
Body
.
The
Gall
is
obstructed
,
either
by
grosse
Phlegm
,
or
Choller
abounding
,
and
sometimes
by
little
stones
bred
therein
,
&c.
The
third
Cause
is
the
Malignity
of
the
cholerick
Humour
,
which
consisteth
,
either
in
the
great
Quantity
which
Nature
cannot
regulate
,
nor
seperate
from
the
Blood
:
or
fills
the
Bagg
so
full
that
it
cannot
contract
it self
to
expell
it
.
Or
else
it
consisteth
in
the
evill
Quality
of
the
Humour
,
which
,
by
corrupting
the
rest
,
hinders
their
due
Evacuations
,
which
Nature
perceiving
,
striveth
suddenly
to
cast
it
forth
:
as
it
sometimes
happens
in
cholerick
Feavers
,
after
the
taking
of
Poyson
,
or
after
the
biting
of
some
venemous
Creature
.
The
Signes
of
the
yellow
Jaundice
is
a
Yellownesse
of
the
Body
,
especially
,
the
whites
of
the
Eyes
and
the
Balls
of
the
Checks
:
cholerick
Vomitings
,
and
Hiccoughs
,
Lazinesse
,
Itching
of
the
Body
,
and
Bitternesse
of
the
Tongue
.
If
it
come
from
a
Distemper
of
the
Liver
:
there
preceded
an
Inflammation
,
Obstruction
,
&c.
If
from
an
Obstruction
of
the
Gall
,
the
Belly
is
bound
and
the
Excrements
white
,
the
Urine
yellow
or
reddish
,
which
will
dye
a
new
piece
of
linnen
cloth
.
If
it
come
from
the
Malignity
of
the
Humour
,
both
the
Urine
and
the
Excrements
are
high
coloured
,
especially
,
after
a
putrid
Feaver
,
now
if
the
Feaver
remain
,
the
Jaundice
is
Symptomatical
;
If
,
when
the
Jaundice
appears
,
the
Feaver
ceaseth
,
the
Urine
and
Excrements
be
of
their
natural
Colour
;
the
Jaundice
is
critical
.
Poyson
taken
and
venemous
Bitings
the
Patient
can
declare
.
They
,
who
in
a
Feaver
have
the
Jaundice
before
the
seventh
or
critical
day
,
are
in
great
danger
;
the
contrary
,
if
it
happen
on
a
critical
day
.
The
Jaundice
,
comming
upon
an
Inflammation
of
the
Liver
,
is
dangerous
,
because
the
Disease
commonly
ends
in
an
Imposthume
:
if
upon
a
Schirrus
,
it
is
no
lesse
dangerous
,
because
that
ends
in
the
Dropsy
.
If
it
come
from
an
Obstruction
of
the
Gall
,
it
is
most
easy
to
cure
,
because
the
Passage
is
neer
the
Guts
,
except
Stones
bred
in
the
Passages
be
the
Cause
,
which
,
by
reason
they
cannot
be
dissolved
,
are
counted
incurable
.
For
the
Cure
,
if
it
come
from
Distemper
of
the
Liver
,
have
recourse
to
the
aforegoing
Chapters
,
if
the
Jaundice
be
critical
it
needs
no
Cure
.
If
from
the
Obstruction
of
the
Gall
;
to
cure
it
,
take
away
the
the
Obstruction
,
which
may
be
done
,
by
the
Medicines
mentioned
in
the
Chapter
Of
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
.
Yet
least
I
should
seem
to
omit
any
thing
needfull
,
I
shall
apply
a
Medicine
or
two
proper
to
the
Disease
.
If
the
Body
be
plethorick
,
Phlebotomy
may
be
profitable
.
Afterwards
evacuate
the
Humours
with
Medicines
that
principally
purge
Choller
:
Take
of
the
Electuary
of
the
Juyce
of
Roses
,
and
the
Electuary
of
Prunes
solutive
,
of
each
three
Drachms
:
Rubarb
in
Powder
,
one
Drachm
:
Saffron
,
half
a
Scruple
:
with
Sugar
make
a
Bolus
,
give
it
once
or
twice
,
as
the
Patient
stands
in
need
thereof
.
Then
make
a
Decoction
thus
:
Take
the
Roots
of
Smallage
,
Nettles
,
and
Maddir
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
the
Leavs
of
Celandine
,
Cleavers
,
Fumitory
,
Wormwood
,
Century
,
and
the
Tops
of
Saint
John's
Wort
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
Cinnamon
,
and
the
Shavings
of
Ivory
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
the
white
Dung
of
an
Hen
,
and
the
Dung
of
a
Goose
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
,
tye
it
up
in
a
Ragg
,
and
with
it
a
Scruple
of
Saffron
:
make
a
Decoction
in
white
Wine
,
(
or
if
you
please
,
in
Fumitory
,
Wormwood-water
,
or
the
like
)
to
a
Quart:
Let
the
Patient
take
a
quarter
of
a
Pint
fasting
,
and
gently
exercise
himself
.
Of
these
,
and
Ingredients
of
the
like
Nature
may
any
form
of
Medicine
be
prepared
.
Whilst
inward
Medicines
are
administred
,
foment
or
anoint
the
Region
of
the
Liver
,
as
you
are
taught
in

Of
the
Dropsy
.
THere
are
three
kinds
of
Dropsyes
,
the
first
is
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
Ascites
,
the
second
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ

the
third

ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
Anasarca
or
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
Leucophlegmatia
.
Ascites
is
a
Swelling
of
the
Belly
,
caused
of
a
serous
Humour
,
and
salt
,
(
as
Water
it
is
cold
,
as
Salt
it
is
hot
,
infecting
the
Mouth
of
the
Stomach
,
hence
cometh
a
Feaver
and
Thirst
,
)
and
not
onely
the
Belly
,
but
sometimes
the
Cods
,
Thighs
,
Legs
,
and
Feet
:
and
sometimes
it
begins
in
the
Legs
and
Feet
and
ascends
upward
.
It
is
the
Opinion
of
most
Physitians
,
that
all
Dropsyes
have
their
originall
from
a
cold
Distemper
of
the
Liver
,
which
cannot
make
Blood
,
but
Water
,
Phlegm
,
and
Wind.
This
Opinion
is
undeniably
true
in
Anasarca
,
but
in
Ascites
and
Tympanites
it
is
questionable
,
although
sometimes
a
cold
Distemper
may
be
the
Cause
thereof
.
The
Experience
of
Modern
Physitians
hath
put
the
businesse
out
of
doubt
,
who
have
found
the
Liver
sound
in
dissected
Bodyes
,
who
died
of
the
Dropsy
.
And
if
the
Liver
should
breed
warry
Blood
;
what
reason
can
be
given
that
the
Water
should
be
sent
to
the
Cavity
of
the
Belly
onely
,
and
not
to
other
parts
,
and
breed
Anasarca
?
A
Dropsy
may
be
caused
by
a
hot
Distemper
of
the
Liver
caused
of
Feavers
,
much
Wine
,
or
hot
Meats
,
which
doth
disperse
the
native
Heat
,
by
which
means
,
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
and
Kidneys
become
lesse
active
,
and
not
able
to
draw
the
Water
,
nor
cast
it
forth
by
the
Ureters
:
the
like
may
be
said
of
a
cold
Distemper
.
Some
external
Cause
may
hinder
the
Attraction
and
Distribution
of
the
Water
,
as
,
namely
,
the
drinking
of
much
cold
Water
,
or
hot
Wine
,
or
any
thing
that
doth
diminish
or
disperse
the
native
Heat
.
The
Dropsy
Tympanites
,
hath
its
Name
from
Tympanum
a
Drum
,
because
the
Belly
soundeth
like
a
Drum
;
and
is
much
stretched
out
.
This
Stretching
hath
its
original
from
Wind
shut
up
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Abdomen
,
and
sometimes
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Guts
as
Platerus
observed
.
This
Wind
is
bred
by
crude
and
thick
,
phlegmatick
or
melancholy
Humours
,
which
being
stirred
by
Heat
,
and
made
thin
,
becometh
thick
and
flatuous
Vapours
,
which
are
hard
to
be
dissolved
.
Nor
doth
Wind
alone
cause
a
Dropsy
but
with
it
a
mixture
of
Water
,
so
that
if
Wind
be
predominant
,
it
is
called
a
Tympany
:
if
Water
,
Ascites
.
Anasarca
is
bred
of
a
phlegmatick
Humour
spread
throughout
the
whole
Body
,
and
maketh
every
part
to
swell
and
be
white
:
a
cold
Distemper
of
the
Liver
is
the
Cause
;
when
the
Liver
,
insteed
of
making
good
Blood
,
produceth
such
Humours
.
The
Cause
of
this
Disease
may
be
imputed
to
all
such
things
as
cool
the
Liver
too
much
,
and
hinder
its
Concoction
,
as
a
Diet
too
cold
and
moist
,
the
Stopping
of
the
Terms
or
Haemorrhoids
,
all
Obstructions
,
and
Tumors
in
the
Liver
,
much
bleeding
,
or
any
praeternatural
Evacuation
.
You
may
make
the
Diagnosticks
thus
;
In
Ascites
,
the
Belly
is
great
and
broad
,
presse
the
Sides
and
you
may
hear
the
Water
make
a
Noise
:
when
the
Patient
turneth
in
his
Bed
,
his
Belly
swayeth
to
that
side
:
the
Thighs
,
Legs
,
Feet
,
and
Cods
swell
,
but
the
upper
parts
decay
:
the
Urine
is
little
in
Quantity
,
thick
in
Substance
,
in
colour
,
red
:
In
the
encrease
of
the
Disease
,
the
Patient
breatheth
with
much
difficulty
,
by
reason
of
the
Abundance
of
Water
which
lyeth
upon
the
Diaphragma
,
especially
,
when
he
lyeth
down
;
therefore
the
Patient
(
for
the
most
part
)
is
forced
to
stand
or
sit
:
the
salt
Humour
swimming
in
the
Stomach
causeth
a
continuall
Thirst
,
and
a
lingring
Feaver
.
In
the
Tympany
the
Belly
soundeth
like
a
Drum
,
is
big
but
lesse
burthensome
;
when
the
Patient
lyeth
upon
his
Back
,
his
Belly
remaineth
hard
and
extended
,
nor
doth
it
sway
when
he
turneth
himself
:
the
beginning
of
this
Dropsy
(
for
the
most
part
)
is
accompanied
with
pain
about
the
Navel
and
Reins
.
In
Anasarca
,
not
onely
the
Belly
&
lower
parts
,
but
the
upper
parts
also
swell
;
if
you
thrust
the
Swelling
with
your
Finger
,
it
doth
pit
and
leave
an
Impression
:
the
Flesh
is
soft
and
loose
,
and
the
Skin
pale
and
earthy
:
they
have
a
lingring
Feaver
,
breathing
difficultly
,
and
the
Urine
is
thin
and
white
.
To
the
Prognostick
,
I
say
;
Every
Dropsy
is
hard
to
be
cured
,
the
older
the
Parient
is
,
and
the
longer
the
Disease
hath
continued
,
the
more
perillous
.
Anasarca
is
least
dangerous
:
Ascites
and
the
Tympany
are
sometimes
one
more
dangerous
then
another
,
according
to
their
Causes
:
for
Ascites
comming
from
a
Tumor
or
Ulcer
of
the
Liver
or
any
of
the
internall
parts
,
it
is
more
dangerous
then
a
Tympany
,
et
รจ
contra
.
If
a
Dropsy
come
upon
an
acute
Disease
,
it
is
evill
.
If
the
Liver
,
being
full
of
Water
,
discharge
it self
into
the
Omentum
,
the
Disease
ends
in
Death
.
If
in
the
beginning
a
Dropsy
,
(
the
Patient
being
strong
,
and
free
from
Tumor
or
Ulcer
in
the
Liver
or
any
internal
part
,
)
the
Water
floweth
into
the
Belly
and
causeth
a
Flux
,
the
Patient
is
cured
;
if
the
contrary
happen
,
expect
a
contrary
effect
.
This
I
gather
from
the
words
of
Hippocrates
;
In
the
beginning
of
a
Dropsy
,
if
there
come
a
Flux
of
the
Belly
,
without
want
of
Concoction
,
or
crudity
it
is
prevented
,
the
lesse
Urine
is
voided
the
worse
,
because
the
drink
runs
not
to
the
Reins
,
but
to
the
Belly
.
It
is
a
very
hopefull
signe
,
when
the
Patient
voideth
more
Urine
then
he
drinketh
,
and
the
belly
grow
lesse
.
Impostumes
or
spots
in
the
Legs
of
Hydropicall
men
,
are
for
the
most
part
forerunners
of
death
.
If
a
man
who
hath
been
cured
of
the
Dropsie
fall
into
the
same
againe
,
it
is
very
dangerous
;
If
a
melancholly
body
have
a
Tympany
,
he
seldome
escapes
;
especially
if
he
pisse
by
drops
.
If
the
Hydropicall
person
eate
his
meat
and
digest
it
well
,
and
be
not
sick
after
,
have
no
cough
nor
pain
,
his
tongue
not
rough
nor
thirsty
:
if
he
be
in
a
naturall
order
without
physick
,
and
medicines
work
easily
with
him
;
if
he
be
not
faint
,
and
his
Urine
change
according
to
his
Diet
,
he
may
easily
be
cured
.
For
the
cure
,
you
must
consider
if
the
disease
hath
its
originall
from
obstructions
,
Tumors
,
&c
:
And
seek
the
beginning
of
your
cure
out
of
their
proper
Chapters
.
Afterwards
you
must
labour
to
evacuate
the
matter
,
whether
it
be
in
the
Abdomen
or
whole
body
,
first
make
an
Apozem
thus
:
Take
of
the
roots
of
Parsly
,
Smallage
,
Fennell
,
Elicampane
,
Bruscus
,
Danewort
,
and
Madder
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
The
Leaves
of
Agrimony
,
Wormwood
,
Maidenhaire
,
the
tops
of
St.
Johns
wort
,
and
Century
,
of
each
one
handfull
:
the
inward
bark
of
the
roots
of
Capers
,
Ash
and
Tamarisk
,
of
each
four
drachms
:
Liquorish
,
one
ounce
:
the
seeds
of
Fennell
,
Parsly
and
Juniper
berryes
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
the
flowers
of
Broom
,
Beans
and
Elder
,
of
each
,
one
pugill
:
Julep
roots
,
two
drachms
:
boile
them
in
a
sufficient
quantity
of
water
,
wherein
steel
hath
been
quenched
,
to
a
pint
and
an
half
:
strain
it
,
and
add
to
the
Liquor
,
one
ounce
of
Senna
,
cover
it
and
let
it
infuse
six
houres
,
strain
it
and
dissolve
therein
of
the
syrup
of
Harts-tongue
one
ounce
:
and
the
syrup
of
Succory
,
with
Rubarb
three
ounces
:
Clarifie
it
with
the
whites
of
Eggs
,
and
aromatize
it
with
two
drachms
of
Cinnamon
,
or
yellow
Sanders
;
give
it
four
mornings
.
Afterwards
once
a
week
give
this
pouder
;
Take
of
Senna
,
Jallap
,
Mechoacah
,
Turbith
,
Gum
,
and
Hermodacts
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
Cream
of
Tartar
,
and
Salt
of
Wormwood
,
of
each
two
drachms
:
Cambugia
half
a
drachm
:
Diamher
,
Diarrhodon
abbatis
,
and
Fennell
seeds
,
of
each
two
scruples
:
make
a
fine
ponder
,
and
infuse
one
drachm
in
a
quarter
of
a
point
of
White-wine
all
night
,
and
let
the
Patient
take
it
in
the
morning
.
Of
these
and
such
like
may
be
prepared
medicines
of
all
formes
.
Some
commend
the
juyce
of
flowerdeluce
roots
,
taken
with
hony
or
manna
,
the
dose
is
three
ounces
,
and
Platerus
in
his
Observations
doth
highly
extoll
it
.
Chimists
do
much
commend
the
extract
of
black
Hellebore
,
Mercurius
vitae
and
Diaphoreticus
,
Mercurius
dulcis
,
antimonium
Diaphoreticum
,
and
such
like
:
but
let
the
physitian
beware
how
he
gives
medicines
of
this
nature
,
except
his
Patient
be
strong
;
the
like
caution
let
him
observe
in
giving
of
purging
medicines
,
especially
such
as
purge
with
violence
.
But
rather
let
him
(
if
his
Patient
be
weake
)
give
discussive
and
Diuretick
Clisters
,
thus
.
Take
of
Mallows
,
Marsh-Mallows
,
Chamomell
,
pellitory
of
the
wall
,
and
Mercury
,
of
each
one
handfull
:
the
seeds
of
Annis
,
Sweet
Fennell
,
Caraway
,
Dill
,
and
Bay-berryes
,
of
each
two
drachms
:
the
flowers
of
Broom
and
Melilot
,
of
each
one
pugil
:
boyle
them
in
Posset
drink
or
Mutton
broath
to
a
pint
,
dissolve
in
the
strained
liquor
,
of
Oyle
,
of
Camomell
,
Dill
and
Rue
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
Diacatholicon
(
or
Diaphaenicon
)
of
each
one
ounce
:
(
and
if
you
see
good
,
add
half
an
ounce
of
Benedicta
Laxativa
)
and
make
a
Clister
:
you
must
principally
give
such
medicines
which
purge
by
Urine
:
the
steeled-wine
prescribed
in
the
55.
chap.
is
very
good
;
in
the
preparing
of
it
,
you
may
add
(
if
you
see
occasion
)
any
of
the
aforementioned
ingredients
,
which
provoke
Urine
.
The
Spirit
of
Vitrioll
,
Tartar
and
Salt
is
much
commended
,
if
it
be
administred
in
some
Diuretick
decoction
.
The
salt
of
Wormword
and
Juniper
profiteth
much
.
Or
you
may
make
a
Lee
of
the
Ashes
of
Juniper
and
White-Wine
,
giving
five
or
six
ounces
thereof
,
which
Lee
alone
hath
cured
some
Dropsies
saith
Mathiolus
;
the
same
I
have
known
my self
.
Bleeding
is
prohibited
,
and
upon
good
grounds
too
,
unlesse
the
disease
come
from
stoppage
of
the
Termes
or
Hemorrhoids
,
bleed
not
then
,
unlesse
it
be
in
the
beginning
of
the
disease
,
and
the
Liver
in
its
naturall
condition
.
Issues
,
Blisters
,
and
Scarifications
are
likewise
forbidden
,
because
they
gangren
for
the
most
part
:
yet
in
the
beginning
of
a
Dropsie
,
the
lower
parts
being
exceedingly
swelled
,
I
made
an
Issue
in
the
Leg
,
out
of
which
an
incredible
quantity
of
water
issued
,
and
the
Patient
perfectly
cured
.
Among
Evacuations
,
Sweatings
are
not
the
least
profitable
,
especially
in
Anasarca
;
but
in
Ascites
and
Tympanites
the
Liver
being
dry
,
besides
the
difficulty
of
procuring
it
,
it
rather
hurteth
then
profiteth
.
All
the
time
of
the
cure
forget
not
to
strengthen
the
Liver
,
that
you
may
hinder
the
encrease
of
water
,
as
well
as
purge
it
;
have
recourse
to
the
55
,
Chapter
of
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
.
Hollerius
commendeth
this
opiate
:
Take
of
Currance
cleansed
,
half
a
pound
:
boyle
them
in
Sack
till
they
be
as
thick
as
a
pultis
,
heat
and
strain
them
,
then
add
of
the
Conserve
of
Rosemary
flowers
,
Citron
peels
Candied
,
and
Cinnamon
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
the
pouder
Aromaticum
Rosatum
Diamargariton
,
Calidum
,
and
Diacinamon
,
of
each
two
scruples
:
Lignum
Aloes
,
half
a
drachm
:
Saffron
half
a
scruple
,
mix
them
and
make
a
soft
Electuary
.
Then
make
a
fomentation
for
the
belly
with
these
,
or
hearbs
of
the
like
nature
:
Agrimony
Danewort
,
Chamomell
,
Calamint
,
Elder
,
Mallows
,
&
Marsh-Mallowes
,
Marjerom
,
Melilot
,
Broom
,
Penny-royall
,
Rue
,
Snakweed
,
Southern
wood
,
Tamarisk
,
Wormwood
,
and
the
like
,
the
seeds
of
Parsly
,
Dill
,
Cummin
,
Fennell
,
Bay
,
and
Juniper
berryes
:
foment
the
belly
with
spunges
dipt
in
the
decoction
of
these
,
or
lay
the
hearbs
themselves
in
a
bag
hot
to
the
belly
:
Afterwards
,
anoynt
the
belly
with
the
oyle
of
Dill
,
Chamomell
,
Rue
,
Flowerdeluce
,
and
the
like
.
Or
you
may
make
Unguents
,
Cataplasms
,
or
Emplasters
.
This
harmlesse
Cataplasm
I
have
found
profit
much
:
Take
of
Wormwood
,
Chamomell
,
Mayweed
and
Danewort
of
each
two
handfulls
,
bruise
them
in
a
stone
morter
,
then
boyle
them
in
Vinegar
and
Hony
,
then
with
Bean
and
Barly
meale
,
and
Cow-dung
dryed
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
make
a
Cataplasm
.
Galen
commendeth
a
Cataplasm
of
Snailes
,
bruised
with
their
shells
,
and
layd
upon
the
Navell
,
and
there
keep
it
till
it
falls
off
of
its
own
accord
.
Radishes
bruised
and
laid
to
the
Belly
and
Reynes
,
worketh
by
stoole
and
Urine
.
To
conclude
,
If
the
body
be
strong
,
you
may
use
strong
purgers
in
your
Cataplasms
,
but
if
the
body
be
weak
forbeare
.
In
Anasarca
you
may
often
and
strongly
purge
watry
,
and
flegmatick
humors
:
In
Ascites
and
Tympanites
more
seldome
and
gentle
.
In
Ascites
,
order
your
internall
and
externall
medicines
principally
to
purge
water
:
in
Tympanites
let
them
be
Carminative
and
discussive
.
In
every
of
them
have
a
speciall
respect
to
the
Liver
;
and
if
it
be
too
hot
(
as
it
somtimes
happeneth
)
give
cold
things
mixed
with
warm
openers
;
Let
their
meat
be
of
the
dryest
,
and
let
them
shun
sweet-meats
as
a
Plague
.
For
drink
let
them
abstaine
from
it
as
much
as
can
be
,
and
drink
none
but
what
is
made
with
Wormwood
,
Tamarisk
,
Elecampane
,
Juniper
,
&c
:
or
let
them
only
hold
it
in
the
mouth
to
coole
and
asswage
their
thirst
,
let
them
chew
Mastick
,
for
it
draweth
water
from
the
Stomack
.
CHAP.
LVIII
.
Of
the
Obstruction
,
Inflammation
,
and
Tumor
of
the
Spleen
.
THe
Spleen
is
subject
to
Obstruction
as
well
as
the
Lโver
,
or
rather
more
;
because
it
draweth
cruder
blood
:
when
thick
humors
stick
in
the
substance
of
the
Spleen
,
it
maketh
an
inflammation
and
Tumor
.
If
the
humors
grow
thick
and
hard
,
it
breeds
a
Scirrhus
.
If
the
Tumor
be
phlegmatick
,
it
is
called
Oedma
,
which
chanceth
to
them
,
who
live
upon
cold
and
moyst
food
,
or
live
in
a
moyst
ayre
.
But
if
it
be
soft
;
loose
&
puffed
up
,
it
is
called
an
inflammation
or
puffing
of
the
Spleen
,
The
causes
of
the
Obstruction
,
Inflammation
,
&
tumour
of
the
Spleen
,
are
the
same
with
them
of
the
Liver
:
Sometimes
the
affect
seizeth
on
both
together
.
They
are
distinguished
by
their
Signes
:
the
Obstruction
of
the
Spleen
is
distinguished
from
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
,
by
the
scituation
of
the
part
.
If
the
Spleen
be
obstructed
,
there
is
heavinesse
and
pain
in
the
left
Hypochondrion
,
especially
after
running
,
riding
,
or
any
more
than
ordinary
exercise
;
if
you
handle
the
hypochondrion
there
is
resistance
,
the
face
is
blewish
,
and
Signes
of
melancholly
appeare
,
the
disease
is
of
long
continuance
,
and
if
it
be
not
speedily
cured
,
it
turnes
to
a
Scirrhus
.
The
cure
is
performed
the
same
way
,
as
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
is
;
only
you
must
add
things
,
which
particularly
respect
the
Spleen
,
and
purge
the
Melancholly
humor
.
The
inflammation
of
the
Spleen
likewise
hath
the
same
conjunct
and
antecedent
cause
,
only
it
is
especially
caused
by
Melancholly
Blood
.
The
Diagnostick
Signes
are
different
,
viz:
the
Patient
hath
swelling
,
pain
,
heavinesse
,
and
beating
on
the
left
side
under
the
ribs
,
thirst
,
blacknesse
of
the
tongue
,
loathing
of
meat
,
a
constant
fever
,
troublesome
lying
on
either
side
,
especially
the
right
,
somtimes
the
Tumor
is
in
the
shape
of
the
Spleen
:
Somtimes
fills
the
left
Hypochondrion
,
and
if
the
adjacent
parts
be
inflamed
also
,
it
extendeth
below
the
Navell
.
If
only
Melancholly
blood
cause
the
inflammation
,
the
Tumor
is
harder
,
the
colour
black
,
and
many
times
the
Urine
:
If
choler
be
mixed
with
melancholly
blood
,
the
thirst
is
greater
,
the
Fever
stronger
,
and
worse
every
third
day
;
the
mouth
bitter
,
and
the
Urine
red
:
great
want
of
sleep
and
doting
.
If
phlegme
be
mixed
,
the
former
symptomes
are
lessened
.
The
Prognostick
is
the
same
with
the
inflammation
of
the
Liver
,
only
it
is
lesse
dangerous
,
for
as
much
as
the
Liver
is
the
nobler
part
โช
If
it
endeth
not
in
Death
,
it
endeth
by
some
criticall
Evacuation
,
as
by
Stoole
,
Urine
or
Bleeding
at
the
left
Nostrill
,
or
else
it
grows
hard
,
and
turnes
to
a
Schirrhus
.
Which
may
be
known
by
the
causes
and
signes
laid
down
in
the
Chapter
of
the
Schirrhus
,
of
the
Liver
;
only
it
appeareth
on
the
contrary
side
.
The
cure
of
this
and
the
former
may
be
performed
by
the
medicines
,
laid
down
in
the
Chapters
of
the
inflammation
,
obstruction
,
and
Schirrhus
of
the
Liver
,
only
make
use
of
some
things
that
especially
respect
the
Spleen
,
and
purge
melancholly
,
as
I
hinted
before
.
Somtimes
the
Spleen
is
much
pained
by
wind
,
which
stretcheth
the
Spleen
and
its
membranes
,
but
is
without
fever
or
hardnesse
.
It
is
easily
distinguished
from
the
former
griefs
,
but
hardly
from
the
Chollick
,
by
reason
of
the
neernesse
of
the
Gut
Colon
:
but
you
may
distinguish
them
thus
:
the
pain
of
the
Spleen
is
weighty
and
in
one
place
:
but
of
the
Chollick
is
stretching
,
sharp
,
moveable
,
and
runs
over
the
whole
Belly
.
The
Cure
must
be
wrought
by
Medicines
carminative
,
emollient
,
and
discussive
,
given
internally
,
or
Clisters
of
the
same
Nature
,
with
Fomentations
and
Liniments
,
made
of
the
Oyls
of
Wormwood
,
Lillyes
,
Camomell
,
Capers
,
and
such
like
,
adding
a
little
of
the
Oyl
of
Spike
:
and
,
if
the
pain
cease
not
,
some
commend
the
Application
of
a
Cupping-Glasse
;
but
be
well
advised
first
,
whether
there
be
no
Defluxion
or
Inflammation
.

THis

whence
noisome
Vapours
ascend
to
the
Brain
,
Heart
,
and
Midriff
,
which
cause
divers
Symptoms
,
which
I
shall
mention
hereafter
.
The
antecedent
Causes
are
,
all
Meats
of
evill
Juyce
,
and
of
hard
Digestion
;
long
continued
Passions
and
Sadnesse
,
because
they
disperse
the
Spirits
,
and
hinder
Concoction
,
and
cause
Credityes
,
which
being
burnt
by
Heat
,
turn
to
Melancholy
.
Much
Study
,
Watching
,
and
want
of
Excercise
may
be
the
Cause
by
reason
of
much
Retention
of
Excrements
;
hence
it
is
,
that
learned
men
,
and
such
who
sit
much
,
are
troubled
with
this
Disease
.
The
Stoppage
of
the
Terms
or
Haemorrhoids
may
be
the
Cause
.
The
Diagnostick
Signs
of
this
Disease
are
many
,
according
to
the
parts
affected
:
Sometimes
the
Patient
spitteth
or
vomiteth
much
,
because
the
Stomach
concocteth
ill
,
and
turneth
the
Nourishment
into
watry
,
sharp
,
sowr
,
or
clammy
Substance
,
which
not
being
drawn
away
by
the
Guts
,
ly
in
the
Stomach
,
and
sometimes
discharge
themselves
as
aforesaid
.
Sometimes
the
boiling
of
these
Humours
in
the
Stomach
causeth
flaruous
Vapours
,
which
stretch
the
Stomach
and
afflict
the
Heart
,
and
cause
Swooning
:
These
Vapours
cause
a
Noise
beneath
the
Ribs
,
hence
it
hath
been
called
the
windy
Disease
.
Sometimes
the
Wind
reacheth
to
the
Kidneys
,
and
causeth
great
Pain
there
,
which
maketh
the
Patient
think
he
hath
the
Stone
.
He
is
often
costive
,
because
the
clammy
Humours
(
bred
by
evill
Concoction
)
stick
to
the
Guts
:
sometimes
the
Sharpnesse
of
the
Humours
causeth
the
Belly
to
be
soluble
.
There
is
great
Heat
in
the
Hypocondria
,
so
that
the
Face
will
grow
red
and
hot
from
those
Vapours
.
Sometimes
the
Urine
is
thin
,
because
thick
and
tartarous
Humours
stop
the
Passages
:
sometimes
thick
,
red
,
and
troubled
,
and
hath
a
thick
tartarous
Sediment
,
and
sometimes
stick
to
the
bottom
of
the
Urin
all
like
Sand
,
which
causeth
a
Suspition
of
the
Stone
,
but
this
dissolves
between
the
Fingers
like
Salt
,
and
that
which
is
bred
in
the
Reins
is
hard
.
The
Vapours
ascending
produce
many
Symptomes
,
as
,
Palpitation
of
the
Heart
,
a
distempered
Pulse
;
if
they
ascend
to
the
Tongue
and
Pallat
,
it
causeth
great
Thirst
:
if
to
the
Lungs
,
difficulty
of
the
Breathing
:
if
to
the
Membranes
of
the
Brain
,
Head
ach
:
if
to
the
Brain
it
self
,
Dimnesse
of
sight
,
Noise
in
the
Ears
,
Giddinesse
,
Fear
,
and
melancholy
Phantasies
;
if
they
be
very
sharp
,
they
sometimes
cause
the
Falling-Sicknesse
,
and
if
they
settle
in
the
Nervs
,
Convulsion
:
if
they
be
stupifying
,
they
cause
Numbnesse
,
the
Palsy
,
Apoplexy
,
&c
:
If
the
Vapours
be
hot
and
dry
,
they
dry
the
Brain
,
and
cause
Watchings
,
troublesom
Sleep
,
and
frightfull
Dreams
.
Note
that
all
these
Symptoms
are
not
to
be
expected
in
one
and
the
same
Patient
,
but
more
or
fewer
according
to
the
variety
of
the
peccant
Humours
.
Prognosticks
are
:
A
continual
Pain
and
Giddinesse
of
the
Head
in
a
Hypocondry
,
doth
threaten
an
Epilepsy
,
Apoplexy
,
or
Blindnesse
,
and
the
like
.
Thick
Urine
is
better
then
thin
,
for
thin
Urine
is
a
Sign
that
thick
Humours
are
detained
in
the
Body
.
Vomiting
,
Flux
of
the
Belly
,
or
Haemorrhoids
,
if
it
be
moderate
,
and
continue
not
long
,
is
a
hopefull
Sign
,
judge
the
contrary
if
it
continue
long
.
For
the
most
part
,
this
Disease
is
of
long
continuance
,
and
seldom
cured
,
therefore
it
hath
been
called
the
Scourge
and
Disgrace
of
Physitians
.
The
Cure
of
this
Disease
consisteth
in
four
things
,
First
,
in
opening
Obstructions
:
Secondly
,
in
amending
the
Distempers
of
the
Bowells
:
Thirdly
,
in
evacuating
the
peccant
Humours
:
and
,
Lastly
,
in
strengthning
the
affected
and
vitall
parts
.
But
,
to
forbear
Tediousnesse
,
and
to
avoid
needlesse
Reperitions
,
I
refer
you
to
the
Chapters
aforegoing
,
especially
,
Of
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
.
Take
this
general
Rule
,
keep
the
Body
alwayes
soluble
,
by
Medicines
which
the
Parient
may
use
before
Meat
,
changing
them
often
;
as
often
as
need
shall
require
let
the
Patient
be
purged
,
let
him
make
use
of
Broths
,
Decoctions
,
and
Drinks
that
have
a
Faculty
to
open
Obstructions
;
as
the
Juyce
of
Wormwood
,
or
Wormwood-Wine
,
adding
thereto
Tamarisk
,
Agrimony
,
Borrage
,
and
Buglosse
,
Burnet
,
Sanders
,
Rosemary
Flowers
,
and
the
like
.
Montanus
much
commendeth
Venice
Turpentine
;
because
it
looseneth
the
Belly
,
cleanseth
and
warmeth
the
Stomach
:
provoketh
Urine
:
openeth
the
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
,
cleanseth
,
and
doth
not
heat
it
.
Steel-Wine
,
and
other
Medicines
made
of
Steel
,
which
you
may
find
in
the
Chapter
Of
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
,
powerfully
openeth
Obstructions
,
especially
the
Extract
of
Steel
,
in
the
Administration
of
which
,
I
have
found
more
then
ordinary
Successe
:
but
let
Medicines
of
this
Nature
be
administred
by
a
skilfull
and
carefull
Physitian
.
The
Decoction
or
Infusion
of
Lignum
Nephriticum
doth
open
Obstructions
safely
and
pleasantly
.
And
some
do
much
commend
the
Decoction
of
the
Root
of
sweet
Bryar
for
the
Patient
's
ordinary
drink
.
Whilst
you
use
internall
Medicines
,
Externalls
are
not
to
be
neglected
,
viz.
Fomentations
,
Oyntments
,
&c.
such
as
are
prescribed
for
the
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
;
choose
the
coolest
of
them
and
apply
them
to
the
Hypocondria
.
And
,
because
in
this
Disease
the
Stomach
alwayes
suffereth
,
seek
the
Remedy
in
its
proper
place
.
Or
if
the
Vapours
ascending
from
the
Hypochondria
,
trouble
the
Heart
or
Brain
,
and
cause
Swooning
,
Palpitation
,
Trembling
,
Convulsions
,
Head-ach
,
or
the
like
,
have
recourse
to
the
Chapters
preceding
,
which
treat
of
those
Diseases
.
CHAP.
LXI
.
Of
the
Scurvy
.
THe
Scurvy
is
nothing
else
but
an
Hypocondriack
Disease
,
but
having
a
peculiar
degree
of
Malignity
,
arising
from
the
Putrefaction
of
Melancholy
,
it
hath
more
Symptomes
then
in
the
Hypocondriack
Disease
.
Diag
:
All
the
Symptoms
mentioned
in
the
foregoing
Chapter
,
are
common
to
the
Scurvy
.
Peculiar
Symptoms
are
these
,
Rednesse
,
Itching
,
Putrefaction
,
Bleeding
and
Stinking
of
the
Gums
,
Mouth
,
and
Teeth
,
which
are
also
(
sometimes
)
black
and
loose
.
Spots
in
the
Legs
,
first
red
,
afterwards
purple
,
black
or
blew
.
Straitnesse
of
the
Breast
and
Shortnesse
of
Breath
,
occasioned
by
thick
Vapours
,
arising
from
the
Hypocondria
to
the
Midriff
,
or
to
the
Sweet-Bread
,
causing
a
Swelling
or
Tumor
,
and
consequently
compressing
the
Diaphragma
.
The
Body
is
heavy
and
lazy
,
especially
the
Legs
,
and
grievous
pain
there
and
in
other
parts
,
as
in
the
Toes
,
Fingers
,
Soals
of
the
Feet
,
Ancles
,
Thighs
,
Belly
,
Arms
,
Shoulders
,
and
the
like
.
The
Urine
is
various
,
as
in
the
Hypocondriack
Melancholy
.
The
Pulse
is
weak
and
unequall
.
Some
have
the
head-Ach
,
and
a
seavourish
Heat
in
the
Night
,
which
vanisheth
by
a
Morning
Sweat
.
Some
have
tho
Tooth-Ach
without
manifest
Cause
.
Sometimes
the
Vapours
ascending
(
being
astringent
)
contract
the
Gullet
,
and
the
Patient
feareth
strangling
.
A
stinking
Breath
is
common
to
Scorbutick
persons
.
Tumors
in
divers
parts
,
sometimes
hard
,
sometimes
soft
like
Bladders
,
and
sometimes
like
the
stinging
of
Nettles
.
And
lastly
,
an
Atrophy
,
Consumption
and
generall
decay
of
the
whole
Body
.
That
I
may
more
perfectly
discover
the
Symptoms
of
this
Disease
,
I
shall
here
lay
down
some
other
,
which
are
common
to
other
Diseases
,
and
shew
you
how
to
distinguish
them
.
Sometimes
the
Scurvy
causeth
pains
in
the
Joynts
,
which
must
be
distinguished
from
the
pains
caused
by
the
French
Pox
thus
:
In
the
French
Pox
,
the
pains
are
between
the
Joynts
,
and
by
long
continuance
cause
Knots
there
:
the
Symptoms
of
the
Pox
appear
,
as
Running
of
the
Reins
,
Bubo
,
&c.
or
the
Patient
hath
acted
with
some
unclean
woman
.
But
in
the
Scurvy
,
some
of
the
preceding
Symptoms
appear
,
or
at
least
the
Patient
is
of
a
melancholy
Constitution
.
This
must
be
distinguished
also
from
the
Arthritis
or
Joynt-Gout
,
which
is
fixed
,
or
at
least
seldome
changeth
the
place
;
but
in
the
Scurvy
it
is
very
moveable
,
running
from
one
Joynt
to
another
,
and
sometimes
for
a
while
vanisheth
.
In
the
same
manner
is
the
bastard-Palsy
(
which
the
Scurvy
causeth
)
distinguished
from
a
true
one
,
which
is
constant
;
but
in
the
Scorbaticall
Palsy
,
he
that
one
day
could
not
walke
or
stand
at
all
,
can
the
next
day
walk
with
little
or
no
help
.
Sometimes
it
causeth
a
Flux
of
the
Belly
like
a
Diarrhoea
,
but
differeth
from
it
in
this
,
that
the
Excrements
are
thicker
then
in
the
former
,
and
in
greater
Quantity
,
exceeding
the
Quantity
of
the
Meat
taken
.
Sometimes
the
Excrements
are
mixed
with
Blood
,
but
differeth
from
the
Dysentery
,
because
there
is
no
pain
of
the
Belly
,
and
the
Blood
is
thick
,
sent
thither
by
the
Meseraick
Veins
.
Sometimes
the
Scorbatick
pains
are
in
the
sides
imitating
the
Pleurisy
,
but
is
much
different
;
because
the
Feaver
(
if
any
)
is
weaker
;
there
is
no
difficulty
of
Breathing
,
no
Cough
,
Spitting
,
nor
constant
pain
.
Lastly
,
you
must
distinguish
these
pains
from
the
pains
of
the
Stone
:
for
the
Urine
is
sometimes
red
,
like
Blood
,
as
if
the
Kidneys
were
wounded
by
the
Stone
,
and
sometimes
black
,
both
which
come
from
a
scurvy
salt
Matter
in
the
Spleen
,
or
Parts
adjacent
.
Prog
:
This
Disease
is
very
hard
to
be
cured
,
because
the
Melancholy
Humour
is
so
farr
predominant
.
Many
times
it
is
very
dangerous
,
because
it
bringeth
the
Dropsy
,
Consumption
,
&c.
And
sometimes
acute
Diseases
,
as
the
Apoplexy
,
Swoonings
,
and
the
like
,
which
produce
sudden
deaths
.
In
the
Cure
of
the
Scurvy
,
you
must
follow
the
Method
prescribed
in
the
Cure
of
Obstruction
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
beginning
with
the
weakest
first
;
with
which
,
you
must
make
use
of
specificall
Medicines
for
the
Scurvy
;
of
which
,
the
chief
are
,
Dutch
and
Sea
Scurvy-grasse
,
Water
Cresses
,
Brook-Lime
,
Horse-Radishes
,
Fumitory
,
Wormwood
,
Celandine
the
lesse
,
&c.
Those
which
are
of
lesse
Efficacy
,
and
have
a
Faculty
to
correct
and
prepare
the
melancholy
Humour
,
are
these
which
follow
,
Agrimony
,
Asarum
,
Bettony
,
Borrage
,
Buglosse
,
Carduus
,
Ceterach
,
Elicampane
,
Germander
,
Hyssop
,
Maidenhair
of
all
sorts
,
Polypody
of
the
Oak
;
the
Bark
of
Ash
,
Capers
,
and
Tamarisk
;
the
Flowers
of
Elder
,
Dodder
of
Time
,
and
Tamarisk
.
Observe
this
general
Rule
,
if
the
Patient
be
feavourish
or
subject
to
heats
,
you
must
give
the
hottest
of
them
in
a
smaller
Quantity
;
and
add
Endive
,
Sorrel
,
Succory
;
the
Juyce
of
Citrons
,
Lemmons
,
and
Orenges
:
and
the
Spirit
of
Sulphur
and
Vitriol
.
Of
these
and
such
like
,
may
several
sorts
of
Medicines
be
formed
,
which
(
for
Brevity
sake
)
I
omit
.
CHAP.
LXII
.
Of
the
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
.
THe
material
Cause
of
the
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
,
is
a
phlegmatick
,
feculent
,
thick
,
slimy
,
and
tartarous
Humour
in
the
Urine
:
the
efficient
Cause
is
Heat
,
which
drieth
and
hardneth
the
Matter
,
and
at
length
turneth
it
into
a
Stone
;
this
is
the
Opinion
of
Hippocrates
and
Galen
,
and
most
modern
Physitians
.
The
Hermetick
Physitians
have
found
a
certain
Juyce
,
which
they
call
Succus
Lapidiscens
,
which
is
a
certain
Humour
,
naturally
proper
to
turn
to
a
Stone
,
and
this
they
say
is
the
material
Cause
of
the
Stone
:
and
the
efficient
Cause
to
be
Spiritus
Lapidiscens
,
a
stone-making
Spirit
.
So
that
if
a
man
eat
or
drink
any
thing
wherein
the
Stony
Juyce
is
,
that
Juyce
is
turned
into
a
Stone
,
if
the
Reins
have
a
Stone-making
Spirit
.
But
if
the
Reins
be
free
from
this
Spirit
,
a
Stone
is
not
bred
,
unlesse
the
stony-Juyce
be
very
predominate
:
on
the
contrary
,
if
the
Reins
have
this
stony
Faculty
,
and
the
Food
be
free
from
this
Juyce
,
the
Stone
is
scarcely
engendered
,
unlesse
the
stone-making
Faculty
be
very
predominate
.
Many
Historyes
shew
that
Stones
come
from
a
stone-making
spirit
,
or
Breath
out
of
the
Earth
,
which
hath
turned
the
Bodyes
of
Men
,
Beasts
,
and
other
things
into
Stone
:
Riverius
upon
this
Subject
(
in
his
last
Edition
)
quoteth
Aventius
Annal.
Bavar
.
lib.
7
An.
1343
,
who
saith
,
that
above
fifty
men
,
with
many
Cows
,
were
turned
into
Stone
.
Ortellius
tells
the
same
story
of
whole
heards
in
Russia
.
And
Camerarius
reporteth
,
that
in
the
Province
of
Chilo
in
Armenia
,
at
the
blast
of
a
South
Wind
(
which
happeneth
four
times
in
a
year
)
whole
Troops
of
horse
have
been
turned
into
Statues
of
stone
,
standing
in
the
warlick
posture
in
which
they
were
before
.
The
Antecedent
Causes
are
many
,
The
Stomach
being
not
able
to
concoct
well
,
sendeth
a
crude
Chyle
to
the
Liver
;
A
hot
Liver
doth
bake
the
chylous
Matter
;
or
a
cold
Liver
maketh
crude
Blood
:
the
Spleen
weak
or
obstructed
,
doth
not
sufficiently
purge
the
drossy
Blood
;
these
do
cause
even
the
Blood
,
or
crude
Juyces
fit
to
make
a
Stone
.
Likewise
the
Reins
,
besides
their
conjunct
Cause
,
may
be
an
Antecedent
Cause
in
two
respects
,
viz.
their
Temper
and
Form
:
First
,
their
Temper
being
hot
doth
violently
draw
the
crude
Matter
and
thicken
it
.
In
respect
of
their
Form
,
the
emulgent
Veins
may
be
loose
,
and
fit
to
receive
the
tartarous
Matter
into
the
Reins
;
and
the
Ureters
so
narrow
that
the
thick
Matter
hath
not
passage
from
the
Kidneys
.
Lastly
,
all
Food
that
produceth
crude
,
thick
,
and
slimy
Nourishment
,
doth
afford
Matter
for
the
Stone
,
as
Flesh
or
Fish
that
is
very
salt
or
dryed
in
the
smoak
,
Pulse
,
Cheese
,
and
all
Milk-Meats
,
hard
Eggs
,
Chesnuts
,
Pears
,
Quinces
,
Medlars
,
Rice
,
Wine
thick
and
not
well
purged
,
standing
Waters
;
all
things
which
make
the
Liver
and
Reins
too
hot
;
as
old
strong
Wine
,
Garlick
,
Onions
,
Pepper
,
and
Ginger
;
too
strong
Diureticks
,
which
carry
crude
Matter
too
violently
to
the
Reins
:
violent
Excercise
after
Meat
,
inordinate
Lechery
;
too
much
Fulnesse
or
Emptinesse
,
and
the
like
.
The
Signs
of
the
Stone
of
the
Kidneys
are
many
โช
viz.
a
constant
pain
about
the
Loyns
;
whilst
it
is
in
the
hollow
of
the
Kidneys
,
the
pain
is
heavy
,
when
it
gets
into
the
head
of
the
Ureters
,
sharp
and
pricking
,
and
so
continueth
,
unlesse
it
get
back
again
,
or
fall
into
the
Cavity
of
the
Bladder
.
The
Urine
is
sometimes
bloody
by
reason
of
the
opening
,
Corrosion
of
the
Veins
,
or
cutting
of
the
tender
Flesh
of
the
Kidneys
;
sometimes
it
is
thin
and
little
in
Quantity
.
Voiding
of
Sand
and
Stones
is
an
evident
sign
of
the
Stone
,
but
if
the
Patient
voideth
Gravell
without
stones
,
be
not
too
hasty
in
your
Judgment
,
but
take
the
Caution
given
you
in
the
60
Chapter
Of
the
Hypocondriack
Melancholy
.
The
Thigh
,
on
the
same
side
the
Back
is
pained
,
becometh
numb
;
because
the
Stone
doth
oppresse
the
Nerve
,
which
is
in
the
Muscles
of
the
Loyns
under
the
Reins
,
and
goeth
to
the
Hip
for
its
Motion
.
The
Sick
loatheth
,
and
vomiteth
often
,
by
reason
of
the
Connexion
of
the
Kidneys
with
the
Stomach
;
the
Stomach
(
sympathetically
sensible
)
endeavoureth
to
exclude
that
hurtful
companion
.
Be
sure
you
make
a
distinction
between
the
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
,
and
the
Chollick
;
have
recourse
to
the
43
Chapter
,
where
I
have
left
a
few
Rules
.
This
Disease
is
very
dangerous
,
and
bringeth
many
and
sad
Symptoms
,
as
Inflammations
,
Exulcerations
,
great
Pains
,
long
Watchings
,
Weaknesse
,
Feavers
,
Suppression
of
Urine
,
and
Death
it self
.
It
is
difficult
to
cure
(
if
not
incurable
)
in
old
men
,
saith
Hippocrates
,
with
whom
Experience
agreeth
.
If
the
pain
hath
continued
long
and
violent
,
and
the
Sick
grow
externally
cold
,
with
cold
and
faint
Sweats
,
Death
is
at
hand
.
If
the
Stone
be
accompanied
with
an
Ulcer
of
the
Kidneys
it
is
incurable
,
because
those
things
which
do
break
the
Stone
,
do
exasperate
the
Ulcer
.
The
Cure
of
the
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
consisteth
in
mollifying
,
enlarging
,
or
relaxing
,
and
throwing
the
Stone
out
of
the
Ureters
,
to
break
the
Stone
if
it
be
too
big
for
the
Passage
;
to
take
away
the
antecedent
Cause
and
to
ease
pain
,
which
you
must
do
thus
:
first
,
open
the
Liver-Vein
on
the
same
side
,
that
is
most
grieved
:
draw
as
much
Blood
as
the
Constitution
of
the
Patient
can
well
spare
.
Then
administer
a
mollifying
and
laxative
Clister
:
Take
of
Common
and
Marsh-Mallows
,
Camomill
,
Penny-royall
,
Pellitory
of
the
Wall
,
and
Violet
Leavs
,
of
each
,
one
handfull
:
the
Seeds
of
sweet
Fennell
,
Flax
,
and
Faenugreek
;
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
boil
it
in
Posset-drink
to
a
Pint
,
strain
it
,
and
dissolve
therein
Cassia
,
Catholicon
,
and
Diaphaenicon
,
of
each
,
three
Drachms
:
the
Oyls
of
Rue
and
Scorpions
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
make
a
Clister
and
administer
it
.
Likewise
the
Oyls
of
sweet-Almonds
,
Camomill
,
Dill
,
Lillyes
,
and
Violets
are
good
to
be
used
in
Clisters
of
this
Nature
.
This
Clister
,
or
one
of
the
same
Nature
,
you
must
give
twice
or
thrice
in
a
week
;
and
,
in
the
dayes
between
,
foment
the
Region
of
the
Kidneys
with
a
Fomentation
made
of
the
aforenamed
simples
,
or
others
of
the
like
Nature
,
which
I
shall
treat
of
before
I
put
an
end
to
this
Chapter
.
Afterwards
anoint
the
part
with
the
Oyls
aforenamed
.
Or
you
may
make
a
Cataplasm
of
white
Bread
sodden
in
white
Wine
,
and
if
you
add
any
of
the
aforesaid
Oyls
it
will
be
the
better
.
Afterwards
lay
a
Plaister
to
the
place
;
Take
of
the
Oyl
of
Camomill
and
Rue
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
of
Dill
and
sweet-Almonds
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
Goose
and
Hens
Grease
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
with
Wax
,
and
the
compound
Melilot
Plaister
,
as
much
as
sufficeth
,
make
a
Plaister
and
apply
it
.
In
the
mean
time
,
you
must
not
forget
inward
Medicines
,
which
have
a
Faculty
to
break
the
Stone
,
to
ease
pain
,
and
mollify
and
enlarge
the
Ureters
.
The
simples
following
are
approved
of
,
viz.
the
Roots
of
Asparagus
,
Birthwort
,
Fennell
,
Butchers-Broom
,
Filipendula
,
Couch-grasse
Garden
and
Horse-radish
,
Maddir
,
Marsh
and
common
Mallows
,
Liquorish
,
Onions
,
Parsly
,
Knot-grass
:
the
Leavs
of
Bettony
,
Camomill
,
Penny-royall
,
Marsh-Mallows
,
Pellitory
of
the
Wall
,
Maiden-hair
,
Parsly
peart
,
Filipendula
,
Saxifrage
,
Savin
,
Burnet
,
Goats-Thorne
,
Kidney-Wort
,
Melilot
,
Golden-Rod
:
the
seeds
of
Nettles
,
Parsly
,
Gromwell
,
Burdock
,
Winter
Cherryes
,
Bay
,
Ivy
,
and
Juniper
Berries
,
the
four
cold
Seeds
;
the
stones
of
Hips
,
Haws
,
Medlers
,
&c
,
Of
these
you
may
make
Decoctions
,
Powders
,
or
distilled
Waters
,
and
the
like
,
the
Description
of
which
(
sot
brevity
sake
)
I
will
omit
.
Quercetanus
,
in
his
Dispensatory
,
commendeth
this
following
Powder
;
Take
of
the
inward
skins
of
Hen's
,
Gizzards
,
and
their
white
Dung
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
the
inward
skins
of
Egg
shels
dried
and
powdered
,
two
Ounces
and
an
half
:
Rupture-wort
and
Cinnamon
,
of
each
,
four
Scruples
:
the
Stones
of
Medlars
,
two
Drachms
:
the
Seeds
of
Annise
and
Fennell
,
of
each
one
Ounce
:
powder
them
,
and
give
half
a
Drachm
or
a
Drachm
in
white-Wine
.
Goats
Blood
prepared
is
excellent
:
and
the
Water
distilled
from
it
in
Balneo
Mariae
doth
wonders
.
And
some
do
commend
the
Urine
of
a
Goat
,
taken
out
whilst
he
is
alive
,
and
drunk
,
and
the
Entrails
applyed
.
Chymists
do
highly
extoll
their
Salts
,
and
Experience
tells
us
that
if
they
be
well
prepared
and
carefully
administred
,
they
work
no
small
effects
:
viz.
the
Salt
of
Bean
Cods
,
or
stalks
of
Camomill
:
Tartar
vitriolate
:
Oyl
of
Vitriol
;
the
Spirit
of
Salt
:
Mercurius
Dulcis
,
&c.
Zacutus
Lusitanus
commendeth
the
naturall
Balsom
,
a
few
drops
thereof
,
taken
with
Oyl
of
sweet-Almonds
.
Crato
had
as
good
an
Opinion
of
Filberts
eaten
,
and
confirms
his
opinion
by
Experience
.
Minerall
Waters
are
good
,
for
they
do
not
onely
dissolve
the
slimy
Tartarous
Matter
,
which
breeds
the
Stone
;
but
also
allayeth
the
hot
Distemper
of
the
Liver
and
Reins
.
Of
all
Diuretick
Medicines
,
Turpetine
is
the
safest
,
given
the
Quantity
of
a
Nut
with
Sugar
every
Morning
:
for
Diureticks
taken
very
often
(
for
the
most
part
)
hurt
,
by
carrying
the
Humours
from
other
parts
to
the
Reins
;
but
Turpetine
seldom
or
never
worketh
any
evill
effect
.
You
may
use
it
thus
:
Take
of
Venice
Turpetine
,
washed
with
Saxifrage
Water
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Cassia
newly
drawn
,
six
Drachms
:
Ruharb
and
Liquorish
in
Powder
,
of
each
,
half
a
Drachm
;
mix
them
and
make
a
Bolus
.
To
conclude
,
give
Clisters
often
,
or
,
if
you
see
it
more
convenient
,
purge
the
Body
between
your
Diuretick
Potions
,
for
the
reason
before
given
:
your
best
Purgations
are
Cassia
,
Diaphaenicon
,
Rubarb
,
and
such
like
.
If
the
Liver
and
Reins
are
distempered
by
Heat
,
make
use
of
those
Medicines
prescribed
against
the
hot
Distemper
of
the
Liver
.
If
Crudities
in
the
Stomach
be
the
Cause
seek
Medicines
out
of
the
Chapters
which
treat
of
the
Diseases
of
the
Stomach
.
If
you
do
carefully
consider
the
Cause
,
or
from
what
part
of
the
Body
the
Reins
fetch
their
stony
Materials
,
and
order
your
Medicines
accordingly
,
with
prudence
and
reason
,
by
the
blessing
of
God
,
you
may
find
the
Cure
of
the
Stone
not
to
be
so
difficult
,
as
it
is
commonly
adjudged
.
For
my
part
,
I
have
cured
several
people
,
who
have
been
grievously
vexed
with
this
Grief
:
for
which
Mercy
I
do
and
shall
praise
God
.
CHAP.
LXIII
.
Of
the
Stone
in
the
Bladder
.
I
Shall
speak
nothing
of
the
Cause
of
the
Stone
in
the
Bladder
;
the
material
and
efficient
Cause
being
the
same
with
that
of
the
Reins
.
This
Disease
happeneth
to
Children
,
oftner
then
to
people
of
riper
Age
,
who
are
more
subject
to
the
Stone
in
the
Reins
:
because
Children
,
eating
much
and
often
,
their
Urine
is
thick
,
and
the
expulsive
Faculty
in
the
Reins
is
stronger
in
them
then
in
men
,
and
sendeth
the
Urine
speedily
to
the
Bladder
;
where
(
being
long
kept
by
reason
of
much
sleep
or
play
)
the
Urine
settleth
,
and
is
retained
till
it
by
Heat
becometh
a
Stone
,
for
the
passage
is
narrow
in
Children
,
and
the
Urine
not
being
very
sharp
,
doth
not
powerfully
provoke
the
expulsive
Faculty
.
Fernelius
was
of
an
Opinion
that
the
Stone
in
the
Bladder
was
alwayes
first
bred
in
the
Reins
,
and
falling
from
thence
into
the
Bladder
,
and
getting
fresh
Matter
,
there
encreaseth
:
Fern
:
Lib.

cap.

pag.

Many
times
it
so
happeneth
:
but
daily
Experience
teacheth
that
many
have
the
Stone
in
the
Bladder
,
who
never
had
pain
in
the
Reins
,
especially
Children
.
The
Knowledg
of
this
Disease
in
the
beginning
is
difficult
;
but
when
the
Stone
is
grown
great
is
evident
enough
,
to
the
Patient's
sorrow
.
The
first
sign
is
pain
in
the
Neck
of
the
Bladder
,
reaching
to
the
end
of
the
yard
,
especially
after
pissing
.
The
yard
itcheth
and
the
Patient
handleth
it
often
.
He
feeleth
a
great
Weight
about
the
Neck
of
the
Bladder
,
when
the
Stone
is
grown
great
;
the
Urine
suddenly
stoppeth
,
and
he
is
in
pain
,
like
a
Woman
in
travel
:
his
yard
standeth
often
,
and
he
maketh
Water
with
most
ease
lying
upon
his
back
,
because
then
the
Stone
falleth
out
of
the
Neck
of
the
Bladder
.
When
he
hath
need
to
make
Water
,
he
is
also
much
provoked
to
goe
to
stool
,
by
reason
of
the
consent
of
the
Sphincter
Muscles
of
the
Anus
and
Bladder
,
being
moved
by
the
Branches
of
the
same
Nerve
.
Many
signs
more
I
might
insert
,
but
these
I
think
sufficient
for
the
ingenious
;
To
be
fully
satisfyed
,
the
best
way
is
to
make
use
of
the
Catheter
.
This
Disease
is
alwayes
exceeding
painfull
and
no
lesse
dangerous
:
if
the
Stone
be
like
Flint
it
can
never
be
dissolved
;
if
soft
or
brittle
,
it
may
be
dissolved
by
the
long
use
of
strong
Medicines
:
but
sew
there
are
that
have
Patience
enough
to
make
use
of
so
many
Medicines
.
The
Cure
is
not
altogether
so
difficult
in
Women
as
in
Men
,
because
the
passage
in
them
is
wider
.
In
the
year
1656
I
cured
a
Woman
,
who
was
a
long
time
grieved
with
the
Stone
,
and
intended
to
venture
upon
the
last
and
terrible
Cure
by
Cutting
;
with
in
the
space
of
a
Month
,
(
having
first
dissolved
part
of
the
Stone
by
Medicines
)
she
voided
a
Stone
(
without
the
help
of
manuall
operation
)
in
bignesse
two
Inches
,
in
length
an
Inch
and
an
half
,
without
prejudice
to
the
Uritery
parts
:
she
was
then
aged
63
,
and
is
yet
a
live
and
lusty
to
praise
God
for
so
great
a
deliverance
.
For
to
perfect
the
Cure
,
you
must
do
as
you
are
taught
in
the
foregoing
Chapter
,
so
that
I
need
not
here
repeat
any
thing
,
onely
lay
down
the
Medicine
so
much
commended
by
Horatius
Augenius
;
it
is
thus
prepared
:
Take
of
Sows
or
Wood
Lice
prepared
,
a
Drachm
,
or
four
Scruples
:
Aqua
vitae
,
two
Scruples
:
the
Broth
of
red
Cicers
,
nine
or
ten
Ounces
;
take
it
in
the
Morning
fasting
.
Sennertus
also
commends
it
,
and
this
Medicine
likewise
,
Take
of
Salt
of
white
Tartar
one
Ounce
:
Parsly
water
,
one
Pint
;
mix
them
,
and
strain
them
with
a
brown
paper
.
If
,
after
the
use
of
Medicines
,
you
find
the
Neck
of
the
Bladder
wounded
,
or
much
pained
by
the
roughnesse
of
the
Stone
,
make
a
Decoction
thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Marsh
Mallows
,
Fennel
,
Coughgrasse
,
and
Cammock
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Liquorish
,
two
Drachms
:
Camomill
and
Saxifrage
,
of
each
,
one
Pugill
:
Winter
Cherryes
,
twenty
:
Red
Cicers
,
four
Ounces
:
Raisons
of
the
Sun
,
two
Ounces
:
the
four
great
cold
Seeds
,
a
Drachm
and
an
half
:
French
Barly
four
Ounces
:
boil
them
gently
in
the
distilled
Water
of
Saxifrage
,
Cammock
,
and
Parsly
,
of
each
,
half
a
Pint
;
when
it
hath
boiled
a
while
,
add
half
a
Pint
of
white
Wine
,
and
let
it
boil
till
half
be
consumed
:
to
the
straining
,
add
six
Ounces
of
the
Sirrup
of
Marsh-Mallows
;
drink
three
or
four
Ounces
in
the
Morning
.
To
the
Region
of
the
Bladder
must
be
applyed
mollifying
and
asswaging
Fomentations
.
If
all
Medicines
fail
,
and
the
Patient's
pains
unsupportable
,
Necessity
requireth
the
dangerous
Operation
of
Cutting
.
Let
the
Physitian
prepare
the
Patient's
body
by
Purging
,
Bleeding
,
and
Diet
,
according
to
the
Constitution
and
Condition
of
the
Patient's
Body
;
and
let
the
Patient
prepare
his
Soul
for
God
.

Of
the
Inflammation
of
the
Reins
and
Bladder
.
THis
Disease
is
a
Tumor
in
those
parts
,
caused
by
the
flowing
of
Blood
or
Choller
unto
them
,
The
Causes
of
this
Inflammation
are
natural
,
unnatural
or
preternatural
.
Natural
,
when
there
is
a
natural
haereditary
Infirmity
in
the
parts
,
or
great
Heat
originally
,
which
violently
draw
the
Humours
thither
.
Causes
not
natural
are
,
Gluttony
,
Drunkennesse
,
much
Venery
,
great
Passions
of
the
mind
,
violent
Excercise
,
Stoppage
of
some
usual
Evacuation
as
the
Terms
or
Haemorrhoids
,
all
things
which
cause
Repletion
,
or
evill
Concoction
,
and
drive
the
Humours
to
the
inward
Bowels
.
Things
preternatural
may
be
the
Cause
,
as
a
Stroak
,
Wound
,
or
Bruise
upon
the
Reins
or
Bladder
;
constant
Feavers
;
the
Matter
of
the
Pleurisy
,
or
Empyema

away
by
the
Urine
:
Heat
or
Stoppage
of
the
Urine
,
the
Stone
,
or
Exulceration
of
the
part
may
cause
an
Inflammation
.
The
Inflammation
of
the
Reins
is
known
by
those
Signes
,
a
weighty
and
beating
Pain
about
the
part
,
which
extendeth
it self
to
the
adjacent
parts
,
the
Patient
cannot
help
himself
,
nor
ly
otherwise
then
upon
his
back
:
If
he
doth
sneez
or
move
his
Body
the
pain
encreaseth
,
he
hath
a
Numbnesse
in
the
Leg
on
the
same
side
,
he
maketh
Water
with
difficulty
:
he
hath
a
constant
sharp
Feaver
,
with
Watchings
,
Dotings
,
and
dangerous
Symptomes
:
He
vomiteth
Choller
,
Phlegm
,
and
other
Humours
;
the
Urine
is
,
first
,
thin
and
yellow
,
afterwards
,
thick
and
red
.
If
the
Bladder
be
inflamed
,
the
Patient
is
vexed
with
a
sharp
Feaver
,
Watching
,
Vomiting
,
&c.
as
aforesaid
.
The
Share
becometh
hard
,
and
hath
vehement
pain
,
he
hath
(
almost
)
continuall
Provocation
to
go
to
Stool
,
as
in
the
Disease
Tenasmus
.
Prog
:
The
Inflammation
of
these
parts
do
threaten
continual
danger
of
Death
.
Convulsions
,
Dotage
,
Watchings
,
cold
Sweats
,
are
the
Messengers
of
Death
.
If
the
Inflammation
suppurate
,
and
the
Imposthume
break
,
and
the
Matter
be
evacuated
by
the
Urine
,
there
is
hopes
.
If
the
Haemorrhoids
bleed
,
there
is
hopes
that
the
Inflammation
will
cease
.
You
must
begin
the
Cure
with
a
mollifying
and
cooling
Clister
:
to
the
Decoction
for
the
Clister
(
prescribed
in
the
Chapter
of
the
Stone
in
the
Reins
)
add
of
Cassia
,
and
Diaprunes
Lenitive
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Sirrup
of
Violets
one
Ounce
:
the
Oyl
of
Violets
two
ounces
:
make
a
Clister
.
Then
open
the
Liver-Vein
on
the
same
side
,
the
Inflammation
is
:
If
the
Bladder
be
inflamed
,
open
the
Liver-Vein
on
the
right
Arm
;
draw
as
much
Blood
,
as
your
Patient's
Strength
will
bear
.
And
if
you
open
the
inferior
Veins
,
it
is
a
good
derivation
.
Then
give
the
Clister
again
,
and
as
often
as
need
requireth
?
but
remember
to
give
it
in
a
small
quantity
,
least
it
oppresse
the
Tumor
.
Use
Cupping
and
Scarifying
;
Frictions
and
Ligatures
to
the
extream
parts
,
to
draw
the
Humours
outwards
.
You
must
allay
the
Heat
of
the
Blood
by
cooling
Juleps
,
in
which
use
no
Diuretick
Simple
,
lest
it
carry
Humours
to
the
part
and
increase
the
Inflammation
:
in
the
declination
of
the
Disease
,
Diuretick
Medicines
may
be
given
,
You
may
make
a
cooling
Julep
thus
:
Take
of
the
distilled
Water
of
Endive
,
Lettice
,
Plantane
,
and
Purslane
,
of
each
,
four
Ounces
:
Sirrup
of
Pomegranats
,
two
Ounces
:
the
Sirrup
of
Water-Lillyes
,
and
Violets
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
as
much
as
sufficeth
to
give
it
a
gratefull
Relish
:
mix
them
for
four
Mornings
and
Evenings
Draughts
.
Or
you
may
make
an
Emulsion
of
the
Seeds
of
Sorrel
,
Letrice
,
Purslane
,
Poppy
,
Almonds
,
Pine-Nuts
,
and
the
like
:
The
great
cold
Seeds
are
diuretick
and
must
not
be
used
in
the
beginning
of
the
Disease
,
for
the
reason
before
given
.
Nor
ought
you
at
first
to
purge
till
the
Declination
,
then
you
may
profitably
purge
with
Medicines
which
are
gentle
,
as
Manna
,
Cassia
,
Rubarb
,
Tamarinds
,
Diaprunes
lenitive
,
Sirrup
of
Roses
,
&c.
Outwardly
you
may
apply
Cataplasms
,
Liniments
,
Unguents
,
that
are
cooling
,
repelling
,
and
(
if
the
Inflammation
be
in
the
Bladder
)
astringing
:
when
the
Defluxion
is
stopped
use
Softners
and
Dissolvers
.
If
the
Strangury
,
or
any
other
dangerous
Symptome
appear
,
converse
with
their
proper
Chapters
.
If
the
Tumor
tend
to
Suppuration
,
which
you
may
know
by
the
encrease
of
the
Feaver
and
Symptomes
,
trembling
and
vomiting
,
you
must
help
Nature
with
mollifying
Cataplasms
,
the
Chapters
of
Inflammations
of
other
parts
will
advise
you
.
If
the
Tumor
appear
outwardly
,
you
must
open
it
with
a
Cautery
,
or
Incision-knife
.
If
it
break
,
and
the
Matter
fall
into
the
Abdomen
,
it
brings
sudden
Death
,
or
a
Hectick
Feaver
.
If
the
Tumor
grow
hard
and
the
Feaver
gone
,
it
breeds
the
Dropsy
,
evill
Habit
,
or
some
such
Disease
,
and
is
incurable
,
for
the
most
part
;
you
must
deal
with
it
as
with
the
Schirrhus
of
the
Liver
.
CHAP.
LXV
.
Of
the
Ulcer
of
the
Reins
and
Bladder
.
THis
Disease
is
caused
,
either
from
an
Imposthume
broken
there
;
from
Sharpnesse
of
the
Humours
;
or
from
a
Stone
which
doth
corrode
them
.
This
Disease
is
known
by
the
voiding
of
much
Matter
with
the
Urine
.
To
know
whether
the
Reins
or
the
Bladder
be
diseased
,
take
a
few
Rules
;
If
the
Ulcer
be
in
the
Reins
,
the
pain
is
there
,
the
Matter
is
more
concocted
,
more
in
quantity
,
and
more
mixed
with
the
Urine
,
making
it
appear
like
Milk
,
which
,
standing
,
settleth
to
the
bottom
;
sometimes
much
Blood
is
voided
,
and
pieces
of
Flesh
,
which
sometimes
stops
the
Passage
.
When
the
Ulcer
is
in
the
Bladder
,
contrary
Signes
appear
,
the
pain
is
neer
the
Privityes
,
the
Matter
is
lesse
in
Quantity
,
and
not
well
concoct
,
but
of
divers
Colours
,
and
stinketh
;
sometimes
Matter
is
voided
without
Urine
:
If
the
Ulcer
be
old
,
callous
and
hard
,
snotty
Phlegm
is
voided
,
such
as
is
voided
,
if
there
be
a
Stone
in
the
Bladder
;
for
the
most
part
,
little
Skins
,
like
Scales
or
Bran
,
are
voided
.
As
all
inward
Vlcers
are
dangerous
,
so
are
these
much
more
,
because
the
continuall
Flux
of
Humours
,
with
the
Vrine
,
to
the
part
,
doth
nourish
the
Vlcer
.
The
Violence
of
the
pain
causeth
Watchings
and
a
Consumption
of
the
whole
Body
.
If
the
Vicer
be
taken
in
time
and
the
Patient
yong
,
it
may
be
cured
,
else
not
.
The
Cure
must
be
performed
by
evacuating
the
peccant
Humours
,
by
cleansing
,
drying
,
and
healing
the
Vlcer
.
You
must
parge
the
Humours
,
which
flow
to
the
part
affected
,
with
gentle
Medicines
,
such
as
are
prescribed
in
the
Chapter
aforegoing
.
If
there
be
Repletion
or
Inflammation
in
the
part
,
let
Phlebotomy
be
used
.
Evacuate
the
Humours
by
gentle
purgers
,
mentioned
in
the
Chapter
aforegoing
.
Mercuvius
Dulcis
doth
cleanse
and
heal
the
Vlcer
.
Turpentine
is
a
good
cleanser
.
It
is
good
for
the
Patient
to
vomit
often
.
After
due
Evacuations
,
you
must
use
cleansers
:
as
the
Milk
of
Cows
,
Goats
,
or
Asses
,
which
are
very
good
,
and
cleanse
with
their
wheyie
part
,
and
heal
with
their
cheezie
,
but
give
it
not
in
a
Feaver
.
Let
the
Patient
drink
Water
and
Sugar
,
thin
Hydromell
,
or
Barly
Water
.
In
Hydromell
,
if
there
be
a
Feaver
,
boil
the
cold
Seeds
,
Mallows
,
Liquorish
,
&c.
Waters
that
spring
from
Allum
and
Iron
Mines
are
good
,
for
they
correct
the
Heat
,
and
cleanse
the
Ulcer
.
The
Decoction
of
China
,
Guajacum
,
Sarsaparilla
,
and
the
like
,
is
good
to
dry
up
the
Humours
,
to
purge
the
crude
Matter
,
in
them
that
have
the
French
Pox
,
and
have
no
Feaver
,
nor
Flux
of
Blood
.
But
lest
the
Bowels
should
be
inflamed
,
give
cooling
Broths
at
Night
.
After
the
use
of
cleansers
,
(
you
may
see
,
by
the
Vrine
,
when
the
Vlcer
is
cleansed
;
viz.
when
it
appeareth
white
and
clean
without
any
dreggy
or
filthy
Matter
,
)
then
you
must
give
astringing
,
glutinating
,
and
healing
Medicines
.
Take
of
Conserve
of
Roses
,
four
Ounces
:
Bolearmenick
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
red
Coral
,
and
Sanguis
Draconis
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
the
Seeds
of
Lettice
,
Purslane
,
and
Plantane
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
;
red
Roses
,
and
Shavings
of
Ivory
,
of
each
,
two
Scruples
:
with
Sirrup
of
Comphry
,
make
an
Opiate
.
Or
you
may
make
of
it
a
Masse
for
Pills
with
Venice
Turpentine
,
or
(
if
that
cause
pain
)
with
the
Juyce
of
Liquorish
.
Chymists
do
much
commend
Antimonium
Diaphoreticum
,
Mercurius
Dulcis
,
&
Diaphoreticus
.
To
allay
the
vehemency
of
the
pain
,
you
must
sometimes
mix
Anodines
with
your
Medicines
,
as
Laudanum
,
the
Sirrup
of
Poppyes
,
and
the
Emulsion
of
the
cold
Seeds
.
Outwardly
foment
the
Region
of
the
Kidneys
,
thus
:
Take
of
Camomil
,
Mallows
,
Melilot
,
Pellitory
of
the
Wall
,
and
Violets
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
the
Roots
of
Marsh-Mallows
,
and
water-Lillyes
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
the
Seeds
of
Flax
,
Fenugreek
,
and
Winter-Cherryes
,
of
each
,
three
Drachms
:
make
a
Decoction
and
foment
the
part
.
Then
apply
this
Liniment
:
Take
of
the
Oyl
of
Violets
and
Sweet
Almonds
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
:
Oyl
of
Roses
,
one
Ounce
:
of
the
Musilage
made
of
the
Seeds
of
Marsh-Mallows
and
Fenugreck
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
Saffron
,
one
Scruple
;
make
a
Liniment
.
If
the
Ulcer
be
in
the
Bladder
,
you
must
make
an
Injection
twice
in
a
day
,
with
new
Milk
,
Whey
,
Hydromel
,
or
Barly
Water
with
Hony
of
Roses
,
to
cleanse
;
afterwards
add
Astringers
and
Driers
,
as
the
white
Trochts
of
Rhasis
or
of
Gordonius
:
or
boil
in
Whey
or
Barly-water
,
the
Roots
of
Comphry
,
Allum
,
Mirth
,
Tragacanth
,
and

Diabetes
is
a
quick
and
plentifull
making
of
Water
,
after
which
followeth
violent
Thirst
,
and
a
wasting
of
the
whole
Body
.
The
Cause
of
this
Disease
is
a
hot
Distemper
of
the
Reins
,
which
draweth
Water
violently
from
the
Veins
,
which
causeth
a
great
Thirst
after
drink
,
which
,
as
soon
as
it
is
taken
,
is
carried
to
the
Reins
;
where
burthening
the
retentive
Faculty
and
provoking
the
expulsive
,
it
is
soon
sent
to
the
Bladder
.
Some
attribute
it
to
choletick
,
sharp
,
and
salt
Humours
in
the
Kidneys
,
which
draw
Water
thither
;
as
such
Humours
,
which
stick
to
the
Tunicles
of
the
Stomach
in
Feavers
,
cause
Thirst
.
Others
will
not
admit
of
this
opinion
,
because
the
Kidneys
onely
suffer
in
this
Disease
;
and
that
Choller
,
and
other
burnt
Humours
,
are
first
bred
in
the
Liver
.
They
say
there
is
a
venemous
Quality
bred
in
the
Kidneys
;
Galen
himself
is
of
this
opinion
,
that
divers
kinds
of
Poisons
may
breed
in
the
Body
of
Man
.
In
Lybia
there
is
a
Serpent
,
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
Dipsacos
(
which
name
the
Greeks
give
this
Disease
,
from
the
unquenchable
Thirst
,
with
which
it
is
accompanied
)
which
Serpent
,
if
he
biteth
any
man
,
infecteth
him
with
such
a
Poyson
,
as
begets
an
unquenchable
Thirst
.
The
Signes
of
this
Disease
are
clear
,
from
what
hath
been
said
,
viz.
An
unquenchable
Thirst
,
an
extraordinary
Pissing
,
and
voiding
the
Drink
as
soon
(
almost
)
as
it
is
drunk
;
and
a
Decay
of
the
whole
Body
.
This
Disease
is
deadly
,
if
it
be
not
taken
in
the
beginning
,
and
the
Patient
yong
,
for
it
brings
a
Consumption
.
If
you
judge
the
Patient
curable
,
you
must
labour
to
allay
the
hot
Distemper
of
the
Kidneys
;
to
correct
their
poysonous
Quality
;
to
thicken
the
Humours
which
flow
to
them
,
and
to
strengthen
them
.
First
,
give
mollifying
and
asswaging
Clisters
,
and
purge
,
if
you
see
occasion
,
as
you
are
taught
in
the
Chapter
Of
the
Inflammation
of
the
Kidneys
.
Gentle
Vomits
do
evacuate
and
draw
the
Humours
from
the
Ureters
.
If
nothing
forbid
,
open
a
Vein
in
the
Arm.
To
correct
the
Distemper
and
thicken
the
Humours
,
make
a
Julep
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
distilled
Water
(
or
the
Decoction
)
of
Plantane
,
four
Ounces
:
of
Lettice
,
Poppy
,
and
Purslane
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
the
Sirrup
of
Myrtles
,
Comphry
,
and
Quinces
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Sirrup
of
Poppyes
,
half
an
Ounce
:
the
Spirit
of
Vitriol
,
twenty
Drops
;
mix
them
and
make
a
Julep
.
If
you
will
have
a
Medicine
more
astringent
or
binding
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Seeds
of
Plantane
,
Purslane
,
and
Coriander
prepared
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Flowers
of
red
Roses
,
Pomegranats
,
and
yellow
Mirabolans
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Nutmegs
,
half
a
Drachm
:
Corall
and
Pearl
prepared
,
burnt
Harts
Horn
,
Bolearmenick
,
and
the
Roots
of
Tormentill
,
of
each
,
one
Scruple
;
make
them
into
Powder
:
Or
,
if
you
please
,
make
them
into
a
soft
Electuary
,
with
the
Sirrup
of
Myrtles
,
Comphry
,
or
Quinces
.
The
Milk
of
Asses
,
Cows
,
Goats
,
or
Sheep
is
good
,
especially
,
if
Flints
be
often
quenched
therein
.
Sweating
is
a
good
Remedy
,
if
it
be
provoked
by
outward
means

CHAP.
LXVII
.
Of
involuntary
Pissing
.
THis
Disease
consisteth
in
the
hurting
of
the
retentive
Action
of
the
Bladder
.
Some
are
subject
to
this
Distemper
,
while
they
are
awake
,
which
is
the
worst
.
Others
are
subject
to
it
sleeping
onely
,
which
is
not
so
bad
,
because
then
the
animall
Functions
are
lesse
excercised
.
There
are
two
Causes
of
this
Distemper
;
First
,
the
Weaknesse
and
Loosenesse
of
the
Sphincter
Muscle
of
the
Bladder
.
Or
Secondly
,
the
exquisite
Sense
of
the
Bladder
,
and
the
Sharpnesse
of
the
Urine
,
(
which
stirreth
up
the
expulsive
Faculty
)
with
consent
of
the
Will.
The
first
Cause
is
apparent
in
sucking
Children
,
weak
people
,
and
such
whose
vitall
Heat
is
decayed
,
and
the
Body
oppressed
with
cold
and
moist
Humours
.
The
other
Cause
you
may
discover
in
those
,
whose
Bladder
nor
Sphincter
is
no
ways
distempered
,
but
they
imagine
(
when
the
Quantity
and
Sharpnesse
of
the
Vrine
stirreth
up
the
expulsive
Faculty
)
that
they
are
pissing
against
the
Wall
,
and
so
get
a
custome
of
it
,
which
cannot
be
cured
by
Medicines
.
The
Sphincter
Muscle
may
become
weak
or
loose
,
by
Youth
,
old
Age
,
decay
of
vitall
Heat
,
by
the
Palsy
;
in
Women
,
from
Diseases
of
the
Womb
,
or
hard
Labour
,
cutting
for
the
Stone
,
or
any
Wound
there
,
or
deep
Vlcer
.
This
Disease
is
easily
known
,
and
the
cause
thereof
is
as
easily
discovered
;
if
it
come
by
Wound
,
Vlcer
,
old
Age
,
or
the
like
,
it
is
apparent
.
If
it
come
by
consent
of
other
parts
,
the
Diseases
of
those
parts
are
obvious
as
the
original
:
If
neither
of
them
appear
,
consider
the
cold
and
moist
Temper
of
the
part
,
which
is
known
by
the
internall
and
external
causes
,
and
the
Effects
upon
them
depending
,
as
Softnesse
of
the
Body
,
Whitenesse
,
and
Loosenesse
of
the
Nervs
about
the
privityes
,
Childhood
,
Age
,
evill
phlegmatick
Concoction
,
and
such
like
.
In
old
Men
this
Disease
is
incurable
,
because
the
vitall
Hant
cannot
be
repaired
.
In
Children
Nature
worketh
the
cure
,
when
they
grow
elder
,
by
drying
up
the
superfluous
Humidity
,
and
knitting
the
Muscle
;
but
if
a
man
continue
so
till
the
Age
of
twenty
or
twenty
five
,
he
is
incurable
.
If
involuntary
Pissing
come
to
a
man
sick
of
an
acute
Feaver
,
Death
is
at
hand
.
If
this
Disease
come
by
a
Wound
or
Vlcer
or
any
other
manifest
Disease
,
the
cure
depends
upon
the
removing
of
them
;
otherwise
the
cure
is
wrought
by
amending
the
cold
and
moist
Distemper
and
the
Loosenesse
of
the
Sphincter
Muscle
.
First
,
you
must
purge
the
cold
and
phlegmatick
Humours
;
add
to
your
phlegm-Purgers
such
Medicines
,
which
purge
and
leav
a
binding
Quality
behind
it
,
as
Rubarb
,
Myrabolans
,
and
the
like
.
Then
give
Medicines
that
knit
the
part
and
dry
the
Humours
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Comphry
,
and
Cypresse
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Cypresse-Nuts
,
and
Myrtles
dryed
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
Coriander
Seed
prepared
,
red
Corall
,
Amber
,
and
Shavings
of
Ivory
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
the
Seeds
of
Plantane
,
Rue
,
and
Acorn
cups
,
of
each
,
two
Scruples
:
powder
them
,
and
with
the
Sirrup
of
Comphry
,
make
an
Opiate
,
and
give
the
Quantity
of
a
chesnut
Morning
and
Evening
:
or
drink
half
a
Drachm
of
the
powder
in
red
Wine
.
Sweating
Medicines
are
much
commended
.
Things
proper
for
the
cure
of
this
Disease
are
,
the
Brain
and
Stones
of
a
Hare
burnt
:
the
Throat
of
a
Cock
;
Snails
and
Egg
shells
;
Mice
fryed
or
dryed
to
powder
;
Hogs
Hoofs
powdered
;
Agrimony
and
the
Gizzards
of
Hens
in
powder
.
Apply
Medicines
to
the
Privityes
,
that
are
hot
,
strengthning
,
and
astringing
.
Let
him
drink
the
Decoction
of
the
inward
Bark
of
an
Oak
,
of
Sloes
,
and
such
like
;
and
let
him
avoid
drink
to
bedward
.
You
must
allay
the
Symptomes
which
may
accompany
this
Disease
,
as
Feavers
,
Thirst
,
Watchings
,
Consumptions
,
&c.
by
the
Remedies
laid
down
in
their
proper
chapters
.
CHAP.
LXVIII
.
Of
the
Stoppage
of
Urine
and
Strangury
.
THe
Stoppage
of
Urine
,
and
the
Strangury
,
are
Diseases
,
which
differ
onely
in
degree
;
the
first
is
called
by
the
Greeks
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
;
the
other
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
.
Iscuria
is
when
the
Urine
is
totally
stopped
:
when
little
is
voided
then
it
is
called
Stranguria
.
The
first
is
caused
by
an
Obstruction
in
the
Nerv
,
which
helpeth
the
expulsive
Faculty
of
the
Bladder
,
by
the
Palsy
,
or
some
sleepy
or
stupifying
Disease
.
A
cold
Distemper
of
the
Bladder
,
dulling
the
Sense
thereof
,
may
be
the
Cause
.
Sometimes
an
Inflammation
or
Tumor
in
the
Muscle
of
the
Bladder
may
stop
the
Passage
,
the
Stone
,
some
thick
humor
,
clod
of
Blood
,
or
the
like
.
Sometimes
by
long
holding
of
Water
,
by
which
the
Bladder
is
so
stretched
that
it
cannot
contract
it self
to
open
the
Passage
.
Sometimes
the
Bladder
is
empty
,
&
no
Urine
cometh
to
it
,
this
is
called
a
bastard
Iscuria
,
and
may
be
caused
,
by
some
hurt
in
the
attractive
or
expulsive
Faculty
of
the
Roins
.
The
attractive
Faculty
is
hure
by
some
Stoppage
in
the
Reins
,
or
emulgent
Veins
.
The
Reins
may
be
obstructed
by
the
Stone
,
thick
Phlegm
,
or
the
like
;
the
emulgent
Veins
,
by
abundance
of
Blood
or
Water
.
Sometimes
the
watry
humour
is
spent
,
as
in
Feavers
;
or
sent
to
some
other
part
,
as
in
the
Dropsy
;
by
which
means
the
attractive
Faculty
of
the
Reins
is
hindered
.
The
expulsive
Faculty
of
the
Reins
is
hindered
by
the
Stone
,
Phlegm
,
or
clods
of
Blood
.
Diag
:
The
Disease
is
easily
known
;
the
Causes
thereof
may
be
obtained
.
If
it
come
by
long
holding
the
Urine
,
the
Patient
is
able
to
inform
you
.
If
there
be
a
stoppage
in
the
part
,
the
use
of
the
Catheter
or
fearing
Candle
,
and
the
ingenuity
of
the
Artist
,
will
discover
the
Nature
of
the
stoppage
.
If
the
Passage
be
stopped
by
the
Stone
,
the
Symptoms
of
the
Stone
have
gone
before
;
If
a
Caruncle
,
there
hath
gone
before
a
Gonorrhaea
,
or
an
Vlcerin
the
passage
of
the
Yard
.
If
clods
of
Blood
stop
the
Passage
,
the
Patient
hath
formerly
voided
Blood
,
and
clotted
Blood
will
stick
to
the
Catheter
.
The
Strangury
is
thus
known
,
there
is
neither
Weight
,
Tumor
,
or
Extension
about
the
Privityes
,
but
rather
an
Emptinesse
;
the
attractive
or
expulsive
Faculty
of
the
Reins
is
obstructed
as
aforesaid
.
Prognosticks
are
thus
made
;
This
Disease
is
ever
dangerous
,
if
it
continue
above
seven
dayes
it
is
deadly
.
The
same
judge
,
if
the
Patient
hath
Hiccough
or
Tenasmus
accompanying
this
Disease
:
or
if
it
came
by
a
Wound
or
Blow
upon
the
back-bone
;
or
if
his
Breath
stink
of
Pisse
.
The
Cure
of
both
these
consisteth
in
removing
the
Causes
.
If
it
proceed
from
the
fullnesse
of
the
emulgent
Veins
,
bleeding
is
good
:
if
from
Diseases
of
the
Reins
or
Ureters
,
seek
the
Cure
out
of
the
Chapters
,
that
treat
of
the
Pain
,
Inflammation
,
or
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
.
If
it
depend
upon
the
Inflammation
of
the
Bladder
,
see
the
64
Chapter
.
If
upon
the
Stone
fastned
in
the
Neck
of
the
Bladder
,
lay
the
Patient
upon
his
back
,
with
his
Thighs
lifted
up
,
move
him
hither
and
thither
till
the
Stone
fall
out
of
the
Passage
;
if
that
will
not
do
,
make
use
of
the
Catheter
.
If
the
Stone
lyeth
in
the
Passage
of
the
Yard
,
bathe
the
Yard
in
warm
Milk
or
Oyl
,
&
labour
to
get
it
out
with
your
fingers
:
if
it
will
not
come
out
;
bind
the
Yard
on
each
side
,
and
make
an
Incision
on
the
upper
side
of
the
Yard
.
If
a
Caruncle
stop
the
Passage
;
Medicines
,
which
are
proper
to
take
it
away
,
must
be
conveyed
to
the
part
with
a
Wax-Candle
.
If
Phlegm
obstruct
,
purge
it
with
Medicines
convenient
,
and
when
you
see
occasion
,
give
such
as
provoke
Urine
.
The
Chapters
of
the
Stone
of
the
Bladder
or
Kidneys
will
direct
you
how
to
prepare
them

LXIX

Of
the
Scalding
of
the
Urine
.
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
Dysuria
in
Greek
is
a
Disease
which
modern
Writers
call
,
Scalding
of
the
Urine
:
it
differs
from
Stranguria
in
this
,
that
more
Water
is
made
,
and
with
farr
more
pain
.
Any
thing
that
can
wound
the
Sphincter-Muscle
,
or
passage
of
the
Bladder
,
may
be
the
Cause
.
The
usuall
Cause
is
either
a
mixture
of
sharp
Humours
with
the
Urine
,
or
sometimes
,
the
sharpnesse
of
the
Urine
,
caused
by
the
eating
of
hot
and
sharp
Meats
,
or
by
the
hot
Distemper
of
the
Bowels
,
Liver
,
or
other
parts
:
or
from
evill
Concoction
in
the
Stomach
or
Liver
,
by
which
the
Blood
is
not
freed
from
salt
and
tartarous
Humours
,
which
,
being
sucked
to
the
Kidneys
,
is
sent
to
the
Bladder
,
&
causeth
pain
.
Filthy
Matter
,
comming
from
an
Ulcer
in
the
Reins
or
Bladder
,
may
be
the
Cause
;
he
who
is
troubled
with
a
Gonorrhaea
or
Running
of
the
Reins
,
is
seldom
free
from
scalding
Urine
.
To
conclude
,
the
Stone
or
large
Gravel
may
be
the
Cause
.
The
Knowledge
of
this
Disease
is
evident
,
the
Signes
of
the
Causes
are
easily
gathered
.
If
it
be
caused
by
the
Stone
,
Inflammation
,
or
Gonorrhaea
,
it
is
known
by
their
proper
Signes
.
If
from
sharpnesse
of
Urine
,
by
the
mixture
of
Humours
,
the
Urine
will
be
thin
,
and
high
coloured
;
or
in
it
will
appear
a
mixture
of
Choller
,
Phlegm
,
or
Matter
;
the
Patient
hath
eaten
hot
things
,
or
else
hath
some
hot
Distemper
.
This
Disease
is
not
very
dangerous
,
unlesse
it
continue
long
,
and
ulcerateth
the
Neck
of
the
Bladder
:
Sometimes
it
is
hard
to
be
cured
,
especially
,
if
the
Patient
be
old
.
The
Cure
must
be
wrought
by
taking
away
the
Cause
:
If
a
mixture
of
sharp
Humours
make
the
Vrine
sharp
,
first
make
use
of
Phlebotomy
,
which
is
good
to
correct
the
hot
Distemper
of
the
Liver
and
other
parts
,
make
use
of
this
Evacuation
as
often
as
the
Patient's
Constitution
will
bear
,
and
the
Distemper
require
;
then
,
to
derive
it
from
the
part
affected
,
open
the
lower
Veins
.
Then
purge
with
Cassia
,
Manna
,
Rubarb
,
Mirabolans
,
Tamarinds
,
and
such
things
,
which
purge
gently
:
if
you
give
it
with
the
Decoction
of
Plantane
,
Mallows
,
Lettice
,
Purslane
,
and
the
like
,
it
will
be
the
better
.
A
gentle
Vomit
is
much
commended
as
a
good
Revulsion
.
Cooling
Clisters
are
good
.
Inwardly
the
Whey
of
Goats
milk
,
or
Mineral
Waters
that
cool
,
are
good
for
ordinary
drink
.
Or
this
Julep
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Marsh
and
common
Mallows
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Lettice
,
Endive
,
Purslane
and
Violet
Leavs
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
Jujubes
and
Sebestens
,
of
each
one
Ounce
:
of
the
four
great
cold
Seeds
,
a
Drachm
:
the
flowers
of
Violets
,
Roses
,
and
water-Lillyes
,
of
each
,
one
Pugil
:
boil
them
in
Spring
Water
to
a
Pint
and
an
half
;
strain
it
,
and
add
of
Jujubes
,
Violets
,
and
Poppyes
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
;
Oyl
of
Vitriol
,
twenty
Drops
:
make
a
Julep
for
four
Doses
,
to
be
taken
Morning
and
Evening
.
If
there
be
no
Feaver
,
give
Milk
by
it self
.
The
Troches
of
Winter
Cherryes
is
good
.
If
the
pain
be
very
great
,
let
the
Patient
,
when
he
maketh
Water
,
put
his
Yard
into
warm
Milk
,
or
a
Decoction
of
Mallows
,
and
other
cooling
Herbs
.
Or
inject
Milk
,
Plantane-Water
,
or
an
Emulsion
of
the
cold
Seeds
,
into
the
Passage
.
Baths
and
Fomentations
,
made
of
cool
Herbs
are
good
;
and
if
the
Privities
be
anointed
with
Unguentum
Populeon
,
the
Oyl
or
Unguent
of
Roses
,
Oyl
of
Lillyes
,
and
the
like
,
it
profiteth
.
If
the
Liver
,
Reins
,
or
other
parts
by
their
Heat
be
the
Cause
,
use
Medicines
that
are
good
to
cool
them
.
If
the
Liver
be
too
hot
,
bleed
the
Haemorrhoids
,
or
make
an
Issue
in
the
right
Leg.
If
it
come
from
the
Stone
,
Inflammation
,
or
Vlcer
of
the
Bladder
or
Kidneys
,
cure
them
according
to
the
Rules
in
their
proper
Chapters
;
but
the
cooling
Medicines
,
before

are
good
to
allay

Of
Pissing
of
Blood
.
THough
Blood
may
come
from
divers
parts
of
the
Body
to
the
Passages
of
the
Vrine
,
yet
I
shall
here
speak
onely
of
that
bloody
Vrine
,
which
is
made
from
the
defect
of
the
Reins
or
Bladder
.
The
usual
Causes
are
,
much
sharp
Blood
which
corrodeth
the
Veins
,
or
plenty
of
Blood
which
bursteth
them
;
Sometimes
a
Stone
in
the
Reins
or
Bladder
,
being
moved
by
Riding
or
violent
Excercise
,
by
its
roughnesse
teareth
the
part
.
A
Fall
or
Stroak
,
vehement
Motion
,
lifting
or
carrying
may
break
a
Vein
.
Sometimes
the
Weakness
of
the
Reins
,
being
not
able
to
divide
the
Vrine
from
the
Blood
,
may
cause
this
Disease
.
This
Disease
is
apparent
to
the
Senses
,
for
when
Blood
is
mixed
with
the
Vrine
,
it
appeareth
like
Water
wherein
Flesh
hath
been
washed
,
with
Clods
of
Blood
at
the
bottom
:
if
it
stayes
too
long
in
the
Bladder
it
looks
black
.
The
place
that
is
pained
shews
the
part
affected
.
If
it
come
from
the
Reins
,
it
is
more
mixed
with
the
Urine
,
then
if
it
come
from
the
Bladder
.
If
it
come
from
the
Bladder
,
it
is
in
a
lesser
Quantity
.
If
it
come
from
the
Stone
in
the
Kidneys
or
Bladder
,
the
Signes
mentioned
in
their
proper
Chapters
will
appear
.
If
it
come
from
Repletion
or
Sharpnesse
of
Humours
,
the
Abundance
of
Blood
,
Choller
,
Melancholy
,
or
such
Humours
appear
in
the
Body
.
If
it
come
by
a
Blow
,
Fall
,
violent
Exercise
,
&c.
the
Patient
is
able
to
inform
.
This
Disease
,
if
it
be
violent
and
continue
long
,
is
very
dangerous
;
for
sometimes
the
Patient
falleth
into
a
Consumption
,
sometimes
into
the
Dropsy
:
Sometimes
it
causeth
a
Stoppage
of
Urine
,
and
sometimes
an
Vlcer
breedeth
in
the
place
from
whence
the
Blood
Floweth
.
If
Blood
or
sharp
Humours
abound
,
begin
the
Cure
with
blood-letting
;
after
a
while
,
for
derivation
,
let
the
Haemorrhoids
and
the
Saphaena
or
Ancle-Vein
be
opened
.
Then
purge
the
chollerick
Humours
with
those
Medicines
that
are
prescribed
in
the
30
Chapter
Of
Spitting
of
Blood
.
After
you
have
purged
sufficiently
,
give
things
that
knit
the
Veins
and
stop
Blood
.
For
this
purpose
give
four
or
five
Ounces
of
the
Juyce
of
Plantane
,
and
a
Scruple
of
the
Troches
of
Amber
,
or
of
Gordonius
,
Morning
and
Evening
.
Forestus
in
his
Observations
doth
much
commend
Sheeps
Milk
;
six
Ounces
,
with
one
Drachm
of
Bolearmenick
,
is
the
Dose
.
The

,
Comphry
roots
,

Coral
,
Blood-Stone
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
given
with
the
Water
or
Juyce
of
Plantane
is
good
.
Giye
cooling
Juleps
to
allay
the
Heat
of
the
Blood
.
Apply
such
things
to
the
Loins
as
cool
and
astringe
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Bistort
,
Comphry
,
and
Clowns-Wound-Wort
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:

Drachms
:
Acorn
cups
,
red
and

Sanders
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
red
Roses
,
three
pugils
:
boil
them
in
Smith's
Water
,
and
Vinegar
,
therewith
foment
the
Reins
.
Then
anoint
the
Loins
with
Unguentum
Comitissae
,
and
Refrigerans
Galeni
;
and
if
you
would
have
it
bind
more
,
add
the
juyce
of
Plantane
,
or
such
like
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
&c.
Then
wear
a
thin
plate
of
Lead
,
about
the
Reins
,
pricked
full
of
holes
.
Let
the
Patient's
ordinary
drink
,
be
Beer
,
in
which
is
tunned
Mastick-wood
sliced
and
cut
small
,
Plantane
,
and
the
Herbs
before
named
.
If
the
Liver
be
distempered
with
Heat
,
conferr
with
the
53
Chapter
.
If
the
Stone
or
Gravell
be
the
Cause
,
use
no
strong
Diureticks
,
because
they
provoke
the
Flux
,
but
that
which
I
have
known
very
effectuall
in
this
case
,
I
shal
here
commend
,
and
put
an
end
to
the
Chapter
:
Take

CHAP.
LXXI
.
Of
the
Green-sicknesse
.
THis
Disease
is
called
by
some
,
the
Virgins
Disease
,
the
white
Feaver
,
the
white
Jaundice
,
but
vulgarly
the
Green-sicknesse
.
It
is
an
evill
habit
of
the
Body
,
proceeding
from
the
Obstruction
of
the
Veins
about
the
Womb
,
Liver
,
Spleen
,
and
Mesentery
,
causing
a
heavinesse
&
unweildinesse
of
the
whole
Body
,
difficulty
of
Breathing
,
panting
of
the
Heart
,
and
Head-Ach
,
a
desire
after
Food
that
is
evil
,
and
a
loathing
of
good
.
The
Veins
about
the
Womb
being
obstructed
,
that
Blood
,
which
Nature
hath
ordained
to
go
thither
,
having
not
free
passage
,
runs
upwards
,
and
oppresseth
the
Heart
,
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Diaphragma
,
stops
the
Vessels
,
and
destroys
the
naturall
Heat
;
hence
it
cometh
to
passe
that
the
Stomach
and
Bowels
cannot
concoct
well
as
they
ought
to
do
,
so
Crudityes
are
dispersed
throughout
the
body
,
and
make
an
evill
Habit.
Sometimes
,
by
this
means
,
the
Hypocondria
is
swelled
,
which
depressing
the
Diaphragma
,
causeth
Shortnesse
of
Breath
.
This
grosse
Blood
being
carried
in
the
great
Artery
to
the
Heart
,
which
,
least
it
should
be
suffocated
by
it
,
labours
for
its
deliverance
,
&
often
moving
of
its
Arteryes
,
causeth
a
Palpitation
,
and
Beating
of
the
Temples
.
The
Stomach
,
by
this
means
,
being
filled
with
Crudityes
and
excrementitious
Humours
,
causeth
a
Loathing
of
Food
,
and
a
desire
after
such
things
,
which
ought
not
to
be
eaten
,
as
Salt
,
Chalk
,
Coals
,
Ashes
,
Oat-meal
,
Wheat
,
Tobacco-Pipes
,
&c.
which
Disease
is
called
Pica
Malacia
,
and
we
have
spoken
of
it
in
the
35
Chapter
of
this
Book
.
This
Obstruction
is
caused
many
wayes
,
as
drinking
cold
Drink
to
Bedward
;
eating
raw
or
unripe
Fruits
:
Some
go
to
Feasts
,
and
upon
a
full
Stomach
,
dancing
and
sporting
all
Night
,
disturb
the
naturall
Frame
of
the
Body
,
and
want
Rest
:
others
sleep
too
much
,
and
sit
long
at
their
work
,
as
Seamsters
,
Bonelace-makers
,
and
the
like
.
By
these
and
the
like
means
,
Concoction
is
hurt
,
the
naturall
Heat
is
extinguished
,
and
the
Body
filled
with
crude
Excrements
and
thick
slimy
Humours
,
which
cause
Obstructions
.
This
Disease
is
easily
known
,
and
you
may
know
the
diseased
,
if
you
do
but
veiw
their
Faces
,
which
are
pale
and
white
,
sometimes
of
a
Lead
colour
,
blew
or
green
,
the
Face
and
Eye-lids
,
the
Legs
and
Feet
,
swelled
.
The
whole
Body
is
unweildy
and
lazy
.
When
the
body
is
stirred
by
Exercise
,
or
Walking
,
especially
going
up
a
hill
or
steep
place
,
there
followeth
Palpitation
of
the
Heart
,
and
Shortnesse
of
Breath
,
Beating
in
the
Temples
,
and
great
Head-Ach
;
behind
,
if
the
Womb
be
obstructed
,
before
,
if
the
Hypocondria
be
afflicted
:
there
is
great
loathing
of
wholesome
Meat
,
and
desiring
the
contrary
:
the
Pulfe
is
swift
and
quick
as
in
a
Feaver
,
and
when
the
Disease
comes
to
the
hight
,
the
Terms
are
stopped
.
This
Disease
continueth
a
long
time
,
yet
is
seldom
dangerous
;
sometimes
,
by
long
continuance
,
it
breeds
Corruption
in
the
naturall
parts
,
Dropsyes
,
Feavers
,
Consumptions
,
which
end
in
Death
.
If
the
Veins
of
the
Womb
onely
are
obstructed
,
a
Husband
will
cure
her
.
Women
,
that
have
a
long
time
been
in
this
condition
,
bring
forth
weak
and
sickly
Children
,
and
sometimes
they
are
barren
.
This
Disease
is
cured
by
opening
the
Obstructions
,
evacuating
the
filthy
Humours
,
and
strengthning
of
the
parts
.
The
Obstructions
are
opened
,
by
such
Medicines
as
are
mentioned
in
the
cure
of
the
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
;
you
may
add
to
them
such
things
which
respect
the
Womb
,
as
Mugwort
,
Fetherfew
,
Pennyroyall
,
&c.
If
the
Spleen
be
obstructed
,
add
such
things
which
are
proper
for
that
,
as
Caper-bark
,
Ceterack
,
Spleenwort
,
&c.
Open
the
Saphaena
or
Ancle-Vein
,
but
first
,
if
the
Maid
be
full
of
Blood
,
open
a
Vein
in
the
Arm.
Then
purge
often
with
such
Medicines
as
are
prescribed
in
the
Cure
aforenamed
:
and
make
use
of
such
Medicines
as
powerfully
open
Obstructions
there
prescribed
.
Zacutus
Lusitanus
doth
much
commend
the
Conserve
of
Mugwort
,
given
thirty
dayes
together
,
drinking
after
it
a
little
of
the
distilled
Water
of
Savin
,
in
which
Rubarb
hath
been
infused
.
The
Salt
of
Mugwort
is
very
good
,
and
Faecula
Brioniae
,
mixed
with
the
Conserve
,
hath
an
effectuall
and
powerfull
operation
.
If
the
Obstructions
are
stubborn
and
not
easily
opened
,
make
a
Bath
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Marsh-Mallows
,
Briony
,
Elder
,
and
Lillyes
,
of
each
,
two
pound
:
Balm
,
Fethersew
,
Mallows
,
Mercury
,
Maddir
,
Mugmort
,
Nep
,
Pennyrorall
,
and
Violets
,
of
each
,
three
Handfulls
:
the
Seed
of
Flax
and
Fenugreek
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
;
boil
them
in
a
sufficient
.
Quantity
of
Water
,
and
let
the
Patient
bathe
her self
in
the
Morning
and
Evening
,
two
dayes
,
&
let
the
Decoction
be
renewed
the
second
day
.
The
next
day
,
open
the
Vein
under
the
Ancle
,
if
the
Terms
be
stopped
,
(
as
,
for
the
most
part
,
they
are
in
this
Disease
,
)
then
give
Medicines
that
powerfully
open
Obstructions
:
when
you
find
that
the
Obstructions
are
opened
,
which
you
may
easily
perceive
by
the
decay
of
the
aforenamed
Symptoms
,
then
you
must
discusse
the
peccant
Humours
,
that
remain
in
the
Veins
and
other
parts
of
the
Body
,
by
Sweats
;
for
which
you
must
use
the
Decoction
of
Guajacum
in
cold
constitutions
;
or
of
China
and
Sarfa
in
those
that
are
hot
.
In
the
mean
while
,
every
fourth
or
fifth
day
,
give
a
purge
to
cleanse
the
Body
of
the
crude
Humours
,
which
cannot
be
sent
forth
by
Sweat
.
CHAP.
LXXII
.
Of
the
Stoppage
of
the
Terms
.
MEnsium
Suppressio
or
the
Terms
stopped
,
is
when
a
Woman
of
ripe
Age
,
hath
little
or
no
Evacuation
of
Blood
by
the
Womb
,
once
in
a
Month
,
yet
gives
not
suck
,
nor
is
with
Child
.
Divers
Diseases
of
the
Womb
may
cause
this
Suppression
,
viz.
A
cold
and
dry
Distemper
,
which
thickneth
and
bindeth
the
Womb.
A
hot
and
dry
Distemper
dryeth
the
part
.
Inflammation
,
Tumor
,
Ulcer
,
or
Erosion
of
the
mouths
of
the
Vessels
in
Abortion
;
or
Tumor
in
the
adjacent
parts
,
by
compression
,
may
cause
this
Stoppage
.
The
Vessels
of
the
Womb
may
be
obstructed
by
thick
and
phlegmatick
Humours
,
or
they
may
be
compressed
by
a
Tumor
in
the
parts
adjacent
.
The
cause
may
be
in
the
Blood
,
when
it
offends
in
Quantity
,
Quality
,
or
Motion
;
in
Quantity
,
when
there
is
too
much
Blood
,
which
doth
so
dilate
the
Vessels
,
that
they
cannot
contract
to
expell
it
:
too
little
,
when
the
Body
hath
not
enough
for
its
Nourishment
.
It
offendeth
in
Quality
,
when
the
Blood
is
thick
,
slimy
,
and
viscuous
,
by
some
cold
Distemper
of
the
Liver
,
or
by
the
mixture
of
such
Humours
with
the
Blood
.
It
offends
in
Motion
,
when
it
flows
some
other
way
,
as
by
the
Haemorrhoids
,
by
Urine
,
the
Nose
,
Vomiting
,
and
by
Spitting
,
and
many
other
wayes
.
Riverius
saith
,
that
he
saw
a
Maid
which
had
a
sore
Head
which
opened
once
a
month
and
bled
plentifully
,
and
I
know
a
Maid
in
the
same
Condition
at
this
time
.
Externall
causes
are
,
taking
cold
in
the
time
of
the
Flux
:
eating
things
of
a
very
hot
Nature
,
by
which
the
Substance
of
the
Liver
is
dryed
:
or
Food
that
is
cold
,
thick
,
and
astringent
,
especially
,
at
the
time
of
Purgation
,
eating
too
much
or
too
little
:
by
too
long
retaining
of
Excrements
;
by
bleeding
at
the
Nose
,
or
any
unnatural
Evacuation
by
Vomit
,
Seige
,
Urine
,
or
Sweat
.
To
these
add
the
externall
Causes
mentioned
in
the
Chapter
aforegoing
Of
the
Green-Sicknesse
.
This
Disease
is
known
by
the
Patient's
Relation
,
but
it
is
convenient
to
distinguish
between
this
kind
of
Suppression
,
and
that
which
is
common
to
Women
with
Child
.
They
who
have
their
Menstrues
thus
stopped
,
are
pale
and
more
discoloured
,
then
those
who
are
with
Child
.
They
who
are
in
this
condition
,
the
longer
it
continues
,
the
more
the
Symptoms
encrease
;
the
contrary
you
shall
find
in
Women
with
Child
.
They
are
likewise
more
sad
and
melancholy
then
those
,
who
are
with
Child
.
In
these
the
lower
Belly
,
though
it
swell
,
yet
it
is
not
so
hard
nor
proportionable
to
the
Womb.
And
,
Lastly
,
an
expert
Midwife
may
distinguish
it
by
the
mouth
of
the
Womb
;
for
in
these
the
mouth
of
the
Womb
is
not
so
close
shut
,
as
in
a
Woman
with
Child
,
but
rather
hard
and
painfull
.
More
particularly
,
the
Stoppage
of
the
Vessels
of
the
Womb
are
known
by
a
pain
in
the
Loins
,
especially
,
when
the
Terms
should
flow
,
and
if
any
thing
issueth
,
it
will
be
white
,
or
blackish
and
slimy
.
If
the
parts
adjacent
be
obstructed
,
the
Veins
in
the
Thighs
&
Arms
,
by
abundance
of
Blood
,
are
swollen
:
especially
,
if
the
Woman
be
fleshy
,
plethorick
,
and
hath
fed
high
.
Or
else
the
Woman
wanteth
Blood
.
Or
the
Blood
is
corrupted
,
which
you
may
perceive
by
the
evill
habit
of
the
Body
,
and
some
Disease
of
the
Liver
.
If
the
Blood
hath
a
praeposterous
Motion
,
or
flow
some
other
way
,
it
is
manifest
.
The
Stoppage
of
the
Terms
is
very
dangerous
,
and
many
(
I
had
almost
said
,
all
)
Diseases
may
come
thereof
.
It
is
lest
dangerous
if
it
come
by
reason
of
too
much
Blood
.
It
is
worst
,
which
cometh
by
Streightnesse
of
the
Vessels
,
or
crude
and
slimy
Humours
,
which
obstruct
them
.
The
Cure
consisteth
in
this
generally
;
If
too
much
Blood
be
the
cause
,
abate
the
Quantity
by
Phlebotomy
,
first
,
in
the
Arm
,
then
in
the
lower
Veins
.
Then
,
by
Fomentations
,
soften
and
relax
the
parts
about
the
Womb
;
and
give
such
Purges
as
do
properly
provoke
the
Terms
.
If
you
find
that
Want
of
Blood
is
the
cause
of
the
Obstruction
,
use
Restoratives
in
the
first
place
,
and
whatever
you
find
to
be
the
cause
of
Extenuation
,
let
that
be
removed
;
and
if
you
find
a
praeposterous
Motion
of
the
Blood
,
labour
to
repell
it
,
and
drive
it
to
the
Passage
of
the
Womb.
But
seeing
that
(
for
the
most
part
)
this
Obstruction
is
in
the
Veins
of
the
Womb
,
you
may
follow
the
same
Rule
in
cure
,
prescribed
,
in
the
Chap:
Of
the
Green
sicknesse
,
adding
such
things
which
more
especially
respect
the
Womb.
Purge
thus
:
Take
of
Aloes
,
three
Drachms
:
the
Masse
of
Cochy
Pills
,
one
Drachm
;
with
the
Juyce
of
Savin
(
or
Sirrup
of
Mugwort
)
make
twenty
Pills
;
and
give
three
in
the
Morning
every
third
day
.
Emollient
Clisters
are
likewise
of
great
use
.
After
Phlebotomy
,
and
sufficient
purging
,
give
such
things
as
powerfully
open
Obstructions
,
such
as
are
prescribed
in
the
cure
of
Obstructions
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
:
to
these
add
Medicines
made
of
the
Roots
of
Asparagus
,
Parsly
,
Fennel
,
Smallage
,
Maddir
,
Elicampane
,
Birth-Wort
,
Angelica
,
Cyperus
;
the
leavs
of
Wormwood
,
Calamint
,
Camomill
,
Origan
,
Southern-wood
,
Mugwort
,
Pennyroyall
,
Hyssop
,
Hore-Hound
,
Rue
,
Motherwort
,
Sage
,
Fether-few
,
Maiden-hair
,
Nep
,
and
Savin
:
the
seeds
of
Smallage
,
Parsly
,
Fennel
,
Juniper
,
Bayes
,
Annis
,
Cummin
,
Nettles
,
and
such
like
;
of
these
may
be
made
Decoctions
,
or
distilled
Waters
,
Sitrups
,
and
the
like
,
which
I
omit
,
fearing
my
Book
will
swell
to
a
farr
bigger
volume
then
I
intended
.
Of
these
or
such
like
you
may
make
a
Bath
for
the
Patient
to
sit
in
,
afterwards
anoint
the
Share
,
&
parts
about
the
Privities
,
with
the
Oyl
of
Dill
,
Rue
,
Lillyes
,
&c.
You
may
,
likewise
,
make
dry
Suffumigations
,
with
Castor
,
Storax
,
Galbanum
,
Cinnamon
,
Frankincense
,
Bdellium
,
Benzoins
,
Lignum
Aloes
,
Cloves
,
and
Mace
.
Or
you
may
make
Pessaries
,
with
the
masse
of
Cochy
pills
,
&
Hony
,
and
the
Juyce
of
Mercury
.
Or
with
Hiera
Picra
,
and
Benedicta
Laxativa
,
with
the
Hony
and
Juyce
aforesaid
:
but
this
remember
,
that
Pessaryes
must
be
applyed
to
married
Women
onely
.
If
the
Disease
be
inveterate
,
let
Issues
be
made
in
the
Legs
,
and
after
the
menstrual
Flux
is
obtained
,
let
them
be
dryed
up
again
.
CHAP.
LXXIII
.
Of
the
immoderate
Menstruall
Flux
.
Mensium
Fluxus
Immodicus
,
is
when
the
monthly
Terms
do
exceed
in
Quantity
,
come
too
often
,
or
stay
too
long
.
This
is
caused
by
an
opening
of
the
Veins
,
either
by
Abundance
,
Heat
,
Sharpnesse
,
or
Thinnesse
of
the
Blood
,
or
by
some
Blow
,
Fall
,
or
Wound
:
to
understand
the
Cause
more
fully
,
have
recourse
to
the
19
and
30
Chapters
,
Of
bleeding
at
the
Nose
,
and
spitting
of
Blood
.
The
Disease
it self
may
be
known
by
the
Patient's
information
,
and
the
Symptoms
which
follow
,
viz.
decay
of
Strength
and
Appetite
,
an
ill
habit
of
the
Body
,
by
reason
of
ill
Digestion
,
Swelling
of
the
Legs
,
and
a
Leady
coloured
Complexion
.
To
know
the
Causes
,
observe
,
that
a
thin
habit
of
the
Body
,
with
a
Diet
,
which
doth
encrease
thin
and
wheyish
Blood
;
or
you
may
perceive
the
thin
and
wheyish
Humours
in
the
Blood
,
which
cometh
from
the
Patient
,
this
sheweth
that
the
Blood
soaketh
thorough
the
Veins
.
If
the
Coats
or
Ends
of
the
Veins
be
broken
,
the
Patient
hath
had
soule
Wound
,
Bruise
,
or
Fall
,
or
used
some
immoderate
Labour
,
Excercise
,
or
Venery
;
hath
indured
too
great
Heat
or
Cold
:
or
she
hath
had
a
hard
bargain
in
Child-birth
,
a
Miscarriage
,
or
been
handled
by
an
unskilfull
Midwife
.
If
there
be
an
Exulceration
in
the
Womb
,
by
which
the
Veins
are
eaten
thorough
,
the
Blood
droppeth
by
little
and
little
,
with
Pain
and
Sharpnesse
:
the
Patient's
Body
is
afflicted
with
sharp
and
cholerick
Humours
:
the
Blood
,
which
issueth
,
is
at
first
matterish
,
wheyish
,
blackish
,
or
yellow
:
If
it
encrease
,
the
Ends
of
the
Veins
come
with
the
Blood
,
and
the
Flux
encreaseth
,
and
is
hard
to
be
stopped
.
Prognosticks
are
;
All
long
and
lasting
Issues
of
Blood
are
dangerous
,
especially
those
of
the
Womb
;
that
which
comes
by
soaking
thorough
the
Veins
,
though
it
continueth
longer
,
yet
the
Blood
and
Spirits
do
not
so
much
decay
,
therefore
it
is
not
so
dangerous
.
On
the
contrary
,
the
breaking
of
the
Veins
cause
more
danger
because
of
the
sudden
issuing
of
Blood
,
yet
is
sooner
cured
,
because
the
Patient
hath
Strength
and
Store
of
Blood
.
But
of
all
the
other
that
which
comes
from
Exulceration
is
most
dangerous
,
because
some
part
of
the
Veins
is
perished
,
which
letteth
out
the
Blood
in
great
abundance
,
and
is
very
difficult
to
be
cured
.
If
she
grow
weaker
,
and
the
Issue
more
violent
,
there
is
danger
of
Death
;
in
elderly
Women
,
it
is
hard
to
be
cured
.
Since
the
Cure
must
be
performed
in
the
same
manner
(
almost
)
as
is
praescribed
in
the
51
Chapter
Of
the
immoderate
Flux
of
the
Haemorrhoids
,
I
shall
say
the
lesse
.
First
open
a
vein
in
the
Arm
,
and
let
her
bleed
much
by
degrees
.
Use
Frictions
and
Ligatures
;
and
fasten
Cupping-Glasses
to
her
dugs
,
as
Hippocrates
adviseth
.
Purge
with
the
same
Medicines
prescribed
in
the
Chapter
aforegoing
.
Also
Vomits
are
good
,
for
they
draw
the
Blood
upwards
,
and
Hippocrates
,
treating
of
Womens
Diseases
,
doth
much
commend
them
.
Then
make
use
of
this
Powder
,
much
commended
by
Johannes
Michael
Paschalius
,
and
it
is
thus
prepared
:
Take
the
Shells
of
two
new
layd
Eggs
burnt
;
Frankin-cense
,
Mastick
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Pearls
and
red
Corall
prepared
,
and
Amber
,
of
each
,
two
drachms
:
Hamatites
and
Emerald
,
of
each
,
half
a
Scruple
:
Barly
meal
fine
sifted
,
two
Pugills
:
the
Whites
of
four
Eggs
,
and
chalybiated
Water
,
enough
to
make
the
Powder
into
two
Cakes
;
bake
them
in
an
Oven
,
so
hard
,
that
they
may
be
beaten
to
Powder
;
give
,
of
this
Powder
,
half
a
Drachm
,
or
a
Drachm
in
the
Morning
,
in
Broth
made
of
Sheeps
feet
or
Calves
feet
.
The
Juyce
of
Plantane
,
Yarrow
,
Nettles
,
Shepherds
Purse
,
Knot-grasse
,
Comphry
,
and
Hors-tail
,
is
very
good
,
or
a
Sirrup
made
of
all
or
either
of
them
is
much
,
and
upon
good
grounds
,
commended
.
Milk
,
in
which
red
hot
Steel
hath
been
quenched
,
allayeth
the
Sharpnesse
of
the
Humours
,
and
stayeth
the
Flux
.
Spiknard
,
in
fine
Powder
inwardly
taken
,
or
applyed
to
the
Womb
upon
a
little
Lint
,
hath
been
much
approved
of
.
Minerall
Waters
,
which
receive
their
Tincture
from
Vitriol
,
Iron
,
or
Allum
,
do
remove
the
Cause
and
strengthen
the
Part.
The
Chymists
do
much
commend
the
Tincture
of
Corall
,
and
vitriolated
Steel
.
Before
you
go
farther
take
this
necessary
Caution
,
that
you
do
not
altogether
give
strong
astringents
,
but
sometimes
Medicines
which
strengthen
the
Liver
,
and
somewhat
bind
.
Outwardly
foment
upon
her
Loins
,
Share
,
and
about
the
Privityes
,
with
a
fomentation
made
of
the
aforegoing
Herbs
.
Then
anoint
the
parts
aforesaid
with
the
Oyl
of
Myrtles
,
Mastick
,
and
Quinces
:
or
make
an
Ointment
more
astringent
.
adding
,
Frankincense
,
Dragon's
Blood
,
Sealed
Earth
,
Bolearmenick
,
and
the
like
.
Unguentum
Comitissae
is
very
powerfull
in
this
Distemper
.
Afterwards
apply
a
Plaister
to
the
Navel
and
Loins
,
Emplastrum
ad
Herniam
,
Hystericum
,
or
Emplastrum
de
Mastich
,
either
of
these
;
or
all
three
are
very
effectuall
.
Likewise
dry
Fumes
,
Pessaryes
,
and
Injections
,
for
the
Womb
,
may
be
prepared
of
the
aforenamed
Herbs
and
other
astringent
Simples
.
When
she
is
cured
,
you
must
endeavour
to
prevent
the
Disease
for
the
future
,
by
the
Rules
prescribed
in
the
51
Chapter
,
Of
the
Immoderate
Flux
of
the
Haemorrhoids
.
CHAP.
LXXIV
.
Of
the
Whites
.
THis
Disease
is
called
the
Flux
of
the
Womb
,
the
Woman's
Flux
,
and
the
Whites
;
and
it
is
an
excrementitious
Humour
,
flowing
from
the
Womb
,
sometimes
white
,
and
sometimes
watry
,
sometimes
mixed
with
yellow
,
green
,
or
black
,
according
to
the
Nature
of
the
Humour
.
Women
are
subject
principally
to
this
Distemper
,
and
sometimes
Maids
,
though
some
have
affirmed
the
contrary
,
and
condemned
them
as
unchaste
,
yet
according
to
the
opinion
of
the
wisest
Physitians
,
the
purest
Virgins
may
have
this
Infirmity
,
and
their
opinion
is
confirmed
daily
by
Experience
.
These
Humours
are
bred
in
the
whole
Body
,
or
in
some
particular
part
,
or
in
the
Womb
it self
.
They
are
bred
in
the
whole
Body
,
either
by
ill
Diet
,
or
a
vicious
habituall
Distemper
.
The
particular
parts
may
be
,
the
Brain
,
Stomach
,
Liver
,
or
Spleen
.
These
Humours
may
be
bred
in
the
Womb
,
by
a
cold
or
hot
Distemper
therein
;
the
cold
maketh
it
unable
to
digest
its
Nourishment
,
and
the
hot
Distemper
corrupteth
it
,
hence
cometh
this
excrementitious
Humour
.
Child-bearing
,
Abortion
,
Contusion
,
Inflammation
,
Imposthume
,
or
Ulcer
in
the
Womb
may
weaken
the
part
and
dispose
it
to
breed
and
receive
such
Humours
.
This
Disease
is
known
by
the
relation
of
the
Patient
;
from
what
part
it
cometh
is
thus
known
:
If
the
whole
Body
send
this
Humour
to
the
Womb
,
the
whole
Body
appeareth
in
an
evill
State
,
is
weary
and
heavy
,
as
if
the
Patient
were
weary
with
hard
labour
,
and
by
this
Flux
her
Body
is
at
present
refreshed
;
the
Hands
and
Feet
are
puffed
up
,
with
a
great
itching
and
stinging
,
if
the
Humour
be
cholerick
.
If
it
come
from
some
peculiar
part
,
the
Symptomes
and
Excrements
proper
to
that
part
appear
.
If
it
come
onely
from
the
Womb
,
something
hath
happened
,
which
hath
hurt
the
Womb
,
as
a
Fall
or
Blow
upon
the
Back
or
Belly
,
immoderate
carnall
Embracements
,
especially
if
the
Woman
be
young
,
or
any
Disease
of
the
Womb.
Signes
,
that
distinguish
between
this
Disease
and
an
Ulcer
in
the
Womb
,
or
Gonorrhaea
,
are
these
:
If
there
be
an
Ulcer
in
the
Womb
,
that
which
floweth
is
more
digested
,
mattery
,
mixed
with
Blood
and
stringy
,
and
cometh
with
pain
;
and
the
Woman
admits
not
of
Copulation
without
pain
.
In
the
Gonorrhaea
the
Matter
comes
in
a
small
Quantity
,
and
seldom
,
and
is
of
a
shining
Whitenesse
.
But
if
it
be
a
Gonorrhaea
which
is
gotten
by
acting
with
an
unclean
Person
,
then
is
the
Womb
ulcerated
,
the
Urine
sharp
,
and
many
other
malignant
Symptomes
.
This
Disease
is
not
dangerous
,
but
is
hard
to
be
cured
,
for
it
is
hard
to
divert
the
Humours
from
this
Channell
,
it
being
the
Sink
of
the
Body
,
through
which
the
superfluous
Humours
of
a
healthy
Body
,
are
every
Month
evacuated
.
That
which
is
blewish
,
green
,
black
,
and
stinking
is
worse
then
that
,
which
is
pale
,
white
,
and
doth
not
stink
.
This
Disease
is
seldom
cured
in
old
Women
,
because
they
abound
in
Phlegm
.
Lastly
,
by
its
continuance
it
may
breed
great
evills
,
as
Barrennesse
,
Falling
out
of
the
Woฬb
,
evill
habit
in
the
whole
Body
,
and
Consumption
.
To
cure
,
the
Humour
offended
must
be
purged
with
convenient
Medicines
;
and
because
Phlegm
for
the
most
part
is
the
Humour
peccant
,
purge
with
such
Medicines
as
principally
purge
Phlegm
,
with
which
mix
such
as
purge
the
Humour
mixed
.
Vomits
(
if
the
Patient
be
strong
)
are
good
,
because
they
empty
the
Stomach
of
excrementitious
Humours
,
and
do
powerfully
revell
the
Humours
from
the
Womb.
After
sufficient
Evacuations
,
let
the
Patient
take
sweating
Decoctions
,
made
of
Lignum
Vitae
and
Sassafras
,
if
the
Patient
be
phlegmatick
;
of
China
and
Sarsa
,
if
she
be
cholerick
or
melancholy
.
Also
Sweat
procured
by
sulphurous
Baths
,
is
kind
.
Milk
wherein
Steel
hath
been
quenched
is
very
good
,
and
it
will
be
more
powerfull
it
a
little
Bolearmenick
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
and
Terra
Sigillata
,
be
given
with
it
.
Among
a
multiplicity
of
Medicines
,
which
are
astringont
and
proper
for
this
Diseale
,
I
shall
insert
but
one
or
two
.
Zecheus
doth
highly
commend
this
following
Electuary
:
Take
of
Gum
Arabick
and
Gum
Tragant
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
Corall
of
both
sorts
,
Eg-shells
burnt
,
Harts-horn
,
Dill
Seeds
,
Amber
,
of
each
,
four
Scruples
:
Hony
of
Roses
,
as
much
as
will
make
into
it
an
Electuary
;
give
half
an
Ounce
in
the
Morning
and
fast
two
howers
after
it
.
This
Julep
I
have
found
of
great
virtue
:
Take
of
the
distilled
Water
of
Plantane
,
red
Roses
,
Oak
Leavs
,
and
Knot
grasse
,
of
each
,
four
Ounces
;
infuse
therein
,
a
whole
Night
,
of
the
Flowers
of
Comphry
,
Buglosse
,
and
red
Roses
,
of
each
,
one
Pugill
:
strain
them
out
,
and
make
it
sharp
with
Oyl
of
Vitriol
;
with
the
Sirrup
of
Comphry
and
red
Roses
,
make
a
Julep
for
four
or
five
Mornings
Draughts
.
Whatever

CHAP.
LXXV
.
Of
the
Mother
.
THis
Disease
is
called
,
the
Hystericall
passion
,
Uteri
Strangulatio
,
by
the
Greeks
,
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
we
call
it
the
Mother
and
Strangling
of
the
Womb.
It
is
caused
by
the
Seed
,
menstruall
Blood
,
or
other
excrementitious
Humors
,
retained
besides
the
intent
of
Nature
,
in
the
Womb
,
and
there
putrified
and
corrupted
,
breedeth
venemous
and
,
malignant
Vapours
,
which
arising
doth
afflict
divers
parts
of
the
Body
.
Now
these
Vapours
do
not
alwayes
afflict
,
but
when
they
are
stirred
up
by
some
cause
;
(
the
most
noted
are
,
sweet
odours
,
sweet
meats
eaten
,
anger
,
terror
,
and
grievous
passions
of
the
mind
;
these
and
such
like
bring
Women
,
subject
to
this
Infirmity
,
into
their
Fits
,
wherein
their
breathing
is
impaired
,
sometimes
(
to
appearance
)
abolished
,
the
Body
becomes
cold
,
their
Speech
gone
,
and
Pulse
intercepted
;
so
that
they
ly
for
dead
,
and
sometimes
have
been
laid
out
for
burial
,
and
yet
have
revived
.
Sometimes
these
choaking
Fits
are
not
so
extream
,
yet
is
accompanied
with
other
hystericall
Symptomes
,
as
Vomitings
,
Ravings
,
Convulsions
,
Swoonings
,
and
the
like
.
Sometimes
the
Patient
feeleth
herself
,
as
it
were
,
choaked
by
an
halter
or
rope
,
this
is
caused
by
abundance
of
Vapours
and
Winds
ascending
from
the
Womb
,
(
sometimes
seconded
by
hypocondriack
Melancholy
)
which
Vapours
,
compressing
the
Diaphragma
and
Lungs
,
hinder
Respiration
,
and
the
Patient
feeleth
herself
as
it
were
strangled
.
Others
will
have
it
proceed
from
the
Nature
of
the
malignant
Vapours
,
whose
property
is
to
cause
Suffocation
.
Sometimes
she
loseth
her
Breath
without
pain
or
sense
of
Strangling
,
by
reason
of
the
stupefactive
Power
of
these
Vapours
,
which
taketh
away
the
vitall
Action
from
the
Heart
,
and
so
hindreth
Respiration
:
For
Nature
having
ordained
the
drawing
of
Breath
to
cool
the
Heart
,
and
the
Heart
is
extreamly
cooled
by
these
venemous
Vapours
,
having
no
need
of
the
cool
Air
,
Breathing
ceaseth
:
For
the
vitall
Spirits
being
destroyed
,
the
Animall
,
which
are
made
of
them
must
needs
lose
their
functions
;
We
may
also
say
that
these
venemous
and
stupisying
Vapours
do
fly
up
and
assault
the
Brain
,
and
hinder
the
Influx
of
the
animall
Spirits
,
whereby
the
Motion
of
the
Diaphragma
and
the
Muscles
,
which
serve
for
Respiration
,
are
hindered
.
Likewise
the
Womb
being
filled
with
these
flatuous
Vapours
,
doth
ascend
towards
the
upper
parts
,
as
it
were
,
by
a
convulsive
Motion
,
which
causeth
a
Compression
of
the
Midriff
and
Muscles
of
Respiration
.
Sometimes
these
sharp
and
malignant
Vapours
ascend
to
the
Head
,
and
disperse
themselves
into
the
membranous
parts
,
and
cause
divers
pains
,
pricking
and
smarting
,
and
sometimes
stretching
and
swelling
;
sometimes
they
cause
pains
beating
like
the
Pulse
.
Sometimes
the
Falling-Sicknesse
cometh
from
the
Womb
,
by
reason
of
sharp
and
malignant
Vapours
,
which
having
gotten
a
powerfull
Acrimony
,
do
sharply
smite
the
nervous
parts
.
These
Vapours
assaulting
the
Heart
,
the
Heart
laboureth
to
expell
them
,
hence
ariseth
Palpitation
.
Likewise
it
causeth
a
great
Pulsation
in
the
Back
.
The
Stomach
doth
oftentimes
suffer
much
by
this
Distemper
,
according
to
the
Nature
of
the
Humours
afflicting
,
or
part
of
the
Stomach
it
gets
possession
of
;
as
Want
of
Appetite
,
or
a
depraved
Appetite
,
that
is
,
destring
Food
which
Nature
disdains
,
as
Coals
,
Chalk
,
&c.
Loathing
of
Meat
,
Vomiting
,
Belching
,
Hiccough
,
and
pain
in
the
Stomach
.
If
,
in
the
Womb
,
menstruall
Blood
is
retained
,
it
floweth
back
by
the
Voins
into
the
Liver
,
from
thence
shed
abroad
into
the
whole
Body
,
hence
cometh
Swelling
,
Feavers
,
and
other
Diseases
.
If
it
flows
back
to
the
Spleen
,
Swelling
,
Stopping
,
Melancholy
,
and
hypocondriacal
Diseases
are
bred
.
Lastly
,
Women
have
pains
in
their
Loins
,
Thighs
,
and
other
parts
,
which
are
caused
by
these
Vapours
conveighed
from
the
Womb.
Therefore
,
to
know
this
from
other
pains
,
mark
well
the
Signes
of
this
Disease
.
Much
may
be
gathered
from
what
huth
already
been
said
,
remembring
this
,
you
must
not
expect
all
the
Symptomes
in
one
,
but
some
in
one
,
and
some
in
another
,
the
Breathing
faileth
,
Sense
of
Strangling
,
Coldnesse
of
the
Body
,
the
Pulse
ceaseth
,
and
the
like
,
which
I
have
mentioned
before
.
There
goeth
before
the
Fit
a
Noise
in
the
Belly
below
the
Navill
,
Belching
,
Inclination
to
Vomit
,
Wearinesse
,
Stretching
,
the
Face
pale
and
wan
.
As
it
gathers
Strength
it
bringeth
Suffocation
or
Choaking
,
afterwards
all
the
vitall
&
animall
Actions
are
depraved
,
diminished
,
and
,
as
it
were
,
abolished
,
the
Womb
may
be
felt
in
divers
parts
of
the
lower
Belly
,
gathered
round
like
a
Ball
,
tossing
and
tumbling
to
and
fro
.
When
the
Fit
begins
to
be
over
,
a
moist
Humour
floweth
out
of
the
Womb
,
the
Body
beginneth
to
be
warm
,
they
have
a
Colour
in
their
Face
,
they
open
their
Eyes
,
they
sigh
,
they
begin
to
move
,
and
so
by
degrees
are
freed
from
the
Fit
.
Signs
of
the
Causes
are
thus
known
;
If
the
Seed
corrupting
in
the
Womb
hath
been
the
Cause
,
there
hath
preceded
those
things
,
which
might
gather
together
or
excrease
Seed
,
and
cerrupt
it
in
the
Womb
;
as
flourishing
Age
,
high
keeping
,
and
an
idle
life
,
Sanguine
Complexion
and
ripe
for
Generation
;
or
one
formerly
accustomed
to
the
Actions
of
Generation
and
left
it
of
:
if
any
such
fall
into
this
Disease
,
and
have
their
monthly
Purgation
well
,
you
may
judge
that
Corruption
of
Seed
is
the
Cause
.
If
it
come
from
the
Putrefaction
of
menstruous
Blood
,
the
Menstrues
are
stopped
,
or
come
not
down
well
,
and
the
Woman
wanteth
no
carnall
Embracements
.
If
evill
Humours
be
the
Cause
,
the
Woman
enjoyeth
camall
Excercise
,
and
hath
her
monthly
Purgation
,
but
her
Body
is
full
of
evill
Humours
.
Prognosticks
we
make
thus
:
This
Disease
is
seldom
mortall
,
but
of
long
continuance
;
the
Patient
is
in
great
danger
if
it
continue
long
,
because
Respiration
being
so
often
hurt
,
there
is
danger
that
the
native
Heat
be
suffocated
.
Young
Women
when
they
come
to
bear
Children
,
for
the
most
part
they
are
cured
:
Old
women
are
seldome
or
never
cured
.
To
women
with
Child
it
is
very
dangerous
,
and
threatneth
Miscarriage
:
To
Women
lying
in
,
as
dangerous
by
reason
of
their
Weaknesse
.
It
is
good
for
a
Woman
to
sneez
in
the
Fits
,
for
it
signifyeth
Strength
of
the
Brain
,
and
it
disperseth
the
Vapours
from
the
Brain
.
I
shall
lay
down
a
few
Rules
,
first
,
to
give
present
ease
in
the
Fit
;
secondly
,
to
give
perfect
Cure
.
First
,
lay
her
down
in
such
a
posture
,
that
her
Neck
and
Shoulders
may
ly
high
,
her
Thighs
and
Privities
low
,
shooting
downwards
,
that
so
the
Womb
may
be
the
better
reduced
.
Let
her
lower
parts
be
rubbed
and
bound
so
hard
as
to
cause
pain
.
And
if
her
Fit
be
inveterate
,
apply
Cupping-Glasses
to
her
Hips
and
Share
.
If
she
swoon
,
rub
the
Bottoms
of
her
Feet
with
Vinegar
and
Salt
,
and
course
Cloths
.
Hollow
in
her
Ears
,
and
bend
her
Fingers
,
and
if
need
require
apply
Epispastick
Cataplasms
to
her
Feet
.
Put
strong
and
stinking
things
under
her
Nose
,
as
Leather
and
Fethers
burnt
,
Brimstone
fited
,
Assafaetida
,
Castoreum
,
and
the
like
.
But
take
this
Caution
,
carefully
to
distinguish
between
this
Disease
and
the
Falling-Sicknesse
,
for
in
the
latter
such
Smells
are
hurtfull
.
The
Warts
that
grow
upon
a
Horses
Legs
being
dryed
and
powdered
and
a
Fume
made
thereof
,
under
the
Patient's
Nose
,
is
very
good
in
the
time
of
the
Fit
.
The
smoak
of
Tobacco
blown
into
the
Mouth
and
Nostrils
is
likewise
of
great
efficacy
to
free
the
Woman
from
the
Fit-Whilst
you
do
this
,
you
must
apply
Musk
or
Civet
,
wrapped
up
in
cotton
Wool
,
to
the
Womb.
Then
blow
thโs
Powder
into
her
Nose
:
Take
of
white
Pepper
,
Mustard
Seed
,
Pellitory
,
and
Castor
,
of
each
,
one
Scruple
:
mak
it
into
a
very
fine
Powder
,
and
blow
some
up
her
Nose
:
if
you
judge
it
not
strong
enough
,
add
a
little
white
Hellebore
or
Eaphorbium
.
Or
let
her
Nose
be
anointen
with
Oyl
of
Amber
.
If
the
Fit
be
of
long
continuance
give
her
a
laxative
,
carminative
,
or
wind-expelling
Clister
:
if
one
doth
it
not
,
give
another
.
Afterwards
give
another
made
of
Vinegar
and
Water
,
and
let
her
drink
a
little
Vinegar
and
Water
.
Apply
Emplastrum
Hystericum
to
the
Navel
,
or
a
Plaister
made
of
Galbanum
,
Caranna
,
Assafaetida
,
and
Tachamahaca
.
If
you
find
the
Sick
troubled
with
plenty
of
Wind
and
Vapours
,
bathe
and
foment
the
Belly
with
Fomentations
made
of
emollient
,
carminative
,
and
discussing
Herbs
and
Seeds
.
If
the
Sick
be
a
married
Woman
let
her
have
carnall
Conjunction
with
her
Husband
as
soon
as
ever
the
Fit
is
over
.
If
that
cannot
be
had
,
that
is
,
if
she
be
a
Maid
or
Window
,
let
a
Mid-wife
,
tickle
the
Neck
of
the
Womb
with
her
finger
anointed
with
the
Oyl
of
Musck
,
Cloves
,
or
the
like
,
that
so
the
offensive
Sperm
may
be
avoided
.
You
may
in
the
Fit
give
Pills
made
of
Assafaetida
,
Castor
,
Faecula
Brioniae
,
Mirrh
,
and
the
like
;
and
,
if
the
Fit
be
violent
,
give
Pillulae
Faetidae
.
Oyl
of
Amber
given
three
or
four
drops
in
some
convenient
Waters
are
very
good
.
The
After-Birth
of
a
Woman
,
that
lyeth
in
of
her
first
Child
,
dryed
,
and
powdered
,
and
a
Drachm
given
in
some
convenient
Liquor
,
is
excellent
:
Quercetanus
his
Powder
made
of
Elder-Berryes
,
taken
a
Drachm
in
Wine
,
is
very
good
.
For
the
Cure
,
you
must
consider
whether
the
Woman
be
with
Child
or
not
,
and
be
carefull
how
you
administer
stinking
Medicines
for
fear
of
Abortion
,
but
rather
outward
Medicines
then
inward
.
Whatever
part
of
the
Body
suffer
by
this
Disease
,
either
Brain
,
Heart
,
Liver
,
&c.
take
care
to
free
and
strengthen
the
part
,
seek
the
means
in
their
proper
Chapters
.
The
Patient
must
once
in
a
Month
be
purged
with
such
Medicines
,
as
principally
regard
the
Humour
offending
,
adding
thereto
things
that
are
hystericall
.
If
the
Body
be
full
of
Blood
open
a
Vein
,
or
bleed
the
Haemorrhoids
if
Nature
requireth
it
.
After
generall
Evacuation
,
make
use
of
sweating
Decoctions
,
or
let
the
Patient
frequent
sulphurous
Baths
.
These
Pills
are
much
commended
:
Take
of
the
Troches
of
Agarick
,
one
Drachm
and
an
half
:
Hiera
of
Colloquintida
,
one
Drachm
:
the
Seeds
of
Carrots
,
and
Agnus
Castus
,
of
each
one
Scruple
:
Mirrh
,
Castoreum
,
and
Diagridium
,
of
each
half
a
Scruple
;
Venice
Turpetine
,
as
much
as
will
suffice
to
make
all
into
a
Masse
,
let
her
take
half
a
Drachm
or
two
Scruples
twice
or
thrice
in
a
Month.
Or
Pillulae
Faetidae
taken
,
half
a
Drachm
,
once
in
a
Month
doth
very
much
cleanse
the
Womb.
Then
make
use
of
this
Sirrup
,
much
commended
by
Mercatus
:
Take
of
the
Juyce
of
Mercury
,
and
the
cream
of
Carthamus
Seeds
,
of
each
,
six
Ounces
:
the
Water
of
Scorzonera
,
seven
Ounces
:
Sugar
,
as
much
as
will
make
it
into
a
Syrrup
:
while
it
boiles
add
of
Confectio
de
Hyacintho
,
of
Alchermes
,
and
Powder
of
the
Electuary
de
Gemmis
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
;
let
the
Dose
be
two
or
three
Ounces
.
Assasaetida
,
and
Castor
made
into
Pills
with
Hony
have
a
peculiar
property
against
these
Firs
:
many
use
the
former
with
good
successe
,
tyed
up
in
a
thin
ragg
or
farcener
,
and
hung
about
the
Neck
:
and
for
this
purpose
the
Liver
or
Flesh
of
a
Wolf
;
or
the
Pizzell
,
or
Stones
of
a
Fox
dried
and
hung
about
the
Neck
with
a
string
,
resting
upon
the
Navell
;
vitriolated
Steel
,
or
the
Salt
thereof
,
given
with
Sugar
,
from
two
,
to
twenty
grains
,
according
to
the
Strength
of
the
Patient
,
is
much
commended
,
for
opening
Obstructions
and
cooling
the
Womb.
Eight
dayes
before
she
expect
her
monthly
Purgations
,
let
the
Woman
sit
in
a
mollifying
and
resolving
Bath
,
that
so
the
Humours
may
be
resolved
and
flow
forth
with
her
Courses
.
Lastly
,
Issues
made
in
the
Thighs
are
good
,
for
they
derive
and
turn
aside
evill
Humours
from
the
Womb.
CHAP.
LXXVI
.
Of
the
Inflammation
,
Ulcer
,
and
hard
Swelling
of
the
Womb.
THis
Disease
is
a
Swelling
of
the
Womb
,
which
is
caused
by
Blood
mixed
with
Choller
or
other
Humours
flowing
to
the
part
,
vehement
Excercise
,
or
immoderate
Copulation
;
some
Blow
or
Fall
upon
the
part
:
Meats
that
are
sharp
and
sretting
,
or
such
things
as
naturally
offend
the
part
,
as
Cantharides
,
or
Pessaryes
that
are
of
a
sharp
Nature
,
Abortion
,
hard
Labour
in
Child-bed
,
or
a
violent
handling
by
an
unskilfull
Midwife
.
The
Signes
of
this
Disease
are
,
Swelling
,
Heat
,
&
Pain
about
the
Region
of
the
Womb
,
the
Body
feavourish
.
If
the
Inflammation
be
in
the
Neck
of
the
Womb
,
the
pain
is
felt
towards
the
Groin
,
if
in
the
former
side
,
the
Bladder
suffereth
,
if
in
the
hinder
side
,
the
strait
Gut
will
be
sensible
thereof
,
and
the
Pain
is
violently
felt
about
the

.
If
either
side
of
the
Womb
be
inflamed
,
the
Thigh
and
Groin
on
the
same
fide
will
be
heavy
and
pained
.
If
you
consider
the
Const
tution
and
present
Temper
of
the
Patient
,
you
may
easily
guesse
what
Humour
offends
.
If
it
be
purely
Blood
,
the
Symptomes
are
more
mild
;
if
Choller
be
mixed
,
it
is
more
vehement
;
if
Phlegm
or
Melancholy
,
the
Distemper
is
more
fixed
and
lasting
,
but
the
pain
is
not
so
vehement
.
If
the
Inflammation
imposthumate
,
and
gather
Matter
,
the
pain
and
Feaver
encreaseth
,
and
the
Patient
hath
shaking
Fits
,
and
most
of
all
about
the
Evening
.
Sometimes
it
turns
to
an
Ulcer
,
which
is
known
by
avoiding
of
snotty
.
Matter
or
Quittor
out
of
the
Womb.
If
it
be
party-coloured
,
greenish
,
or
Lead
coloured
,
stinking
,
and
cometh
away
with
great
pain
,
it
is
the
worse
.
If
it
depend
upon
the
French
Pox
or
Gonorthaea
,
their
Symptoms
will
declare
the
same
.
Sometimes
the
Inflammation
turns
not
to
an
Imposthume
nor
Ulcer
,
but
to
a
painlesse
hard
Swelling
,
called
a
Schirrus
,
which
is
thus
known
:
the
Feaver
and
pain
ceaseth
,
and
the
Swelling
remaineth
;
there
is
a
hardnesse
,
heavinesse
,
and
Sense
of
Weight
,
bearing
down
when
the
Woman
standeth
.
As
to
the
Prognostick
,
I
shall
say
a
word
or
two
of
either
of
them
:
An
Inflammation
of
the
Womb
is
a
dangerous
,
and
de
adly
Symptome
,
especially
,
if
the
whole
Womb
be
inflamed
.
If
a
Woman
with
Child
suffer
Inflammation
of
the
Womb
,
the
Child
dyeth
,
and
probably
the
Mother
followeth
.
Ravings
,
Hiccoughs
,
Coldnesse
of
the
Hands
and
Feet
,
and
cold
Sweats
,
are
the
Messengers
of
Death
.
If
it
imposthumate
and
turn
to
an
Ulcer
,
it
ought
not
to
be
slighted
,
because
the
Womb
is
of
exquisite
Sense
,
and
hath
a
fellow-felling
with
the
principall
parts
of
the
Body
.
If
the
Ulcer
turns
cancrous
,
hollow
,
or
fistulous
,
it
is
seldom
or
never
cured
,
but
vexeth
the
Patient
miserably
all
her
life-time
.
An
Ulcer
in
the
Neck
of
the
Womb
is
most
easily
cured
,
because
Medicines
may
be
applyed
to
them
immediatly
.
A
Schirrhus
,
or
insensible
hard
Swelling
,
is
seldom
cured
,
because
the
naturall
Heat
is
so
weak
in
that
part
,
that
it
can
hardly
discusse
such
an
hard
and
almost
stony
Substance
:
If
it
be
not
cured
it
soon
brings
a
Dropsy
:
and
if
it
be
tampered
with
,
with
over
hot
and
moist
Medicines
,
it
turns
to
a
Cancer
.
The
Cure
you
must
prosecute
thus
:
First
,
in
the
Inflammation
of
the
Womb
,
give
a
cooling
Clister
,
then
open
the
Basilick
Vein
,
on
the
same
side
the
Womb
is
inflamed
,
if
all
the
Womb
be
inflamed
,
repeat
your
Phlebotomy
,
afterwards
open
the
lower
Veins
.
Rubbings
and
Bindings
are
good
,
and
Cupping-Glasses
fastened
to
the
Loins
and
Back
.
Purge
the
Humour
offending
with
such
things
as
purge
gently
.
Then
give
cooling
Juleps
or
Emulsions
to
allay
the
Heat
and
sharpnesse
of
the
Humours
;
mix
therewith
Narcoticks
to
give
ease
and
rest
,
if
the
Patient
be
tired
out
,
Apply
cooling
Liniments
and
Cataplasms
;
In
Liniments
use
,
the
Oyl
and
Ointment
of
Roses
,
Galen's
cooling
Ointment
,
Ceratum
Santalinum
,
and
such
like
;
and
with
the
Oyl
of
Roses
,
white
Bread
and
Milk
,
make
Cataplasms
,
adding
the
Juyce
of
Henbane
,
Night-shade
,
Plantant
,
and
Sorrell
;
or
instead
of
the
white
Bread
,
the
Meal
of
Barly
,
Flax
and
Fenugreek
Seed
.
Of
such
cool
Herbs
make
Injections
,
and
Pessaries
.
But
use
not
cooling
and
repelling
too
long
,
lest
the
Tumor
be
fixed
and
hardned
,
but
rather
use
softning
and
discussing
Medicines
with
repelling
,
such
as
these
,
viz.
Marsh
and
common
Mallows
,
Mugwort
,
Melilor
,
Camomill
,
Fenugreek
.
If
the
Patient
be
subject
to
be
costive
,
give
gentle
purgers
,
or
mollifying
and
cooling
Clisters
.
If
the
pain
be
very
violent
,
make
Injections
with
new
Milk
,
and
a
little
Opium
:
and
make
Pessaries
of
Philonium
Romanum
and
a
little
Cotton
and
apply
it
.
If
it
tends
to
Suppuration
,
apply
a
Cataplasm
made
of
the
aforenamed
softning
Herbs
,
fat
Figs
,
Yolks
of
Egs
,
Saffion
,
Oyl
of
Lillyes
and
fresh
Butter
.
When
it
is
broken
we
must
endeavour
to
purge
out
the
Quitter
,
and
cleanse
the
Ulcer
.
You
must
often
purge
with
gentle
Medicines
,
as
Senna
,
Rubarb
,
Tamarinds
,
Mirabolans
,
Agarick
,
Catholicon
,
and
such
like
,
that
the
evill
Humours
may
be
diverted
from
the
Womb
;
for
such
who
are
easy
to
vomit
,
a
gentle
Vomit
is
very
profitable
.
Make
a
vulnerary
Drink
to
cleanse
and
heal
the
Ulcer
:
Take
of
Agrimony
,
Burnet
,
Mugwort
,
Knot-Grasse
,
Plantane
,
and
Yarrow
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
China
Root
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Rha
Ponticum
,
one
Ounce
:
Currance
,
and
French
Barly
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
boil
them
in
Chicken-Broth
,
and
let
the
Patient
take
somewhat
more
then
a
Quarter
of
a
Pint
,
Morning
and
Evening
.
Venice
Turpotine
washed
in
Mugwort
Water
,
or
in
the
Water
of
any
other
Herb
,
respecting
the
Ulcer
,
is
good
to
cleanse
and
heal
it
.
If
the
Humours
be
sharp
and
painfull
,
inject
the
Emulsion
of
the
cold
Seeds
,
Goats
Milk
,
or
(
for
want
thereof
)
Cows
Milk
,
with
the
Juyce
of
Shepherds
Purse
,
or
of
any
of
the
Herbs
aforenamed
.
To
dry
and
fill
up
the
Ulcer
,
make
a
Decoction
of
the
aforenamed
Herbs
,
or
of
the
like
Nature
,
made
in
Water
wherein
Steel
hath
been
quenched
,
or
in
Plantane
Water
:
add
thereto
Acacia
,
Hypocistis
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Bolearmenick
,
fine
Starch
,
Aristolochia
rotunda
,
great
Comphry
,
&c.
Unguentum
Egyptiacum
,
de
Plumbo
,
de
Ceruso
,
and
de
Apio
,
are
very
good
in
Injections
;
and
the
Oyl
of
the
Yolks
of
Egs
,
stirred
in
a
Leaden
Morter
,
is
much
more
commended
.
If
the
Ulcer
in
the
Womb
come
by
reason
of
the
French
Pox
,
a
Fumigation
made
of
Cinnabaris
,
or
Minium
,
taken
into
the
Cavity
of
the
Womb
,
hath
a
peculiar
property
to
cleanse
and
heal
the
Ulcer
;
the
same
virtue
hath
Quick-Silver
Ointments
.
If
it
come
to
a
Schirrhous
Tumor
,
you
must
purge
the
melancholy
and
rebellious
Humours
,
and
give
steeled
and
such
Medicines
,
which
powerfully
open
Obstructions
of
the
Womb
or
other
parts
.
Then
you
must
prepare
emollient
and
resolving
Medicaments
to
be
applyed
outwardly
;
as
the
Fomentation
,
and
Cataplasm
mentioned
in
the
56
Chapter
,
Of
the
Schirrbus
of
the
Liver
.
Likewise
the
Liniment
there
prescribed
,
may
serve
here
for
an
Injection
.
To
conclude
,
you
must
use
a
great
deal
of
care
,
diligence
,
and
industry
in
this
Cure
,
lest
that
the
Tumor
become
harder
,
or
,
(
which
is
most
dangerous
)
degenerate
into
a
Cancer
.

.
Of
the
Womb
swelled
by
Wind
or
Water
.
There
is
a
twofold
Dropsy
of
the
Womb
,
one
from
Wind
,
which
is
like
that
sort
,
called
Tympanites
,
the
other
from
a
watry
and
wheyish
Humour
,
answering
to
Ascites
.
Some
add
a
third
answering
to
Leucophlegmatia
,
which
is
seldom
seen
.
This
Wind
or
Water
is
contained
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Womb
,
or
in
the
Membranes
thereof
,
or
in
certain
Bladders
.
It
is
caused
by
the
weaknesse
of
naturall
Heat
in
the
Liver
or
Spleen
,
from
which
parts
.
Wind
,
Phlegm
,
or
wheyish
Humours
are
sent
to
the
Womb
:
or
by
the
weaknesse
of
the
Womb
,
those
Humours
are
collected
.
Causes
which
weaken
the
naturall
heat
of
the
womb
are
many
,
viz.
cold
aire
heedlesly
taken
into
the
womb
,
or
staying
in
the
cold
,
or
padling
in
cold
water
whilst
the
courses
flow
:
the
use
of
cold
meates
and
drinks
;
add
to
these
,
abortion
,
hard
labour
,
immoderat
flux
of
the
Termes
;
all
diseases
proper
to
the
Womb.
This
disease
is
best
discovered
by
signes
,
which
distinguish
between
this
and
the
universall
Dropsy
of
the
Belly
.
The
Womb-Dropsy
causeth
a
swelling
,
chiefly
in
the
lower
Belly
;
in
the
other
Dropsy
,
the
swelling
is
in
all
parts
:
in
this
the
Body
decays
not
,
nor
there
is
not
such
a
Thirst
and
Drinesse
of
the
Tongue
as
in
the
other
;
and
Wind
and
Water
sometimes
bursteth
out
at
the
Mouth
of
the
Womb.
Secondly
to
distinguish
between
the
sorts
of
these
Dropsyes
,
consider
,
if
Wind
be
the
Cause
,
the
lower
part
of
the
Belly
,
being
struck
,
giveth
a
Sound
,
thence
is
a
pricking
pain
in
the
Belly
,
which
reacheth
to
the
Diaphragma
:
the
Womb
riseth
like
a
Globe
towards
the
stomach
,
Wind
bursteth
our
of
its
Neck
,
and
the
Patient
is
subject
to
Belching
,
and
when
she
breaketh
Wind
,
she
findeth
some
ease
.
If
a
watry
wheyish
Humour
be
the
Cause
,
the
part
appeareth
soft
and
flaggy
with
a
Noise
of
Water
,
and
great
Heavinesse
.
If
from
Phlegm
,
it
will
be
more
soft
;
and
the
parts
adjacent
,
as
well
as
the
Womb
,
have
a
phlegmatick
Swelling
.
Thirdly
,
you
ought
to
consider
,
whether
this
Disease
hath
its
originall
in
the
Womb
,
or
by
consent
of
other
parts
,
thus
:
if
there
appear
Symptoms
of
the
whole
Body
or
some
part
thereof
to
be
misaffected
,
viz.
if
there
be
long
Feavers
,
or
a
Flux
of
Blood
,
Distillations
from
the
Head
,
Weaknesse
of
the
Stomach
,
Swelling
of
the
Liver
and
Spleen
,
and
other
stubborn
Diseases
in
those
arts
,
judge
that
the
Womb
receives
its
Distemper
from
some
of
these
parts
.
On
the
contrary
,
if
the
Body
and
all
the
parts
are
in
good
health
,
saving
some
particular
Disease
of
the
Womb
,
then
judge
that
the
Disease
hath
its
originall
in
the
Womb.
Fourthly
,
to
know
,
whether
the
Wind
or
watry
Humour
be
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Womb
,
or
in
little
Bladders
,
take
these
two
Rules
,
that
if
it
be
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Womb
,
it
maketh
a
greater
Swelling
,
and
more
Water
flows
out
at
the
Neck
of
the
Womb.
Secondly
,
if
little
Bladders
of
Water
come
forth
,
it
is
an
evident
Signe
that
the
Water
or
Wind
is
not
contained
in
the
Cavity
of
the
Womb.
Fifthly
,
this
Womb-Dropsy
is
easily
distinguished
from
Tumors
of
the
Womb
,
caused
of
blood
or
Choller
,
because
there
is
no
Feaver
;
nor
pain
in
the
touching
of
it
;
it
differeth
likewise
from
a
schirrhous
Tumor
,
for
it
is
not
so
hard
as
not
to
yeeld
to
the
finger
.
Sixthly
,
it
is
very
convenient
to
distinguish
between
this
Disease
and
a
Woman's
being
with
Child
:
when
a
Woman
begins
to
be
big
with
Child
,
the
bignesse
of
her
Belly
buncheth
out
,
in
this
Disease
it
is
depressed
and
flat
:
in
the
first
,
the
Woman's
Dugs
do
swell
,
in
the
latter
they
become
extenuated
and
smaller
.
Women
with
Child
,
after
a
while
,
grow
better
and
better
,
but
in
this
Disease
they
grow
worse
and
worse
.
Again
the
Child
is
manifestly
perceived
to
stir
.
Lastly
,
you
must
distinguish
between
this
Disease
and
the
false
Conception
Mola
,
thus
:
in
Mola
Women
find
a
great
heavinesse
in
their
Wombs
,
and
when
they
turn
toly
on
either
side
,
it
roules
like
a
Stone
to
that
side
:
again
they
that
have
conceaved
with
Mola
(
for
the
most
part
)
have
a
violent
Flux
of
their
Terms
,
every
third
or
fourth
Month
,
and
lastly
the
Dugs
swell
and
sometimes
have
Milk
in
them
;
which
things
never
happen
in
this
Womb-Dropsy
.
Sometimes
this
Disease
cometh
not
to
the
height
but
proveth
an
Inflation
:
if
it
continueth
,
if
the
Humour
be
void
of
Putrefaction
,
though
it
continueth
long
,
yet
it
is
curable
,
nay
,
sometimes
it
floweth
out
of
its
own
accord
.
If
wind
or
water
be
in
the
cavity
it
is
evacuated
with
more
ease
,
then
if
it
be
shut
up
in
Bladders
.
If
the
Humour
be
malignant
and
sharp
,
it
produceth
the
like
Symptoms
,
and
is
dangerous
,
for
the
most
part
deadly
.
You
must
begin
the
Cure
with
Phlebotomy
,
if
the
Disease
hath
its
originall
from
the
Terms
,
and
the
Body
be
plethorick
,
other
wise
it
will
much
hurt
,
because
natural
Heat
is
much
weakned
thereby
.
Then
you
must
give
such
things
as
have
power
to
purge
,
open
,
provoke
Sweat
,
and
move
the
Courses
:
you
need
go
no
farther
then
to
the
58
and
71
Chapters
,
treating
Of
the
Dropsy
and
Green-Sicknesse
.
Give
a
gentle
Vomit
twice
a
week
,
if
the
Woman
be
easy
to
vomit
.
The
Heat
of
the
Stomach
must
be
cherished
and
maintained
,
by
Medicines
prescribed
in
the
Chapters
treating
of
the
Diseases
of
that
part
;
and
the
Womb
must
be
strengthned
,
and
the
peccant
Humours
discussed
by
Fomentations
or
Baths
,
made
of
the
Decoction
of
the
Roots
of
Briony
,
wild
Cucumber
,
and
horse
Radish
:
the
Leavs
of
Dwarf-Elder
,
Mercury
,
common
Elder
,
Origanum
,
Calamint
,
Rue
,
Sage
,
Wormwood
,
Marjarom
,
Mugwort
,
Pennyroyall
,
Time
:
the
Seeds
of
Annis
,
Fennel
,
Broom
,
Carrots
,
Cummin
,
Bay
,
and
Juniper
:
the
Flowers
of
Camomill
,
Melilot
,
and
Rosemary
.
If
it
be
a
windy
Dropsy
,
a
dry
Fomentation
will
be
much
better
.
Afterwards
anoint
with
the
Oyl
of
Nard
,
Rue
,
Wormwood
,
Dill
,
and
Southernwood
.
Give
frequent
Clisters
,
and
Injections
to
evacuate
the
Humours
contained
in
the
Womb
:
then
make
Pessaryes
,
of
Coloquintida
,
Elaterium
,
Mechoacan
,
and
such
like
,
with
Hony
,
and
apply
it
.
Nitrous
and
sulphurous
Baths
do
profit
much
,
and
,
if
the
Disease
proceed
from
Humours
falling
to
the
part
,
let
Issues
be
made
in
the
Thighs

of
the
Womb.
SOmetimes
the
Womb
looseth
its
natural
Scituation
,
and
falleth
down
to
the
water-gate
,
sometimes
out
to
the
very
Thigh
.
All
things
that
may
cause
a
Rupture
or
Relaxation
of
the
Ligaments
of
the
Womb
,
may
be
a
cause
of
this
grief
,
as
a
Blow
,
Fall
,
dancing
,
leaping
,
lifting
,
carrying
,
violent
sneezing
,
or
coughing
,
(
especially
in
Child-bed
,
or
being
big
with
Child
,
Tenasmus
,
hard
Travel
,
a
violent
drawing
the
Child
out
of
the
Womb
,
or
of
the
after-birth
,
or
the
expulsive
Faculty
of
the
womb
,
being
violently
provoked
to
expel
a
dead
Child
,
after
birth
,
or
the
Mole
,
and
many
such
like
Accidents
may
be
the
cause
of
the
breaking
of
the
Ligaments
,
and
falling
out
of
the
Womb.
A
Relaxation
of
the
Ligaments
may
be
caused
by
a
long
Defluxion
,
by
Crudityes
,
the
Whites
:
external
Causes
may
be
prevalent
,
as
bathing
in
cold
water
;
the
Southern
or
moist
Air
being
received
into
the
Womb
,
soon
after
a
lying
in
,
Meat
of
a
cold
and
moist
Nature
;
to
conclude
,
all
Meats
,
Drinks
,
and
Actions
,
which
will
breed
Phlegm
,
or
cause
its
Deflux
into
the
Womb.
This
Disease
needs
no
Signes
to
discover
it
by
,
it
being
apparent
to
the
Sense
:
the
causes
may
be
thus
distinguished
.
If
it
come
by
Loosenesse
of
the
Ligaments
,
it
cometh
by
little
and
little
,
the
pain
is
leffe
,
causes
,
moystening
the
Womb
have
preceded
.
If
it
come
by
a
Rupture
,
there
is
a
violent
pain
;
sometimes
Blood
starteth
out
,
and
such
causes
,
which
have
been
able
tobreak
the
Ligaments
,
have
preceded
.
If
the
womb
fall
down
by
a
rupture
of
the
Ligaments
,
it
is
incurable
.
That
which
comes
by
a
relaxation
of
the
Ligaments
is
not
very
dangerous
,
but
troublesome
to
the
patient
,
it
hinders
her
walking
,
conception
,
and
monthly
Purgation
.
In
young
Women
it
is
caslier
restored
to
its
place
,
than
in
elderly
.
The
womb
coming
not
far
out
,
and
if
taken
in
time
,
the
Cure
is
farr
more
easy
then
if
the
contrary
happen
.
Sometimes
grievous
and
violent
Pains
do
attend
it
,
and
threaten
Death
.
Sometimes
the
Air
corrupteth
the
womb
,
and
it
becomes
gangrenated
,
so
that
there
is
a
Necessity
that
it
be
cut
off
.
You
must
begin
the
Cure
with
such
Medicines
that
may
discharge
the
Guts
and
Bladder
of
their
Exerements
,
that
they
may
not
hinder
the
Reduction
of
the
womb
.
Then
let
her
ly
upon
her
Back
with
her
Thighs
wide
asunder
,
and
draw
up
her
Knees
,
and
let
her
with
her
own
hands
,
or
by
the
help
of
a
Mid
wife
,
thrust
the
womb
inwards
,
or
(
that
you
may
drive
it
in
farther
and
hurt
her
lesse
)
make
a
Pessary
of
linnen
cloaths
,
and
with
it
thrust
up
the
womb
;
first
anoint
it
with
the
Oyl
of
Lillyes
,
and
,
if
it
be
swelled
,
use
a
Fomentation
of
Althaea
,
common
Mallows
,
Fenugreek
,
and
the
like
.
Before
you
repose
the
womb
to
its
place
,
anoint
it
with
the
Musilage
of
Comphry
Roots
,
or
Infusion
of
Gum
Traganth
,
or
any
thing
that
is
of
a
glowing
Nature
.
When
it
is
up
,
let
the
woman
ly
with
one
Thigh
over
the
other
,
and
put
up
toward
the
Neck
of
the
womb
,
a
little
wool
wetted
in
ted
wine
or
Rosewater
,
wherein
Acatia
and
Hypocystis
hath
been
dissolved
.
Rodericus
ร
Castro
adviseth
the
Physitian
to
come
with
a
red
hot
Iron
,
and
to
make
as
if
he
would
thrust
it
into
the
womb
:
Avenzoar
,
and
Zacutus
Lusitanus
,
after
the
use
of
all
means
and
devices
,
by
this
Stratagem
reduced
the
womb
,
that
is
,
having
laid
her
down
as
before
said
,
and
one
held
down
her
Thighs
and
another
her
Breast
,
then
put
her
into
a
great
fright
,
by
setting
Mice
or
Frogs
to
run
up
her
Legs
and
Thighs
,
by
this
fright
the
womb
hath
been
reduced
into
its
proper
place
for
by
this
means
.
Nature
contracteth
her self
for
fear
,
and
draweth
the
womb
with
her
.
Then
lay
a
plaister
against
Ruptures
,
on
the
Region
of
the
womb
and
Groins
:
and
have
a
care
that
you
keep
the
Body
that
it
be
not
costive
nor
too
soluble
.
To
conclude
,
all
the
Medicines
externall
and
internall
,
prescribed
against
the
immoderate
flowing
of
the
Menstrues
,
are
here
good
:
but
beware
you
use
them
not
when
the
Courses
should
flow
;
and
,
lest
by
the
frequent
use
of
such
Medicines
,
they
should
be
hindered
,
your
Patient
being
young
,
&
having
her
Courses
monthly
,
be
sparing
in
the
use
of
them
;
but
rather
let
her
wear
a
Trusse
.
CHAP.
LXXIX
.
Of
Barrennesse
.
BArrennesse
or
Sterility
is
an
impotency
of
Conception
;
the
principall
causes
thereof
are
four
;
first
,
when
the
Woman
doth
not
conveniently
receiv
the
Man's
Sperm
into
her
Womb
;
and
this
happeneth
by
divers
causes
,
viz.
If
the
Woman
be
too
young
,
and
the
Neck
of
the
Womb
too
strait
for
the
Man's
Yard
;
the
same
happens
to
elderly
Virgins
,
being
not
exercised
in
actions
tending
to
Generation
,
their
genitall
parts
become
flaggy
,
withered
,
&
so
streight
that
they
canot
easily
admit
of
the
Man's
Yard
;
some
are
lame
and
crooked
that
they
cannot
ly
in
a
fit
posture
;
some
have
a
cold
Distemper
in
the
Womb
,
that
they
are
dull
and
have
no
delight
in
the
act
:
others
are
very
fat
,
which
causeth
a
Streightnesse
in
the
passage
,
or
their
Bellyes
,
being
big
,
hinder
their
due
conjunction
with
the
Man
.
Want
of
love
between
a
Man
and
his
Wife
is
a
great
cause
.
Diseases
in
the
Womb
or
the
adjacent
parts
,
hinder
the
Reception
of
the
Seed
.
The
second
cause
of
Barrennesse
is
when
the
Woman
doth
not
retain
the
Seed
of
the
man
in
her
Womb
,
for
sometimes
the
Womb
is
moist
and
slippery
,
and
full
of
excrementitious
Humours
,
by
which
means
the
Sperm
doth
easily
slide
back
again
;
and
the
Orifice
of
the
Womb
is
so
loose
&
flaggy
,
that
it
cannot
contract
it self
to
hold
the
Seed
:
or
it
may
be
so
slack
that
it
cannot
contract
to
do
its
Office
;
and
this
Slacknesse
may
be
occasioned
by
a
breaking
of
the
Fibres
of
the
Womb
one
from
another
,
in
hard
Labour
,
or
Abortion
:
to
say
all
,
the
Whites
,
or
any
moist
Distemper
of
the
Womb
,
may
be
the
cause
of
Barrennesse
.
Thirdly
,
want
of
sufficient
Nourishment
of
the
Womb
to
cherish
the
Seed
may
be
the
cause
of
Barrennesse
,
and
this
comes
to
passe
by
any
Distemper
of
the
Womb
that
doth
corrupt
the
Seed
:
a
cold
Distemper
extinguisheth
,
a
hot
Distemper
dissipateth
the
Spirits
in
the
Seed
:
a
moist
Distemper
hindereth
the
Seeds
coming
to
its
due
Thicknesse
,
and
a
dry
Distemper
consumes
and
drinks
up
the
moisture
of
the
Seed
.
Some
say
,
Witchcraft
and
Charms
may
be
the
cause
;
certain
Meats
and
Poysons
,
many
things
are
antipathetical
to
Faecundity
,
as
Vinegar
,
Mints
,
Water-cresses
,
Beans
,
and
such
like
,
Jet
,
Glow-Worms
,
Saphires
,
Smaragds
,
the
Matrice
of
a
Goat
of
Mule
,
malignant
Diseases
may
corrupt
Seed
and
hinder
Conception
,
as
stinking
Ulcers
,
the
French
Pox
,
leprous
Infections
,
and
the
like
.
The
fourth
thing
that
hinders
Conception
is
when
the
Woman
wants
fit
materialls
for
the
formation
of
the
Embrio
,
&
to
augment
the
same
;
and
this
chiefly
dependeth
upon
want
of
seed
&
menstruous
blood
;
and
this
defect
happeneth
to
those
that
are
too
young
or
too
old
,
the
determined
&
approved
age
is
from
fourteen
to
50.
Likewise
the
materials
may
be
ill
disposed
through
evill
diet
,
which
cannot
breed
blood
or
good
seed
,
Diseases
weakening
nature
may
cause
the
same
.
Add
to
all
these
causes
a
disproportion
or
unsureablenesse
between
the
man's
Sperm
and
the
Woman's
,
that
is
when
the
man
and
the
Woman
are
of
one
Complexion
,
by
which
means
the
seed
of
either
of
them
partake
of
the
same
excesse
,
that
is
that
they
are
either
too
hot
or
too
cold
;
hence
it
cometh
to
passe
that
the
same
Woman
who
could
never
have
a
Child
by
her
Husband
,
after
his
Death
,
hath
Children
by
another
man
,
and
a
man
by
another
Woman
.
Sometimes
a
man
and
Woman
live
ten
years
,
or
more
,
together
and
have
no
Children
,
and
afterwards
the
woman
conceaveth
and
bringeth
forth
,
and
this
cometh
to
passe
by
the
change
of
Temperature
caused
by
years
.
I
should
now
lay
down
the
Signs
of
all
these
causes
,
but
most
of
them
are
evident
to
the
Senses
;
and
the
rest
,
he
who
cannot
discover
hath
not
a
Head
befitting
a
Physitian
:
therefore
,
to
abbreviate
the
work
,
I
shall
leav
it
to
the
search
of
the
Ingenious
,
and
trouble
the
Reader
with
a
few
Rules
,
left
by
the
Ancients
,
to
try
whether
a
Woman
be
naturally
barren
or
no
,
Hippocrates
adviseth
to
wrap
the
Woman
close
in
Blankets
,
and
burn
some
Perfume
under
her
,
and
if
the
Smell
proceed
through
her
Body
,
to
her
Mouth
or
Nostrills
,
then
certainly
she
is
fruitfull
.
The
same
Author
adviseth
to
put
a
clove
of
Garlick
peeled
into
her
womb
,
or
Galbanum
,
and
if
the
Smell
come
to
her
Head
or
Mouth
,
judg
that
she
is
fruitfull
.
Amatus
Lusitanus
to
try
whether
a
Woman
be
fruitfull
or
no
,
giveth
a
Drachm
of
Hares
Runner
,
dissolved
in
warm
water
,
to
the
Woman
,
being
in
a
Bath
of
hot
water
,
fasting
;
and
if
the
Woman
findeth
pains
in
her
Belly
,
he
judgeth
her
fruitfull
,
if
she
hath
no
pain
,
he
judgeth
her
barren
.
Some
steep
Barly
in
the
Urine
,
and
if
it
shoot
within
ten
dayes
,
they
judg
the
Woman
fruitfull
.
Before
you
try
these
uncertain
conclusions
upon
the
Woman
,
examine
the
man
,
and
see
if
the
fault
be
not
in
him
.
It
is
known
thus
,
if
the
man
be
unable
to
raise
his
yard
,
if
he
want
Sperm
,
if
he
hath
a
swelling
in
his
Stones
,
or
if
he
have
the
Running
of
the
Reins
,
he
is
not
fit
for
Venus
School
.
If
the
man
be
of
an
effeminate
Spirit
,
if
he
hath
no
Beard
,
if
he
be
long
casting
forth
his
Seed
,
and
taketh
little
delight
in
the
act
,
and
the
Woman
in
the
act
feeleth
his
Seed
cold
,
be
sure
the
man
is
unfruitfull
;
Or
Causes
,
which
may
make
the
Seed
unfruitfull
,
have
preceded
.
Prog
:
These
that
conceave
not
by
reason
of
tendernesse
of
age
,
have
great
hopes
to
live
to
have
better
successe
:
but
if
she
live
above
forty
and
never
conceaved
,
she
hath
little
reason
to
hope
.
If
Barrenness
be
caused
by
Fatnesse
,
or
any
Distemper
or
Disease
whatsoever
,
if
the
Woman
can
procure
Leannesse
,
or
have
her
Distemper
removed
,
she
may
conceave
.
But
if
Barrennesse
be
caused
by
evill
shape
of
the
Members
,
it
is
likely
to
continue
.
In
the
cure
,
you
must
endeavour
that
whatsoever
hindereth
may
be
removed
.
If
tendernesse
of
age
be
the
cause
,
let
her
wait
the
time
;
in
the
mean
while
let
her
refuse
carnall
Embracements
,
lest
her
genitall
Members
be
spoiled
.
If
it
be
caused
by
Age
,
that
is
incurable
by
weaknesse
of
Nature
,
you
may
endeavour
to
strengthen
the
Body
and
revive
the
Spirits
,
but
it
is
difficult
.
If
the
Body
be
too
corpulent
,
or
too
manly
,
you
must
extenuate
,
moisten
,
and
cool
.
If
any
Distemper
of
the
Womb
hinder
Conception
,
labour
to
remove
the
Distemper
.
If
a
hot
Distemper
be
the
cause
,
cure
it
as
a
hot
Distemper
of
the
Liver
.
If
drinesse
be
the
cause
,
use
a
restorative
Diet
,
such
as
is
prescribed
in
the
Chapter
Of
the
Hectick
Feaver
.
If
it
be
caused
hy
Witch-craft
,
next
to
fervent
and
devout
prayers
to
god
,
and
a
confident
despising
and
slighting
of
Charmes
and
Witch-crafts
,
let
the
Woman
wear
the
Pizzle
of
a
Wolf
about
her
,
or
the
Adamant
or
Hyacinth
Stone
,
which
are
much
commended
against
Fascination
,
likewise
Sea
Onions
,
Sea
Holly
,
Sagapenum
,
Rue
,
and
St
John's
Wโrt
,
(
which
some
call
the
Divell
driver
)
are
of
great
efficacy
.
But
for
the
most
part
a
cold
and
moist
Distemper
of
the
Womb
and
of
the
Body
,
being
accompanied
with
the
Whites
,
is
the
cause
,
whose
particular
cure
you
may
find
in
its
proper
Chapter
.
You
must
purge
the
cold
phlegmatick
Humours
,
you
must
make
Issues
in
the
Arm
,
Neck
,
or
Thighs
,
and
give
such
things
as
strengthen
the
Womb.
Some
things
there
are
,
which
have
a
peculiar
virtue
to
cause
Faecundity
and
remove
Barrennesse
,
viz.
the
After-Birth
of
a
Woman
dried
and
beaten
to
powder
,
and
given
to
the
quantity
of
a
Drachm
.
The
Stones
of
a
Bore
pig
and
the
Liver
,
which
was
farrowed
alone
without
any
more
in
that
Litter
.
Half
a
pint
of
the
Juyce
of
Sage
taken
a
quarter
of
an
hour
before
the
Woman
enjoy
her
Husband
,
it
is
best
for
her
to
take
it
soon
after
she
hath
had
her
monthly
Purgation
.
Rejecting
the
multiplicity
of
Medicines
which
I
might
here
insert
,
I
shall
content
my self
and
the
Reader
with
one
or
two
of
the
best
of
them
,
and
first
,
an
excellent
Electuary
may
be
made
thus
:
Take
of

Roots
of
Eringo

and
Dogs

,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
Confection
of
Alchermes
,
three

LXXX
.
Of
Miscarriage
.
ABortion
or
Miscarriage
is
the
bringing
forth
of
a
Child
,
either
dead
or
alive
,
having
not
attained
to
the
just
Term
of
growth
,
which
it
ought
to
have
had
.
The
Causes
are
either
externall
or
internall
:
the
externall
causes
do
either
kill
the
Child
,
deprive
it
of
its
naturall
Nourishment
,
or
loosen
the
bands
,
by
which
the
Child
is
fastened
in
the
Womb.
Things
that
kill
the
Child
are
,
the
Stink
of
a
Candle
,
or
such
abominable
Smells
,
such
things
as
are
antipatheticall
to
the
Womb
,
and
provoke
the
Courses
,
strong
purges
,
or
the
Child
may
be
killed
by
violent
Commotions
of
the
Mind
,
as
Anger
,
Sadnesse
,
Terror
,
&c.
and
many
times
things
longed
for
,
and
not
obtained
,
kill
the
Child
.
If
the
Mother
undergo
Penury
or
Famine
,
or
lose
much
Blood
,
the
Child
wanteth
Nourishment
.
The
Bands
,
by
which
the
Child
is
fastened
to
the
Womb
,
may
be
loosned
by
violent
Excercise
,
dancing
,
running
,
riding
,
being
jumbled
in
a
Cart
or
Coach
,
by
some
fall
,
lifting
,
or
carrying
:
any
thing
which
causeth
a
violent
motion
of
the
Belly
,
as
Coughing
,
Sneezing
,
Vomiting
,
Convulsions
,
&c.
or
immoderate
Copulation
.
Internall
causes
of
Abortion
may
be
attributed
,
to
the
Humours
,
to
the
Child
,
to
the
Womb.
Humours
offend
in
excesse
or
defect
;
in
excesse
,
in
a
plethorick
and
full
constitution
,
when
more
Blood
flows
to
the
Womb
,
then
is
requisite
to
nourish
the
Child
,
and
flows
to
the
Veins
,
so
the
Courses
flowing
provoke
the
expulsive
Faculty
,
and
drive
forth
the
Child
.
Defect
of
Humours
fit
to
nourish
,
spring
from
such
causes
,
which
destroy
the
Nourishment
or
draw
it
from
the
Child
,
as
long
fasting
,
loathing
,
and
vomiting
up
of
all
Food
,
immoderate
bleeding
at
the
Nose
,
Womb
,
or
Haemorhoids
,
or
a
Loosenesse
,
or
any
thing
that
makes
the
Body
lean
or
weak
.
The
causes
attributed
to
the
Child
are
,
if
the
Child
be
over
great
,
if
there
be
more
then
one
,
for
the
womb
overladen
,
doth
exclude
the
Child
before
the
fit
time
:
likewise
if
the
Child
be
dead
,
Nature
desires
to
be
rid
of
it
.
In
respect
of
the
Womb
,
if
it
be
any
way
diseased
or
defective
,
that
it
cannot
open
as
the
Child
groweth
bigger
:
or
if
it
be
moist
or
slack
,
it
cannot
contain
the
Child
,
but
Abortion
must
necessarily
follow
.
Abortion
when
it
happens
is
known
:
there
are
signs
preceding
it
,
which
do
foretell
Abortion
to
follow
:
her
Breasts
grow
little
and
flaggy
,
she
feels
a
heavinesse
about
the
Loius
and
Hips
,
she
hath
no
appetite
to
eat
,
nor
desire
to
stirr
,
she
hath
a
shivering
by
Fits
,
she
hath
Streightnesse
of
the
Sides
and
Belly
above
the
Navell
,
and
a
pain
in
her
Head
:
plenty
of
Milk
flowing
from
the
Dugs
,
shews
that
the
Child
is
weak
,
and
danger
of
Abortion
.
If
pains
about
the
Reins
,
Loins
,
and
Share
,
torment
the
Woman
,
then
know
that
Abortion
is
hard
at
hand
:
the
same
judg
,
if
Blood
or
Water
burst
out
and
flow
;
and
the
Scituation
of
the
Child
is
changed
from
the
middle
of
the
Belly
to
the
Bottom
.
If
any
of
these
or
the
like
Symptoms
befall
a
Woman
with
Child
after
any
externall
cause
of
Abortion
,
as
Blow
,
Fall
,
&c.
let
the
Woman
betake
herself
to
her
Bed
and
take
such
Medicines
which
prevent
Abortion
.
Prognosticks
of
Abortion
are
thus
made
:
Women
are
more
endangered
by
Abortion
,
then
by
a
naturall
,
and
timely
Birth
,
because
in
a
timely
Birth
the
Vessels
and
Ligaments
are
loosned
and
opened
of
their
own
accord
,
but
in
Misearriage
they
are
broken
in
sunder
;
the
like
you
may
perceive
between
the
Stalk
of
ripe
and
unripe
fruit
.
Women
many
times
become
barren
by
Miscartiage
,
because
the
womb
is
rent
,
and
its
natur
all
disposition
much
altered
.
Much
bleeding
,
seconded
with
Convulsions
,
raving
,
and
fainting
,
is
alwayes
deadly
.
If
an
Inflammation
of
the
Womb
follow
Abortion
,
it
is
deadly
.
In
young
Women
,
who
never
bore
Child
before
,
it
is
worst
,
because
the
passage
is
narrower
,
and
they
more
unaccustomed
to
pains
.
The
bigger
the
Child
is
,
the
more
the
danger
.
Women
who
have
moist
and
slippery
Wombs
,
do
often
miscarry
and
with
little
danger
.
To
prevent
Miscarriage
,
you
must
,
before
and
after
she
is
with
Child
,
endeavour
to
remove
all
evill
dispositions
of
the
Body
or
Womb
,
that
may
cause
Miscarriage
,
if
Blood
abound
open
a
Vein
,
purge
the
peccant
Humours
,
strengthen
the
Womb
:
but
if
the
Woman
be
with
Child
,
beware
how
you
bleed
,
except
it
be
in
the
first
month
,
and
the
Body
full
of
Blood
:
and
in
this
case
,
let
Purges
be
gentle
and
often
reiterated
.
To
conclude
,
to
strengthen
the
Womb
fetch
Medicines

LXXXI
.
Of
hard
Travel
in
Child-birth
.
HArd
Labour
is
when
more
vehement
Pains
and
dangerous
Symptomes
happen
to
Women
in
Travell
,
and
continue
a
longer
time
.
There
are
divers
causes
,
some
whereof
may
be
assigned
to
the
weakness
of
the
Womans
Body
,
Leannesse
or
Drinesse
as
well
as
Fatnesse
of
the
Body
,
her
Age
,
or
Sicknesses
,
as
the
Stone
or
preternaturall
Tumor
in
the
Bladder
,
or
any
Disease
of
the
womb
.
Other
causes
may
be
assigned
to
the
Child
,
when
its
Body
or
Head
is
too
big
,
when
there
are
two
,
or
when
the
Child
is
dead
:
or
when
it
endeavours
to
come
forth
with
his
Feet
,
Hands
,
Back
,
Belly
,
or
Breech
,
&c.
A
cold
and
dry
Air
,
and
Northern
Wind
,
streightneth
the
Body
,
and
driveth
the
Spirits
inward
,
and
is
obnoxious
to
the
Child's
first
entrance
into
the
world
.
If
the
Air
be
more
hot
then
ordinary
,
it
is
as
bad
as
the
former
,
for
it
dissipates
the
Spirits
,
exhausts
the
Strength
,
and
introduceth
feavourish
Distempers
into
the
Bodyes
of
Mother
and
Child
.
Meats
of
a
hard
digesture
or
astringing
quality
taken
a
little
before
the
time
of
Delivery
,
Sleepinesse
and
Sortishnesse
,
the
Retention
of
Excrements
,
all
vehement
Passions
of
the
Mind
,
want
of
an
expert
Midwife
,
and
Women
to
assist
the
labouring
Woman
,
may
be
causes
of
hard
Labour
.
Hard
Labour
is
easily
known
to
the
Woman
herself
,
to
the
Midwife
,
and
the
Assistants
.
The
time
of
a
naturall
Birth
ought
to
be
accomplished
in
the
space
of
twenty
four
houres
,
if
the
Woman
continue
a
longer
time
,
it
is
hard
Labour
.
If
her
pains
be
weak
and
long
before
they
return
,
and
more
about
her
Back
then
Privityes
,
the
causes
may
easily
be
known
;
many
you
may
gather
from
the
Relation
of
the
Woman
in
Travell
,
her
Leannesse
,
Weaknesse
,
Fatnesse
,
and
Age
is
perceived
.
Diseases
of
the
Womb
and
Bladder
may
be
known
by
their
proper
Signes
.
The
Bigness
,
and
disorderly
Posture
of
the
Child
,
is
soon
seen
by
an
expert
Midwife
.
If
the
Child
be
dead
,
you
may
know
it
by
these
Signs
,
the
Breasts
of
the
Woman
become
flat
and
flaggy
,
her
Eyes
hollow
and
troubled
,
her
Face
and
Lips
are
of
a
pale
and
leaden
colour
,
her
Belly
is
cold
&
there
is
a
Sense
of
Weight
:
there
is
no
Motion
felt
,
though
you
apply
somthing
wetred
in
the
Decoction
of
Tansy
warm
to
her
Navell
.
When
the
Woman
turnes
,
the
Child
sways
that
way
like
Lead
.
If
the
after-Birth
come
away
before
the
Child
,
it
is
a
Sign
of
the
Death
of
the
Child
.
And
if
the
Child
cometh
not
away
,
it
soon
putrifieth
,
and
stinketh
,
and
stinking
Moisture
floweth
from
the
womb
,
and
their
Breath
stinketh
.
Hard
Labour
is
dangerous
,
for
sometimes
the
Mother
,
sometimes
the
Child
,
and
sometimes
both
do
lose
their
lives
.
Sleepy
Diseases
and
Convulsions
,
if
they
befall
a
Woman
in
Travell
,
death
is
at
hand
.
If
the
Woman
be
in
Travell
above
three
dayes
,
it
is
likely
the
Child
will
dy
.
If
the
Woman
fall
a
sneezing
in
her
Travell
it
is
good
,
saith
Hippocrates
.
If
the
Child
be
dead
,
the
danger
is
exceeding
great
;
especially
,
if
it
be
not
brought
soon
away
,
for
it
will
cause
Feavers
,
Faintings
,
Convulsions
,
dead
Sleeps
,
and
death
it self
.
In
difficult
Labour
,
first
all
causes
,
which
hinder
the
Birth
,
must
be
removed
,
if
it
be
possible
;
then
such
things
as
further
the
Birth
must
be
administred
.
An
Ounce
of
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
and
a
Drachm
of
Confectio
Alchermes
given
in
Broth
is
good
.
Burn
white
Wine
with
a
little
Saffron
and
Cinnamon
,
afterwards
dissolve
a
little
Alchermes
,
this
I
have
found
very
powerfull
to
hasten
the
Birth
.
If
you
find
this
Medicine
too
gentle
,
make
a
Julep
of
more
efficacy
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
Water
of
Mugwort
,
and
Vervain
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
the
Sirrup
of
Maiden-hair
,
one
Ounce
:
Confectio
Alchermes
,
half
a
Drachm
:
Dittany
of
Creet
,
and
both
Birth
worts
,
of
each
,
one
Scruple
:
Oyl
of
Cinnamon
,
five
Drops
,
mix
them
,
and
make
a
Potion
:
Oyl
of
Amber
,
fifteen
Drops
;
or
the
Extract
of
Saffron
,
five
Grains
;
may
be
either
of
them
mixed
insteed
of
the
Oyl
of
Cinnamon
.
Provoke
sneezing
,
and
open
the
lower
Veins
if
need
be
.
Then
let
the
Midwife
anoint
the
Mouth
of
the
womb
,
with
the
Oyl
of
Lillyes
and
Sweet
Almonds
,
and
the
like
:
and
foment
the
Belly
with
a
mollifying
Decoction
:
and
in
a
dangerous
case
give
a
sharp
Clister
.
Some
things
have
a
peculiar
property
to
help
the
Birth
,
as
the
Stone
Aetitis
,
Loadstone
,
and
Storax
held
neer
the
Privityes
;
the
Eyes
of
a
Hare
taken
out
in
the
month
of
March
and
dryed
,
use
it
as
the
Stones
,
and
when
the
Woman
is
delivered
take
them
away
,
lest
it
draw
out
the
Womb.
Some
commend
the
Gall
of
an
Hen
,
applyed
to
the
Navell
.
If
the
Child
be
dead
,
give
the
same
things
before
mentioned
,
but
it
is
convenient
to
make
them
stronger
,
by
adding
Savin
Water
and
the
Leavs
of
Savin
dried
,
the
Troches
of
Mirrh
and
Castor
.
Then
foment
the
Privityes
and
Share
with
a
mollifying
Decoction
,
to
which
add
Briony
Roots
,
and
the
Roots
of
wild
Cucumber
,
round
Birth-wort
,
and
the
like
.
And
put
up
a
Pessary
made
in
this
manner
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
round
Birth-wort
,
Orice
,
black
Hellebore
;
Coloquintida
and
Mirrh
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
:
Galbanum
,
Opopanax
,
of
each
,
half
a
Drachm
,
with
Ox
Gall
,
make
a
Pessary
and
apply
it
.
If
all
this
will
not
do
,
you
must
implore
the
help
of
the
Chirurgion
.
If
the
After-birth
be
retained
,
you
must
endeavour
to
expell
it
by
such
Medicines
as
expell
the
dead
Child
:
to
which
add
these
which
are
said
to
have
a
specifick
property
,
the
Stones
of
a
gelded
Horse
,
dried
and
powdered
,
and
given
as
much
as
will
ly
on
a
three
pence
,
two
or
three
times
as
need
requireth
,
is
commended
by
Gesnerus
and
Augenius
.
Some
commend
the
Juyce
of
an
Onion
given
in
Wine
,
or
an
Onion
held
in
the
Woman's
mouth
,
between
her
teeth
,
and
the
Juyce
squeezed
out
and
swallowed
,
and
a
Draught
of
white-Wine
drunk
after
it
:
Or
20
or
30
drops
of
the
Oyl
of
Juniper
drunk
in
Wine
;
or
the
Juyce
of
Lovage
taken
in
Renish
Wine
.
If
her
Purgations
flow
immoderately
,
that
you
fear
the
Death
of
the
Woman
;
or
in
case
her
Purgations
be
suppressed
,
which
may
cause
dangerous
Symptoms
,
have
Recourse
to
the
Chapters
treating
of
those
Maladyes
.
Many
Women
are
much
troubled
with
after-pains
,
which
do
much
afflict
them
,
and
these
pains
,
are
caused
either
by
the
Thicknesse
,
or
Sharpnesse
of
the
Blood
;
or
by
Wind.
If
the
Blood
be
thick
,
you
may
know
it
by
its
clotting
:
if
thin
,
by
its
Tenuity
or
yellow
Colour
.
If
the
Blood
be
thick
,
give
this
Julep
:
Mugwort
water
,
two
Ounces
:
sirrup
of
Violets
,
&
oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
If
the
Blood
be
sharp
,
add
to
the
former
,
the
Musilage
of
Quince
Seeds
drawn
with
Violet
Water
,
half
an
Ounce
:
If
Wind
be
the
Cause
of
these
Pains
,
which
you
may
know
by
its
Motion
from
one
part
of
the
Belly
to
the
other
,
then
give
inwardly
and
apply
outwardly
carminative
Medicines
;
Take
of
the
Seeds
of
Carrots
,
one
Drachm
:
of
Annise
,
Nutmeg
,
and
Cinnamon
,
of
each
,
a
Scruple
,
make
them
into
fine
Powder
,
and
give

Morbus

is
the
Joynt-Sicknesse
,
caused
by
an
Influx
of
Humours
into
them
,
which
causeth
pain
in
the
Membranes
,
Tendons
,
and
Nervs

Authors

The
immediate
cause
of
the
Gout
is
a
wheyish
Humour
flowing
to
the
Joynts
,
and
by
its
Quantity
stretcheth
the
sensible
parts
,
or
by
its
Sharpnesse
twitcheth
them
,
and
this
Humour
floweth
not
onely
from
the
Brain
and
Head
,
but
from
all
parts
of
the
Body
.
The
cause
may
be
attributed
to
all
Meats
,
which
encrease
raw
and
wheyish
Humours
;
Meats
of
a
grosse
Substance
hard
to
be
digested
,
and
such
as
afford
plenty
of
Excrements
;
Gluttony
,
Drunkennesse
,
immoderate
Venery
,
(
therefore
the
Gout
is
called
the
daughter
of
Bacchus
and
Venus
;
)
long
Sleep
,
and
unseasonable
Watchings
,
Fear
,
Sadnesse
,
continuall
care
,
and
intermission
of
such
Excercises
or
Evacuations
as
men
have
been
accustomed
to
,
and
the
like
.
The
beginning
of
the
Gout
is
known
thus
,
there
is
a
more
exquisite
and
quick
Sense
in
the
Joynts
then
formerly
:
they
are
easily
hurt
,
as
by
a
new
shooe
,
walking
,
the
least
touch
against
any
hard
thing
.
Commonly
a
Feaver
ushers
it
in
:
and
at
its
approach
there
is
a
kind
of
unusuall
Heat
felt
in
the
Joynts
,
and
a
Motion
,
as
if
some
living
Creature
were
therein
:
after
which
,
followeth
a
tormenting
pain
in
the
Joynts
,
for
the
most
part
beginning
in
the
great
Toe
,
and
attended
with
Rednesse
and
Swelling
.
The
Signes
of
the
causes
,
or
the
Humours
,
which
are
mixed
with
the
wheyish
Humours
,
are
thus
considered
.
If
choller
be
mixed
with
the
wheyish
Humour
,
the
Urine
is
thin
,
yellowish
or
red
,
the
pain
great
and
violent
,
the
Feaver
comes
to
the
height
,
the
part
is
swelled
,
is
red
or
pale
,
but
very
hot
,
the
application
of
cold
things
giveth
ease
.
If
Phlegm
be
mixed
,
there
is
a
soft
and
loose
swelling
of
the
part
,
the
pain
not
so
violent
;
the
Urine
is
thick
and
troubled
,
little
or
no
Heat
,
and
hot
things
give
ease
.
If
Melancholy
be
the
Humour
mixed
,
the
Temper
of
the
Body
inclineth
to
Melancholy
,
and
there
is
a
wearinesse
felt
all
over
,
the
part
is
of
an
obscure
Colour
like
Lead
,
the
pain
deep
,
and
the
Urine
thick
and
melancholy
.
The
Gout
is
no
dangerous
Disease
,
but
it
continueth
long
,
and
is
attended
with
violent
pain
,
for
the
most
Part
to
the
end
of
a
man's
life
,
and
sometimes
it
is
a
means
of
long
life
;
because
Nature
doth
drive
the
vitious
Humours
to
the
Joynts
,
which
,
if
they
should
fall
upon
the
more
noble
parts
,
would
be
a
means
of
great
Diseases
,
if
not
death
it self
.
But
in
weak
Bodyes
,
that
are
decayed
by
Sicknesse
or
Age
,
that
Nature
cannot
expell
these
Humours
to
the
Joynts
,
many
dangerous
Diseases
are
ingendered
.
He
that
hath
no
knots
in
his
Joynts
,
is
inclinable
to
Labour
,
and
is
for
the
most
part
soluble
;
by
a
skillfull
Physitian
,
may
be
cured
.
An
haereditary
Gout
is
seldom
or
never
cured
.
If
the
Veins
of
a
gouty
Person
do
swell
with
black
Blood
,
there
is
hopes
that
the
Gout
leavs
him
.
If
the
Gout
doth
not
return
at
its
season
it
is
dangerous
,
unlesse
the
matter
be
taken
away
by
Medicines
,
for
it
is
an
argument
that
Nature
is
weak
,
and
cannot
expell
it
.
The
Cure
of
the
Gout
is
to
be
performed
by
stopping
the
Flux
of
the
Humours
into
the
Joynts
:
by
removing
the
Humours
in
the
Joynts
:
and
to
abate
the
Sharpnesse
of
the
pain
.
If
the
Patient
be
full
of
Blood
and
strong
,
let
him
bleed
in
a
great
Quantity
,
or
let
him
blood
often
,
till
the
plenitude
of
Blood
be
sufficiently
abated
.
Then
let
him
be
purged
with
strong
Medicaments
,
which
may
evacuate
the
stirred
Humour
,
and
turn
the
cause
from
the
Joynts
.
Whilst
you
are
purging
,
let
Ointments
or
Plaisters
,
be
applyed
to
the
Joynt
above
the
part
affected
,
of
an
astringeing
and
drying
property
;
by
which
the
Humours
may
be
intercepted
,
that
they
may
not
so
much
nor
so
forcibly
fall
into
the
Joynt
,
Let
your
Ointments
be
made
of
the
Roots
of
Snake-weed
and
Tormentill
,
Bolearmenick
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Pomgranate
Rinds
,
Balaustians
,
red
Roses
,
the
Whites
of
Egs
,
Vinegar
,
Oyl
of
Roses
,
of
unripe
Olives
,
and
the
like
.
If
the
Patient
be
strong
and
easy
to
vomit
,
give
a
gentle
Vomit
to
carry
away
the
Humours
in
and
about
the
Stomach
;
soon
after
vomiting
purge
strongly
.
Sweating
Medicines
are
very
good
to
discusse
the
wheyish
Matter
;
if
a
Feaver
be
present
,
give
Harts-horn
with
Carduus
water
.
In
a
Gout
without
a
Feaver
,
the
Decoction
of
Sassafras
,
Salsa
,
and
China
,
may
be
given
;
it
is
not
amisse
if
the
Heat
thereof
be
allayed
,
by
boiling
with
it
Endive
,
Succory
,
Sorrell
,
Burrage
,
Buglosse
,
and
the
like
.
The
Waters
of
Bath
do
provoke
Sweat
,
and
do
readily
and
profitably
discusse
the
Matter
contained
in
the
Joynts
.
Forrestus
commendeth
the
Decoction
of
the
Root
of
the
great
Burdock
,
for
this
purpose
.
Likewise
a
Decoction
of
Elder
,
Bay
Leavs
,
Sage
,
Rosemary
,
and
such
like
,
receiving
the
Vapour
in
a
sweating
Tub.
Afterwards
come
to
locall
Medicines
:
Amatus
Lusitanus
doth
commend
the
Milk
of
a
Goat
,
milked
warm
upon
the
part
affected
,
or
you
may
make
a
Cataplasm
with
it
and
white
bread
,
and
the
Musilage
of
the
Roots
of
Marsh-Mallows
,
the
Leavs
of
Henbane
,
Violets
,
and
the
like
,
and
if
the
pulp
of
Cassia
,
and
Venice-Treacle
be
added
,
it
will
be
much
more
effectuall
.
The
distilled
Water
of
Frogs
Spawn
is
very
good
against
the
pains
of
the
hot
Gout
,
if
the
part
be
bathed
therewith
;
with
it
you
may
mingle
the
Oyl
of
Calves
Feet
,
or
with
the
Flowers
of
Camomill
,
Melilot
,
Roses
,
Mullein
,
Mallows
beaten
,
you
may
bring
it
into
the
form
of
a
Poultis
.
Green
Tobacco
leavs
are
much
commended
,
and
so
is
a
living
Whelp
laid
to
the
gouty
part
.
When
the
Pain
rageth
violently
,
use
Narcoticks
:
as
Plantane
,
Lettice
,
Henbane
,
Housleek
,
Night-shade
,
Mandrakes
,
Purslane
,
and
Poppy
Heads
;
but
be
sure
you
let
them
not
ly
on
too
long
,
for
they
are
inimicall
to
the
naturall
Heat
,
and
to
the
Nervs
.
Some
do
commend
this
Fomentation
:
Take
Spirit
of
Wine
,
well
tinctured
with
Saffron
,
four
Ounces
:
Camphire
,
one
Scruple
:
boil
them
a
little
,
and
dissolve
one
Drachm
of
Opium
;
and
bathe
the
pained
part
.
The
Oyl
of
Wax
is
good
to
ease
the
Gout
,
and
the
Oyl
of
Mans
Bones
is
preferred
before
all
other
,
and
it
is
thus
made
:
Take
the
Bones
of
a
man
fresh
and
unburied
,
break
them
small
,
and
let
them
ly
in
Oyl
till
they
have
drunk
up
as
much
as
they
can
,
then
distill
them
in
a
Retort
.
The
Root
of
Briony
and
Cuckow-pintle
,
bruised
&
mingled
with
Cow
dung
,
is
an
excellent
Cataplasm
.
I
might
here
fill
a
Volume
with
Receipts
against
the
Gouts
;
but
passing
by
all
,
I
shall
onely
insert
one
or
two
out
of
Quercetanus
his
Dispensatory
:
Take
Brine
,
Salt
,
and
the
Urine
of
a
Boy
;
of
each
,
equall
parts
:
distill
them
,
and
dip
linnen
Cloaths
in
the
Water
,
and
apply
them
to
the
place
affected
,
changing
them
often
.
Take
green
Elder
Leavs
and
Flowers
,
of
each
,
one
pound
:
beat
them
in
a
Morter
,
and
macerate
them
in
Aqua-Vitae
,
three
dayes
,
then
distill
them
till
all
be
dry
,
use
it
as
before
.
Take
of
rectifyed
Spirit
of
Wine
,
two
pound
;
of
the
best
Hony
,
one
pound
:
distill
them
in
Balneo
Roris
,
from
which
will
come
two
Liquors
,
the
first
waterish
;
the
second
strong
and
sulphurous
:
keep
them
by
themselvs
.
To
the
Foeces
add
of
orientall
Saffron
whole
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
;
Venice
Turpetine
,
two
Ounces
:
Castor
,
six
Drachms
:
Tartar
calcined
white
,
half
a
pound
:
Salt
dissolved
,
one
Ounce
;
Phlegm
of
Vitriol
not
seperated
from
the
Spirit
,
four
Ounces
:
Lye
made
of
the
Ashes
of
Vine
Branches
,
two
pound
:
macerate
them
twenty
four
hours
,
then
distill
them
till
all
be
dry
,
keep
this
also
by
it self
.
To
the
Dregs
remaining
pour
on
the
former
Water
,
which
you
kept
,
macerate
and
distill
as
before
;
Lastly
,
put
all
these
Waters
together
,
and
distill
them
in
Balneo
Roris
,
wet
linnen
Cloths
therein
,
and
apply
it
to
the
gowty
place

prescibeth
another
,
which
he
accounts
inferiour
to
none
,
which
penetrates
into
the
Roots
of
the
Disease
,
and
resolveth
and
attenuateth
the
salt
,
tartarous
,
and
stony
Matter
in
the
Joynts
;
and
he
supposeth
it
to
be
that
which
the
aforesaid
Quercetanus
reservs
to
himself
,
as
his
Master-peice
to
brag
of
;
it
is
thus
made
:
Take
of
โโฆslaked
Lime
,
four
pound
:
slake
it
in
River
water
as
much
as
is
convenient
,
and
let
it
stand
in
a
Wine
Cellar
the
space
of
three
dayes
,
that
the
Salt
may
be
extracted
the
better
:
afterwards
boil
it
a
little
and
strain
it
through
Hippocrates
Sleev
.
In
twenty
Pints
of
this
Liquor
,
quench
first
Plates
of
Steel
,
then
of
Copper
made
red
hot
,
seven
or
nine
times
;
thirdly
,
ten
Ounces
of
Vitriol
calcined
till
it
be
white
;
fourthly
,
half
a
pound
of
Antimony
melted
in
a
Crucible
:
fifthly
,
half
a
pound
of
Litharge
or
Ceruse
,
heated
in
a
Crucible
:
sixthly
,
white
Precipitate
once
washed
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
:
lastly
,
Erasse
burnt
and
finely
powdered
,
half
an
Ounce
:
after
all
this
,
let
the
Water
stand
in
a
Cellar
the
space
of
10
dayes
,
afterwards
boil
it
and
strain
it
,
and
apply
it
with
linnen
Rags
.
To
raise
Blisters
upon
the
part
,
hath
been
found
by
experience
to
be
very
effectuall
.
In
the
use
of
all
Medicines
,
take
speciall
notice
which
do
harm
or
hurt
,
for
the
Nature
and
Complexions
of
Men
are
divers
,
and
the
Excrements
bred
in
severall
men
are
of
divers
kinds
.
Hence
it
is
,
that
the
same
Disease
doth
much
differ
in
severall
persons
;
and
what
cures
one
,
doth
prejudice
another
;
Therefore
the
Physitian
ought
to
have
severall
Medicines
in
readinesse
,
and
use
thโse
that
Reason
and
his
Experience
doth
approve
of
.
To
prevent
its
return
,
let
the
Patient
bleed
twice
in
a
year
,
viz.
at
Spring
and
Fall
;
and
purge
4
times
in
a
year
,
and
make
use
of
sweating
Drinks
,
and
frequent
sulphurous
and
nitrous
Baths
.
The
Sciatica
differeth
nor
from
the
other
Gout
onely
in
its
Scituation
,
which
is
in
the
Hip
,
extending
the
pain
to
the
top
of
the
Buttock
,
the
Loins
,
and
Ossacrunt
,
and
reacheth
down
the
Hip
and
Leg
even
to
the
Foot
.
This
peculiar
Prediction
belongeth
to
this
Disease
,
that
if
it
continueth
long
,
it
putteth
the
Hip
out
of
Joynt
.
The
Cure
is
performed
allmost
in
the
same
manner
with
the
other
Gout
.
First
open
the
Vein
in
the
Arm
on
the
same
side
,
afterwards
open
the
lower
Veins
on
the
same
side
,
viz.
Vena
Poplitea
about
the
knee
,
or
the
Vein
neer
the
outward
Ancle
called
the
Sciatica
Vein
,
if
you
open
the
Vein
on
the
contrary
side
,
it
will
not
do
amisse
;
bleeding
the
Haemorrhoid
Veins
by
Leeches
doth
wonderfully
help
those
that
are
Hipgouty
,
for
there
is
a
great
consent
between
those
Veins
.
But
be
not
too
forward
to
let
Blood
unlesse
you
find
Blood
to
abound
.
Then
let
the
Humours
be
purged
strongly
,
by
Pillulae
Faetidae
,
or
Hermodactylls
,
or
the
Powder
of
Hermodactylls
compound
,
but
beware
how
you
give
the
latter
except
to
strong
Bodyes
.
Mercurius
Dulois
with
Scammony
is
much
commended
,
and
the
Chymists
do
much
esteem
of
Mercuriall
and
antimoniall
Purges
;
and
many
preferr
Vomits
before
all
.
Then
apply
resolving
Decoctions
made
of
the
Roots
of
Briony
,
Danewort
,
the
Leavs
of
Ground-Pine
,
Mint
,
Marjarom
,
Sage
,
Savin
,
Rue
,
Rosemary
,
Pennyroyall
,
&c.
the

;
the
Seeds
of

,
Fenugreek
,

&
Juniper
Berryes
,
and
such
like
,
and

the
part
therewith

Wine
,
and
put
in
a
Bag
,
and
applyed
warm
.
With
the
aforenamed
Ingredients
,
Cataplasms
may
be
made
;
and
with
the
Oyls
following
let
the
part
be
anointed
,
viz.
Oyl
of
Camomill
,
Dill
,
Nord
,
Orice
,
Rue
,
Scorpions
,
Tiles
,
Turpentine
,
of
Foxes
,
and
the
like
:
the
Ointment
of
Marsh-Mallows
,
and
Spanish
Soap
dissolved
in
Spirit
of
Wine
.
This
is
much
commended
:
Take
a
good
Quantity
of
Snails
,
bruise
them
well
in
a
Morter
,
then
make
Paste
with
them
and
Rye
Flower
,
adding
a
little
Spirit
of
Wine
:
and
fasten
it
to
a
Spit
and
roast
it
;
a
Liquor
will
drop
from
it
,
with
which
anoint
the
part
,
for
it
is
of
excellent
Virtue
.
Then
lay
on
this
Plaister
:
Take
of
Shio-Pitch
&
Rozin
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
Gum
Ammoniacum
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
and
Emplastrmm
Diachylon
cum
Gummis
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Brimstone
and
Hermodactylls
powdered
,
of
each
,
three
Drachms
:
Turpentine
,
three
Drachms
,
and
Wax
sufficient
;
make
a
Plaister
.
If
the
Disease
do
still
continue
,
proceed
to
a
Vesicatory
:
add
to
the
former
Mass
for
a
Plaister
,
Cantharides
their
Wings
taken
off
,
Staves-acre
,
and
Mustard
Seed
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
.
In
the
whole
course
of
the
Cure
let
not
frequent
Clisters
be
neglected
.
And
if
the
Disease
be
old
,
make
an
Issue
in
the
Leg
on
the
same
side
,
on
the
outside
of
the
Leg.
If
you
find
Symptoms
of
a
Catarrh
;
which
may
occasion
the
Sciatica
by
a
Defluxion
of
Humours
,
make
an
Issue
in
the
hinder
part
of
the
Head
,
and
use
other
means
to
correct
the
Distempers
of
the
Brain
,
See
Chap.
9.
by
this
means
hath
the
Sciatica
been
cured
,
when
all
other
means
failed
.
Sometimes
the
Matter
causing
the
Sciatica
,
doth
imposthumate
;
and
after
it
is
opened
,
there
remains
a
filthy
Ulcer
,
which
,
for
the
most
part
,
pineth
the
Patient
away
,
&
brings
him
into
a
Consumption
;
The
Cure
whereof
belongeth
to
an
expert
Chirurgion
.

Of
one
day-Feaver
.
THis
Disease
is
called
in
Greek

,
Ephemera
,
in
Latine
Diaria
Febris
,
in
English
One
day-Feaver
,
because
,
for
the
most
part
,
it
finisheth
in
one
day
of
its
own
Nature
.
It
is
caused
by
some
internal
cause
,
as
some
hot
fiery
Swelling
on
some
part
of
the
Body
,
or
when
some
hot
Excrements
,
shut
up
in
some
part
,
do
offend
the
Heart
,
by
Retention
of
Excrements
and
Obstruction
of
the
Vessels
,
by
which
the
Pores
of
the
Skin
are
shut
,
and
Transpiration
is
hindered
.
Or
secondly
it
is
caused
by
externall
causes
,
as
vehement
Motions
of
the
Body
or
Mind
,
by
which
the
Spirits
are
inflamed
,
by
being
heated
with
the
Sun
,
or
Fire
,
by
Surfetting
,
Drunkennesse
,
especially
,
with
Meats
and
Drinks
of
a
hot
Nature
.
By
what
hath
gone
before
,
you
may
know
this
Feaver
:
the
Pulse
is
swift
and
great
,
and
so
he
fetcheth
his
Breath
;
he
is
very
hot
,
and
his
Head
aketh
.
He
hath
no
Shivering
,
Cold
,
nor
Wearinesse
,
unlesse
it
came
by
the
Heat
of
the
Sun
,
or
by
cold
.
You
must
give
the
Sick
such
things
as
are
cooling
&
moistning
,
as
cooling
Broths
,
Barly
Cream
,
Ptisan
Drink
,
small
Beer
and
Sugar
,
Water
and
Sugar
,
or
mix
Sirrup
of
Violets
,
Lemmons
,
or
Maiden-hair
,
with
his
Drink
.
If
the
Disease
was
caused
by
the
Heat
of
the
Sun
,
give
him
cooling
things
,
and
lay
him
in
a
cooling
Lodging
,
and
anoint
his
Temples
with
Vinegar
of
Roses
.
If
he
took
his
Feaver
,
being
in
the
cold
,
provoke
Sweat
;
the
like
observe
if
the
Pores
be
obstructed
.
If
it
come
by
over
eating
and
drinking
,
let
him
take
a
Clister
;
If
evill
Humours
abound
in
the
Blood
and
Body
,
open
a
Vein
and
purge
;
if
putrified
Humours
lodge
in
the
Stomach
,
vomit
.
If
it
continue
above
three
dayes
,
it
degenerates
into
a
simple
Synochus
,
putrid
,
or
Hectick
Feaver
.
CHAP.
LXXXIV
.
Of
the
Feaver
Synochus
non-putrida
.
IF
the
Feaver
aforesaid
light
upon
a
plethorick
Body
,
or
one
who
is
grosse
and
thick
skinned
,
it
turns
to
a
simple
Synochus
.
It
is
known
by
the
corpulent
and
swelling
Habit
of
the
Body
,
high
Colour
of
the
Face
.
He
breathes
with
difficulty
,
he
is
much
pained
in
his
Head
,
and
his
Temples
beat
strongly
.
The
Pulse
is
orderly
,
but
quick
and
full
.
The
Urine
little
differeth
from
its
naturall
colour
,
yet
a
little
thick
and
red
:
and
the
Heat
is
not
very
violent
.
It
lasteth
to
the
fourth
,
and
sometimes
to
the
seuenth
day
;
if
it
ends
not
then
,
it
degenerates
into
a
putrid
Feaver
.
The
Cure
is
to
be
performed
by
blood-letting
,
by
cooling
,
and
by
opening
the
Pores
of
the
Body
.
Before
blood-letting
,
if
the
Patient
be
costive
,
and
his
Body
foul
,
give
an
emollient
and
laxative
Clister
.
Then
give
cooling
Juleps
,
made
of
the
Decoction
of
Barly
and
cool
Herbs
,
or
with
their
distilled
Waters
,
as
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
Sorrell
,
Buglosse
,
Borrage
,
and
the
like
,
with
the
Sirrups
of
Succory
,
Lemmons
,
Vinegar
,
Violets
,
Pomgranates
,
and
the
like
,
adding
some
drops
of
Oyl
of
Vitriol
;
or
boil
in
the
distilled
Waters
Triasantalon
,
or
Diamargariton
frigidum
,
lest
the
Waters
encrease
Crudityes
by
their
Rawness
.
Or
you
may
make
an
Emulsion
of
Almonds
,
the
great
cold
Seeds
,
and
white
Poppy
Seeds
,
with
Barly
water
,
or
the
distilled
Water
of
the
aforegoing
cooling
Herbs
.
Galen
adviseth
,
to
give
the
Patient
cold
water
in
great
abundance
,
till
his
colour
fade
,
but
beware
this
Cure
unlesse
the
Patient
be
strong
,
corpulent
,
and
not
full
of
ill
Humours
,
and
that
he
take
it
in
the
height
of
the
Fit
.
I
confesse
I
have
seen
many
so
cured
,
and
have
experimented
it
upon
my
own
Body
,
but
durst
not
advise
it
.
Anoint
the
Liver
and
Loyns
with
Unguentum
Rosatum
,
Refrigerans
Galeni
,
or
Ceratum
Santalinum
.
Or
make
an
Epithem
of
the
distilled
Waters
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
Sorrell
,
&c.
the
three
Sanders
,
and
Powder
of
Diamargariton
frigidum
.
If
the
Disease
end
not
quickly
after
bleeding
,
purge
with
gentle
things
,
that
do
not
heat
,
nor
much
stirr
the
Humours
,
as
Rubarb
,
Cassia
,
Manna
,
Tamarinds
,
Sirrup
of
Roses
,
Catholicon
,
and
such
like

CHAP.
LXXXV
.
Of
continuall
putrid
Feavers
.
I
Shall
describe
the
causes
and
Cures
of
all
putrid
Feavers
in
one
Chapter
,
for
though
there
are
divers
sorts
,
yet
the
Cure
is
almost
the
same
in
all
;
therefore
,
laying
aside
particular
precepts
,
let
the
Judgment
and
Dexterity
of
every
Physitian
put
a
difference
between
them
.
I
shall
likewise
wave
many
nice
descriptions
and
definitions
of
Feavers
,
first
,
as
not
beneficiall
to
the
young
Student
in
Physick
:
secondly
,
as
not
befitting
this
Volume
.
Synochus
putrida
is
engendred
of
the
same
causes
as
the
simple
Synochus
,
as
the
shutting
up
of
the
Pores
of
the
skin
,
and
Obstruction
of
the
Vessels
by
much
Blood
,
or
clammy
Humours
;
by
which
means
,
the
Transspiration
of
fuliginous
Vapours
is
hindered
,
and
Putrefaction
is
bred
in
the
Blood
.
A
continuall
Tertian
doth
every
third
day
afflict
the
Patient
more
then
ordinary
,
and
is
caused
by
cholerick
Humours
putrifying
in
the
Vena
Cava
.
And
it
is
caused
by
all
things
that
may
breed
Choller
,
as
violent
Exercise
,
hot
and
dry
Air
,
Fasting
,
Watching
,
Meats
hot
and
dry
,
and
a
hot
and
dry
Distemper
of
the
Liver
.
A
Quoridian
continuing
,
is
a
putrifying
of
phlegmatick
Humours
in
the
Veins
;
and
afflicts
the
Patient
more
then
ordinary
every
day
,
and
doth
for
the
most
part
assail
phlegmatick
persons
;
and
because
Phlegm
is
not
easily
putrifyed
,
this
kind
of
Feaver
is
seldom
seen
.
The
continuall
Quartane
is
that
which
hath
its
Exacerbations
or
Fits
every
fourth
day
,
and
it
is
caused
by
the
Putrefaction
of
Melancholy
in
the
Vena
cava
,
and
is
caused
of
any
thing
that
breeds
Melancholy
and
causeth
it
to
putrify
.
Of
these
Feavers
there
are
accidentall
differences
,
raised
from
their
distinct
Symptomes
.
First
,
Febris
ardens
,
or
a
burning
Feaver
,
which
is
accompanied
with
these
Symptomes
,
viz.
an
ardent
burning
Heat
,
and
an
unquenchable
Thirst
;
which
is
also
divided
into
two
sorts
,
a
Legitimate
,
or
bastard
burning
Feaver
,
a
Synochus
ardens
and
Ardens
periodica
,
and
they
differ
one
from
the
other
,
only
as
the
Choller
causing
them
is
more
or
lesse
sharp
,
and
neerer
or
farther
from
the
heart
.
A
Second
sort
is
Febris
Colliquans
,
a
melting
Feaver
,
which
in
regard
of
the
greatness
of
the
Heat
,
doth
melt
the
fat
,
and
Flesh
,
and
sometimes
the
Blood
,
and
dissolveth
it
by
insensible
Transpiration
,
Sweat
,
Urine
,
or
Stool
.
It
is
caused
by
a
sharp
,
thin
,
and
cholerick
Matter
,
vehemently
inflamed
,
unto
which
is
joyned
many
times
a
malignant
and
pestilent
Quality
.
The
third
sort
is
called
Febris
Horrifica
,
in
which
the
Patient
is
troubled
with
shaking
Firs
;
and
it
is
caused
by
chollerick
and
phlegmatick
Humours
mingled
together
,
which
being
unequally
moved
,
stirreth
up
quaking
;
either
because
the
thin
and
sharp
Humours
do
twitch
the
sensible
membranous
parts
,
or
the
inflamed
Choller
putrifying
,
puts
in
Motion
the
Crudityes
;
or
else
Nature
doth
seek
to
shake
off
the
crude
undigested
Humours
,
by
this
means
thโ
Heat
being
driven
back
to
the
Center
,
the
extream
parts
of
the
Body
become
cold
;
and
afterwards
,
the
Heat
comming
forth
again
,
they
grow
hot
.
Fourthly
,
there
is
another
kind
called
Assades
Febris
,
in
which
the
Patient
is
very
unquiet
,
tumbleth
and
tosseth
,
and
is
sick
in
his
Stomach
,
and
vomiteth
.
The
fifth
sort
is
callโd
Elodes
,
in
which
the
Patient
,
by
reason
of
Putrefaction
&
Malignity
of
Humours
,
continually
sweateth
,
by
which
the
Substance
of
the
Body
is
wasted
.
The
sixth
sort
is
Febris
Syncopalis
,
because
the
Patient
often
swoons
&
faints
away
&
it
is
caused
by
thin
,
sharp
,
&
venemous
Choller
,
or
by
Phlegm
,
or
abundance
of
Crudityes
,
together
with
a
weakness
of
the
Stomach
.
The
last
sort
is
Epiala
Febris
,
in
which
the
Patient
is
sensible
of
Heat
&
Cold
at
one
and
the
same
time
;
and
this
is
caused
by
glassy
Phlegm
mingled
with
bitter
Choller
,
the
Phlegm
causeth
a
Sense
of
Cold
,
and
the
Choller
of
Heat
:
or
else
it
is
caused
by
glassy
Phlegm
alone
,
partly
putrified
,
and
partly
void
of
Putrefaction
.
For
glassy
and
tough
Phlegm
doth
not
quickly
putrify
,
but
by
degrees
,
and
that
which
is
not
putrified
following
that
which
is
putrified
,
hence
comes
a
Sense
of
Cold
from
the
first
,
and
Heat
from
the
latter
.
There
are
yet
other
sorts
of
accidentall
differences
of
continuall
Feavers
,
which
are
called
Symptomatick
Feavers
,
which
arise
from
the
Inflammation
and
Putrefaction
of
the
Humours
in
some
of
the
Bowels
,
and
of
this
kind
are
those
Feavers
,
which
accompany
the
Frenzy
,
the
Plurisy
,
Squinzy
,
the
Inflammation
of
the
Lungs
or
Liver
,
and
other
Inflammations
,
Ulcers
,
or
Imposthumes
of
the
internall
parts
,
and
may
be
known
by
the
defects
of
the
parts
,
which
cause
them
.
Yet
take
this
Caution
,
that
all
these
Feavers
which
accompany
these
Diseases
are
not
Symptomaticall
,
but
sometimes
essentiall
,
and
precede
the
Disease
,
as
is
commonly
seen
,
that
one
may
be
sick
three
or
four
dayes
of
a
continuall
Feaver
,
before
any
pain
in
the
side
or
Symptome
of
the
Pleurisy
appear
,
the
samโ
you
may
find
preceding
the
other
Diseases
,
and
is
an
Observation
worth
note
,
and
of
great
Moment
in
the
practise
of
Physick
.
There
are
other
peculiar
and
extraordinary
Causes
,
which
many
times
happen
,
of
which
Zechius
propoundeth
an
extraordinary
example
,
of
a
certain
Infant
,
scarce
two
years
old
,
who
had
a
continuall
Feaver
,
attended
with
grievous
Symptomes
,
viz.
Unquietnesse
,
Convulsions
,
and
Vomitings
;
the
externall
parts
were
cold
,
and
the
internall
parts
burned
with
Heat
,
for
which
cause
they
judged
that
some
Malignity
was
joyned
to
the
Feaver
,
which
is
seldom
accompanied
with
such
Symptomes
:
at
length
the
cause
was
found
to
arise
from
Blood
putrifying
in
the
Stomach
;
for
the
Infant
being
Tongue-tied
,
and
a
little
before
cut
by
a
Chirurgeon
,
the
Veins
,
beingcut
,
shed
Blood
,
which
,
for
want
of
care
,
fell
into
the
Stomach
;
after
the
taking
of
Oyl
of
sweet
Almonds
,
it
vomited
clotted
Blood
,
then
by
the
help
of
a
Clister
,
it
voided
more
downwards
,
and
the
Feaver
and
its
Symptomes
ceased
.
These
Feavers
are
known
to
be
continuall
by
their
Continuity
,
and
the
Putrefaction
is
known
by
a
more
sharp
and
biting
Heat
then
ordinary
;
the
Pulse
is
great
,
quick
,
and
unequall
,
the
Systole
is
quicker
then
the
Diastole
,
because
Nature
doth
more
strive
to
expel
the
sooty
Vapours
,
then
to
draw
in
cold
Air.
The
Fit
beginneth
with
a
cold
Shaking
,
or
some
of
these
Symptomes
,
viz.
Wearinesse
,
Watching
,
troubled
Sleeps
,
difficult
Breathing
,
Pain
of
the
Head
and
Stomach
,
Plenty
of
Excrements
,
Yawning
,
and
Retching
:
when
it
comes
to
the
height
,
these
Symptoms
are
heightned
,
and
seconded
with
Giddinesse
,
Ravings
,
Hiccoughs
,
Heart-burning
,
Thirst
,
and
Blacknesse
and
Roughness
of
the
Tongue
.
Particular
Signs
demonstrate
peculiar
differences
.
The
Synochus
putrida
hath
the
same
Signs
,
which
are
proper
to
Synochus
simplex
,
but
more
vehement
.
Signs
of
a
Feaver
from

Pain

A
Synochus
putrida
differs
from
a
Synochus
biliosa
in
this
,
that
the
first
hath
Fits
every
third
day
,
the
other
keeps
the
same
Tenor.
A
continuall
Quotidian
is
known
by
these
Signes
,
the
Heat
at
first
is
more
mild
,
afterwards
more
sharp
:
the
Pulse
is
not
so
quick
nor
great
as
in
the
former
;
the
Urine
is
at
first
white
and
troubled
,
afterwards
red
and
thick
;
little
Thirst
,
no
Sweat
unlesse
salt
Phlegm
abound
,
the
Face
is
swelled
,
bloat
,
and
of
a
Lead
Colour
,
and
all
Signs
of
Phlegm
appear
.
A
continuall
Quartane
is
known
by
this
,
that
the
Symptomes
are
not
so
violent
as
in
the
chollerick
Feaver
,
and
sharper
then
in
the
phlegmatick
or
Quotidian
.
An
appearance
of
cold
,
dry
,
melancholy-Symptomes
,
and
the
Fits
invade
the
Patient
more
then
ordinary
every
fourth
day
.
The
burning
Feaver
is
known
by
the
Signes
of
a
Feaver
proceeding
from
Choller
.
A
melting
Feaver
is
known
by
a
fat
and
oyly
Urine
chollerick
,
fat
,
clammy
,
and
stinking
Stools
,
the
Nose
sharp
,
and
a
sudden
Consumption
of
the
whole
Body
.
I
need
not
tell
you
how
,
shivering
,
or
tumbling
and
tossing
Feavers
are
known
.
Elodes
is
known
by
inordinate
Sweats
,
abundance
of
Urine
,
and
thick
by
reason
of
Putrefaction
;
the
Stools
shew
an
apparent
Wasting
,
and
the
losse
of
Strength
doth
manifest
the
same
.
Syncopalis
Febris
is
known
by
the
swooning
Fits
:
Epiala
,
by
Heat
and
Cold
felt
together
:
and
Symptomatick
Feavers
,
from
the
Diseases
from
which
they
proceed
.
Signa
Prognostica
:
Synochus
putrida
is
not
without
danger
.
If
Signes
of
Concoction
appear
about
the
fourth
day
,
the
Disease
will
terminate
about
the
seventh
day
.
If
Concoction
appear
not
,
and
the
Patient's
Face
is
swelled
,
it
will
continue
long
.
The
redder
the
Urine
is
,
the
better
,
if
Concoction
appear
;
but
with
Signes
of
Crudity
it
threatens
death
.
White
Urine
is
worst
and
threatens
death
.
Chollerick
Feavers
are
acute
and
dangerous
,
and
so
much
the
more
,
as
the
Symptomes
are
violent
,
and
encreased
above
the
naturall
Temper
of
the
Patient
.
A
continuall
Quotidian
continueth
long
for
the
most
part
,
because
of
the
thickness
of
the
Humours
,
the
more
Evacuations
the
better
;
beware
lest
it
degenerate
into
a
Chachexy
or
Dropsy
.
A
continual
Quartane
is
rare
:
sometimes
the
quartane
Ague
degenerates
thereunto
,
&
is
deadly
,
for
the
most
part
.
The
melting
,
sweating
,
shaking
,
tuฬbling
,
swooning
Feavers
,
are
dangerous
.
Symptomatick
Feavers
are
to
be
judged
from
the
excellency
of
the
part
affected
,
the
Nature
of
the
Distemper
,
and
the
Validiโโฆy
of
the
Patient's
Strength
.
Medicines
in
a
cholerick
Feaver
ought
to
be
cooling
and
moistning
;
in
phlegmatick
and
melancholy
,
more
warm
and
attenuate
.
Let
the
Air
be
cold
and
moist
,
let
cool
Water
be
sprinkled
upon
the
ground
,
with
Herbs
and
Flowers
,
let
the
covering
of
his
Bed
be
light
and
thin
.
Let
his
diet
(
if
he
eat
any
thing
)
be
very
sharp
,
thin
,
and
slender
.
Let
his
drink
be
Barly
Water
,
and
his
Meat
Barly
Broths
,
Pavados
,
and
such
like
.
If
the
Feaver
be
of
long
continuance
,
let
the
Sick
make
use
of
a
fuller
Diet
,
viz.
of
the
Broth
or
Flesh
of
Chickens
,
Hens
,
Capons
,
Partridges
,
Veal
,
Mutton
,
or
Gellyes
made
with
them
.
In
his
drink
or
Barly
Water
let
cool
Herbs
be
boiled
,
and
give
it
a
gratefull
Rellish
with
Spirit
of
Vitriol
.
If
the
Feaver
arise
from
not
and
thin
Choller
,
or
if
there
be
a
Consumption
of
the
Lungs
,
Inflammation
of
the
Stomach
,
bloody
Flux
,
Ulcers
of
Kidneys
and
Bladder
,
or
Pissing
of
Blood
;
sharp
things
are
not
good
,
but
rather
such
things
as
gently
thicken
,
as
Barly
Water
,
with
Sirrup
of
Violets
,
or
of
dryed
Roses
.
Sleep
is
very
good
and
Watching
hurtfull
,
yet
overmuch
Sleep
doth
overwhelm
the
naturall
Heat
,
and
hinder
Evacuation
:
which
ought
to
be
made
,
and
nothing
to
be
retained
,
which
ought
naturally
to
be
expelled
.
First
,
Blood-letting
doth
diminish
Plenitude
of
the
Body
and
Veins
,
pulls
back
the
Humours
which
cause
Obstructions
cooles
the
Body
,
and
makes
it
perspicable
,
keeps
back
Putrefaction
,
and
furthers
Concoction
.
Therefore
after
the
Patient
hath
had
a
Stool
by
Clister
or
otherwise
,
open
a
Vein
,
and
bleed
the
Patient
according
to
his
Strength
and
present
State
.
But
this
observe
,
that
you
bleed
not
in
the
extremity
of
the
Fit
.
When
Weaknesse
or
Age
will
not
permit
a
Vein
to
be
opened
,
Copping-Glasses
must
be
applyed
.
Frictions
must
not
be
used
but
in
swooning
Feavers
.
After
you
have
let
Blood
,
once
,
twice
,
or
thrice
,
if
you
see
occasion
,
come
to
purge
the
morbifick
Matter
;
the
Medicines
for
this
intent
must
be
Cassia
,
Manna
,
Tamarinds
,
Catholicum
,
Electuarium
lenitivum
,
Diaprunum
simplex
,
Sirrup
of
Roses
,
and
of
Succory
with
Rubarb
.
Some
do
object
against
Rubarb
for
its
Heat
,
Manna
and
Sirrup
of
Roses
because
it
is
sweet
and
soon
turned
into
Choller
;
but
being
mingled
with
cool
things
,
or
given
in
cool
Waters
,
they
can
do
no
hurr
.
If
the
Stomach
is
much
afflicted
,
and
the
Patient
is
troubled
with
Vomiting
,
you
must
understand
that
Nature
endeavours
to
cast
out
her
enemy
that
way
,
&
she
ought
to
be
assisted
by
a
Vomit
.
The
gentler
sort
,
and
such
as
are
to
be
chosen
for
weak
people
,
is
the
Oyl
of
Almonds
,
or
common
Oyl
given
in
Barly
Water
;
you
must
give
a
Pint
at
the
least
,
or
else
it
will
hardly
work
the
effect
.
Sirrup
of
Vinegar
or
Oxymel
given
in
the
Decoction
of
Radishes
.
Every
day
or
every
other
day
give
an
emollient
and
refrigerating
Clister
,
such
as
Barly
,
Mallows
,
Violet
leavs
,
and
Mercury
.
Flowers
of
Camomill
,
and
Melilot
,
Seeds
of
Dill
and
Fennell
,
&c.
cooling
Herbs
are
,
Lettice
,
Endive
,
Succory
;
Housleek
,
a
Blade
or
two
,
Water-Lillyes
:
dissolve
therein
Cassia
,
Catholicon
,
Diaprunum
simplex
,
the
Hony
of
Violets
,
and
Mercury
,
Oyl
of
Water-Lillyes
,
Violets
,
&c.
If
the
Disease
spring
from
Phlegm
,
leave
out
the
cooling
Herbs
,
and
dissolve
in
it
Hiera
Picra
,
Diaphaenicon
,
Hony
of
Roses
and
Mercury
,
Oyl
of
Camomill
,
Dill
,
or
common
Oyl
.
No
absolute
and
perfect
Purgation
ought
to
be
administred
,
till
the
Morbisick
cause
be
ripened
and
digested
,
which
must
be
done
by
Juleps
,
thus
:
Take
of
the
distilled
Waters
of
Endive
,
Succory
,
and
Sorrell
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
;
Sirrup
of
Lemmons
and
Violets
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
;
a
little
Oyl
of
Vitriol
to
sharpen
it
;
make
a
Julep
,
and
let
the
Sick
take
a
Spoenfull
or
two
,
often
.
Or
you
may
make
a
Decoction
of
the
Roots
of
Sorrell
,
Succory
,
Maiden-hair
,
Endive
,
Dandelion
,
Tamarinds
,
and
such
like
,
and
make
a
Julep
with
the
aforesaid
sirrups
,
or
the
Sirrup
of
Vinegar
and
Pomgranats
.
If
the
Choller
by
its
sharpnesse
cause
a
Flux
,
make
Juleps
which
have
a
thickning
Quality
:
Take
of
the
waters
of
Lettice
,
Purslane
,
and
Plantane
,
of
each
,
three
Ounces
:
the
Sirrups
of
Violets
and
Water-Lillyes
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
;
of
red
Poppyes
,
half
an
Ounce
;
mix
them
and
make
a
Julep
.
If
the
Feaver
comes
from
a
phlegmatick
cause
,
you
must
give
things
more
cutting
and
attenuating
,
as
a
Decoction
of
Agrimony
,
Maiden-hair
,
Betony
,
Carduus
Benedictus
,
and
the
five
opening
Roots
,
Liquorish
,
Raisons
,
and
such
like
;
and
the
Sirrups
of
Vinegar
,
Maiden

,
and

Tamarisk
,
and
with
any
of
their
Sirrups

make
a
Julep
.
Or
with
such
like
Ingredients
,
(
according
to
the
Nature
of
the
peccant
Humour
)
you
may
make
physicall
Broths
,
or
Emulsions
,
and
Almond
Milks
.
Likewise

of
the
aforesaid
Ingredients
you
may

CHAP.
LXXXVI
.
Of
the
Hectick
Feaver
.
AN
hectick
Feaver
occupies
the
solid
parts
of
the
Body
,
as
well
as
the
Spirits
;
it
is
an
unnaturall
Heat
,
of
which
the
Patient
is
scarce
sensible
.
This
Feaver
is
either
primary
,
and
begins
of
it self
,
or
secundary
,
and
followeth
some
other
Feaver
.
Some
begin
at
the
Heart
,
and
some
at
other
parts
,
as
the
Lungs
,
Liver
,
Spleen
,
Kidneys
,
Womb
,
or
other
parts
inflamed
.
The
causes
of
this
Feaver
are
externall
or
internall
;
Externall
causes
are
all
that
may
occasion
any
of
the
other
Feavers
.
The
Internall
Causes
are
burning
and
pestilentiall
Feavers
,
which
do
speedily
consume
the
Moisture
of
the
Heart
;
or
some
lingring
Feaver
.
An
Inflammation
,
Ulcer
,
Putrefaction
of
any
of
the
inward
parts
,
may
cause
an
hectick
Heaver
.
An
hectick
Feaver
is
known
easily
,
because
it
is
continuall
,
without
encreasing
or
decreasing
,
saving
a
little
after
Meat
;
the
Pulse
is
little
frequent
and
quick
;
the
Arteryes
are
hotter
then
the
other
parts
;
the
Urine
appeareth
as
of
a
healthy
man
,
but
after
long
continuance
there
is
an
Oyl
swims
on
the
top
,
and
a
Sediment
like
to
Meal
,
which
signifieth
the
Wasting
of
the
Body
.
An
hectick
Feaver
may
be
cured
,
unlesse
it
be
neglected
till
it
come
to
the
height
,
that
is
,
when
the
Eyes
are
hollow
,
dry
with
dry
Excrements
,
the
Bones
stick
out
,
and
the
Colour
of
the
Face
is
gone
,
the
Skin
is
dry
,
and
the
Midriff
so
contracted
as
if
the
Patient
had
no
Guts
,
then
it
is
incurable
.
If
the
hectick
Feaver
depend
upon
the
Disease
of
any
other
part
,
the
Cure
must
be
directed
to
that
Discase
;
and
if
it
be
joyned
with
any
other
Disease
,
respect
must
be
had
to
that
Disease
.
The
Cure
of
the
hectick
consisteth
more
in
a
due
observance
of
Diet
,
then
in
Medicines
.
His
Diet
must
be
cool
&
moisten
,
and
soon
nourish
;
as
Chicken
Broths
,
or
Broth
made
of
Hens
,
Capons
,
Veal
,
Kid
,
Mutton
;
in
which
boil
French
Barly
,
Lettice
;
Endive
,
Succory
,
Sorrell
,
Burrage
,
Purslane
,
and
such
like
.
The
Flesh
of
young
Hares
,
Pheasants
,
and
young
Partridges
are
good
;
Panados
,
Water
Gruell
,
Barly
cream
,
Rice
pottage
,
with
Almonds
or
the
cold
Seeds
.
Boiled
Meat
is
better
then
rosted
,
and
if
the
Patient
eateth
rosted
Meat
,
let
Oranges
and
Lemmons
be
his
Sauce
.
For
his
Diet
likewise
may
be
prepared
,
Gellyes
made
of
Capons
,
Knuckles
of
Veal
and
Mutton
,
Calves
Feet
,
Sheeps
Feet
,
and
such
like
,
adding
Herbs
or
other
Ingredients
that
are
cooling
,
moistning
,
and
cordiall
.
New
laid
Egs
,
boiled
rear
,
are
good
;
and
of
Fruit
,
Apples
are
much
commended
,
especially
Pippins
,
because
they
breed
cold
Blood
.
For
his
drink
,
let
him
use
Barly
Water
with
cooling
Sirrups
.
Galen
approveth
of
cold
Water
,
with
which
he
saith
he
hath
saved
many
from
the
Marasmos
,
which
is
the
Consumption
of
the
radicall
Moisture
of
the
Body
,
which
commonly
followeth
this
Disease
.
Great
care
is
to
be
used
in
the
giving
of
cold
Water
,
to
decayed
people
,
lest
the
heat
of
the
Patient
should
be
wholly
extinguished
.
Motion
and
much
Stirring
,
and
Labour
,
is
not
good
,
yet
a
little
Exercise
before
Meat
may
be
allowed
of
:
But
above
all
Excrcises
,
let
him
beware
of
the
Under-sheet
.
Let
his
Sleep
be
moderated
;
if
he
be
costive
,
provoke
a
Stool
by
a
Suppository
,
or
gentle
Clisters
.
Purges
are
not
to
be
allowed
of
,
because
the
Body
hath
more
need
of
repairing
then
weakning
:
yet
if
the
Body
be
full
of
Excrements
,
you
may
venture
to
give
gentle
Purgers
,
as
Cassia
,
Manna
,
&c.
Cooling
and
altering
Juleps
,
such
as
are
prescribed
in
the
Chapter
before
going
,
the
Patient
make
use
of
,
but
let
him
beware
of
the
too
frequent
use
of
them
,
lest
they
diminish
his
Heat
too
much
.
Such
Epithems
,
Unguents
,
or
Oyles
mentioned
in
the
aforegoing
Chapter
,
are
good
to
temper
the
Heat
of
the
Lover
.
Lastly
,
such
Medicines
,
mentioned
in
the
former
Chapter
,
as
strengthen
Nature
and
revive
the
Spirits
may
be
used
,
and
there
is
need
enough
thereof
.
The
worst
Symptome
that
can

CHAP.
LXXXVII
.
Of
the
Tertian
Ague
.
THis
Disease
is
divided
into
an
Exquisite
and
Bastard
Tertian
;
the
exquisite
is
terminated
in
12
hours
;
but
a
bastard
lasteth
lenger
:
if
it
exceed
twenty
four
hours
it
is
called
Tertiana
extensa
,
a
Tertian
extended
.
The
Tertian
Ague
is
Simple
,
Double
,
or
Triple
;
the
Simple
is
that
which
cometh
every
other
day
;
the
Double
Tertian
cometh
every
day
,
and
shall
be
distinguished
from
the
Quotidian
in
its
proper
place
;
and
sometimes
the
Patient
hath
two
Fits
in
one
day
.
The
Triple
Tertian
is
when
the
Patient
hath
three
Fits
in
two
dayes
.
Choller
and
such
things
as
engender
it
,
are
the
cause
of
this
Disease
,
viz.
a
hot
and
dry
Distemper
of
the
Spleen
,
youthfull
Age
,
hot
Air
,
Watchings
,
Cares
,
Anger
,
Fastings
,
use
of
hot
Meats
,
and
overmuch
Exercise
.
Those
that
have
hot
Livers
,
that
eat
and
drink
liberally
,
and
such
things
as
breed
Crudityes
,
Phlegm
,
and
melancholy
Humours
,
are
subject
to
bastard
Tertians
,
by
reason
of
the
Mixture
of
Choller
with
the
Crudityes
.
The
exquisite
Tertian
doth
alwayes
begin
with
shaking
,
the
Quotidian
begins
with
a
light
Shivering
or
Coldnesse
.
After
the
cold
Fit
,
followeth
great
Heat
,
sharp
biting
and
intolerable
Thirst
,
and
sometimes
all
the
Symptomes
of
a
putrid
Tertian
Feaver
.
In
the
bastard
Tertian
all
the
foregoing
Signes
appear
,
but
more
remisse
,
and
more
vehement
then
a
Quotidian
;
according
as
more
or
lesse
Phlegm
is
mingled
with
the
Choller
,
this
Disease
cometh
nearer
to
a
Quotidian
,
or
exquisite
Tertian
.
A
Legitimate
Tertian
seldom
lasteth
above
seven
dayes
,
and
is
not
dangerous
,
unlesse
some
Malignity
be
joyned
with
it
;
and
the
Patient
be
of
a
healthy
constitution
,
and
temperate
in
eating
,
and
drinking
;
judg
the
contrary
,
if
the
Patient
is
otherwise
qualifyed
.
If
the
Patient's
Lips
break
out
with
Scabs
,
or
if
he
fall
into
a
Loosenesse
these
are
good
Signes
;
for
Nature
is
turning
out
the
Enemy
.
To
work
the
Cure
,
a
cooling
Diet
must
be
appointed
,
and
withall
moistning
,
such
as
hath
been
prescribed
in
the
Cure
of
continuall
Feavers
,
the
same
you
must
observe
in
the
double
Tertian
.
But
in
the
bastard
and
Single
Tertian
,
a
fuller
Diet
is
to
be
observed
.
What
ever
the
Patient
โateth
let
him
eat
nothing
before
the
Fit
,
two
or
three
hours
,
that
there
may
be
a
digesture
;
but
it
is
good
if
he
go
to
Stool
before
the
Fit
,
to
help
the
same
give
a
Clister
.
Clisters
,
in
an
exquisite
Tertian
,
must
be
made
of
emollient
and
cooling
Decoctions
,
adding
Cassia
,
Catholicon
,
Diaprunum
lenitive
and
solutive
,
&c.
In
a
bastard
Tertian
let
the
Decoction
be
emollient
and
cutting
,
and
dissolve
in
it
Diaphaenicon
,
Hony
of
Roses
,
&c.
Purgatives
ought
to
be
the
same
for
the
exquisite
Tertian
,
as
for
the
continuall
Feavers
.
In
the
Bastard
,
add
Agarick
,
Catholicum
,
Diaphaenicon
,
Sena
,
and
such
as
the
judicious
Physitian
shall
judg
suitable
,
in
respect
of
the
Patient's
Constitution
,
and
the
Humors
offending
.
But
to
every
Medicine
cream
of
Tartar
may
be
added
,
for
it
openeth
,
cleanseth
,
and
cools
.
If
the
Patient
be
subject
to
vomit
,
go
that
way
to
work
as
I
said
in
the
last
Chapter
.
Open
a
Vein
&
draw
Blood
as
often
,
or
as
much
,
as
you
see
occasion
.
Prepare
the
Humours
with
Juleps
,
as
you
are
taught
in
the
last
Chapter
,
then
purge
.
If
the
Humours
be
stubborn
,
and
the
Fit
continue
,
make
a
Decoction
of
Wormwood
and
Century
,
with
cool
Herbs
to
qualify
the
Heat
,
it
is
much
commended
;
after
the
use
of
that
purge
again
.
If
there
be
a
Distension
under
the
short
Ribs
,
apply
an
emollient
,
attenuating
,
and
strengthning
Fomentation
.
What
ever
part
of
the
Body
is
ill
disposed
,
have
a
regard
to
that
in
all
your
Medicines
.
The
Spirit
of
Sulphur
is
much
magnified
,
for
extinguishing
the
Heat
of
Feavers
,
and
if
the
Humours
be
thin
it
sends
them
forth
by
Sweat
:
give
from
half
a
Scruple
to
a
Scruple
in
four
Ounces
of
Purslane
Water
.
Or
you
may
give
it
thus
:
Take
of
Salt
of
Wormwood
,
half
a
Drathm
:
Spirit
of
Sulphur
,
a
Scruple
:
Carduus
Water
,
four
Ounces
:
mix
them
,
and
give
the
Patient
to
drink
,
when
the
Fit
approcheth
,
and
lay
him
to
sweat
.
Those
things
,
which
are
usually
laid
to
the
Wrists
by
the
common
people
,
are
not
to
be
despised
,
I
shall
not
insert
them
,
nor
more
Receipts
,
for
the
cure
of
this
Ague
;
First
,
it
being
my
cheifest
end
to
describe
the
Causes
and
Signes
of
Diseases
;
Secondly
,
almost
every
womans
Head
is
full
of
Medicines
against
an
Ague
.
CHAP.
LXXXVIII
.
Of
the
Quotidian
or
every
day-Ague
.
THis
Ague
is
caused
by
Phlegm
putrefying
in
the
first
Region
of
the
Body
:
therefore
all
things
that
breed
Phlegm
in
the
Body
may
be
the
Cause
thereof
.
The
Diagnostick
signes
are
such
as
testify
Phlegm
to
abound
in
the
Body
,
as
white
colour
,
pale
,
dull
Sense
,
Softnesse
and
Fatnesse
,
Profoundnesse
of
Sleep
,
and
Droaming
of
Water
.
It
comes
with
a
cold
shlvering
,
little
or
noe
shaking
;
and
for
the
most
part
it
comes
in
the
Night
.
After
the
cold
Fit
the
Patient
feels
Heat
but
mildly
,
not
scorching
,
little
Thirst
:
the
Pulse
is
small
,
seldom
,
and
slow
;
there
is
a
Distension
about
the
short
Ribs
:
the
Fits
appear
more
intense
or
remisse
,
last
longer
or
shotter
,
as
the
Phlegm
is
simple
or
mingled
with
other
Humours
:
the
Fit
commonly
lasteth
twelv
hours
,
and
then
leaveth
a
feavourish
Fit
behind
it
.
Sometimes
it
lasteth
twenty
four
hours
,
and
is
almost
like
a
continuall
Feaver
.
There
is
a
difference
found
in
respect
of
the
Nature
of
the
Phlegm
,
for
salt
Phlegm
makes
the
Patient
thirsty
;
sharp
Phlegm
,
hungry
;
sweet
Phlegm
,
sleepy
:
If
the
Phlegm
hath
no
Tast
,
it
maketh
him
without
Appetite
.
Acid
or
glassy
Phlegm
(
by
reason
of
its
Coldnesse
)
causeth
shaking
.
This
Disease
for
the
most
part
continueth
long
,
and
is
not
without
danger
,
because
it
sometimes
degenerates
into
a
Cachexia
,
Dropsy
,
or
Lethargy
.
The
Diet
and
Medicines
must
be
such
as
have
an
extenuating
,
cutting
,
and
dividing
Quality
.
The
Cure
must
be
performed
almost
in
the
same
Manner
,
as
the
bastardly
Tertian
:
Zacutus
Lusitanus
doth
much
commend
the
Decoction
of
Roman
Wotmwood
and
Camomill
Flowers
,
if
five
or
six
Ounces
be
adminisred
.
And
the
Decoction
of
China
and
Guajacum
for
many
dayes
,
but
beware
it
dry
not
too
much
.
CHAP.
LXXXIX
.
Of
the
Quartane
Ague
.
AN
intermitting
Quartane
is
caused
of
Melancholy
putrifying
in
the
Body
.
There
are
two
sorts
of
Quartan
Agues
,
viz.
a
Legitimate
and
a
Bastard
Quartane
:
a
Legitimate
is
bred
of
naturall
Melancholy
,
which
is
the
carthly
part
of
our
Nourishment
,
in
quality
cold
and
dry
.
The
bastard
Quartane
is
bred
of
preternaturall
Melancholy
,
which
is
bred
of
adust
Choller
,
and
is
hot
and
dry
,
or
by
Melancholy
mixed
with
adust
Choller
.
A
Quartane
Ague
is
either
single
,
double
,
or
triple
,
the
single
is
that
which
comes
every
fourth
day
.
The
double
is
when
two
Fits
happen
upon
two
dayes
one
after
another
,
and
the
third
day
none
.
The
Triple
Quartane
is
when
Fits
come
every
as
in
a
Quotidian
,
and
double
Tertian
.
Diagnostick
Signes
of
a
Quartane
,
are
,
the
Ague
coming
every
fourth
day
,
and
Melancholy
abounding
in
the
Body
:
it
begins
with
gaping
and
stretching
,
heavinesse
of
the
Body
;
shivering
and
shaking
follows
,
as
if
it
would
break
the
Patient's
Bones
.
The
Pulse
is
seldom
and
slow
:
the
Urine
watry
,
thin
,
and
white
,
after
a
while
it
is
higher
coloured
and
thicker
.
The
bastard
Quartane
(
for
the
most
part
)
follows
other
Feavers
or
Agues
,
by
which
Adustion
of
Humours
is
made
;
and
in
it
the
Feaver
,
Heat
and
Thirst
,
is
more
violent
,
and
all
the
Symptomes
are
greater
,
because
the
Humours
are
thinner
.
A
double
Quartane
is
known
by
the
course
of
the
Fits
.
A
triple
Quartane
is
distinguished
from
a
double
Tertian
,
or
Quotidian
,
by
Melancholy
abounding
;
and
by
the
course
of
the
Fits
;
and
chiefly
in
this
,
that
at
first
it
was
a
simple
or
double
Quartane
.
Prognosticks
are
thus
made
:
This
of
all
Agues
is
the
longest
of
Continuance
,
some
continue
half
a
year
,
some
a
year
,
and
some
longer
.
It
is
good
in
this
Ague
for
the
Patient
to
void
black
Urine
.
The
bastard
Quartane
is
not
of
so
long
continuance
as
the
Legitimate
,
because
it
proceeds
from
thinner
Humours
then
the
other
.
The
Legitimate
is
not
so
dangerous
as
the
other
,
which
hath
many
times
dangerous
Symptomes
,
especially
if
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
or
any
of
the
interior
parts
,
be
damnified
,
because
it
is
sometimes
degenerated
into
a
Dropsy
.
If
any
aged
above
sixty
fall
into
the
Quartane
Ague
,
it
proveth
mortall
.
If
the
intermitting
Quartane
degenerate
into
a
continuall
,
it
is
for
the
most
part
deadly
.
To
bleed
at
the
Nose
in
a
Quartane
Ague
is
but
a
bad
Sign
,
because
the
morbifick
Humours
are
too
thick
for
such
an
Evacuation
.
If
a
bloody
Flux
come
upon
a
Quartane
Ague
and
continue
but
a
while
,
it
is
good
.
A
bastard
Quartane
is
cured
almost
with
the
same
Medicines
,
which
have
been
prescribed
for
the
Cure
of
a
Tertian
;
to
them
adding
such
Medicines
as
regard
Melancholy
,
and
free
the
Spleen
from
Disaffection
.
Seeing
the
Legitimate
Quartane
is
caused
of
Humours
that
are
cold
and
dry
,
thick
and
earthly
,
we
must
use
Medicines
that
do
heat
,
moisten
,
and
attenuate
.
Let
the
Patient's
Diet
be
heating
and
moistning
,
of
good
Juyce
,
easy
of
digesture
,
and
of
thin
substance
:
as
rear
Egs
,
yong
Animals
,
and
Birds
of
Mountains
,
Fishes
of
stony
Rivers
:
among
Herbs
,
Borrage
,
Buglosse
,
Spinach
,
Fennell
,
Parsly
,
and
Turneps
;
Crato
doth
much
commend
the
Broth
of
Turneps
:
of
Fruits
,
Almonds
,
Apples
,
stewed
Prunes
,
Figs
,
Raisons
,
Dates
,
and
Pine-kernells
.
Let
him
abstain
from
all
Meats
,
which
are
of
a
thick
and
clammy
Substance
,
and
of
hard
digesture
:
let
him
drink
small
Ale
or
Beer
;
let
him
eat
moderately
,
and
on
the
Fit
day
,
six
hours
before
the
Fit
cometh
:
let
him
be
very
moderate
in
drinking
,
for
much
drink
fills
the
Spleen
and
makes
the
Disease
rebellious
.
Having
thus
ordered
his
Diet
,
give
him
a
gentle
Purgation
by
Clister
:
Take
of
Mallows
,
Camomill
,
Mercury
,
and
Beets
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
Polypody
of
the
Oak
,
an
Ounce
and
an
half
:
Epithimum
,
half
an
Ounce
:
of
the
four
greater
cold
Seeds
,
and
of
Annis
,
and
Fennell
,
of
each
,
two
Drachms
:
boil
it
in
Posset
drink
to
a
Pint
:
strainit
,
dissolve
therein
Catholicon
and
Hony
of
Roses
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Oyls
of
Violets
and
Camomill
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
,
mix
all
and
make
a
Clister
.
Then
purge
the
Melancholy
Humour
by
some
gentle
Medicine
,
beware
of
a
strong
purge
in
the
beginning
before
Concoction
,
lest
you
inflame
the
Humours
,
and
turn
the
Disease
to
a
continuall
,
or
at
least
to
a
Double
or
Triple
Quartane
.
Make
a
gentle
Purgation
thus
:
Take
of
Fumitory
,
Buglosse
,
&
Maiden-hair
,
of
each
,
one
Handfull
:
Polypody
of
the
Oak
,
Liquorish
,
and
sweet
Fennell
Seed
,
of
each
,
half
an
Ounce
:
boil
them
;
when
they
are
boiled
,
infuse
or
gently
boil
half
an
Ounce
of
Senna
,
till
the
Liquor
come
to
three
or
four
Ounces
:
dissolve
therein
Manna
,
and
Sirrup
of
Roses
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
,
for
a
Potion
:
give
it
the
next
day
after
the
Clister
.
After
purgeing
open
a
Vein
in
the
left
Arm
,
unlesse
you
find
the
Liver
out
of
order
,
then
you
must
open
a
Vein
in
the
right
Arm
;
if
the
Blood
be
black
and
impure
,
draw
the
more
,
Most
do
let
Blood
upon
the
well-day
,
some
will
have
it
done
on
the
Fit-day
before
the
Fit
,
because
the
Humours
then
begin
to
stirr
:
Zacutus
Lusitanus
will
have
it
done
when
the
Moon
is
at
the
full
,
because
,
by
the
Moons
Influence
,
the
earthy
and
melancholy
Humour
is
made
more
fluid
and
apt
to
come
away
.
It
is
good
to
open
the
Haemorrhoids
,
if
your
Patient
hath
been
inclinable
to
that
Evacuation
:
if
your
Patient
be
a
Woman
,
provoke
the
Menstrues
if
they
be
stopped
,
and
open
the
Saphaena
.
The
opening
of
the
Vena
Salvatella
is
much
approved
of
.
Likewise
you
must
make
Decoctions
,
Broths
or
Juleps
to
prepare
and
concoct
the
Humours
;
for
which
purpose
these
Simples
are
good
,
viz.
the
five
opening
Roots
,
and
the
Root
of
Succory
,
Liquorish
,
and
Buglosse
:
Bark
of
Tamarisk
:
The
Leavs
of
Burrage
,
Buglosse
,
Ceterach
,
Maiden-hair
,
Fumitory
,
Germander
,
ground-Pine
,
Wormwood
,
and
Century
,
the
three
cordiall
Flowers
:
of
these
you
may
make
Decoctions
,
and
sweeten
them
with
Sirrupus
Bizantius
or
Sirrup
of
Maiden-hair
.
After
the
use
of
these
preparatives
purge
the
melancholy
Humour
;
and
between
the
dayes
you
purge
,
give
a
Clister
,
this
observing
,
that
you
often
change
your
Medicines
,
and
continue
in
the
course
a
long
time
;
for
the
melancholy
Humour
is
not
soon
evacuated
;
and
that
is
the
reason
that
so
few
are
cured
of
this
Disease
,
because
few
will
observe
the
Rule
of
the
Physitian
,
or
have
patience
to
take
his
Medicines
.
Vomits
,
in
the
beginning
of
this
Feaver
,
are
commended
by
all
;
of
Asarum
,
a
Drachm
given
in
white-Wine
,
is
of
an
excellent
Faculty
.
In
the
declination
of
the
Disease
,
Diaphoreticks
may
be
given
to
discusse
the
reliques
of
the
Disease
,
the
Decoction
of
the
Roots
of
China
&
Sarsa
are
good
,
and
Venice-Treacle
hath
great
virtue
.
You
may
anoint
the
back-Bone
with
a
Liniment
made
of
some
of
these
Oyls
,
viz.
of
Dill
,
Camomill
,
Orice
,
Costus
,
Rue
,
Bayes
,
and
Spike
in
a
small
Quantity
:
mixing
with
them
,
Treacle
,
Cloves
,
Mustard
Seed
,
Castoreum
,
and
the
like
;
of
these
an
ingenious
Man
may
compound
a
Liniment
to
anoint
the
Back
bone
,
one
hour
before
the
Fit
;
then
lay
him
to
Bed
,
and
lay
hot
Tyles
,
wrapt
in
cloaths
,
to
his
Feet
and
Hands
,
and
lay
him
in
a
Sweat
.
To
conclude
,
great
care
ought
to
be
had
of
the
Spleen
,
for
in
this
Disease
the
Spleen
is
disaffected
,
and
obstructed
:
The
59
Chapter
will
furnish
you
with
such
Medicines

CHAP.
XC
.
Of
the
Pestilence
.
HAving
briefly
treated
of
most
Diseases
that
the
Body
of
man
is
incident
to
,
I
thought
it
convenient
to
write
a
word
or
two
of
the
Pestilence
.
But
considering
how
many
larger
Treatises
thereof
are
at
this
day
extant
,
I
could
have
willingly
omitted
it
,
but
hoping
my
Mite
will
not
onely
be
acceptable
but
beneficiall
,
I
thought
good
to
epitomize
this
as
well
as
the
rest
.
This
Disease
afflicteth
Nature
,
not
onely
by
a
bare
Distemper
or
Heat
arising
from
Putrefaction
,
but
also
by
a
malignant
and
venemous
Quality
:
by
which
means
it
becomes
popular
and
epidemicall
.
Before
we
goe
any
farther
,
know
that
those
Feavers
which
we
call
malignant
or
pestilentiall
,
vulgarly
spotted
Feavers
,
are
of
the
same
kind
with
the
Pestilence
,
and
are
cured
by
the
same
means
.
The
causes
of
the
Pestilence
are
either
internall
or
externall
;
the
internall
causes
are
immediate
,
or
mediate
:
The
Immediate
cause
is
a
Corruption
of
the
Humours
with
Putrefaction
,
the
venemous
Quality
is
bred
of
Corruption
,
and
from
Putrefaction
the
Feaver
is
bred
.
The
Mediate
causes
are
Fulnesse
of
Blood
which
Nature
cannot
master
,
but
easily
turnes
to
Putrefaction
:
Abundance
of
evill
Humours
is
easily
corrupted
and
putrified
:
to
these
,
joyn
Obstructions
,
which
is
a
great
means
to
breed
such
Diseases
;
for
such
Humours
,
close
shut
up
in
the
Body
,
and
having
no
Evacuation
not
Transspiration
,
must
of
necessity
putrify
.
But
Obstruction
is
not
a
principall
cause
of
this
Disease
,
for
the
venemous
Quality
is
received
by
drawing
in
of
the
Air
,
by
which
Venom
the
Humours
are
changed
from
their
naturall
condition
,
and
,
of
their
own
accord
,
putrify
.
The
externall
Causes
are
,
First
,
the
Air
,
which
becomes
hurtfull
to
men
,
first
,
if
it
be
not
blown
through
with
wholesome
Winds
,
as
Hippocrates
observeth
,
speaking
of
a
grievous
pestilentiall
year
,
that
in
that
year
there
were
few
Winds
.
Secondly
,
the
Air
may
be
vitious
by
putrid
Exhalations
,
as
of
Lakes
,
Pools
,
Fish-ponds
,
or
other
standing
Waters
,
or
from
Bodyes
unburied
,
which
have
been
slain
in
Battail
.
Thirdly
,
the
Air
may
become
hurtfull
by
Excesse
,
or
the
praeposterous
condition
of
the
first
Qualityes
,
as
Excesse
of
Heat
,
Cold
,
Drithe
,
or
Moisture
,
of
which
I
could
lay
down
manifold
Examples
,
which
befit
not
my
small
Volume
.
Inequalityes
of
Seasons
must
be
acknowledged
as
a
cause
,
when
it
is
sometimes
hot
and
sometimes
cold
,
sometimes
dry
and
suddenly
Moisture
follows
;
one
while
vehemently
hot
,
and
suddenly
very
cold
;
or
after
a
violent
wet
and
moist
time
,
a
sudden
and
extream
Drouth
:
a
hot
Winter
and
a
cold
Summer
.
Next
to
vitious
Air
,
is
a
bad
Aliment
and
Diet
,
when
the
Fruits
of
the
Earth
,
by
a
bad
Temperature
of
the
Air
,
are
corrupted
;
or
when
,
by
reason
of
Scarcity
,
the
Poor
are
fain
to
feed
on
unwholesome
Diet
,
(
whence
the
proverb
came
,
the
Plague
followeth
the
Famine
)
or
a
great
Plenty
following
a
Famine
,
when
the
poor
gorge
themselves
,
which
,
for
want
of
Heat
and
a
good
Disposition
of
Body
,
cannot
be
digested
,
but
turns
to
Putrefaction
.
Add
to
these
the
malignant
Influence
of
Saturn
,
Jupiter
,
and
Mars
,
in
humane
Signes
,
by
which
the
Constitution
of
the
Air
and
the
Bodyes
of
men
are
changed
and
corrupted
:
for
all
Philosophers
by
common
consent
acknowledge
,
that
inferiour
Bodyes
are
governed
by
the
heavenly
Constellations
:
To
this
kind
we
must
add
the
defects
and
Eclipses
of
the
Sun
and
Moon
,
and
unusuall
Meteors
,
especally
blazing
Starrs
.
Above
all
causes
,
let
us
not
be
unmindfull
of
the
strict
&
severe
Judgment
of
God
,
for
the
sinnes
of
Mankind
:
For
many
times
he
is
pleased
to
punish
our
Sins
and
Offences
by
this
Judgment
;
as
the
Scriptures
do
frequently
prove
.
To
these
non-naturall
causes
afore
mentioned
,
we
must
add
the
Retention
of
Womens
Courses
,
the
Haemorrhoids
in
men
,
or
some
usuall
Evacuation
,
Idlenesse
,
or
too
much
Sleep
,
Anger
,
Sadnesse
,
or
other
Passions
of
the
mind
.
Signes
,
that
shew
the
Pestilence
approaching
,
are
taken
from
the
presence
of
Causes
before
mentioned
.
Those
Bodyes
are
disposed
to
receive
pestilentiall
Infection
,
which
have
collected
evill
Juyces
and
Diet
,
and
have
had
a
praeposterous
use
of
the
non-naturall
things
afore
specifyed
.
The
cheif
Signes
,
which
shew
the
Body
to
be
infected
;
the
Hโart
is
much
afflicted
,
Cardialgia
,
and
Heart-burning
,
and
pain
about
the
Mouth
of
the
Stomach
:
sometimes
great
Thirst
,
exceeding
the
Measure
of
the
Patient's
Heat
;
somtimes
Want
of
Thirst
,
yet
a
vehement
Feaver
and
Drinesse
of
the
Tongue
:
Want
of
Appetire
and
abhorring
of
all
Meat
,
and
vomiting
up
what
ever
Food
,
Drink
,
Juleps
,
or
Emulsions
is
given
,
and
their
Thirst
continue
,
and
the
Tongue
black
:
A
frequent
and
inordinate
shivering
,
which
comes
divers
times
in
a
day
:
Wearinesse
and
Heavinesse
of
the
whole
Body
:
Pains
of
the
Head
,
Watchings
,
and
Ravings
:
Some
are
very
drousy
and
sleepy
,
then
judge
that
the
Brain
is
full
of
phlegmatick
Excrements
.
To
some
there
happen
cholerick
Fluxes
,
which
stink
very
much
.
Frequent
Sweats
,
small
,
short
,
and
unprofitable
,
do
break
forth
:
the
Heat
is
mild
and
gentle
to
the
Feet
,
because
the
Disease
is
caused
rather
by
a
malignant
and
venemous
Quality
,
then
by
Putrefaction
.
Rednesse
of
the
eyes
,
and
sometimes
a
frowning
or
a
furious
look
.
Sometimes
abmndance
of
Worms
are
voided
,
which
shew
a
great
Putrefaction
.
The
Urine
is
sometimes
like
the
Urine
of
a
sound
man
,
if
a
malignant
Quality
doth
rather
offend
then
Putrefaction
:
sometimes
it
appeareth
thick
,
troubled
,
and
high
coloured
,
and
hath
a
thick
,
red
,
and
scattered
Sediment
.
On
some
,
purple
Spots
like
Flea-bitings
:
Carbuncles
,
and
Risings
in
the
Groin
,
behind
the
Ears
,
and
under
the
Atmpits
.
Those
Spots
upon
the
Bodyes
of
the
dead
,
which
are
of
a
Lead-colour
or
black
,
do
especially
denote
the
Pestilence
.
No
certain
Prognostick
can
be
drawn
of
this
Discase
,
therefore
the
discreet
Physitian
ought
to
suspend
his
Judgment
of
the
issue
thereof
:
For
many
have
died
,
notwithstanding
many
hopes
and
testimonyes
of
recovery
;
and
,
on
the
contrary
,
many
have
escaped
,
with
most
mortall
signes
.
Yet
it
is
lawfull
for
the
Phisitian
to
give
his
conjecture
thus
;
If
the
Pulse
keep
a
Tenor
and
equality
there
is
some
hopes
;
on
the
contrary
,
if
it
be
inordinate
,
unequall
,
and
contracted
,
it
is
dangerous
.
If
the
Pulse
be
like
the
Pulse
of
an
healthy
person
,
it
is
dangerous
;
because
it
is
a
sign
that
Nature
doth
not
labour
to
concoct
the
Humours
,
for
her
own
deliverance
.
Raving
is
not
dangerous
if
it
be
lessened
by
Sleep
,
but
if
it
turn
to
dotage
,
and
continue
,
there
is
little
hope
.
Contractions
,
convulsive
and
trembling
Motions
are
deadly
,
for
it
shews
that
the
Brain
is
mortally
wounded
,
and
that
Nature
is
overcome
by
the
Disease
.
Deafnesse
at
the
beginning
is
dangerous
:
but
in
the
state
of
the
Disease
,
it
is
not
so
,
for
many
times
health
follows
.
Sneezing
is
laudable
.
Heart-burnings
.
Hiccoughs
,
and
extream
Loathing
,
do
portend
danger
,
and
that
the
Stomach
is
over
mastered
by
the
Malignant
quality
of
the
Humours
.
Suppression
of
all
Evacuations
,
in
the
beginning
and
state
of
the
Disease
,
is
good
,
provided
that
the
Malignity
doth
not
settle
in
the
head
,
or
near
any
Principal
part
.
The
Urine
that
is
like
the
Urine
of
a
healthy
person
is
bad
;
the
same
judge
,
if
they
be
thin
,
thick
,
confused
or
troubled
.
Urines
which
have
a
laudable
sediment
,
and
well
concoct
are
good
,
and
shew
a
strong
naturall
Faculty
to
expell
the
Venome
.
An
Urine
,
black
or
blew
,
fat
and
oyly
,
with
a
black
or
blewish
setling
,
shews
a
wasting
of
the
Body
,
and
is
a
deadly
Sign
.
Sweats
seldom
portend
good
,
though
it
happens
on
a
criticall
day
,
unlesse
it
doth
much
diminish
the
Feaver
.
Sometimes
,
a
Loosenesse
of
the
Belly
,
at
the
beginning
,
is
good
,
and
sometimes
it
is
a
deadly
Sign
.
Spots
,
the
more
laudable
the
colour
is
,
the
better
,
if
they
be
black
,
or
Lead-colour
,
and
go
in
again
it
is
dangerous
.
Carbuncles
and
Buboes
,
the
farther
from
the
Heart
,
the
better
,
and
the
sooner
they
ripen
,
the
safer
.
The
Cure
ought
to
be
two-fold
,
first
,
to
preserve
those
from
it
who
have
it
not
;
secondly
,
in
healing
those
that
have
it
.
First
,
to
preserve
,
take
away
the
causes
both
internall
and
externall
.
If
the
Body
be
plethorick
,
let
Phlebotomy
abate
it
:
If
full
of
evill
Humours
let
them
be
purged
:
If
obstructed
,
let
means
be
used
to
open
Obstructions
.
If
the
Body
be
in
a
good
state
,
labour
to
keep
it
so
.
If
it
be
too
moist
,
babour
to
dry
it
,
and
avoid
all
moist
Nourishments
,
and
much
drinking
,
eat
no
Fish
,
Meats
made
of
Milk
,
nor
Herbs
;
walk
not
in
the
South
Air
,
or
neer
Lakes
,
nor
in
the
Night
,
fleep
not
too
much
.
If
the
Body
be
weak
use
a
restorative
Diet.
If
the
Air
be
too
hot
;
labour
to
cool
it
,
as
we
taught
you
,
in
continual
Feavers
,
if
it
be
too
moist
correct
it
by
fires
and
fumes
,
as
also
to
consume
and
dissipate
the
infection
of
the
Ayre
:
make
fires
and
fumes
of
sweet
Woods
,
and
other
sweet
sented
ingredients
,
as
Cypresse
,
Wood
of
Aloes
,
Juniper
;
Storax
,
Labdanum
,
Mirrhe

,
Frankinsence
,
Cinnamon
,
Cloves
,
Red-Rose-leaves
,
Calamint
,
Bayes
,
Rosemary
,
and
such
like
.
Let
the
common
sort
of
people
,
and
the
poorer
sort
,
carry
Rue
and
Angelica
to
smell
to
,
and
take
in
the
morning
fasting
,
and
when
they
go
abroad
,
Mithridate's
medicine
;
Mithridate
,
Venice-Treacle
,
and
such
like
.
Let
the
Rich
man
use
of
this
Pomander
.
Take
of
Labdanum
,
and
of
the
Rinds
of
Citrons
,
of
each
one
drachm
:
of
the
three
kinds
of
Sanders
,
of
each
half
a
drachme
;
Wood
of
Aloes
,
flowers
of
Buglosse
,
Nenuphar
,
Rose

,
of
each
two
Scruples
,

,
of
each
one
scruple
;
Zedoary
root
one
scruple
;
Benjamin
one
drachm
;

one
drachm
and
an

half
a
drachme
:
Musk
and
Ambergreece
of
each
sour
Grains
;
Powder
them
,
and
with
the
Musilage
of
Gum-dragant
made
in
Rose-water
,
make
a
Pomander
.
and
let
them
make
use
of
this
Preservative
:
Take
of
Bolearmenick
prepared
half
an
ounce
,
of
Cinnamon
three
drachms
,
of
white
Dittany
,
the
roots
of

,
and
Tormentill
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
the
root
of
Zedoary
,
Red
Roses
,
of
all
the
Sanders
,

,
of
each
one
drachme
,

,
of
each
one
scruple
;
powder
them
all
,
and
with
Syrrup
of
Vinegar
or
Lemons
,
make
an
Electuary
,
and
take
a
Scruple
or
two
in
the
Morning
.
For
the
cure
of
those
that
are
sick
,
let
the
same
course
of
Diet
be
observed
,
as
was
prescribed
in
continuall
Feavers
;
and
it
the
body
be
plethorick
,
open
a
Vein
;
How
much
bloud
to
take
away
,
and
how
often
to
bleed
,
let
prudence
be
your
director
.
If
you
judge
it
necessary
,
apply
Cupping-glasses
to
the
shoulders
,
back
,
and
hips
;
and
vesicatories
applyed
to
the
neck
and
Arm-pits
,
and
Groyns
,
are
seldome
without
admirable
successe
;
and
a
Cataplasme
of
Snails
,
or
Radishes
,
laid
to
the
feet
are
good
.
First
,
altering
Juleps
,
are
good
to
prepare
the
humours
,
made
of
such
things
as
are
prescribed
for
the
Cure
of
continual
Feavers
;
to
which
add
Antidotes
,
which
have
a
specifick
property
to
fight
against
the
venemous
quality
:
as
the
roots
of
Tormentill
,
Cinkfoil
,
Scorzonera
,
white
Thistle
;
the
leaves
of
Scordium
,
Carduus
,

Flowers
of
Marigolds
;
Lemons
and
Citrons
,
Odoriferous
Apples
,
Harts-horn
;
the
juice
or
Syrrup
of
Lemons
,
Pomegranats
,
Citrons
,
Vinegar
,
the
spirit
of
Sulphur
and
Vitriol
.
In
the
whole
course
of
the
cure
,
Antidotes
must
be
given
,
of
which
there
are
four
sorts
,
or
degrees
,
the
first
resist
the
venemous
quality
,
and
besides
are
cold
,
dry
,
and
astringent
,
by
which
they
strengthen
the
Heart
,
hinder
putrefaction
,
and
the
venom
,
from
spreading
over
the
body
:
of
this
sort
are
Bolearmenick
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
the
roots
of
Bistort
,
Cinkfoil
,
Tormentill
,
&c.
The
second
sort
,
by
their
coldnesse
and
tenuity
,
do
resist
putrefaction
,
and
restrain
the
venemous
quality
:
as
the
juice
of
Lemons
,
spirit
of
Sulphur
and
Vitrioll
,
and
all
other
acid
things
.
The
third
sort
are
such
as
are
hot
and
Diaphoretick
,
which
expel
the
venome
from
the
Center
to
the
Circumference
,
from
the
Heart
,
to
the
outward
parts
,
by
sweat
,
and
of
this
sort
are
Angelica
,
Zedoary
,
Dictamnus
,
Meddow-sweet
,
Scordium
,
Carduus
,
Scabious
,
Treacle
,
Mithridate
,
Treacle-water
.
The
last
sort
are
such
,
as
by
a
speciall
quality
,
without
excesse
,
do
oppose
the
venemous
quality
,
as
Bezoar-stone
,
Harts-horn
,
Unicorns-horn
,
Troches
of
Vipers
,
and
such
like
.
Of
these
,
and
Simples
of
the
like
nature
,
may
many
Medicines
be
composed
,
which
must
be
diversly
varied
and
mixed
,
according
to
the
different
degree
of
malignity
,
and
putrefaction
,
according
to
the
intension
and
remission
of
the
Feaver
,
according
to
the
divers
Temperaments
,
Sex
,
and
Age
of
the
Patient
,
the
determination
of
which
depends
not
upon
any
certain
rules
,
but
upon
the
Prudence
and
head-piece
of
an
able
Physitian
.
In
the
Malignant
and
spotted
Feaver
,
if
putrefaction
be
greater
then
the
vonemous
quality
;
the
medicines
of
the
first
,
second
,
or
fourth
order
,
do
best
agree
in
the
beginning
and
Augment
of
the
Feaver
:
and
those
of
the
third
,
viz.
Diaphoreticks
and
sweating
medicines
in
the
declination
;
but
if
it
be
the
Plague
,
and
the
venemous
quality
exceed
the
putrefaction
;
let
Diaphoreticks
be
used
first
:
as
for
the
forms
of
particular
medicines
,
let
the
Physitian
vary
them
according
to
the
different
degree
of
heat
,
putrefaction
,
and
malignity
.
Let
the
Physitian
take
care
to
strengthen
the
Heart
,
also
,
by
outward
applications
of
Cordiall
Epithems
;
and
let
the
Carbuncles
and
Borches
be
suppurated
,
broken
,
and
healed
,
by
the
expert
Chirurgious
Art
.
CHAP.
XCI
.
Of
the
Small
Pox
and
Measels
.
THe
Feaver
which
attends
the
Small
Pox
and
Measels
,
may
be
justly
termed
Pestilential
,
for
it
is
epidemicall
,
contagious
and
many
times
mortall
:
I
need
not
write
any
thing
of
the
difference
between
these
two
,
viz.
Pox
,
and
Measols
,
for
every
Woman
knows
it
.
There
is
another
sort
of
Pustules
come
out
upon
children
like
bladders
,
without
inflammation
or
rednesse
,
and
without
a
Feaver
:
some
Physitians
call
it
the
Crystalls
,
we
call
it
the
Blisters
.
The
cause
of
the
small
Pox
and
Measells
,
was
in
the
Mothers
Bloud
,
with
which
the
child
was
nourished
in
the
Womb
,
and
is
hence
chiefly
gathered
,
because
among
thousands
of
men
,
it
is
hard
to
find
one
,
who
once
in
his
life
hath
not
had
these
diseases
.
For
in
the
blood
be
it
never
so
pure
,
some
impurities
are
found
,
which
doth
communicate
pollution
to
the
parts
of
the
child
,
and
defile
the
Masse
of
bloud
;
and
being
provoked
by
some
occasion
,
(
viz.
a
certain
disposition
of
Ayre
,
proportionable
to
the
disease
)
the
bloud
boils
and
purifieth
it self
and
the
parts
,
and
the
impurity
is
cast
forth
.
Understand
that
these
impurities
do
not
substantially
remain
in
the
body
,
for
then
they
would
corrupt
in
a
little
time
,
but
an
evill
quality
is
by
them
imprinted
upon
the
parts
.
When
this
ebullition
beginneth
,
the
excrement
is
twofold
,
either
thin
or
thick
;
if
thin
,
the
Measels
follow
;
if
thick
,
the
small
Pox.
And
another
reason
is
this
,
Sometimes
the
Air
is
inclinable
to
the
one
,
and
sometimes
to
the
other
.
Again
,
the
Pox
is
either
Perfective
or
corruptive
;
the
Perfective
is
when
the
corrupt
,
impure
,
and
excrementitious
part
of
the
bloud
,
is
cast
forth
by
nature
,
the
rest
remaining
pure
,
and
the
Patient
is
restored
without
Physick
:
the
corruptive
Pox
,
is
not
onely
the
corrupt
bloud
purged
forth
,
but
the
most
pure
bloud
corrupted
,
which
is
occasioned
by
a
malignant
constitution
of
the
Ayre
,
and
so
produceth
a
dangerous
and
Epidemicall
Pox
,
which
is
sometimes
a
forerunner
of
the
Plague
.
In
respect
of
the
naturall
constitution
of
the
body
they
come
forth
more
or
lesse
,
sooner
or
later
,
and
sometimes
they
seize
upon
the
internal
as
well
as
external
parts
,
as
the
throat
,
Lungs
,
Guts
,
Liver
,
Spleen
,
&c.
Signes
which
declare
the
Pox
at
hand
,
are
pain
in
the
head
,
and
beating
about
the
Temples
,
troubled
and
terrified
in
sleep
,
sometimes
ravings
and
Convulsions
,
hoarsnesse
,
cough
,
and
difficulty
of
breathing
;
heat
and
pricking
all
over
the
body
,
pain
of
the
back
,
shining
before
the
eyes
,
the
face
red
and
swelled
.
If
they
come
out
soon
,
and
easily
ripen
,
there
is
no
danger
,
the
same
judge
if
the
symptomes
are
not
great
,
and
the
voice
and
breathing
is
free
.
If
they
come
out
red
,
afterwards
white
,
round
,
pointed
,
and
outwardly
in
the
skin
,
there
is
no
danger
.
The
contrary
to
these
are
signs
of
a
deadly
and
dangerous
Pox
,
viz.
a
great
Feaver
,
which
is
not
abated
at
their
comming
out
,
difficulty
of
breathing
,
great
thirst
,
a
loosnesse
or
bloody
flux
,
because
the
malignant
humours
have
their
recourse
inward
;
which
is
contrary
to
nature
a
bloudy
Urine
,
or
stool
,
bleeding
at
the
Nose
,
Gums
,
or
other
parts
,
are
commonly
deadly
signs
,
for
they
signify
the
extream
acrimony
and
malignancy
of
the
Bloud
,
that
nature
is
forced
to
void
it
in
such
a
preposterous
way
.
Pox
long
comming
out
,
shews
the
contumacy
of
the
Humour
,
or
Weaknesse
of
Nature
,
if
they
be
many
,
great
,
double
,
and
united
,
they
shew
abundance
of
Humours
:
hard
ones
shew
the
Thickness
of
the
Matter
:
flat
ones
shew
the
Weakness
of
the
expulsive
Faculty
:
if
there
be
a
black
Spot
in
the
middle
it
shews
the
malignity
of
the
Humours
;
the
like
judge
,
if
they
be
green
,
blewish
,
or
black
,
and
they
are
all
bad
Signes
;
but
it
is
worse
if
they
sink
,
go
in
,
and
the
Tumor
falleth
,
for
it
signifieth
the
Retirement
of
the
Humours
inward
,
and
few
in
this
condition
escape
.
If
black
or
blew
Spots
come
forth
among
the
Pox
,
it
shews
great
Malignity
;
and
the
Patient
in
great
danger
.
If
the
Excrements
and
Urine
be
black
or
livid
,
they
signify
abundance
of
Melancholy
,
and
great
danger
.
For
the
Cure
,
keep
the
Patient
in
a
warm
room
,
and
if
you
tender
his
life
,
keep
out
the
cold
Air
,
lest
the
Humours
be
driven
inward
.
Keep
the
Cloaths
close
about
him
,
but
let
them
not
ly
too
heavy
.
Let
his
drink
be
Barly-Water
,
and
boil
therein
Sorrell
Roots
and
Harts-horn
,
and
Figs
,
if
the
Feaver
be
not
violent
:
let
his
Sleep
be
moderate
.
Physitians
,
for
the
most
part
,
advise
the
Cure
to
begin
with
blood-letting
,
that
is
,
if
the
Patient
be
full
of
Blood
,
and
nothing
forbid
it
;
but
it
must
be
done
before
,
or
just
as
they
be
coming
forth
.
Purges
are
absolutely
forbidden
;
but
if
the
body
be
very
costive
,
move
it
with
a
Suppository
,
but
do
not
provoke
it
.
Then
endeavour
the
expulsion
of
the
Matter
,
thus
;
Take
of
the
Roots
of
grass
,
Asparagus
,
and
Fennell
,
of
each
,
four
Ounces
:
Liquorish
,
half
an
Ounce
:
Wood
Sorrell
,
two
Handfulls
:
twenty
Figs
:
the
cordiall
Flowers
,
one
Pugill
:
make
a
Decoction
to
a
Pint
,
towards
the
latter
end
,
put
in
a
little
Saffron
;
take
four
Ounces
Night
and
Morning
.
Bezar
and
Gascoins
powder
is
good
to
send
out
the
Pox
,
and
for
Children
Diascordium
is
a
familiar
Medicine
.
We
must
endeavour
to
preserve
the
internall
parts
;
if
you
fear
that
the
Liver
,
Spleen
,
or
Guts
,
should
suffer
,
to
the
former
Decoction
,
add
husked
Lentils
,
two
drams
,
Gum
Lac
,
and
Traganth
,
of
each
,
one
Drachm
.
You
must
defend
the
Eyes
with
the
Water
of
Roses
and
Plantane
,
and
infuse
Camphir
,
Saffron
,
and
if
the
Inflammation
be
great
,
infuse
Tutty
.
You
must
defend
the
Lungs
with
the
Conserve
of
Roses
and
Violets
,
the
Sirrup
of
Violets
,
Jujubees
,
Myrtles
,
dried
Roses
,
Poppyes
,
and
such
like
.
You
must
defend
the
Throat
with
a
Gargle
of
Oxycrate
;
or
you
may
make
it
with
Plantane
Water
and
Sirrup
of
Mulberryes
or
Pomegranates
.
To
defend
the
Nose
,
put
up
a
Nodulus
,
made
of
Vinegar
,
Rose-Water
,
and
the
Powder
of
Sanders
and
Camphir
.
When
the
Pox
are
out
,
full
ripe
,
and
begin
to
break
,
anoint
them
often
with
the
Oyl
of
Almonds
,
it
will
be
a
means
to
prevent
their
pitting
;
and
where
there
are
likely
to
be
holes
anoint
with
the
Oyl
of
the
yolks
of
Egs.

CHAP.
I.
Of
a
Green
Wound
.
A
Wound
is
a
breach
of
Continuity
,
fresh
and
bloody
without
Putrefaction
or
Matter
:
It
is
caused
by
a
Sword
,
Bullet
,
Arrow
,
or
such
like
,
which
the
Chirurgion
may
easily
perceive
.
Wounds
in
the
flesh
are
easily
cured
;
in
the
Nervs
,
Veins
,
and
Arteryes
,
they
are
not
without
danger
:
In
the
instrumentall
&
principall
parts
,
as
the
Heart
,
Liver
,
Lungs
,
Brain
,
Spleen
,
Midriff
,
Wezand
,
Stomach
,
Guts
,
or
Bladder
,
are
deadly
.
A
Feaver
,
Perturbation
,
Swooning
,
Convulsion
,
and
such
like
Symptomes
are
dangerous
.
The
Cure
must
be
directed
,
first
to
the
cause
;
secondly
,
to
the
Wound
itself
;
thirdly
,
to
the
part
affected
;
lastly
,
to
the
Symptomes
attending
.
The
Cause
or
outward
things
,
viz.
a
Bullet
,
Arrow
,
or
such
like
,
sticking
in
the
Body
must
be
drawn
out
,
by
Instruments
or
by
Medicine
:
what
concerns
the
first
I
shall
not
meddle
with
,
the
medicinall
part
I
shall
breifly
handle
.
The
Simples
availeable
and
of
force
for
the
purpose
aforesaid
are
,
The
Roots
of
Reeds
and
Birthwort
;
the
Leavs
of
Dittany
,
Crow-foot
,
Missletoe
,
Thapsia
;
Sagapenum
,
Ammoniacum
,
Opopanax
,
Quick
Lime
,
burnt
Frogs
,
Galbanum
,
Bears
grease
,
the
Load-stone
,
Mustard-Seed
,
and
such
like
.
Of
these
and
such
like
you
may
prepare
compound
Medicines
:
This
Unguent
of
Vesalus
is
much
approved
of
:
Take
of
Rozin
of
the
Pine
tree
,
two
Ounces
:
Galbanum
,
three
Ounces
:
of
the
Stone
called
Calamites
,
one
Ounce
:
the
Gall
of
an
Ox
,
one
Ounce
and
an
half
:
of
Turpetine
,
three
Ounces
;
New
Wax
,
two
Ounces
:
first
,
strain
out
the
Wax
,
Rozin
,
and
Turpetine
;
after
,
mix
the
Golbanum
,
Gall
,
and
the
Powder
of
the
Stone
,
and
make
an
Unguent
.
This
Plaister
is
likewise
good
for
the
same
purpose
:
Take
of
Leaven
,
one
pound
:
Oyl
,
half
a
pound
:
the
juyce
of
Knot-grasse
,
and
Dittany
,
(
or
,
for
want
of
it
,
the
Powder
of
the
dried
Herbs
,
)
of
each
,
three
Ounces
:
Turpetine
,
one
pound
:
The
Bird
Lime
made
of
Missletoe
Berryes
,
Ammoniacum
,
&
Galbanum
and
dissolved
in
wine
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
;
of
Wax
,
four
Ounces
:
mix
them
upon
the
Fire
,
and
make
a
Plaister
.
Having
thus
far
proceded
,
and
removed
all
things
unnaturall
from
the
Wound
,
then
must
the
Chirurgion
,
if
the
Solution
be
great
,
artificially
join
the
gaping
sides
of
the
Wound
by
Seam
,
Taches
,
or
stiching
cloths
and
such
like
,
which
I
omit
,
and
shall
lay
down
a
few
Rules
to
prevent
pain
,
Inflammation
,
or
other
untoward
Accidents
,
which
may
happen
to
the
wounded
part
,
or
whole
Body
.
Inflammation
is
restrained
by
taking
away
the
Cause
of
the
Fluxion
:
Now
the
Humours
,
flowing
to
the
part
,
are
either
drawn
or
sent
.
They
are
drawn
by
reason
of
the
Pain
and
Heat
of
the
Member
,
which
doth
attract
the
Humours
to
it self
.
They
are
sent
,
thus
;
when
the
whole
Body
is
full
of
evill
Humours
,
and
every
part
disburtheneth
it self
upon
the
weaker
.
The
Inflammation
of
the
Part
must
be
allayed
with
such
Medicines
that
quench
Heat
;
and
the
Body
must
be
purged
,
and
such
a
Course
of
Diet
used
as
may
somewhat
free
the
Body
from
such
Humours
,
which
are
offensive
and
burthensome
to
Nature
.
But
before
I
come
to
treat
of
the
removeall
of
such
Accidents
and
evill
Symptoms
;
I
shall
briefly
shew
you
the
manner
of
Cure
,
which
ought
thus
to
be
performed
.
After
closing
of
the
Wound
,
dresse
it
with
some
agglutinative
Medicine
,
made
of
such
Simples
:
viz.
Frankincense
,
Mastich
,
Aloes
,
Rolearmenick
,
Sanguis
Draconis
,
Sarcocolla
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
Balaustines
,
Pomegranate
Rinds
,
Cypresse
Nuts
,
Galls
,
Horse-tail
,
Tobacco
,
and
such
like
.
You
may
make
a
Balm
thus
:
Take
of
Turpetine
,
a
pound
:
of
Galbanum
,
Gum
Elemy
,
Gum
of
Ivy
,
Frankincense
,
Mastich
,
Myrrh
,
of
each
,
two
Ounces
:
Aloes
,
Lignum
Aloes
,
Galanga
,
Nutmegs
,
Cloves
,
Cinnamon
,
Cubebs
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Aqua
Vitae
,
three
Ounces
;
infuse
and
distill
them
to
a
Balm
.
After
the
Application
of
this
or
the
like
Balsome
,
lay
on
this
Plaister
:
Take
of
Ammoniacum
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
two
Ounces
:
Gum
Elemy
,
three
Ounces
:
Rozin
of
the
Pine
tree
,
five
Ounces
:
Turpentine
of
the
Fir-tree
,
three
ounces
:
Oyl
of
Roses
,
two
Ounces
:
make
a
Plaister
.
Open
it
once
in
twenty
four
hours
till
it
be
whole
:
thus
may
you
cure
a
simple
Wound
in
the
Flesh
.
If
the
Wound
be
hollow
,
you
must
put
in
Tents
,
twist
them
not
too
hard
,
but
so
that
the
Sanies
may
come
forth
.
If
the
Wound
be
deep
without
losse
of
Substance
,
you
must
consider
whether
the
Orifice
of
the
Wound
look
upward
or
downward
.
If
the
Orifice
look
downward
,
and
the
bottom
be
upward
,
then
may
the
Matter
run
freely
out
of
the
Wound
,
and
the
Cure
thereof
is
performed
as
a
simple
Wound
in
the
Flesh
.
But
if
the
Orifice
of
the
Wound
be
upward
,
and
the
bottom
tending
to
the
lower
parts
,
that
there
is
a
place
for
the
Matter
to
rest
in
,
then
if
you
find
it
needfull
(
as
many
times
it
is
)
make
an
Incision
,
from
the
top
to
the
bottom
,
or
onely
in
the
bottom
;
let
reason
guide
you
whereto
make
your
Incision
or
when
to
neglect
it
.
Wash
the
Wound
with
Wine
,
wherein
Mirrh
and
Salt
hath
been
boiled
:
then
put
in
this
Oyl
,
which
is
much
commended
,
and
it
is
made
thus
:
Take
of
Oyl
of
Olives
,
three
pound
:
of
white
Wine
,
two
pound
:
of
the
Flowers
,
Leavs
,
and
Seeds
,
of
St.
John's
Wort
,
one
pound
:
of
greek
Valerian
,
the
spotted
and
common
Sanicle
,
Saracens
consound
,
amd
Self-heal
,
of
each
,
half
a
Handfull
;
beat
the
Herbs
in
a
Morter
,
and
infuse
them
in
the
Wine
and
Oyl
twenty
four
hours
,
then
boil
it
gently
to
the
Consumption
of
almost
half
:
then
strain
it
,
and
add
thereto
,
of
Venice
Turpetine
,
one
pound
and
an
half
:
Oyl
of
Turpetine
,
six
Ounces
:
Olibonum
,
five
Ounces
:
Mirrh
three
Ounces
:
Mastich
,
and
Sanguis
Draconis
,
of
each
,
one
Ounce
:
Roots
of
Alchenet
,
(
first
bruised
and
infused
in
Oyl
two
or
three
hours
,
)
boil
them
gently
and
sufficiently
,
and
reserve
it
for
the
use
aforesaid
.
Then
lay
on
Emplastrum
Sticticum
,
the
receipt
of
which
you
may
read
in
the
London
Dispensatory
:
or
you
may
buy
the
Plaister
at
the
Apothecaryes
.
If
the
Wound
be
hollow
with
losse
of
Substance
,
you
must
make
use
of
such
Medicines
which
are
by
Nature
drying
and
cleansing
,
called
Incarnatives
.
This
Unguent
is
much
commended
for
cleansing
Putrefaction
,
&
breeding
of
good
Flesh
in
Wounds
.
Take
of
common
Oyl
,
and
Rams
suet
of
each
one
pound
:
Stone-pitch
,
half
a
pound
,
Grecian-pitch
,
three
Ounces
;
wax
two
Ounces
,
Mastich
,
Olibanum
,
Galbanum
,
Ammoniacum
,
Sagapenum
,
Opopanax
,
and
Turpentine
of
each
half
an
Ounce
:
powder
those
that
are
to
be
powdered
,
and
melt
the
rest
in
Oyl
,
stirr
them
well
together
on
the
fire
;
when
they
are
sufficiently
boiled
,
add
the
Turpentine
,
strain
it
,
and
use
it
upon
occasion
.
This
plaister
is
very
good
to
incarnate
both
wounds
and
Ulcers
;
Take
of
Virgins
wax
eight
Ounces
,
Deers
suet
four
ounces
and
an
half
;
Common
Rozin
,
and
Rozin
of
the

of
each
four
Ounces
;
Honey
six
ounces
;
Turpentine
eight
Ounces
,
White
Wine
one
pound
and
an
half
,
Dragons
bloud
one
pound
;
boil
them
(
the
Sanguis
Draconis
excepted
)
to
the
form
of
a
plaister
.
Or
you
may
make
a
lesse
quantity
by
decreasing
each
particular
analogically
.
Take
this
generall
Rule
,
that
according
to
the
Dryth
or
moisture
of
the
body
or
wound
,
you
must
make
your
medicines
lesse
or
more
drying
,
when
the
wound
commeth
to
be
plain
,
equall
and
filled
,
it
must
be
Cicatrized
,
or
covered
with
skin
;
which
must
be
performed
by
medicines
which
are
astringent
,
and
very
much
drying
,
because
it
must
consume
not
onely
the
superfluous
,
but
also
the
naturall
moisture
,
of
which
properly
are
the
simples
following
:
Galls
,
Balaustines
,
the
rinds
of
Pomegranats
,
the
white
Thistle
,
Sumach
,
Bolearmenick
,
Sealed
Earth
,
Ceruse
,
Lead
burnt
or
washed
,
Litharge
,
and
the
Bark
of
the
Pinetree
.
To
which
add
the
following
,
which
perform
it
accidentally
,
as
Brasse
burnt
and
washed
,
the
scales
of
Brasse
;
Alume
and
Vitrioll
,
burnt
and
washed
:
Plantane
,
Aristolochia
,
and
such
like
.
Of
these
and
such
like
,
may
many
forms
of
Medicines
,
viz.
Waters
,
Oyls
,
Unguents
,
or
Plaisters
,
be
made
.
Take
this
Plaister
as
an
example
for
all
.
Take
of
Litharge
,
and
Ceruse
of
each
six
Ounces
,
burnt
lead
,
Lapis
Calaminaris
,
and
Terra
Sigillata
,
of
each
three
Ounces
:
Colophonia
,
Ship-Pitch
,
and
Rozin
,
of
each
two
Ounces
,
Sarcocolla
,
Laudanum
,
and
Ireos
,
of
each
one
Ounce
and
an
half
,
Camphir
,
half
an
Ounce
,
Leake
seed
two
Ounces
;
Oyl
of
Roses
,
one
pound
and
an
half
,
white
Wax
four
Ounces
;
make
it
into
a
plaister
.
If
the
Cicatrice
be
uncomely
or
deformed
,
it
must
be
amended
:
if
it
be
too
tender
,
it
must
be
thickned
,
and
hardned
with
Diachilon
,
or
with
Calamint
,
the
roots
of
Briony
and
such
like
sodden
in
Oyl
.
If
the
Cicatrice
be
thick
and
hard
,
it
ought
to
be
attenuated
with
the
root
of
wild
Cucumer
,
stampt
and
applyed
,
or
the
Oyl
of
Balsome-Apple
.
If
it
be
deformed
in
respect
of
colour
,
you
must
labour
to
bring
it
to
whitenesse
,
for
which
this
plaister
is
commended
;
Take
of
Swines
Grease
three
Ounces
,
Litharge
one
Ounce
,
Verdigreese
and
burnt
Vitrioll
,
of
each
two
drachms
;
make
it
into
a
plaister
.
Sometimes
a
wound
is
overgrown
with
flesh
:
this
flesh
growing
too
proudly
,
must
be
dealt
withall
with
medicines
that
may
diminish
,
and
take
away
the
same
,
and
they
must
be
by
nature
sharp
and
drying
;
as
Calcitis
,
Vitriol
,
burnt
Allum
,
the
roots
of
Asphodels
,
Hermodactylls
,
the
stones
of
Dates
burnt
,
the
seed
of
Nettles
,
Serpentary
,
the
Scales
of
Brasse
,
burnt
Brass
,
the
ashes
of
a
Hedghog
,
Mercury
sublimnte
;
Of
Medicines
compounded
,
Unguentum
Apostolorum
,
or
Unguentum
Aegyptiacum
are
of
known
validity
.
If
these
suffice
not
,
the
Chyrurgion
must
use
his
Incision-knife
,
hot
Scissars
,
or
a
Cautery
.
CHAP.
II.
Of
a
contused
wound
,
and
a
Bruise
.
THat
the
wound
is
contused
appeareth
by
the
swelling
,
pain
,
black
or
blew
colour
;
whether
it
were
given
by
a
fall
,
or
blow
,
the
patient
can
satisfy
you
.
The
Cure
consisteth
,
first
in
mundisying
,
filling
the
hollownesse
,
with
incarnative
Medicines
,
and
when
it
is
made
plain
and
even
,
cover
it
with
Cicatrizing
Medicines
.
And
secondly
,
in
removing
the
accident
,
which
for
the
most
part
accompanieth
a
wound
of
this
nature
.
First
,
to
mundify
the
wound
,
wash
it
in
white
Wine
,
wherein
hath
bin
boiled
Myrrhe
and
Salt
,
then
arm
your
Tents
with
Unguentum
Apostolorum
,
or
such
like
,
and
lay
on
dry
stapes
and
bind
it
up
;
this
do
till
the
wound
be
clean
;
then
fill
it
up
with
incarnative
Medicines
,
afterwatds
Cicatrize
it
;
the
Medicines
for
that
purpose
in
the
foregoing
Chapter
will
serve
here
.
Secondly
,
labour
to
remove
the
accidents
incident
to
these
wounds
,
which
are
either
pain
or
swelling
.
Pairl
must
be
mitigated
with
Oyl
of
Dill
,
Chamomil
,
or
Lillies
.
Or
a
Liniment
made
of
the
Oil
of
Roses
,
and
the
yolk
of
an
Egg
,
and
applyed
with
Lint
.
The
swelling
or
Tumor
is
to
be
removed
by
taking
away
the
Antecedent
or
conjoyned
cause
:
the
Antecedent
cause
is
the
humour
flowing
to
the
wounded
part
,
the
conjoyned
cause
is
the
humour
already
contained
in
the
part
.
For
taking
away
the
antecedent
cause
,
you
must
consider
,
whether
it
be
bloud
or
other
humours
.
If
it
be
bloud
,
whether
it
comes
from
the
whole
body
,
or
some
particular
part
,
it
must
be
evacuated
by
bloud-letting
,
and
a
thin
cooling
Diet.
You
must
evacuate
and
disparch
it
from
the
wounded
member
,
either
by
revulsion
,
or
repercussion
:
Revulsion
must
be
made
either
by
Phleboromy
,
Cupping
,
Rubbing
,
and
binding
the
contrary
side
,
to
withdraw
the
humour
to
the
contrary
part
.
Repercussion
is
to
send
the
matter
from
the
part
:
of
this
sort
are
the
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
Myrtles
;
or
an
Unguent
made
of
Oyl
of
Myrtles
,
Bolearmenick
,
and
the
White
of
an
Egg
,
with
which
the
parts
about
the
Wound
are
to
be
anointed
:
Afterwards
lay
on
a
Plaister
made
of
the
Powder
of
Myrtles
,
and
the
White
of
an
Egg.
If
it
be
other
Humours
,
which
flow
to
the
Wound
,
let
them
be
purged
with
such
Medicines
as
are
proper
to
the
Humour
:
The
fore-going
Book
is
full
of
Examples
;
and
the
last
Book
is
well
furnished
.
The
Humor
which
is
now
impact
in
the
Wound
,
must
be
brought
to
Suppuration
:
This
Plaister
is
good
;
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Marshmallows
,
and
wild
Cucumers
,
of
each
half
an
Ounce
:
Origan
and
Hysop
,
of
each
half
a
handful
:
the
Flowers
of
Camomel
,
and
the
Seed
of
Flax
,
of
each
one
pugil
:
six
sat
Figs
;
boit
them
well
,
then
strain
the
liquor
from
them
,
and
beat
them
in
a
Morter
;
add
to
them
Mirrh
,
Galbanum
,
Styrax
Liquida
,
and
Sheeps
Grease
(
separated
from
the
woot
which
grows
in
the
Flank
,
and
between
their
shoulders
,
)
of
each
one
drachm
and
an
half
;
make
a
plaister
.
If
by
a
fall
,
stroke
,
or
blow
,
clotted
bloud
is
gathered
under
the
skin
,
the
part
is
swelled
,
soft
and
easily
pressed
,
blackish
,
and
many
times
without
pain
.
A
bruise
by
a
violent
contusion
is
not
without
danger
;
for
sometimes
,
not
onely
the
part
it self
corrupteth
,
but
many
times
the
whole
body
.
It
the
skin
hang
by
,
separated
from
the
flโsh
,
cut
it
away
,
for
it
is
seldom
;
or
never
joyned
again
.
For
the
Cure
,
in
respect
of
the
wounded
Part
,
observe
the
same
rule
in
taking
away
pans
and
swelling
,
either
by
evacuation
,
or
repercussion
.
In
respect
of
the
whole
body
,
you
must
consider
whether
there
be
clotted
bloud
in
the
body
;
which
if
there
be
,
it
must
be
dissolved
and
scattered
by
Medicines
,
which
dissolve
bloud
,
and
fireng
then
the
inner
parts
;
and
secondly
,
it
must
be
scattered
by
Diaphoretick
,
or
Sweating
Medicines
.
This
Powder
is
good
to
dissolve
bloud
;
Take
of
Rubarb
terrified
,
sealed
Earth
,
Bolearmenick
,
Mummy
,
and
the
seed
of
Cresses
torrified
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
make
them
into
fine
powder
,
and
give
a
drachm
in
Plantane
water
,
or
the
water
of
Shepheards
pouch
.
To
provoke
Sweat
,
boil
a
handful
or
two
of
Osmond
Royal
,
and
Horstaile
,
in
Wine
,
sweeten
the
Decection
with
Honey
,
give
five
or
six
Ounces
thereof
,
and
let
the
Patient
sweat
thereupon
.
If
the
bloud
be
clotted
under
the
skin
,
apply
a
Rams
skin
newly
pulled
off
hot
to
the
body
,
and
let
the
Patient
sweat
in
it
.
Then
anoint
it
with
this
Unguent
,
&c.
Take
of
Bolearmenick
,
Frankincense
,
Rezin
,
Fenugreck
,
and
Gum
Traganth
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
Saffron
one
drachm
,
the
powder
of
Roses
,
Mirtles
,

three
drachms
;
the
Ointment
of
Maish
mallows
,
the
Oyl
of
Roses
,
Camomel
,
Mirtles
,
and
Dill
,
of
each
two
Ounces
:
New
Wax
and
Turpentine
,
of
each
one
Ounce
,
make
an

,
and
use

Omtment
a

astringent
,
and

matter
will
not
be
discussed
,
but
is
prone
to
Suppuration
,
help
it

by
such
Medicines
as
are
proper
for
the
purpose
:
then
procure
Issue
,
and
mundifie
the
Ulcer
,
and
heal
it
up
.

CHAP.
III.
Of
a
Wound
by
biting
,
or
stinging
of
any
Creature
venemous
,
or
not
.
WHat
Creature
inflicted
the
Wound
,
most
people
know
,
or
whether
he
be
venemous
or
not
:
Venemous
are
,
a
Mad-Dog
,
Serpent
,
Scorping
,
Basilisk
,
Dragon
,
Viper
,
Adder
,
Slow-Worm
,
Asp
,
Spider
,
Toad
,
&c.
Not
venemous
,
are
a
Dog
,
Ape
,
Horse
,
Sow
,
Cat
,
Wasp
,
Bee
,
and
the
like
.
If
the
Creature
were
venemous
,
the
Symptomes
are
more
violent
,
viz.
vehement
pricking
,
and
biting
pains
,
change
of
colour
,
and
grievous
anguishes
,
and
sometimes
the
body
is
astonished
,
sometimes
in
a
great
heat
,
and
the
like
.
A
venemous
biting
is
very
danperous
,
if
it
be
not
soon
cured
;
because
Poyson
ayms
at
the
destruction
of
the
Heart
.
Some
say
if
the
Patient
be
thirsty
,
and
yet
is
fearful
of
Drink
,
he
is
incurable
:
This
I
once
saw
verified
in
a
Boy
that
was
bit
by
a
Mad.

If
the
Patient
be
bit
by
a
venemous
Creature
,
the
Cure
may
be
begun
with
cupping
the
wounded
part
,
with
scarrifieation
,
to
draw
forth
the
Venome
:
sucking
of
the
Wound
is
commended
,
instead
thereof
,
apply
the
tail
of
an
Hen:
if
the
part
be
not
full
of
sinews
,
apply
a
Cautery
;
and
if
the
venome
be
very
malignable
,
cutting
is
commended
.
External
Medicines
must
be
attractive
to
draw
the
Venome
back
:
Of
this
sort
are
the
Simples
following
,
Garlick
,
Onyons
,
Mustard-seed
,
Harts-ease
,
Scabius
,
Peneroyal
,
Calamint
,
Gentian
,
Polymountain
,
Germander
,
Scordium
,
Ditany
,
Briony
,
Asphodels
,
Aristolochia
,
Euphorbium
,
Galbanum
,
Treacle
,
Leaven
,
Goats
Dung
,
&c.
Of
these
,
you
may
make
variety
of
compound
medicines
.
On
a
suddain
mix
Leaven
and
Goats
Dung
together
;
or
for
want
of
it
,
Leaven
alone
,
beat
with
it
Garlick
,
Onyons
,
and
Treacle
,
or
any
of
the
aforenamed
Simples
,
which
you
have
in
readiness
,
and
make
a
Plaister
.
This
Plaister
is
good
:
Take
of
the
Powder
of
Long
Birthwort
two
ounces
,
Asphodels
and
Briony
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
Assa
Foetida
;
Galbanum
and
Mirrh
,
of
each
half
an
Ounce
,
with
Oyl
of
Bays
and
Wax
;
make
a
Plaister
.
This
following
Unguent
is
commended
by
Vesalius
,
Take
of
Galbanum
,
and
Opoponax
,
of
each
one
drachm
,
Ammoniacum
,
Turpentine
,
and
Wax
,
of
each
one
drachm
and
an
half
;
Sagapenum
two
drachms
,
Pitch
two
drachms
and
an
half
:
put
them
over
a
gentle
fire
,
and
when
they
boyl
a
little
,
put
in
a
small
quantity
of
Bean-flower
,
Leth
argie
,
Saffron
,
and
Bdellium
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
Mirrh
,
and
Olibanum
,
of
each
half
a
drachm
;
Mastich
,
four
scruples
,
Fenugreek
one
scruple
,
boil
them
as
much
as
you
find
convenient
;
then
with
the
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
Seasamini
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
make
an
Unguent
.
Then
you
must
labour
to
preserve
the
Heart
from
the
venome
,
by
inward
Med
cines
.
Julius
Palmarius
doth
much
commend
that
Powder
,
against
the
biting
of
a
Mad
Dog
,
or
other
venemous
Creature
;
which
Powder
is
called
by
the
Colledge
of
Physitians
,
in
their
Dispensatory
,
Pulvis
Antilissus
.
Paracelsus
adviseth
to
give
the
Patient
red
astringent
Wine
,
wherein
Steel
hath
been
quenched
,
and
a
little
Treacle
with
it
.
Or
let
the
Patient
take
now
and
then
a
little
of
this
mixture
with
the
Wine
:
Mithridate
two
Ounces
,
Venice
Treatle
one
ounce
,
the
powder
of
red
Corals
one
ounce
and
an
half
,
mix
them
.
Also
,
Philonium
Perficum
,
doth
wonderfully
defend
the
Head
and
Vital
Parts
.
If
the
Patient
grow
very
thirsty
,
it
is
a
sign
that
the
Venome
reacheth
to
the
Heart
:
then
give
warm
milk
,
and
the
powder
of
Red
Coral
;
and
apply
to
the
Region
of
the
Heart
an
Epithem
made
of
Rose-Vinegar
,
Camphire
,
and
Sanders
,
sealedearth
made
into
a
Plaister
,
with
some
convenient
moisture
,
and
applyed
,
is
much
commended
against
the
poison
of
the
Spider
and
Toad
.
Lastly
,
you
must
labour
to
bring
the
Wound
to
suppuration
,
asterwards
mundifie
,
incarnate
,
and
cicatrize
it
.
If
the
Creature
which
inflicted
the
Wound
were
not
venemous
,
the
pain
is
less
,
and
the
danger
not
so
great
,
and
the
Cure
easily
performed
by
ordinary
Medicines
.

IV.
Of
a
Wound
in
the
Nerves
,
Tendons
,
Ligaments
,
Veins
,
and
Arteries
.
WHether
Nerve
,
Tendon
,
&c.
are
wounded
,
may
be
easily
conjectured
;
and
how
,
and
with
what
weapon
it
was
done
,
the
Patient
will
be
able
tโ
inform
.
If
a
Sinew
be
burnt
,
there
is
great
pain
,
hurt
both
of
sense
and
motion
,
sometimes
a
Feaver
,
Inflammation
,
Convulsion
,
or
raving
;
a
breach
or
wound
of
a
Vein
,
or
Artery
,
is
known
by
profusion
of
bloud
.
But
whether
the
Vein
or
Arterie
be
wounded
,
their
proper
figns
must
distinguish
,
viz.
the
bloud
black
and
thick
,
with
an
equal
fluxion
,
sheweth
a
wounded
Vein
:
but
if
the
bloud
be
thin
and
yellow
,
and
cometh
forth
leaping
,
like
the
motion
of
the
Pulse
,
then
is
the
Artery
wounden
.
The
Nervous
Ligaments
will
endure
Medicines
of
great
force
:
If
in
Wounds
of
this
nature
a
Tumor
appear
,
and
afterwards
vanish
away
it
threatneth
danger
of
Convulsion
and
Raving
.
If
a
Nerve
be
wounded
overthewart
,
and
not
cut
alunder
,
it
brings
the
move
peril
of
Convulsion
.
An
Artery
cut
overthwart
is
sooner
joyned
together
,
then
if
it
were
severed
longwise
.
An
Artery
cut
is
harder
to
cure
then
a
Vein
.
Flux
of
bloud
is
peril
lous
,
especially
of
an
Artery
;
for
unless
it
be
stopped
,
it
bringeth
death
unavoidably
.
Swooning
,
Convulsion
,
Raving
,
&c.
in
this
case
,
is
an
evil
token
.
For
the
Cure
,
if
the
Nerve
be
priekt
,
begin
thus
:
If
there
be
any
weapon
,
or
any
outward
thing
sticking
in
the
Wound
,
let
it
be
removed
,
and
keep
the
part
from
in
jury
,
&
if
you
fear
inflammation
,
open
a
Vein
.
Let
him
lye
in
a
warm
Room
,
on
a
soft
bed
;
and
keep
the
body
loose
,
by
Clisters
,
or
laxative
Medicines
,
regulated
according
to
the
nature
of
the
humour
peccant
.
Let
his
Diet
be
sparing
,
and
small
Beer
his
Drink
.
Let
him
lye
as
free
from
motion
as
may
be
;
let
not
the
cold
Air
,
which
is
inimical
to
the
Sinews
,
afflict
him
;
not
too
hot
Air
,
for
fear
of
inflammation
.
Keep
the
Wound
oren
,
&
if
it
be
not
wide
enough
,
makeit
wider
:
then
use
such
Medicines
,
that
may
ease
the
pain
,
and
draw
forth
the
eruginous
and
fretting
matter
:
Medicines
which
heat
and
dry
without
pain
,
is
good
in
this
case
;
as
the
Oyl
of
Turpetine
,
Ireos
,
Sage
,
Elder
;
or
Water
,
wherein
Salt
and
Turpetine
hath
been
boyled
;
the
Oyl
of
Earth-Worms
,
and
of
the
yolks
of
Eggs
mixed
;
or
the
Oyl
of
Roses
and
Turpetine
;
or
the
Oyl
of
Turpetine
,
and
of
Savine
mixed
;
or
Euphorbium
one
drachm
,
boiled
in
two
Ounces
of
Oyl
.
For
which
purpose
,
this
Plaister
is
good
:
Take
of
the
Roots
of
Marshmallows
,
the
Meal
of
Barley
,
Beans
,
and
Lentils
,
of
eaeh
a
like
quantity
,
as
much
as
you
think
good
:
boil
them
in
Lye
;
then
put
to
it
Oyl
of
Roses
,
Camomel
,
Dill
,
and
Turpetine
,
of
each
sufficient
,
and
a
little
Saffron
,
so
make
a
Plaister
.
If
the
Wound
will
come
to
suppuration
,
heal
it
forward
,
and
afterwards
mundify
it
.
If
the
Nerve
be
cut
,
after
you
have
observed
the
asorelaid
general
Rules
,
joyn
the
Nerve
;
then
apply
this
Medicine
:
Take
of
Karth-worms
prepared
three
drachms
Horstail
two
drachms
,
Betony
and
Nettles
in
powder
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
Olibanum
three
drachms
:
encorporate
them
with
the
slesh
of
Snails
beaten
,
and
apply
it
four
days
,
laying
on
some
Glutinative
Unguent
.
Take

ear
,
both
the
Consonds
,
Horse
tail
,
and
Yarrow
,
of
each
one
handsal
;
Earth-worms
a
pound
and
an
half
;
Oyl
and
Wine
,
of
each
one
pound
and
an
half
;
Vinegar
sour
ounces
:
stamp
them
,
and
let
them
infuse
7
dayes
:
then
add
the
Suet
of
a
Ram
one
peund
,
Pitch
and
Rozin
,
of
each
sour
ounces
:
boil
them
to
the
consumption
of
the
Wine
and
Vinegar
;
add
to
the
straining
Ammoniacum
,
Gathanum
,
Opaponax
,
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
of
each
5
drachms
:
Turpemine
one
ounce
and
an
half
,
Frankincense
,
Maslick
,
and
Sarcocol
,
of
each
three
drachms
:
Of
Saffron
two
ounces
;
Wax
,
as
much
as
needeth
,
to
make
an
Unguent
:
Both
these
are
much
commended
by
Jacobus
Weckerus
.
If
the
Vein
or
Artery
be
cut
,
you
must
first
labour
to
stanch
the
bloud
:
Secondly
,
to
cure
the
Wound
.
First
,
the
bloud
may
be
stanched
,
either
with
,
or
wit
hs
out
Evacuation
:
With
Evacuation
,
is
to
open
a
Vein
on
the
contrary
part
,
and
sometimes
near
the
Wound
,
and
to
let
it
fly
,
and
suddainly
stop
it
again
.
To
stay
the
bloud
without
Evacuation
,
must
be
performed
by
cupping
,
with
scarrifying
,
binding
and
rubbing
of
the
contrary
part
.
Secondly
,
you
must
bridle
the
furious
course
of
in
by
things
that
thicken
,
cool
,
and
astonish
:
Things
which
thicken
the
bloud
,
are
Rice
,
Lentils
,
Jujubees
.
Quinces
,
and
all
Stiptick
Fruits
.
Cold
Water
drunk
,
or
laid
upon
the
member
near
the
Wound
,
doth
astonish
it
.
It
the
Vein
or
Artery
lye
so
that
you
may
easily
come
at
it
,
ty
the
end
with
fine
silk
,
stitch
up
the
Wound
,
and
apply
astrictive
Powders
upon
it
;
and
upon
that
lay
on
the
like
powder
,
mixed
with
the
White
of
an
Egg
,
with
Stuphs
.
This
Powder
is
good
:
Frankincense
,
Aloes
,
Terra
Sigillata
,
Bolearmenick
,
and
Senguis
Draconis
,
of
each
equal
parts
;
pouder
them
finely
,
and
with
the
white
of
an
Egg
,
and
the
hairs
of
a

CHAP.
V.
Of
Luxations
and
Fractures
.
A
Luxation
,
or
Dislocation
,
is
the
slipping
of
a
joint
from
his
Natural
Position
,
and
proper
place
,
into
some
strange
and
unwonted
seat
,
whereby
voluntary
motion
is
hindered
.
A
Fracture
is
a
division
or
breaking
of
the
bone
:
the
causes
of
the
first
are
either
outward
or
inward
;
outward
causes
are
falls
,
strokes
,
extension
,
wrenching
,
or
the
like
,
the
Patient
is
able
to
inform
you
.
The
inward
causes
are
filthy
,
slimy
,
and
Phlegmatick
Humours
,
falling
between
the
joynt
,
as
it
many
times
happeneth
in
the
Sciatica
.
Causes
of
Fractures
,
are
things
of
weight
falling
upon
the
place
,
or
the
Patient
falls
from
on
high
,
slippeth
,
or
such
like
.
A
Dislocation
is
known
by
these
signs
,
viz.
a
Tumor
in
the
part
where
the
bone
lies
,
a
pit
or
cavity
in
the
place
from
whence
the
bone
is
departed
,
great
pain
,
a
difficulty
or
deprivation
of
motion
in
that
member
.
The
bone
broken
is
easily
seen
;
but
whether
the
Fracture
be
overthwart
,
or
long
ways
,
you
may
discern
thus
:
If
it
be
overthwart
,
by
seeling
you
may
discern
the
bone
several
,
and
disjoyned
,
the
bones
make
a
noise
and
crackling
,
when
you
handle
each
side
diversly
.
If
it
be
long-ways
,
the
former
signs
appear
not
and
that
part
appeareth
thicker
then
ordinary
,
uneven
,
and
painful
.
Of
bones
that
slip
out
of
their
places
,
some
are
easily
reposed
,
and
some
more
hardly
;
the
knee
easily
slippeth
out
,
and
is
easily
put
in
again
,
the
fingers
and
shoulders
may
easily
be
reduced
.
The
jaw-bone
,
the
shoulder-blade
,
Ostali
,
the
heel-bone
,
the
hand
and
middle
of
the
foot
do
commonly
knit
in
fourteen
or
one
and
twenty
dayes
:
the
hip
in
fifty
dayes
,
and
the
foot
in
sixty
,
if
the
Patient
give
it
rest
.
If
in
the
setting
the
bone
crack
,
or
make
a
noise
,
and
the
member
look
like
the
other
,
it
will
be
well
,
the
Elbow
seldom
slippeth
out
,
and
is
not
put
in
againe
without
much
trouble
.
If
the
borders
of
the
bones
are
broken
,
it
is
the
worse
.
If
a
wound
,
Inflammation
,
a
violent
paine
accompany
the
Luxation
,
it
is
dangerous
and
hard
to
be
cured
.
If
it
hath
continued
long
,
and
is
grown
Callous
,
it
is
hard
to
be
cured
.
If
a
Child
happen
to
have
a
dislocation
,
and
it
be
not
reduced
,
the
member
groweth
little
or
nothing
.
Likewise
in
a
fracture
the
bones
of
the
Armes
,
Leggs
,
Thighs
and
Fingers
are
not
very
dangerous
,
the
farther
from
the
head
the
better
.
A
fracture
accompanied
with
violent
pain
,
Inflammation
,
wound
in
the
flesh
,
or
contusion
,
is
very
bad
,
because
it
cannot
be
dealt
withall
,
till
those
accidents
be
first
removed
.
In
declining
age
,
and
Cholerick
persons
the
cure
is
difficult
;
in
very
aged
persons
impossible
,
the
older
the
Patient
is
,
the
worse
,
a
rib
broken
is
dangerous
.
The
breach
of
the
bone
or
Gristle
of
the
nose
is
bad
,
worse
if
the
flesh
be
wounded
.
In
a
fracture
of
the
scul
these
are
dangerous
symptomes
;
when
the
membrane
is
unmoveable
,
black
or
evil-coloured
:
loss
of
wits
,
resolution
or
distension
of
the
Neโves
.
A
Transverse
fracture
is
most
tolerable
:
a
slope
fracture
with
loose
fragments
is
worse
,
but
if
it
be
sharp
pointed
,
it
is
worst
of
all
.
The
scull
asketh
thirty
dayes
to
be
joyned
:
the
Arme
and
Leggs
fourty
dayes
,
the
Cubit
thirty
,
a
rib
one
and
twenty
,
the
Showlder
and
Thigh
fourty
,
the
bone
of
the
nose
is
joyned
in
eight
or
ten
dayes
.
For
the
cure
,
first
of
a
dislocation
,
the
bone
must
be
stretched
out
,
and
compelled
to
its
proper
place
.
But
the
operation
must
be
warily
and
variously
handled
,
according
to
the
nature
of
the
part
,
and
the
disposition
,
scituation
,
and
knitting
of
the
bones
,
tendons
,
and
Nerves
.
Sometimes
it
may
be
done
by
the
hand
,
and
sometimes
not
without
hands
and
Engines
:
when
it
is
in
,
you
must
labour
to
keep
it
so
,
by
strengthening
the
member
,
anoint
it
with
the
oyle
of
Roses
,
Myrtles
,
and
Mastich
,
then
lay
on
a
linnen
Cloath
dipped
first
in
oyle
of
Roses
,
upon
that
Cloths
wet
in
the
white
of
an
Egg
,
and
put
upon
it
some
astringent
Powders
:
then
rowle
it
up
with
Clothes
wet
in
Water
and
Vinegar
,
then
splent
it
with
stiffe
Leather
or
Pastboard
,
bind
it
not
too
hard
for
feare
of
inflammation
,
then
leave
it
so
seaven
or
ten
dayes
,
unlesse
any
symptome
arise
.
Then
open
it
and
bathe
it
with
warme
water
,
to
discusse
the
superfluities
and
ease
pain
,
and
do
it
up
as
before
,
and
bind
it
a
little
harder
.
If
there
be
inflammation
,
wound
,
or
fracture
with
the
dislocation
it
is
dangerous
,
and
many
times
the
placeing
of
the
bone
must
be
deferred
till
the
inflammation
be
eased
;
if
it
be
with
a
wound
or
fracture
,
the
following
discourse
of
the
cure
of
fractures
will
instruct
you
.
If
any
Callous
bardnesse
be
gathered
between
the
Luxated
bones
,
the
place
must
be
fomented
with
the
decoction
of
Marsh
and
common-Mallowes
;
or
afterwards
it
must
be
anointed
with
the
unguent
of
Marsh
Mallowes
,
and
lay
on
a
Payster
of
Diachilon
Magnum
.
A
fracture
must
be
thus
dealt
with
,
viz.
let
the
Patient
sit
or
lye
in
a
place
convenient
,
or
such
as
the
nature
of
the
member
requireth
,
let
two
with
their
hands
,
one
under
the
member
,
and
the
other
above
,
or
one
to
the
left
hand
,
the
other
to
the
right
joyne
the
broken
bone
:
if
you
have
need
of
more
force
,
prepare
large
Tyalls
of
Linnen
,
and
let
two
draw
one
one
way
,
and
the
other
another
,
and
pull
the
member
as
much
as
is
needfull
;
but
beware
of
violent
pulling
and
extension
of
the
member
,
least
vehement
pain
,
Fevers
,
Convulsions
,
and
resolutions
be
procured
:
when
the
bone
is
in
its
place
and
joyned
,
labour
to
keep
it
so
,
and
bind
it
up
as
is
taught
before
in
binding
up
of
a
dislocation
,
and
lay
it
best
for
the
Patients
case
:
open
it
not
in
fifteen
dayes
,
unlesse
pain
,
Inflammation
,
Itching
,
or
some
such
like
symptome
;
in
the
mean
while
foment
the
member
round
about
it
with
the
Oyle
of
Roses
,
Myrtels
and
Mastick
.
After
fifteen
dayes
open
it
again
,
and
foment
it
with
Wine
,
wherein
Worm-wood
,
Roses
,
and
a
little
Salt
hath
been
boyled
,
and
bind
it
up
as
before
,
till
seven
dayes
be
past
,
then
open
it
againe
,
and
apply
Emplastrum
Oxycroceum
upon
it
.
If
the
fracture
be
in
the
lower
parts
,
move
not
the
belly
by
Clister
or
otherwise
,
if
the
body
be
full
of
blood
open
a
vein
,
because
it
hinders
defluxions
.
In
the
beginning
let
his
diet
be
but
slender
,
after
the
tenth
day
let
him
eat
freely
of
such
things
as
ingender
thick
,
and
cleaving
juyces
,
as
Rice
,
Wheat
,
the
intrailes
of
Sheep
,
and
the
feet
of
Calves
,
and
Sheep
,
and
such
like
.
If
there
be
a
contusion
with
the
fracture
,
you
must
not
roule
up
the
member
as
before
you
are
taught
,
but
slopewise
on
either
side
of
the
contusion
,
that
so
you
may
come
to
dresse
the
contusion
,
and
not
open
tho
member
,
the
like
you
may
do
if
there
be
a
wound
;
but
if
there
be
any
small
splints
that
prick
the
member
,
they
must
be
taken
out
before
.
If
you
find
that
the
Callus
grow
not
fast
enough
,
apply
such
things
as
draw
nourishment
to
the
place
:
as
warm-water
,
moderate
frications
,
and
a
Plaister
of
Pitch
.
If
it
grow
over
great
,
apply
that
which
may
diminish
iโ
,
rub
it
much
,
and
apply
a
plate
of
Lead
to
the
part
.
If
it
be
inflamed
,
โoment
the
part
with
warm-water
,
and
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
such
things
which
are
appropriated
to
allay
such
distempers
:
and
apply
no
splents
till
the
inflammation
be
removed
.
If
the
part
be
vexed
with
Itch
,
or
Pustules
,
anoint
it
with
unguentum
populeon
,
diapompholigos
or
album
.
If
the
part
gangrene
,
scarrifie
it
,
and
deale
with
it
,
as
you
shall
be
taught
in
its
proper
place
.

VI.
Of
Accidents
commonly
happening
to
wouned
persons
.
I
Should
first
begin
with
immoderate
bleeding
,
being
commonly
the
first
Accident
;
but
to
avoid
needlesse
repetitions
,
I
shall
referr
the
Reader
to
the
fourth
Chapter
of
this
book
,
where
I
have
sufficiently
performed
this
task
.
If
immoderate
pain
vex
the
Patient
,
as
many
times
it
doth
;
Simples
mitigating
pain
,
may
be
made
use
of
,
viz.
common
Oyle
,
the
Oyle
of
Roses
,
and
Poppyes
,
the
crums
of
Wheaten
bread
,
steeped
in
hot
water
,
the
white
of
an
egg
,
Women's
or
Cows-milk
,
Sheeps
grease
,
you
may
make
compound
medicines
of
the
root
of
Night
shade
,
finely
powdered
,
and
Hogs-grease
,
make
an
oyntmnt
,
or
you
may
use
unguentum
รจ
Solano
,
or
the
white
of
an
egg
,
and
Stiptick
Wine
,
and
such
like
.
Then
you
must
consider
if
the
distemper
be
hot
or
cold
;
if
hot
,
whether
it
is
of
the
whole
body
or
the
part
only
:
if
the
whole
body
be
distempered
,
it
is
a
Fever
,
and
you
must
seek
the
cure
in
the
second
book
;
if
the
distemper
be
in
the
Member
only
,
foment
it
with
the
decoction
of
Plantane
,
Roses
,
and
such
like
,
with
the
Oyl
of
Roses
,
unguentum
album
,
populeon
,
&c
:
if
the
member
suffer
by
a
cold
distemper
,
which
you
may
know
by
the
swart
colour
,
loosnesse
,
and
softnesse
of
the
part
;
then
you
must
apply
heating
medicines
:
unguentum
Basilicon
,
will
do
very
well
in
this
case
.
If
a
Convulsion
happeneth
,
you
must
consider
what
is
the
cause
:
if
repletion
,
or
fullnesse
of
phlegm
be
the
cause
,
let
the
place
wherein
he
lyeth
be
naturally
,
or
art
ficially
hot
,
and
dry
:
let
him
lye
free
from
perturbation
,
and
trouble
,
let
his
sleep
be
moderate
,
and
only
in
the
night
.
Let
him
be
very
moderate
and
sparing
in
his
Diet
,
which
ought
to
be
rere
Eggs
,
Barly
,
Cream
,

Let
the
phlegmatick
humor
be
purged
,
and
the
convulsed
part
anointed
,
with
the
oyle
of
Nard
,

,
the

,
and
the

of
Quinces
,
till
it
be
consumed
,
then
strain
it
and
bring
it
into
the
form
of
a
Liniment
.
If
Convulsion
come
by
repletion
of
blood
,
and
inflammation
,
open
the
middle
vein
,
and
draw
blood
at
severall
times
,
give
Clysters

and
deal
with
this
inflammation
as

.
If
emptinesse
be
the
cause
of

mind
and
much
sleep
.
To
the
diet

his
body
or
the
part
with
warm
water
and
oyle
,
or
anoint
with
the
oyle
of
sweet
Almonds
.
Be
sure
to
remember
to
have
respect
to
the
greatnesse
of
the
disease
,
the
season
of
the
yeare
,
the
age
,
strength
,
and
constitution
of
the
Patient
.
Swooning
often
happening
to
wounded
persons
,
if
vioient
pain
be
the
cause
,
labour
to
appease
the
pain
,
you
have
rules
enough
before
going

by
unmeasurable
Evacuation
,
cast
Rose-water

,
use
strong
Ligatures
and

parts
.
If

Creature
,
or

,
be
the
cause
of
this
symptome
,
you
must
seek
the

Chapter
.
If
Raving
and
Madnesse
happen
,
appoint
a
mean
diet
betwixt
hot

labour
to

sleep
,
to
loosen

and
to
expell
all
perturbations
of
the
mind
.
If
the

an
Emollient
Clister
;
but
above
all
,
have
a
speciall
regard
to
the
wound
,
because
pain

may
be

,
therefore

Vinegar
,
and
oyle

If
the

Lenitive
medicines
,

CHAP.
VII
.
Of
Sanguine
Tumors
.
FIrst
Phlegmon
is
a
Tumor
begotten
of
pure
blood
,
and
is
for
the
most
part
incident
to
the
fleshy
parts
;
the
Antecedent
cause
is
abundance
of
blood
.
In
which
Tumor
are
three
things
considerable
,
first
the
part
that
sendeth
it
,
either
by
reason
of
its
plenty
,
strength
,
or
streightnesse
of
passages
;
Secondly
,
the
part
receiving
it
,
either
by
reason
of
weaknesse
,
largenesse
or
opening
of
the
passages
,
or
by
the
lownesse
of
its
scituation
.
Thirdly
,
the
part
drawing
it
,
which
it
doth
either
through
heat
or
pain
within
it
.
The
conjoyned
cause
is
much
blood
in
the
part
,
which
before
it
cometh
to
suppuration
,
causeth
a
Tumor
,
Rednesse
,
heat
,
and
pain
:
but
when
it
is
suppurate
,
the
Tumor
is
soft
,
yielding
and
growing
to
a
point
,
a
pricking
and
beating
pain
:
last
of
all
the
skin
breaketh
,
and
the
pus
issueth
out
:
somtimes
if
the
humors
be
thin
,
and
the
skin
of
the
same
nature
,
the
Tumor
may
be
resolved
without
suppuration
.
To
this
Tumor
happeneth
evill
accidents
somtimes
,
if
the
Chirurgion
want
care
or
skill
.
Sometimes
it
turneth
to
corruption
,
and
is
seen
by
its
leaden
black
colour
,
and
stinking
savor
.
Somtimes
the
matter
maketh
a
regression
,
and
the
Tumor
diminisheth
,
but
the
whole
body
is
inflamed
with
a
Feaver
and
such
like
accidents
.
And
somtimes
it
turneth
into
a
Schirrhous
hardnesse
.
In
the
cure
the
Antecedent
cause
must
be
first
removed
.
Therefore
first
let
the
Chirurgion
open
the
Liver-vein
,
or
any
other
vein
,
which
he
finds
hath
more
affinity
with
the
sending
part
;
if
he
see
good
,
he
may
bleed
him
in
the
opposite
part
for
a
revulsion
,
and
derive
the
matter
to
some
part
adjacent
,
by
cupping
,
frication
,
or
Ligatures
;
and
apply
to
the
part
affected
medicines
that
cool
and
repell
or
beat
back
the
flowing
humors
;
and
of
this
sort
are
these
simples
.
Acatia
,
Vinegar
,
Balaustines
,
Bolearmenick
,
Camphite
,
sealed
Earth
,
Myrtles
,
Pome-granate
Peels
,
unripe
Grapes
,
Vine-leaves
,
the
leaves
of
Cyprus
,
Plantane
,
Oake
,
Sumach
,
Night-shade
,
Henbane
,
Housleeke
,
Lettuce
,
Purslane
,
Roses
,
and
such
like
.
Of
these
you
may
make
somentations
,
or
Cataplasmes
,
to
be
used
in
the
beginning
of
the
Tumor
,
to
hinder
and
beat
back
the
blood
,
which
floweth
to
feed
it
.
Take
this
caution
that
in
some
cases
,
these
medicines
ought
not
to
be
medled
with
,
to
wit
when
the
humor
is
Malignant
,
or
thick
;
or
if
the
Tumor
be
Criticall
:
Or
upon
some
of
the
Glandulous
parts
.
Next
you
must
deale
with
the
conjoyned
cause
,
or
the
blood
impact
in
the
part
affected
.
If
you
judgo
that
the
blood
is
thin
,
and
apt
to
be
discussed
,
discussing
medicines
are
to
be
applyed
.
This
Cataplasm
is
good
:
Take
the
leaves
of
Mallows
,
Melilot
and
Camomell
,
of
each
one
handfull
:
the
seeds
of
Dill
,
Flax
,
and
Fenugreek
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
,
boyle
them
to
the
Consumption
of
the
Water
,
then
beat
them
in
a
Stone-Morter
;
and
add
to
it
the
oyle
of
Dill
,
and
Camomell
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
a
little
Honey
and
Leaven
,
and
make
it
into
the
form
of
a
Cataplasm
.
But
if
the
matter
be
thick
,
and
not
fit
to
be
discussed
,
then
labour
to
bring
it
to
suppuration
.
For
which
these
Simples
are
proper
,
Warm
water
,
Butter
,
Wheaten
Bran
,
or
Wheaten
bread
,
the
grease
of
an
Hogg
,
Calfe
,
Goose
,
&c.
Grease
tryed
from
the
Wool
of
a
Sheep
,
Rozin
,
Pitch
,
Figs
,
Saffron
,
Frankinsence
,
&c.
Of
these
you
may
make
Cataplasms
,
and
remove
them
twice
a
day
.
If
the
hot
intemperature
doth
stirr
up
a
Fever
,
let
the
diet
be
ordered
,
and
such
medicines
administred
,
as
the
nature
of
the
Fever
requireth
;
see
the
second
book
,
among
the
Chapters
of
Feavers
;
when
you
find
it
very
soft
,
and
well
suppurated
,
open
it
with
a
Lancet
,
where
it
is
softest
,
and
in
the
most
convenient
place
for
the
matter
to
come
forth
;
afterwards
mundifie
,
incarnate
and
Cicatize
it
.
A
Carbuncle
is
a
Sanguine
Tumor
,
the
antecedent
cause
of
it
is
black
,
thick
,
hot
and
faculent
blood
,
flowing
to
the
place
:
the
conjoyned
cause
is
the
settling
of
the
blood
in
the
part
as
you
have
heard
before
.
The
signes
of
a
Carbuncle
are
sometimes
but
one
,
and
somtimes
many
small
pustu'es
like
burnt
blisters
,
which
being
broken
,
a
crusty
Ulcer
ensueth
.
If
it
be
pestilentiall
,
the
crust
is
black
or
Ash
colour
,
about
it
rednesse
,
Inflammation
and
grevious
pain
;
the
Patient
is
troubled
with
Loathing
,
Vomiting
,
losse
of
Appetite
,
Palpitation
of
the
heart
,
and
Swooning
.
Carbuncles
for
the
most
part
are
attendants
of
the
Plague
,
and
Epidemicall
causes
.
If
they
come
upon
the
Emunctuories
,
there
is
very
great
danger
,
lest
the
venemons
humors
fall
upon
some
principall
part
.
If
it
break
out
about
the
Stomach
,
or
Jaws
,
there
is
danger
of
Choaking
.
If
the
colour
be
first
Red
,
after
Yellowish
,
it
is
laudable
,
but
if
it
be
black
or
blew
it
is
dangerous
;
If
the
accidents
which
accompany
the
disease
vanish
,
there
is
hepes
.
In
the
cure
,
first
have
regard
to
the
antient
cause
which
is
thick
hot
blood
,
and
must
be
altered
and
evacuated
,
to
alter
the
quality
of
the
blood
,
give
him
broath
of
Chickens
,
with
Lettice
,
Purslane
,
Pomegranates
,
and
Lemons
;
and
his
drink
Barly-Water
:
give
him
medicines
cooling
and
concocting
:
as
Juleps
made
of
syrup
of
Vinegar
,
Pomegranates
,
Citrons
,
Lemons
and
Endive
;
and
the
distilled
water
of
Lettice
,
Purslane
,
and
the
like
.
But
if
the
Pestilence
be
present
,
you
must
have
respect
to
the
malignity
,
and
give
such
medicines
which
strengthen
the
Heart
and
Vitalls
:
See
the
90.
Chapter
of
the
second
Book
;
the
quantity
must
be
diminished
,
ether
by
blood-letting
,
cupping
,
or
medicines
,
as
gentle
Purges
or
Clisters
;
in
all
which
be
well
advised
,
if
the
Plague
be
present
.
If
there
be
a
great
fluxion
of
blood
to
the
part
,
lay
on
discutients
and
repressings
:
discutients
you
have
before
.
Take
this
caution
that
you
apply
gentle
ones
in
the
beginning
,
and
stronger
when
the
matter
is
gathered
,
to
lay
defensives
to
the
adjacent
parts
,
as
the
Oyntment
of
Roses
,
Bolearmenick
,
or
the
oyle
of
Mittles
and
Vinegar
;
also
attractives
are
convenient
,
as
hot
Bread
,
the
warm
Lungs
of
beasts
new
killed
,
the
taile
of
a
Cock
made
bare
,
and
a
little
Salt
put
into
it
and
applyed
,
or
young
Pidgeons
slit
alive
and
applyed
warm
.
The
cause
conjoyned
must
be
taken
away
by
Chirurgions
,
or
Medicine
:
first
scatifying
of
the
Tumor
(
if
nothing
(
orbid
it
)
deeply
,
and
wash
it
with
warm-water
Horsleeches
are
good
.
When
the
matter
cannot
be
dispersed
,
or
otherwis
delt
with
,
you
must
apply
such
things
as
have
an
altering
,
or
ripening
quality
,
as
is
aforesaid
.
If
the
Carhuncle
be
very
venemous
,
this
is
commended
viz.
Take
a
great
Onion
,
and
cut
off
the
head
of
it
,
and
pick
out
the
core
or
middle
part
;
fill
the
hollow
place
with
good
Venice
Treacle
,
pasle
on
the
head
again
with
a
little
Leaven
,
and
roast
it
in
the
Embers
:
when
it
is
soft
pill
it
,
and
beat
it
in
a
Morter
,
and
apply
it
warm
to
the
Sore
,
and
renew
it
every
6
hours
.
This
Cataplasm
is
much
commended
.
Take
of
Onions
,
and
Garlick
heads
,
of
each
of
them
four
;
one
Lilly
Root
,
the
Seed
of
Flax
,
and
Fenugreek
,
of
each
one
spoonful
:
Snails
,
with
their
shโls
,
four
or
five
;
sour
Figs
:
Leaven
as
much
as
a
Walnut
,
Barrows
grease
as
much
as
two
Walnuts
;
beat
them
all
in
a
Morter
very
well
,
warm
it
and
apply
it
.
Then
you
must
mundifie
and
heal
it
;
but
if
there
remain
a
crusty
Escar
,
you
must
resolve
it
;
for
which
purpose
this
Plaister
is
good
.
Take
the
flower
of
Wheat
and
Barley
,
of
each
three
ounces
,
with
the
decoction
of
Mallows
,
Violets
,
and
Althea
Roots
,
and
make
it
into
a
solid
Plaister
:
then
add
to
it
fresh
Butter
,
and
Hogs
grease
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
the
yolks
of
two
new
laid
Eggs.
This
mollifieth
the
crustiness
,
and
caseth
pain
.
If
it
be
corrupt
and
putrified
,
you
must
make
use
of
incision
,
cautery
,
or
hot
Iron
.
Gangrena
is
a
mortification
of
any
part
,
occasioned
by
exceeding
inflammation
,
but
not
fully
accomplished
,
but
some
sense
remaineth
.
Sphacelus
is
when
the
part
is
utterly
deprived
of
senle
,
&
is
mortified
:
so
that
if
it
be
stricken
,
burnt
,
or
lanced
,
it
feeleth
no
hurt
.
The
fleshy
parts
are
not
onely
subject
to
this
,
but
even
the
Nerves
and
Bones
.
The
cause
is
adust
bloud
,
flowing
to
,
or
lodged
in
the
part
.
Outward
causes
are
cold
Air
,
or
Medicines
,
unmeasurable
Heat
,
or
Venome
,
Ligatures
,
Compressions
,
Contusions
.
Gangrena
is
known
by
the
loss
of
sense
,
though
not
wholly
,
black
or
swartish
colour
;
there
is
pain
,
heat
,
and
beating
of
the
Atteries
.
In
Sphacelus
,
there
is
a
total
loss
of
sense
,
black
colour
,
putrified
,
stinking
,
rotten
;
being
pressed
,
yieldeth
to
the
bottom
,
and
returneth
not
.
The
first
is
difficult
to
cure
;
the
other
more
,
and
not
without
cutting
,
when
the
Bones
and
Sinews
are
affected
it
is
incurable
:
unless
it
be
cured
in
the
beginning
,
the
part
affected
dyeth
,
and
it
creepeth
to
the
near
parts
,
to
the
destruction
of
the
whole
Body
.
In
the
Cure
,
first
temper
the
bloud
by
a
cooling
Diet
as
before
,
and
give
preparing
Juleps
,
such
as
are
afore
prescribed
.
Diminish
the
same
by
bloud-letting
,
if
nothing
forbid
it
,
and
by
gentle
Purges
;
as
Cassia
Fistula
,
Tamarinds
,
Fumitory
,
Catholicon
,
Diaprunum
,
Lenitive
,
and
the
like
.
Lay
repressing
Medicines
to
the
parts
round
about
:
Take
of
the
Oyl
of
Roses
and
Myrrh
,
of
each
three
ounces
and
an
half
,
the
Juyce
of
Plantane
and
Nightshade
,
of
each
two
Ounces
,
boyl
them
to
the
consumption
of
the
Juyces
:
add
to
it
white
Wax
one
Ounce
and
an
half
,
the
Meal
of
Beans
,
Lentils
,
and
Barley
,
of
each
half
an
Ounce
;
of
all
the
Sanders
,
two
drachms
and
an
half
,
Bolearmenick
one
Ounce
,
the
Powder
of
Myrtles
one
drachm
;
mixe
them
for
a
defensive
.
Give
the
Patient
such
things
inwardly
,
as
chear
the
Heart
,
and
revive
the
Spirits
.
This
done
,
draw
up
your
forces
against
the
conjoyned
cause
:
and
first
,
if
nothing
prohibit
,
bleed
your
Patient
,
and
scarifie
the
place
,
and
wash
it
with
Water
and
Salt
:
cut
the
member
,
or
burn
it
with
a
hot
Iron
,
and
leave
nothing
that
is
putrified
,
to
preserve
the
rest
of
the
Body
:
then
apply
Medicines
,
whose
property
is
to
dry
and
resolve
.
Quercetanus
preseribes
two
Unguants
of
great
force
for
the
purpose
:
Take
of
Honey
two
Ounces
,
Crocus
Martis
,
and
Crocus
Veneris
,
of
each

.
Of
Cholerick
Tumors
.
FIrst
,
Erysipelas
,
or
ignis
Sacer
,
is
a
Cholerick
Fluxion
,
chiefly
consisting
betwixt
,
or
about
the
skins
.
The
antecedent
cause
is
Choller
,
abounding
and
flowing
to
the
part
.
The
conjoyned
cause
is
the
same
Humour
there
setled
.
The
first
is
known
by
a
Cholerick
Constitution
and
Diet.
The
second
is
known
by
great
heat
,
small
Tumour
,
reddish
or
yellow
colour
,
soon
vanishing
in
touching
,
and
quickly
returning
:
The
pain
is
not
with
pulsation
and
beating
,
but
biting
and
pricking
,
and
the
Patient
is
sensible
of
the
motion
of
a
Tertian
Feaver
.
Erysipelas
about
the
head
is
a
hard
thing
to
cure
,
and
it
easily
gets
into
the
Face
,
and
there
spreadeth
:
for
the
flesh
there
is
thin
,
and
the
humour
light
and
active
.
If
it
happen
to
the
Womb
of
a
woman
with
child
,
it
is
deadly
:
if
it
lye
near
the
bone
,
it
is
dangerous
:
if
it
return
from
the
outward
parts
to
the
inward
,
it
is
very
evil
:
the
like
judge
,
if
it
come
to
suppuration
,
which
it
seldom
doth
,
but
is
sent
forth
by
transpiration
.
First
,
order
the
Air
to
be
cool
and
moist
,
where
your
Patient
lodgeth
,
and
his
Diet
of
the
same
nature
.
Bleed
not
,
unless
bloud
be
mixed
with
Choller
,
which
is
called
Erysipelas
Phlegmonosum
:

conjoyned
cause
must
be
removed
by
Medicines
,
which
have
power
to
evacuate
and
discuss
;
Take
of
the
Litharge
of
Gold
one
ounce
,
washed
Ceruse
six
drachms
,
the
juyce
of
Plantane
,
and
Womans
milk
,
of
each
one
ounce
and
an
half
,
Oyl
of
Roses
three
ounces
,
white
wax
,
as
much
as
sufficieth
to
make
an
Unguent
.
There
are
other
Yumonis
,
which
do
commonly
associate
with
Erysipelas
,
viz.
Herpes
Exedens
,
or
Miliaris
,
which
are
called
Chollerick
Pushes
,
and
the
Shingles
.
The
first
is
caused
of
a
thick
and
sharp
ใโใ
of
yellow
Choller
,
slowing
into
the
part
which
doth
feed
upon
,
and
eat
the
skin
.
Herpes
Miliaris
are
small
Pastules
rising
upon
the
โkin
,
like
the
seeds
of
Millet
from
whence
it
hath
its
name
:
It
is
caused
of
yellow
Choller
,
mixed
with
thin
Phlegm
.
These
,
Humours
abounding
in
the
body
will
declare
.
The
cure
of
these
,
differ
little
from
the
former
;
appoint
the
same
Dier
and
Medicines
,
externally
and
internally
,
making
this
difference
:
In
the
first
,
let
the
Medicines
preparing
be
more
cutting
,
and
the
purging
Medicines
stronger
,
because
of
the
thickness
of
the
Humour
;
and
let
the
outward
Medicines
be
more
powerfully
discutient
.
In
the
cure
of
Herpes
Miliaris
,
observe
the
same
Diet
,
to
your
Preparatives
,
and
such
things
as
cut
Phlegm
:
To
your
Purges
,
such
as
purge
Phlegme
.
Extemal
Medicines
may
by
an
easie
Brain
be
regulated
,
little
differing
from
the
former
.
This
Cataplasm
is
very
good
:
Take
of
Pidgcons
Dung
fresh
,
as
much
as
you
please
:
mix
it
with
Wheaten
flower
,
and
apply
it
cold
,
and
cover
it
with
a
Colewort
Leafe
;
renew
it
twice
in
24
hours
.

Of
Flegmatick
Tumours
.
OEdema
is
a
loose
Tumor
without
pain
,
proceeding
of
Phlegmatick
Humours
,
flowing
into
some
part
.
The
Tumor
is
loose
and
soft
,
yieldeth
to
the
finger
,
and
retaineth
the
pit
after
the
finger
is
gone
.
This
Disease
is
more
prone
to
Resolution
,
than
Suppuration
:
sometimes
it
turneth
to
Nodes
and
Knots
in
the
flesh
.
Order
your
Patient
with
a
Diet
,
contrary
in
quality
to
the
Disease
,
viz.
Heating
,
drying
,
and
making
thin
.
Then
prepare
the
Humour
for
Evacuation
;
these
Simples
are
good
:
Betony
,
Sage
,
Hysop
,
Balm
,
Polymountain
,
Penyroyal
,
Calamint
,
Origanum
,
Margarom
,
Southernwood
,
Mint
,
Wormwood
,
Germander
,
Groundpine
,
Cowslips
,
Agrimony
,
Maiden-hair
,
the
cold
Seeds
,
Lignum
Vitae
,
the
Roots
of
Cyprus
,
Acorus
,
Ireos
,
Galanga
,
Elicampane
,
Smallage
,
Parsley
,
Grass
,
Asparagus
,
Butchers
Broom
,
Fenel
,
&c.
Of
these
you
may
make
Compound
Medicines
,
to
prepare
the
Humors
for
purging
.
This
Apozem
is
of
good
virtue
:
Take
the
Root
of
Ireos
,
and
Galanga
,
of
each
6
drachms
Smallage
,
Parsley
,
and
Asparagus
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
of
Betony
,
Balm
,
Germander
,
Groundpine
,
and
Maidenhair
,
of
each
one
handful
;
the
Seeds
of
Annise
,
Fenel
,
Caraway
,
and
Cummin
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
the
seed
of
Melones
6
drachms
;
of
Raisins
stoned
two
โunces
,
the
seed
of
Carthamus
two
ounces
,
Senna
one
ounce
and
an
half
,
the
Flowers
of
Broom
,
red
Ciโers
,
Stechas
,
and
Bugloss
,
of
each
one
pugil
:
make
a
decoction
,
of
which
take
two
pound
,
and
dissolvt
therein
Honey
of
Roses
,
and
Syrup
of
Wormwood
,
of
each
two
ounces
;
Sugar
as
much
as
sufficeth
,
Aromaticum
Rosatum
two
drachms
and
an
half
;
make
an
Apozem
,
and
clarifie
it
for
6
Doses
.
When
the
Humoes
are
thus
prepared
,
you
must
come
to
purging
them
with
such
Medicines
,
as
purge
the
Phlegmatick
Humours
:
the
next
Book
will
furnish
you
with
store
of
such
Medicines
,
so
that
I
need
nor
here
insert
them
.
Outwardly
sortifie
the
part
with
this
or
the
like
Unguent
.
Take
of
Bolearmenick
,
and
Acatia
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
Cyperus
half
an
ounce
,
Aloes
and
Myrrh
,
of
each
five
drachms
,
Saffron
half
a
drachm
,
the
juyce
of
Coleworts
two
ounces
,
Oyl
of
Roses
four
ounces
,
Vinegar
one
drachm
and
an
half
;
Wax
sufficient
,
to
make
an
Unguent
.
Concerning
the
matter
impact
in
the
parts
,
you
must
consider
whether
it
be
thin
,
and
may
be
resolved
;
or
thick
and
subject
to
suppuration
,
If
the
Humor
be
thin
,
lay
on
this
,
or
a
Plaister
of
this
nature
.
Take
of
Cow
Dung
one
pound
and
an
half
,
Olibanum
,
Styrax
,
Moss
of
Trees
,
Calamus
,
Atomaticus
,
Spicknard
,
Wormwood
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
;
make
them
up
with
Vinegar
,
and
the
decoction
of
Coleworts
into
the
form
of
a
plaister
.
If
you
find
the
matter
will
come
to
suppuration
,
apply
this
Plaister
.
Take
of
Mallows
,
Trank
Ursint
,
the
Root
of
Lillies
,
Onions
,
Snails
,
Leaven
,
and
Flax
Seed
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
sufficientl
;
boil
them
,
and
beat
them
in
a
Morter
,
with
Hogs
grease
,
or
fresh
Butter
,
to
the
form
of
a
Plaister
.
If
you
fear
that
the
Humours
may
suffer
in
the
mean
while
,
provide
internal
and
external
Medicines
for
the
same
:
Take
of
Conserve
of
the
Flowers
of
Stechas
,
and
Rosemary
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
of
the
Rinds
of
Citrons
preserved
half
an
ounce
,
Emblicks
,
and
Mirabolans
preserved
two
drachms
,
Species
Diacinnamon
two
scruples
with
Syrup
of
Citron
Peels
,
make
an
Electuary
;
whereof
let
the
Patient
take
the
quantity
of
a
Nut
an
hour
before
meat
,
The
Aposthume
being
ripe
,
open
it
with
an
hot
Iron
,
or
Coustick
;
then
mundifie
it
with
Unguentum
Apostolorum
,
or
cleanse
it
with
this
following
Unguent
:
Take
of
Galbanum
,
Ammoniacum
,
Rozin
,
Turpetine
,
Pitch
,
Bullocks
Tallow
,
and
Oyl
,
of
each
a
like
quantity
:
Dissolve
the
Gums
in
Vinegar
,
and
then
let
them
hoil
a
little
with
the
rest
upon
the
fire
.
Afterwards
incarnate
and
cicatrize
it
as
you
do
other
Ulcers
.
Out
of
this
Phlegmatick
Humour
is
sometimes
ingendred
a
flatuous
and
windy
Tumor
,
which
is
gathered
either
under
the
skin
,
or
under
the
membranes
,
which
cover
and
cloath
the
Bones
and
Muscles
.
They
appear
with
a
certain
brightness
and
shining
,
resist
the
touch
;
and
being
smitten
,
sound
like
a
Bladder
:
the
pain
is
extensive
,
and
stretching
.
Let
his
Drink
be
such
,
as
expels
and
prevents
such
Humours
.
Let
the
Humours
be
prepared
by
Wine
,
expelling
Julips
,
and
the
Body
emptied
by
Carminative
,
and
Clisters
,
and
convenient
Purges
.
Then
you
must
attenuate
,
discuss
,
and
scatter
the
conjoyned
Cause
;
these
Simples
are
fit
for
the
purpose
,
Anise
,
Fenol
,
Dill
,
Caraway
,
Carots
,
Commin
,
Siler
Montauum
,
Smallage
,
Parsley
,
Rue
,
Bay-Berries
,
Oyl
of
Rue
,
Bays
,
Flowerdeluce
,
Nard
,
Spike
,
Nuts
,
Euphorbium
,
and
such
like
.
Of
these
,
and
other
Ingredients
of
the
like
nature
,
are
many
Unguents
and
Plaisters
formed
.
Take
of
the
Oyl
of
Camomel
,
Dill
,
Bitter
Almonds
,
and
Rue
,
of
each
one
ounce
;
the
Seed
of
Annise
,
Fenel
,
Carrots
,
Caraway
,
Arreos
,
and
Rue
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
White-wine
three
ounces
:
Boil
it
to
the
consumption
of
the
White-wine
;
strain
it
,
and
add
Wax
sufficent
to
make
an
Unguent
.
The
expert
Chirurgeon
ought
to
compound
and
alter
his
Unguents
,
Plaisters
,
and
all
his
Medicines
,
according
to
the
constitution
of
the
Patient
,
and
nature
of
the
Tumor
;
for
which
it
is
impossible
to
lay
down
certain
Rules
.
Give
inwardly
Diacinnamom
,
Diacalamenthum
,
Aromaticum
,
Rosatum
,
Diagalanga
,
Dianisum
,
and
such
like
;
and
lay
a
Plaister
of
the
same
nature
to
the
stomach
.
If
a
Watry
Tumor
is
ingendred
in
any
part
,
or
all
over
the
body
,
see
the
58th
Chap.
of
the
2d
Book
.
Struma
is
a
Tumor
,
in
which
,
underneath
,
certain
Glandules
made
of
Matter
and
Bloud
,
and
inclosed
with
a
Membrane
do
grow
:
They
have
their
place
for
the
most
part
about
the
Neck
,
Arm-holes
,
and
sometimes
in
other
places
.
The
principal
cause
is
Flegmatick
Humors
:
sometimes
falls
,
โโฆoaks
,
or
great
Surfeits
may
be
the
cause
.
They
that
have
narrow
and
short
Fore-heads
,
flat
Temples
,
and
broad
Jaws
,
are
subject
to
this
Disease
.
This
Tumor
seldom
comes
to
suppuration
,
if
it
doth
,
it
gathereth
again
.
The
greater
the
Tumor
,
and
the
deeper
it
is
rooted
,
the
harder
the
Cure
.
For
the
Cure
of
the
Struma
,
or
Kings
evill
appoint
a
diet
,
that
will
heat
,
dry
,
and
attenuate
;
then
prepare
the
humors
.
Take
of
Oxymell
compounded
,
syrup
of
Staechas
,
honey
of
Roses
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
:
the
distiled
water
of
Scabius
and
fumitory
,
of
each
one
ounce
:
mix
it
for
one
dose
,
and
take
thereof
as
often
as
need
requireth
.
Then
purge
with
Diaphaenicon
,
Diacatholicon
,
Indi
majoris
,
Hiera
piera
,
Pill
Cochiae
,
de
agarico
,
and
such
like
.
It
is
good
also
to
cleanse
the
blood
by
Urine
:
Take
of
Pilewort
three
handfull
,
Philipendula
two
handfulls
,
pimpernell
,
Mouseare
,
Tansie
,
Red
Coleworts
,
Madder
,
of
each
one
headfull
:
the
Roots
of
Fennell
,
Parsly
,
round
Birthwort
,
Raddish
,
and
stinking
Gladwin
,
of
each
half
a
handful
,
the
seed
of
Nettles
,
Juniper
,
and
Bay-berryes
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
boyle
them
in
Wite-Wine
to
the
Consumpoion
of
half
,
sweeten
it
with
Honey
,
give
every
second
or
third
day
three
ounces
in
the
morning
.
If
the
conjoyned
cause
be
fit
to
be
resolved
,
then
use
meanes
that
can
mollifie
,
attenuate
,
disperse
and
sepetate
:
such
as
is
Diachylon
,
Commune
,
and
Magnum
,
Diapalma
,
many
unguents
,
Liniments
,
and
Plaisters
may
be
made
for
the
purpose
aforesaid
,
which
I
heare
omit
.
If
the
matter
be
unfit
for
resolution
,
then
have
you
two
wayes
to
empty
it
,
that
is
suppuration
,
and
incision
.
This
plaister
is
good
to
ripen
it
.
Take
the
roots
of
Marsh-Mallows
,
and
Lillyes
,
of
each
one
pound
,
boyle
them
soft
,
and
beat
them
in
a
Morter
:
Garlick
and
Onyons
boyled
,
of
each
three
ounces
,
the
oyle
of
Lillyes
and
Buster
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
Hogs
grease
,
and
Goose
grease
,
of
each
two
ounces
and
an
half
,
the
Meale
of
Wheat
,
Fenugreek
and
Flax
seed
,
sufficient
,
the
Yolks
of
two
Eggs
make
a
plaister
,
when
it
is
ripe
open
it
with
an
instrument
,
or
ruptory
of
Chantharides
or
Arsnick
.
If
it
appeare
filthy
,
cleanse
it
with
Unguentum
Apostolorum
,
Egyptiacum
,
or
such
like
,
afterwards
incarnate
and
Cicatrize
it
.
If
it
submit
not
to
medicines
,
it
must
be
taken
out
by
manuall
operation
,
which
only
belongeth
to
an
expert
and
able
Chirurgion
:
seeing
the
whole
cure
is
difficult
,
and
ought
to
be
managed
by
an
able
brain
,
and
skillfull
hand
,
I
omitt
any
further
discourse
of
it
,
it
being
my
taske
principally
to
instruct
people
of
mean
Capacity
.
There
are
three
other
phlegmatick
Tumors
,
which
lye
under
the
generall
notion
:
the
first
is
called
Atheroma
,
and
is
a
Tumor
without
pain
and
change
of
colour
,
which
is
a
humor
contained
in
the
membraines
or
Nervous
Coats
:
it
is
clammy
like
sodden
Meale
,
Starch
,
and
somtimes
mixed
(
as
it
were
)
with
haires
,
peeces
of
bones
,
&c.
Meliseras
is
a
Tumor
somwhat
thinner
,
and
almost
of
the
substance
of
Hony
,
otherwise
agreeing
with
the
former
.
Steatoma
is
much
like
the
two
former
,
save
that
the
humor
contained
is
like
suet
,
and
the
Tumor
doth
encrease
,
and
is
much
enlarged
in
processe
of
time
;
the
inward
causes
of
them
all
are
Flegmatick
humors
,
with
which
the
body
doth
abound
.
The
first
is
thus
known
,
the
Tumor
is
long
and
ridged
;
being
pressed
,
returneth
to
its
place
again
but
slowly
,
by
reason
of
the
clammynesse
of
the
humor
;
the
second
Tumor
is
rounder
and
thinner
,
being
pressed
,
yieldeth
and
returneth
speedily
;
the
last
is
hard
,
yieldeth
not
to
the
pressing
of
the
finger
,
for
the
humor
is
like
Suet.
The
first
must
be
dealt
with
by
corrosives
and
incision
;
the
second
by
discutients
,
corrosives
,
and
incision
;
the
last
no
otherwise
but
by
incision
alone
.
The
diet
,
preparatives
,
and
purges
,
which
are
proper
for
Oedema
,
are
here
to
be
used
.
If
you
find
the
Tumor
fit
for
resolution
,
apply
discussive
plaisters
,
a
plaister
made
of
Cyclamen
is
much
commended
.
Take
of
Cyclamen
,
otherwise
called
Sowbread
,
as
much
as
you
pleass
,
Hogs-grease
and
Brimstone
of
each
equall
parts
,
beat
them
into
the
form
of
a
plaister
.
If
it
will
not
be
resolved
,
consume
it
with
eating
medicines
:
among
many
of
this
nature
,
this
following
is
commended
.
Take
of
the
Scales
or
flower
of
Brasse
half
an
ounce
,
of
red
Arsenick
,
and
black
Ellebore
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
with
Oyle
of
Roses
;
make
a
plaister
;
make
a
deep
eschar
,
and
make
incision
through
it
,
and
apply
a
Caustick
.
The
Cure
may
be
performed
only
by
incision
,
but
the
Chirurgion
must
beware
that
the
Tunicle
,
which
holdeth
the
matter
be
not
broken
,
lest
some
part
of
the
humor
be
left
,
to
the
hinderance
of
his
operation
.
CHAP.
X.
Of
Melancholly
Tumors
.
THe
true
and
Legitimate
Scirrhus
is
a
Tumor
hard
,
without
pain
,
yet
sensible
.
The
antecedent
cause
is
Melancholy
,
abounding
in
the
body
;
the
conjoyned
cause
is
the
humor
fixed
in
the
part
.
The
first
is
known
by
the
Melancholly
constitution
of
the
Patient
;
a
diet
and
course
of
life
,
which
is
apt
to
breed
Melancholly
.
The
second
,
viz.
the
conjoyned
cause
is
known
by
a
Tumor
hard
and
scarce
yeilding
to
the
touch
,
in
colour
between
red
and
black
,
of
dull
sense
.
These
Tumors
if
they
be
timely
and
carefully
dealt
with
,
may
be
cured
by
resolution
:
Sometimes
they
become
indurate
,
and
somtimes
they
degenerate
into
a
Cancer
.
Let
the
Patient
live
in
a
Temperate
aire
,
let
him
use
moderate
exercise
,
and
avoid
excessive
affections
and
passions
of
the
mind
,
let
his
body
be
kept
soluble
,
and
let
his
meat
be
such
as
is
of
good
nourishment
,
and
easie
digesture
,
and
let
him
therein
be
moderate
.
Let
the
Melancholly
humors
be
prepared
by
Juleps
made
of
the
syrups
of
Fumitory
,
Borrage
,
Buglose
Endive
,
Succory
,
Rubarb
,
Harts-tongue
,
Epithymum
,
and
Vinegar
,
with
their
distilled
waters
.
This
Apozem
is
very
effectuall
.
Take
the
root
and
leaves
of
Sorrell
,
Borrage
,
Buglosse
,
and
Fumitory
,
the
leaves
of
Maidenhaire
,
Succory
,
Endive
,
Dandelion
,
and
Hops
,
of
each
one
handfull
;
Balm
,
half
a
handfull
,
the
four
great
cold
seeds
beaten
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
the
seed
of
Purslane
two
drachm
;
Anise
and
Fenell
,
of
each
one
drachm
,
Raisons
of
the
Sun
stoned
six
drachms
,
Polypody
,
one
ounce
;
Senna
one
ounce
and
an
half
;
Time
and
Epithymum
,
of
each
two
drachms
;
the
Flowers
of
Violets
,
Borrage
,
and
Buglosse
,
of
each
one
pugill
,
make
a
decoction
,
in
two
pound
of
which
dissolve
the
juice
of
Odoriferous
Apples
,
and
of
Buglosse
,
of
each
four
ounces
,
boyle
it
againe
to
a
pint
and
an
half
,
then
sweeten
it
with
Sugar
,
as
much
as
is
convenient
:
Clarifie
it
,
then
Aromatize
it
with
the
Powder
,
Diamargariton
Frigidum
,
and
Diatrโโฆaganthum
Frigidum
,
of
each
one
drachm
;
make
an
Apozem
for
four
Doses
.
The
humor
prepared
,
purge
it
with
such
things
as
purge
Melancholly
;
these
simples
are
proper
;
Sena
,
Polypodium
,
Epithemum
,
Fumitory
,
Cassia
,
Lapis
Lazuli
,
and
Mitabolans
,
black
Hellebore
,
and
such
like
.
Look
for
compound
Melancholly
Purgers
in
the
next
book
.
The
conjoyned
humor
must
be
dealt
with
by
such
things
as
soften
,
seperate
,
and
discusse
,
as
the
grease
tryed
out
of
flank
Wooll
,
Butter
,
the
oyle
of
Almonds
,
Camomel
,
Dill
,
Lillyes
,
&c
:
the
fat
of
a
Cock
,
a
Duck
,
Goose
,
Fox
,
Bear
,
Lyon
,
Sow
,
Calfe
,
Stag
,
Eagle
,
Vulture
,
Bee-Glew
,
Wax
,
fat
Figgs
,
Marsh
and
Common
Mallows
,
Lillyes
,
Branck
ursine
.
Ammmoniacum
,
Bdellium
,
Galbanum
,
Styrax
,
Tarr
,
Rozin
,
and
such
like
,
of
which
you
may
make
unguents
and
plaisters
.
This
plaister
of
Calmeteus
is
of
great
virtue
.
Take
of
fat
Figgs
,
in
Number
twelve
,
boyle
and
stamp
them
,
Ammoniacum
,
Bdellium
,
Galbanum
,
dissolved
in
Vinegar
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
Liquid
Styran
,
one
ounce
,
the
Musilage
of
Maโsh-Mallow
roots
,
of
the
seed
of
Flax
,
and
Fenugreck
,
of
each
two
ounces
,
Oesipus
and
fresh
Butter
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
oyle
of
Lillyes
three
ounces
,
with
Wax
as
much
as
sufficeth
;
make
a
Plaister
.
A
Cancer
is
a
hard
,
unequall
,
round
,
and
venemous
Tumor
;
of
a
black
colour
,
hoe
and
painfull
:
it
is
called
in
Greek
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
and
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
ใโใ
,
it
hath
this
name
for
these
reasons
,
first
because
the
veins
about
it
,
filled
with
Melancholly
blood
,
are
stretched
out
like
unto
the
feet
of
the
Crab
fish
.
Secondly
,
because
it
is
much
like
in
colour
to
a
Crab
;
and
lastly
some
will
have
its
name
to
be
taken
from
its
sticking
quality
,
that
it
can
scarcely
be
pulled
away
,
as
the
Sea-Crab
doth
,
which
obstinately
sticketh
to
the
place
,
on
which
it
layeth
hold
.
The
cause
is
thick
and
Melancholly
juice
contained
in
the
part
,
and
appeareth
with
a
hard
,
resisting
,
unequall
,
swartish
or
brown
Tumor
;
round
about
it
the
veins
are
swelled
,
and
exalted
:
about
it
there
is
somtimes
suddaine
pricking
,
but
for
the
most
part
it
is
of
dull
sense
.
The
thicker
and
blacker
the
humor
is
,
so
much
the
wโโฆse
is
the
effect
,
this
disease
happeneth
to
any
part
of
the
body
,
but
more
especially
about
the
face
,
Eares
,
Lips
,
Womens
breast
,
who
have
wanted
their
naturall
purgation
:
and
it
happens
to
men
,
who
were
wont
to
have
Hemorrhoicall
purging
,
and
have
lost
it
.
By
reason
of
the
thicknesse
and
stubbornnesse
of
the
humor
,
it
is
seldom
cured
,
but
rather
turneth
to
an
Ulcerate
Cancer
.
Those
Cancers
only
that
are
upon
the
extreame
parts
of
the
body
receive
curation
:
but
if
they
are
deeply
lodged
,
they
admitt
not
of
cure
:
a
Cancer
that
is
confirmed
cannot
be
cured
unlesse
it
be
rooted
up
,
by
incision
or
burning
,
Order
your
Patient
,
as
before
in
respect
of
diet
,
and
prepare
and
purge
the
Melancholly
humor
as
before
is
taught
:
in
this
case
let
purges
be
very
gentle
and
often
reiterated
.
Then
give
medicines
which
have
a
faculty
to
consume
and
dry
up
the
matter
:
This
Electuary
of
Antonius
Montaguana
is
good
.
Take
of
the
powder
of
Sea
or
River
Crabs
drowned
in
Milk
,
and
dried
in
an
Oven
,
of
each
four
ounces
,
the
powder
of
Frogs
,
Snailes
,
and
Hedg-Hogs
,
of
each
one
ounce
,
the
rind
of
Citrons
preserved
,
two
ounces
;
the
shaving
of
Ivory
,
and
the
bone
of
a
Stages
Heart
,
of
each
three
drachms
.
Xylobalsamum
,
and
wood
of
Aloes
,
Sanders
,
Corall
,
and
the
powder
of
Steel
prepared
,
of
each
two
drachms
;
the
seed
of
Sorrell
and
Citrons
,
the
powder
of
Carduus
,
Scordium
,
and
Ceterach
,
of
each
one
drachm
,
Amber
and
Musk
,
of
each
two
graines
,
the
conserve
of
Borrage
,
Buglosse
,
Sorrell
,
and
Sowthistles
,
of
each
two
drachms
,
with
the
simple
sirrup
of
Apples
as
much
as
sufficeth
;
make
an
Electuary
,
the
dose
is
the
quantity
of
a
Chesnut
,
three
houres
before
meat
.
Then
apply
such
medicines
to
the
part
,
that
may
scatter
the
humor
contained
,
and
strengthen
the
part
against
farther
defluxion
:
These
simples
are
very
assistant
in
this
case
:
Nightshade
,
Ceterach
,
Agrimony
,
St.
Johns
wort
Clery
,
the
juyce
of
Coriander
,
the
flesh
of
Cocks
,
Snailes
,
River-Crabs
,
Frogs
,
the
dung
of
a
man
,
burnt
and
washed
lead
,
oyle
of
Frogs
,
oyle
of
sulphur
and
such
like
,
you
may
make
a
compound
oyntment
thus
.
Take
of
Bolearmenick
and
Terra
Sigillata
of
each
one
ounce
,
of
Lapis
Ealaminaris
,
and
washed
Ceruse
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
,
Tutty
and
Marchasite
prepared
,
of
each
three
drachms
,
the
powder
of
Frogs
and
Snailes
dryed
in
an
Oven
,
of
each
three
drachms
:
Litharge
of
Gold
two
drachms
,
oyle
of
Roses
three
ounces
,
oyle
of
Frogs
one
ounce
and
halfโ
,
Vinegar
two
ounces
,
the
white
of
two
Eggs
,
Wax
sufficient
,
let
them
be
well
beaten
in
a
Leaden
Morter
,
and
brought
into
an
Unguent
.
Whilst
you
purge
,
apply
such
things
as
principally
repell
or
beat
back
;
in
the
augmentation
you
must
beat
back
and
discusse
,
in
the
declination
discusse
only
,
and
all
the
while
let
the
Patient
be
nourished
with
Cordialls
,
to
defend
the
Heart

,
and
all
the
principall
parts

stubborn
Enemy

Os
ulcers
.
An
Ulcer
is
a
solution
of
continuity
in
the
flesh
,
containing
Sanies
and
Pus
.
The
antecedent
causes
is
Bloud
,
Choler
,
Flegm
,
Melancholy
thereto
flowing
,
as
hath
been
said
of
Tumors
;
the
joyned
cause
is
distemperature
,
pain
,
tumor
,
contusion
,
or
such
like
,
stirred
up
by
antecedent
causes
:
Of
this
cemeth
matter
either
good
or
bad
;
that
which
is
good
is
of
a
mean
substance
,
between
thin
and
thick
,
white
light
equal
,
and
not
stinking
:
that
which
is
bad
is
thin
,
glewy
,
much
in
quantity
,
swarrish
,
black
,
pale
,
stinking
.
If
the
distemperature
of
the
Ulcer
be
hot
,
it
is
known
by
heat
,
redness
,
and
relief
by
cold
things
.
In
a
cold
distemperature
,
there
is
not
so
much
rednesse
,
and
it
is
cased
by
hot
things
.
Whether
the
distemperature
be
moist
or
dry
,
the
eye
will
discover
.
The
cure
of
an
Ulcer
simply
considered
,
must
be
performed
by
Medicines
which
have
a
digestive
,
mundificative
,
incarnative
,
and
cicatricing
quality
:
of
which
sort
,
I
have
alieady
treated
in
the
cure
of
Wounds
.
I
shall
onely
now
briefly
treat
of
the
Distempers
,
Adjuncts
and
Accidents
of
Ulcers
.
First
,
let
the
symptome
be
removed
:
if
it
be
hot
,
consider
whether
it
be
with
matter
,
or
without
;
if
with
matter
,
whether
it
be
Sanguine
,
or
Cholerick
.
If
it
be
a
Sanguine
Distemper
,
let
bloud
,
observe
a
slender
and
cooling
.
Diet
and
Medicines
.
If
the
matter
be
Cholerick
purge
Choller
,
observe
a
cooling
Diet
,
and
use
cool
Medicines
.
If
there
be
a
hot
distemperature
without
matter
,
neither
purge
nor
bleed
,
but
use
cooling
Medicines
;
as
Unguentum
Album
,
Diapompholigos
,
Rubrum
,
Camphora
,
Ex
Plumbo
,
and
Ex
Cerussa
,
and
such
others
.
Also
,
Rose-Water
,
the
Juyce
or
Water
of
Nightshade
,
Housleek
,
Plantane
,
and
such
like
.
If
the
Distemperature
be
cold
,
purge
Flegme
if
it
abound
,
and
use
Diet
and
Medicines
,
which
doth
heat
and
dry
inwardly
:
Outwardly
apply
warming
Ointments
;
Unguentum
de
Althea
,
or
Unguentum
Citrinum
:
wash
it
with
warm
wine
,
or
the
decoction
of
Wormwood
,
Mint
,
Hysop
,
Calamint
,
Origan
,
Rosemary
,
Peny-royal
,
and
such
like
.
If
the
Ulcer
be
too
moist
,
dry
it
with
Unguentun
Pompholigos
,
de
Plumbo
,
de
Cerussa
,
de
gratia
dei
,
de
Calce
.
If
it
be
too
dry
,
let
his
Diet
and
Medicines
be
moystening
;
as
Basilicon
de
Pice
,
Diachylon
,
&c.
Having
removed
the
Distemperature
,
go
on
gradually
to
the
Cure
;
if
the
matter
be
crude
digest
,
having
digested
it
,
mundifie
it
;
having
so
done
,
in
carnate
it
:
and
lastly
,
cicatrise
it
.
If
a
Tumor
doth
accompany
the
Ulcer
,
you
may
from
the
Chapters
asoregoing
,
be
able
to
judge
what
the
Humour
is
,
which
is
the
cause
thereof
.
You
must
evacuate
it
by
bloud-letting
,
purging
,
thin
and
cooling
Diet
and
Medicines
:
The
Chapters
aforegoing
will
inform
you
,
whether
it
be
drawn
thither
by
the
part
if
self
,
or
sent
from
other
parts
,
or
from
the
whole
body
:
Nor
you
need
not
go
any
farther
,
nor
I
trouble
my self
to
prescribe
Medicines
,
to
repel
and
discuss
the
Tumors
,
the
aforenamed
Chapters
being
sufficiently
furnished
.
A
contused
Ulcer
must
be
nourished
with
Medicines
moistening
and
ingendring
good
matter
,
and
the
Cure
may
be
performed
by
the
means
prescribed
for
the
Cure
of
a
contused
Wound
.
If
the
Ulcer
be
accompanied
with
proud
flesh
,
it
must
be
taken
off
by
an
Incision
Knife
,
Cautery
,
or
hot
Scissers
,
&c.
or
by
cotrosive
Medicines
:
the
gentler
sort
are
Burnt
Allum
,
Hermodactyls
with
Tartar
,
Date
Stones
burnt
,
Aqua
vitae
with
Sulphur
,
Unguentum
Apostolorum
,
Nettle-seed
,
the
Flower
of
Brass
,
Burnt
Brass
,
Serpentaria
,
the
Root
of
Asphodels
,
&c.
Of
a
stronger
sort
are
these
,
the
Powder
of
Mercury
,
Unguentum
Aegyptiacum
,
or
Apostolorum
,
with
Natural
Verdegrease
.
Of
the
stronger
sort
are
,
Quicklime
,
Red
Vitriol
,
Burnt
Vitriol
,
Mercury
sublimate
:
Of
these
may
many
Compounds
be
made
,
which
for
brevity
sake
I
omit
.
If
the
Lips
of
the
Ulcer
be
hard
,
soften
it
with
mollifying
Medicines
,
made
of
the
fat
of
a
Goose
,
Hen
,
Duck
,
Lion
,
Bear
,
Calf
,
Oxe
,
or
the
like
;
the
Oyl
of
Lillies
,
Sweet
Almonds
,
Earth-Worms
,
Foxes
,
Unguentum
Basilicon
,
Diachilon
,
and
Emplastrum
de
Mucilaginibus
.
If
it
be
so
hard
that
it
will
not
yield
to
Medicine
,
make
use
of
In
cision
,
Cautery
,
or
of
the
aforenamed
corrosive
Medicines
.
If
the
Bone
be
defiled
by
an
Ulcer
,
take
it
off
with
a
Scaling
Instrument
,
or
an
hot
Iron
:
after
you
have
loosed
the
Scale
,
the
first
three
days
apply
Oyl
of
Roses
,
and
the
White
of
an
Egg
warm
:
the
next
three
days
,
the
yolk
of
an
Egg
,
and
Oyl
of
Roses
;
after
that
with
Butter
and
Hony
.
If
the
Bone
lie
so
deep
,
that
you
cannot
apply
your
hot
Iron
,
inject
this
Water
:
Take
of
White
Wine
one
pound
and
an
half
,
the
distilled
Waters
of
Plantane
,
and
Roses
,
of
each
one
pound
;
Mercury
sublimate
three
drachms
,
Bolearmenick
half
an
ounce
,
Burnt
Allum
one
ounce
and
an
half
,
white
Vitriol
,
and
Borax
,
of
each
half
an
ounce
,
White
Sugar
two
ounces
,
Maslick
,
Sarcocol
,
of
each
one
ounce
and
an
half
;
Powder
what
is
to
be
powdered
;
boil
it
to
the
consumption
of
half
,
then
filter
it
,
and
add
of
the
best
Aqua
Vitae
one
pound
,
and
reserve
it
to
your
use
.
It
is
good
also
to
lay
this
following
Powder
to
the
putrified
Bone
:
Take
of
round
Birthwort
,
and
the
Bark
of
the
Pine-tree
,
of
each
three
drachms
:
of
the
Root
of
Hegs
Fennel
,
and
Reeds
,
of
each
two
drachms
;
of
Agarick
,
and
Tartar
,
of
each
one
drachm
and
an
half
;
Eupborbium
one
drachm
;
make

lay
it
upon
the
putrified
Bone
,
or
mixe
it
with
Honey
,
or
Aegyptiacum

If
Worms
breed
in
the
Ulcer
,
take
away
the
humidity
and
putrefaction
whereof
they
are
ingendred
;
kill
the
Worms
with
the
Juyces
,
or
Decoction
of
Wornewood
,
Centory
,
Eupatorium
,
Wormwood
,
and
such
like

bitter
Hearbs

Rules
for
Vomiting
and
Purging
.
THE
first
thing
herein
confiderable
,
is
the
matter
offending
;
what
part
of
the
body
is
afflicted
,
and
which
is
the
best
way
to
evacuate
the
peccant
humour
.
The
matter
offending
is
either
Flegm
,
Water
,
Choller
,
or
Melancholy
.
Purging
Simples
work
gently
or
strongly
,
those
that
work
gently
onely
,
are
to
be
given
to
weak
Bodies
;
the
strongest
,
to
stronger
persons
.
Be
well
advised
of
the
offending
humour
before
you
purge
,
least
instead
of
helping
,
you
weaken
Nature
.
Before
you
take
a
purge
,
let
the
Humours
be
prepared
by
some
Medicines
proper
for
the
purpose
,
especially
if
Flegm
or
Melancholy
be
the
humour
you
would
purge
.
Prepare
the
body
before
with
Medicines
,
that
are
attenuating
and
cutting
,
and
let
your
Purge
be
made
up
with
it
.
The
next
Book
will
furnish
you
with
variety
of
altering
and
preparing
Medicines
.
It
is
a
matter
of
consequence
to
consider
what
part
of
the
body
is
afflicted
,
and
to
form
your
Purges
accordingly
.
If
the
remote
parts
of
the
body
be
afflicted
;
as
the
Head
,
Arms
,
Feet
,
and
the
like
,
let
your
Purge
be
made
up
into
a
hard
form
as
Pills
;
that
by
their
long
stay
in
the
body
,
they
may
be
the
better
able
to
draw
the
humours
from
those
parts
.
If
the
oftending
humour
lye
in
the
Bowels
,
or
adjacent
parts
,
use
liquid
Medicines
:
and
in
all
these
look
not
upon
the
multitude
of
Ejections
,
but
of
the
matter
ejected
.
If
the
humours
lye
in
the
Tunicle
of
the
Stomach
,
a
Vomit
is
necessary
,
and
in
many
cases
more
it
is
a
good
Revulsion
;
but
take
them
not
without
advice
from
an
able
Physitian
.
If
the
Purge
work
not
at
all
,
give
warm
Broath
,
and
Posset
Drink
,
and
if
the
Purge
were
strong
,
give
a
Clister
.
If
it
work
too
stronโly
,
which
is
worse
:
give
such
things
as
make
the
Bowels
slippery
for
Ejection
,
as
the
Oyl
of
Almonds
,
which
is
good
,
if
the
mouths
of
the
Veins
be
opened
,
or
if
there
happen
excoriation
,
for
the
same
purpose
,
Quince-seeds
,
and
Mallows
,
boiled
in
milk
,
is
good
;
and
Gum
Traganth
dissolved
in
water
,
or
Milk
;
the
Syrup
,
or
Marinalade
of
Quinces
have
the
like
virtue
.
If
Vomiting
hold
too
long
,
give
a
draught
of
Milk
,
with
a
little
Mastich
therein
;
and
lay
to
the
Stomach
Emplastrum
,
รจ
Crusta
Panss
.
If
either
Vomit
or
Purge
work
too
churlishly
,
some
give
a
Pill
of
Laudanum
,
and
with
good
success
.
Anoint
the
Stomach
and
Belly
with
Oyl
of
Roscs
,
and
lay
on
it
the
Powder
of
Mastich
,
of
Galls
,
and
Red-Roso
leaves
.
Chymical
Medicines
,
if
they
be
rightly
prepared
,
and
administred
with
care
and
judgment
,
are
the
best
,
for
they
stay
but
a
little
while
in
the
body
,
and
do
not
bind
afterwards
,
because
the
Terrene
part
is
taken
away
.
If
the
Humour
be
tough
,
it
is
not
easily
carryed
away
;
therefore
in
such
cases
purge
gently
and
often
.
The
Dose
ought
to
be
regulated
by
an
able
Brain
:
In
the
next
Book
I
shall
give
you
the
Faculties
and
Dose
of
most
of
the
Medicines
(
in
use
)
amongst
us
.
For
the
Times
and
Seasons
of
purging
,
in
respect
of
the
motion
of
the
Moon
and
Stars
,
I
have
given
you
a
few
general
Rules
at
the
latter
end
of
my
Almanack
for
the
Year
,
1659.
to
which
I
refer
you
