The
first
part
containeth
certain
Directions
necessary
to
be
observed
by
the
Chirurgeon
in
his
fitting
of
himself
out
for
the
Sea
.
The
First
Direction
.
WOuld
you
be
a
Sea
Chirurgeon
;
Then
it
is
necessary
you
should
understand
,
first
,
how
to
fit
your self
out
for
the
Sea
,
in
order
to
which
,
you
are
first
to
consider
what
those
Accidents
and
Distempers
are
,
that
are
most
incident
to
the
Sea
,
that
you
may
provide
Medicines
and
Instruments
proper
for
them
.
They
are
these
that
follow
,
All
manner
of
Wounds
,
especially
by
Gunshot
,
Bruises
or
Contusions
both
outward
and
inward
;
Spreins
,
Dislocations
,
and
Ruptures
,
Scalding
and
Burning
,
especially
with
Pouder
;
Pains
,
Aches
,
and
Numbness
of
Limbs
,
Tumours
,
Ulcers
,
and
Gangrenes
,
Ophalmias
,
Squinzys
,
Hemorrhage
at
the
Nose
,
Tooth-ach
,
Piles
,
Procedentia
Ani.
And
then
inwardly
:
The
Scurvy
,
Fevers
and
Agues
;
Fluxes
,
Cholera
,
Gripes
and
Cholick
,
Surfeits
,
Colds
,
Catarrhs
,
Rhumes
,
Plurisie
,
Strangury
,
and
Gravel
;
Worms
,
Costiveness
.
Now
you
must
understand
that
there
be
several
Diseases
that
are
very
rarely
cured
at
Land
,
and
are
not
expected
to
be
cured
at
Sea
;
as
Consumption
,
Dropsie
,
Gout
,
Evil
,
Palsie
,
Epilepsie
,
and
others
;
and
several
Chirurgical
Operations
that
are
not
expected
to
be
performed
at
Sea
,
as
Cutting
for
the
Stone
,
Couching
Cataracts
,
Extirpating
Wens
,
and
the
like
.
The
former
Accidents
and
Distempers
you
are
absolutely
obliged
to
provide
for
,
but
these
latter
not
:
However
,
if
you
think
you
can
do
any
good
in
these
deplorable
Diseases
,
with
the
Medicines
or
Instruments
you
have
for
the
other
,
you
may
use
your
endeavours
,
and
in
so
doing
,
you
will
do
well
.
The
Second
Direction
.
Secondly
,
To
know
what
those
Medicines
and
Instruments
are
,
that
are
proper
to
be
carried
for
the
Cure
of
those
Accidents
and
Diseases
before
enumerated
,
your
way
is
to
turn
over
this
Book
,
and
see
what
Medicines
and
Instruments
are
here
appointed
,
and
what
I
have
used
in
every
Accident
and
Disease
:
Take
a
Catalogue
of
them
,
the
which
digest
into
an
invoice
to
fit
by
;
for
I
will
assure
you
that
you
will
here
find
the
best
of
Medicines
,
and
Balsams
that
are
at
this
day
known
or
Practised
withal
;
and
every
needful
Instrument
you
will
find
named
,
and
the
use
of
it
shewed
occasionally
in
the
Book
:
Only
this
observe
,
that
whereas
I
in
some
places
name
many
things
that
are
proper
for
the
same
Distemper
,
and
yet
any
one
of
them
will
cure
it
:
That
that
is
for
your
full
knowledge
,
and
least
you
may
perchance
have
one
of
them
,
and
not
the
other
.
In
this
case
you
may
chuse
which
of
them
you
believe
to
be
the
best
,
and
not
charge
your self
with
more
,
only
this
variety
you
must
necessarily
use
:
If
a
man
cannot
take
a
Bolus
,
you
must
have
Pills
that
will
perform
the
same
Office
;
or
if
he
cannot
take
Pills
,
you
must
have
a
Potion
to
execute
the
same
intention
;
for
some
men
cannot
take
one
manner
of
Medicament
that
can
take
another
;
and
a
Patient
must
not
be
suffered
to
miscarry
because
he
cannot
take
only
one
sort
of
Medicine
.
To
make
it
more
plain
to
you
:
There
are
the
best
of
Diaphoretiqnes
,
in
the
World
,
spoken
of
in
this
Book
for
the
reasons
above-mentioned
,
as
Mitherid
.
Thriac
.
Ven.
Tinctura
Gummi
,
Guaci
,
and
others
,
all
of
them
extraordinary
proper
;
but
then
there
is
only
Thriac
Lond
Nova
,
that
executes
the
Office
of
them
all
,
and
may
be
used
in
all
Diseases
wherein
Sweating
is
required
;
only
it
is
an
Electuary
,
and
it
is
possible
some
cannot
take
an
Electuary
(
although
indeed
this
may
be
taken
in
Wine
)
then
you
should
have
Aqu.
Thriac
,
or
the
like
to
drink
.
And
this
further
,
If
your self
has
had
the
experience
of
any
Medicine
(
that
you
do
not
see
named
in
this
Book
,
)
for
the
cure
of
any
Disease
,
you
may
take
that
Medicine
,
and
leave
out
which
of
mine
you
think
you
can
best
spare
:
For
in
the
forming
of
your
invoyce
you
must
consider
that
you
have
no
more
room
than
only
a
Chirurgery
Chest
,
and
Drug
Chest
to
contain
all
your
things
;
therefore
you
are
not
to
carry
greater
variety
than
of
necessity
you
must
.
And
let
those
be
of
the
most
pertinent
,
and
universal
tendency
,
one
of
which
is
proper
for
the
Cure
of
many
Diseases
.
As
indeed
,
what
need
a
Sea
Chirurgeon
to
incumber
his
Chest
with
Pil
aurae
,
faetidae
,
or
several
others
,
whilst
Pil
Rudij
of
it self
will
do
all
that
they
can
do
.
So
among
Chymical
Medicaments
what
need
is
there
for
a
Sea
Chirurgeon
to
take
Aurum
Potabile
,
Precipitatus
Aurius
:
or
Mana
Mercurij
.
When
Bezoarticum
solare
Schroderi
,
will
do
as
much
as
them
all
,
in
any
disaese
they
are
appropriated
unto
.
You
are
therefore
I
say
to
take
the
most
Catholick
,
but
no
more
of
a
sort
,
than
necessity
enjoyns
you
.
The
Third
Direction
.
Thirdly
,
In
forming
your
invoyce
,
you
must
have
a
care
in
regulating
your
quantity
of
each
Medicine
,
that
you
may
carry
what
is
sufficient
,
but
not
superfluous
.
To
do
this
,
you
must
first
consult
what
your
Complement
of
men
are
,
and
Secondly
,
The
length
of
your
intended
Voyage
:
At
least
wayes
how
long
it
will
be
ere
you
may
expect
a
recrute
.
For
reason
tells
,
that
you
must
fit
a
greater
quantity
of
each
Medicament
for
a
greater
quantity
of
men
,
than
for
a
lesser
:
and
more
of
every
Medicament
for
a
long
Voyage
than
for
a
short
.
The
Fourth
Direction
.
Fourthly
,
Consider
the
Chances
and
Maladies
that
may
be
expected
in
that
expedition
you
are
upon
,
or
Climate
you
are
bound
unto
;
that
you
may
in
a
special
manner
furnish
your self
with
quantities
,
for
those
expectations
;
as
if
you
go
into
the
Wars
,
you
must
expect
wounds
and
broken
Bones
,
then
you
must
carry
more
quantity
of
Vulneraries
,
than
if
you
were
not
bound
into
the
Wars
.
So
as
to
the
Climate
:
If
you
are
bound
to
Newfound
Land
,
you
may
expect
the
Scurvy
,
therefore
provide
good
quantities
of
Scorbuticks
;
more
than
if
you
were
to
go
a
Straights
Voyage
:
But
again
,
if
you
were
to
go
to
Scanderoon
,
there
is
very
often
malignant
Fevers
and
Fluxes
,
but
seldom
the
Scurvy
:
Therefore
you
must
now
put
up
greater
quantities
of
Antefebritiques
,
then
of
Scorbutiques
.
I
say
,
although
you
must
carry
sufficient
quantities
of
Medicines
proper
for
every
Accident
and
Ailment
that
doth
usually
befall
at
Sea
,
yet
in
a
special
manner
you
must
provide
for
the
Accidents
and
Distempers
that
may
be
expected
in
the
Voyage
,
or
expedition
you
are
now
upon
.
The
Fifth
Direction
.
Fifthly
,
You
would
do
well
to
consider
that
some
Medicines
are
expended
at
Sea
faster
than
others
,
and
some
are
given
in
greater
Doses
than
others
,
and
therefore
you
must
not
carry
the
like
quantity
of
the
one
as
of
the
other
.
There
is
more
of
Basilicon
used
,
than
of
Apostolorum
;
and
more
of
Diapalma
,
than
of
Ad
Herniam
,
and
so
the
dose
of
Electum
Lenitivum
is
from
ʒ
vi
ad
xij
,
whereas
that
of
Cario
costinum
,
is
but
from
ʒ
ij
ad
iij
,
therefore
it
is
not
reasonable
that
you
should
take
as
much
of
the
one
of
these
Medicines
,
as
of
the
other
;
except
it
be
because
that
of
the
lesse
Dose
may
be
more
in
use
than
the
other
,
and
in
that
Case
it
may
be
equalized
.
The
Sixth
Direction
.
Sixthly
I
would
advise
you
if
you
take
greater
quantities
of
those
things
,
that
are
least
in
use
,
and
smallest
in
Dose
,
let
them
be
such
as
will
keep
good
at
Sea
for
a
long
time
;
for
then
't
is
true
you
may
have
no
great
loss
in
them
;
but
if
they
be
such
as
will
decay
in
a
short
time
,
then
you
had
best
be
advised
as
to
your
Quantities
,
an
Ounce
of
Stibium
will
be
as
good
at
seven
years
end
,
as
it
was
the
first
day
;
but
your
Rubarb
at
4
years
old
will
have
the
worm
;
therefore
when
you
fit
,
mind
such
things
as
these
,
and
take
quantities
accordingly
.
The
Seventh
Direction
.
Seventhly
,
To
save
charge
and
incumbrance
,
let
me
advise
you
to
inform
your self
what
Medicines
or
Drugs
are
plenty
in
the
Country
where
you
are
going
,
that
you
may
carry
with
you
out
of
England
as
much
of
those
Medicines
or
Drugs
only
as
you
Judge
will
serve
you
thither
.
Why
should
a
man
carry
any
quantity
of
Theriaca
Andromica
to
Venice
,
when
as
that
is
the
place
where
it
is
made
,
and
either
for
Truck
,
or
Money
,
you
may
have
the
best
,
and
best
cheap
:
Or
,
Why
Cena
to
Alexandria
in
Egypt
,
and
I
have
seen
it
sold
there
,
and
that
of
the
best
in
the
World
,
for
a
quarter
of
the
money
that
we
buy
it
at
home
.
The
like
I
say
of
Rubarb
and
Scamony
at
Ptolemais
in
Palestine
.
So
that
if
a
man
be
bound
into
any
part
of
Turky
,
he
need
carry
only
as
much
of
these
things
as
will
serve
him
thither
,
and
no
more
.
What
need
is
there
of
carrying
Spices
or
Gumms
to
the
Indies
,
or
Wine
,
Brandy
,
or
Recchee
to
France
,
Spain
,
Portugal
,
or
Italy
,
when
their
Ports
vend
those
Commodities
.
Therefore
in
your
fitting
mind
this
Direction
.
The
Eighth
Direction
.
Eighthly
,
If
you
are
bound
out
in
a
Merchant
man
to
any
place
that
is
known
to
be
sickly
,
you
would
do
well
to
put
the
Commander
in
mind
,
to
carry
in
the
Ship
some
fresh
and
necessary
provisions
,
least
men
should
be
sick
and
miscarry
for
want
of
it
;
for
it
is
not
all
the
Medicines
in
your
Chest
that
will
recover
men
,
without
fresh
and
wholesome
Diet.
If
you
go
any
Forraign
Voyage
,
or
into
the
Wars
in
a
Ship
of
the
Kings
,
you
have
these
things
provided
for
you
:
for
His
Majesty
graciously
allows
necessary
Provisions
for
sick
and
wounded
;
which
the
Chirurgeon
General
of
His
Majesties
Navy
,
with
care
and
discretion
puts
up
and
disposeth
of
to
each
Chirurgeon
,
according
to
the
Complement
of
men
the
Ship
carries
,
and
the
Voyages
he
is
a
going
;
which
is
a
great
comfort
and
refreshment
to
the
Men
,
and
an
ease
to
the
Chirurgeon
in
curing
them
.
The
Ninth
Direction
.
Now
as
to
the
Pounds
,
or
Ounces
of
each
individual
Medicine
that
you
should
carry
for
any
particular
Voyage
,
and
Complement
of
Men
;
If
it
be
in
a
Merchant
man
,
you
have
only
custom
to
guide
you
by
;
you
carry
what
quantities
you
know
others
have
done
and
have
found
sufficient
.
Therefore
I
'le
tell
you
,
that
for
my
own
part
when
I
have
gone
in
a
Ship
of
about
40
men
,
and
a
Voyage
supposed
12
or
14
Months
.
I
have
carried
of
Medicines
of
the
largest
Dose
,
and
most
frequent
use
,
lb
ij
of
each
,
and
of
the
rest
proportionably
.
However
I
impose
no
quantities
on
you
,
you
are
at
your
own
liberty
;
only
I
give
you
a
light
to
see
by
:
And
if
you
go
in
a
Man
of
War
,
your
quantities
are
judiciously
regulated
by
the
Governours
of
Chirurgeons
Hall
:
So
(
that
if
you
would
)
you
shall
not
,
take
less
quantities
than
they
judge
to
be
sufficient
.
Therefore
I
presume
not
to
advise
you
to
any
certain
quantities
,
but
refer
you
to
their
more
mature
Judgments
,
Only
to
ready
you
for
their
view
,
let
me
acquaint
you
,
that
when
I
my self
has
gone
out
in
a
Fourth
,
Third
,
or
Second
Rate
,
my
largest
Jarrs
and
Glasses
were
generally
upward
of
lb
iij
,
that
they
might
contain
lb
iij
compleat
,
and
yet
room
for
fermenting
Medicines
,
and
my
other
Medicines
have
been
proportion'd
accordingly
;
and
these
have
for
the
most
times
been
approved
of
as
good
moderate
quantities
.
And
this
farther
,
when
I
have
gone
in
a
fourth
rate
I
have
taken
as
great
quantities
,
as
when
in
a
second
;
for
you
must
consider
this
,
that
the
length
of
the
fourth
rates
Voyage
may
equalize
the
second
rates
great
complement
of
men
,
and
short
Voyage
,
for
usually
the
great
ships
are
not
out
above
six
or
seven
Months
,
but
the
lesser
a
much
longer
time
.
However
,
being
you
put
up
your
Medicines
before
they
come
to
view
them
,
't
is
your
wisest
way
to
take
no
less
quantities
than
you
know
others
have
taken
,
and
have
been
approved
of
as
sufficient
.
Otherwise
when
they
come
to
view
,
they
will
make
you
take
more
(
as
they
have
sometimes
done
by
me
in
the
like
case
)
and
that
will
create
you
a
double
trouble
.
I
only
give
you
this
light
,
that
you
may
be
in
a
competent
readiness
for
the
view
,
and
as
to
the
certain
quantities
you
must
submit
(
as
I
have
done
)
to
the
Governours
judgment
and
ordering
.
The
Tenth
Direction
.
Having
prepared
your
Invoyce
according
to
the
foregoing
Directions
,
you
are
now
to
begin
to
put
up
Medicines
.
And
here
let
me
advise
you
to
see
all
things
,
whether
they
be
good
.
'T
is
true
the
Governours
of
Chyrurgeons
Hall
do
throughly
inspect
the
medicines
that
go
into
the
Kings
Ships
,
and
will
not
suffer
any
thing
that
is
ill
to
pass
;
but
you
put
up
your
Medicines
whilst
they
are
not
there
.
Therefore
to
save
an
after
trouble
,
be
very
circumspect
as
to
what
you
take
.
For
so
it
is
,
that
in
many
Medicines
one
Apothecary
can
deceive
another
,
and
much
more
a
Sea
Chyrurgeon
,
whose
calling
it
is
not
to
make
all
his
own
Medicaments
.
However
although
't
is
impossible
for
you
to
know
whether
every
Ingredient
be
in
a
Compound
Medicine
that
the
Dispensatory
appoints
,
yet
by
the
sight
,
smell
,
taste
,
or
consistence
,
you
will
judge
within
a
little
more
or
less
,
(
if
you
make
it
your
business
to
understand
Medicines
)
whether
it
be
sound
,
or
Sophisticated
.
Besides
you
are
the
Person
that
must
stand
or
fall
by
the
repute
or
dis-repute
that
your
Medicines
acquire
,
therefore
it
behoves
your self
to
see
to
the
best
of
your
knowledge
that
what
Medicines
you
put
up
be
good
.
Especially
if
you
go
in
a
Merchant-man
where
you
have
no
view
upon
your
Chest
.
And
indeed
you
are
very
happy
if
you
meet
with
an
honest
Apothecary
or
Chymist
who
dispence
and
prepare
their
Medicines
faithfully
,
and
that
will
not
put
bad
things
upon
you
.
The
Eleventh
Direction
.
It
remaines
now
that
I
direct
you
to
take
such
care
in
putting
up
your
Medicines
,
that
they
may
be
preserved
good
as
long
as
possible
.
To
do
this
,
put
up
as
many
things
as
you
can
in
Jars
,
Glasses
and
Boxes
.
Let
every
thing
be
well
covered
that
the
Air
hurt
them
not
,
nor
that
they
spill
,
and
so
you
come
to
damage
.
See
that
your
Rhubarb
be
new
and
sound
,
and
that
the
worm
hath
not
got
into
it
(
as
it
will
certainly
do
at
four
years
old
)
let
it
be
wrapt
in
Cotton
,
and
kept
in
a
Box
dry
.
See
likewise
that
your
Liquid
Medicines
that
will
ferment
,
be
put
into
Jars
or
Glasses
that
will
hold
more
then
the
quantities
you
put
in
them
,
that
there
may
be
room
to
ferment
.
Let
not
such
Bottles
of
Syrups
be
Corked
,
but
covered
well
with
Leather
and
tied
hard
,
and
the
Cover
pricked
,
and
let
your
fermenting
Electuaries
be
often
stirred
down
.
Such
as
grow
dry
at
Sea
,
add
to
them
some
of
the
humid
ingredient
whereof
they
were
made
,
and
Honey
to
some
,
Sugar
to
others
,
and
Spirit
of
Wine
to
others
.
When
your
Mass
of
Pill
Rudii
grows
hard
,
temper
it
with
rectified
Spirit
of
Wine
by
the
warm
Fire
to
its
right
consistence
.
Other
Pills
,
as
Cochiae
,
or
Ruffi
,
strow
Cream
or
Tartar
on
the
Mass
,
and
it
will
preserve
them
in
their
due
consistence
.
Your
Rich
Confections
,
as
Alchermis
,
or
De
hyacinthis
will
quickly
dry
and
spoil
.
Therefore
carry
the
species
of
such
,
and
make
them
up
as
you
have
occasion
;
having
with
you
Syrupus
Lemonibus
,
and
others
for
that
purpose
.
Let
all
your
Jars
and
Glasses
both
great
and
small
be
square
,
and
not
round
,
that
they
may
stow
the
better
;
and
let
them
be
all
strong
double
Glasses
,
that
will
not
break
upon
a
slight
occasion
.
It
hath
been
accustomary
to
put
them
into
Bladders
,
as
well
to
save
what
is
in
them
,
(
if
any
one
should
chance
to
break
)
as
to
preserve
other
Medicines
from
being
spoiled
,
by
the
Oyles
or
Corosives
,
if
they
should
spill
,
but
good
double
Jars
and
Glasses
prevent
that
.
The
Twelfth
Direction
.
To
fit
the
Chirurgery
Chest
.
Now
for
the
greater
safety
of
your
Medicines
,
let
me
advise
you
,
not
to
have
drawing
Boxes
at
the
Ends
of
the
bottom
of
your
Chest
,
as
some
use
to
have
,
and
carry
their
Seeds
and
other
things
in
them
;
for
when
you
shall
need
any
thing
that
is
in
them
,
you
must
take
out
several
Medicines
that
stand
in
the
bottom
of
the
Chest
before
them
;
which
Pots
or
Glasses
will
be
in
danger
of
breaking
,
especially
if
there
goes
a
great
Sea
,
and
the
Ship
rouls
.
Some
Chyrurgeons
(
especially
in
small
Merchant-men
)
carry
their
Drugs
in
the
bottom
of
their
Chests
,
together
with
some
Medicines
,
which
is
altogether
inconvenient
(
if
you
can
avoid
it
)
for
there
must
be
a
preposterous
displacing
of
things
before
you
can
come
at
the
Medicine
you
would
have
,
therefore
if
I
am
worthy
to
advise
you
,
let
not
your
Drugs
be
in
your
Chyrurgery
Chest
;
but
have
Partitions
all
over
the
bottom
,
and
let
those
partitions
be
bigger
than
them
at
top
;
and
in
them
place
your
greatest
Jars
and
Glasses
(
and
especially
your
Oyles
and
Corrosive
Medicaments
,
that
if
they
should
spill
or
break
,
they
cannot
fall
on
others
to
indammage
them
)
.
Besides
in
one
of
those
partitions
,
you
may
place
four
of
such
small
square
Glasses
,
as
your
Oyles
of
Sulphur
or
Vitriol
are
put
in
,
if
you
wrap
them
with
Tow
,
and
place
them
decently
one
upon
another
.
Let
each
kind
of
Medicines
be
placed
in
Glasses
by
themselves
;
as
the
Syrups
in
one
Glass
,
the
Electuaries
in
another
;
and
so
of
the
Oyles
,
and
Unguents
,
or
Waters
;
with
every
Medicament
its
Lybel
upon
it
.
And
keep
account
in
your
Book
whereabout
each
Medicine
stands
,
that
you
may
either
go
or
send
for
the
Medicine
you
want
and
find
it
(
as
it
were
)
in
the
dark
.
Having
thus
fitted
the
bottom
of
your
Chest
,
there
is
usually
a
hanging
drawer
under
the
middle
of
the
top
partitions
,
where
some
Chyrurgions
use
to
keep
their
Instruments
;
Let
that
be
for
your
Emplasters
.
And
then
fall
in
hand
with
the
top
of
your
Chest
.
You
are
to
place
round
the
top
the
remainder
of
your
bigger
Jars
and
Glasses
,
because
they
are
the
bigger
partitions
:
And
as
in
the
bottom
,
so
here
,
let
each
kind
of
Medicines
be
in
their
peculiar
Glasses
and
writ
upon
.
And
in
the
partitions
of
your
top
Drawers
you
may
place
in
some
four
,
in
others
more
,
of
your
small
square
Glasses
and
Jars
;
as
four
ounces
,
two
ounces
,
and
ounces
;
and
every
thing
written
upon
,
and
account
taken
in
your
book
,
you
will
know
readily
where
to
find
each
Medicine
in
the
bottom
of
any
partition
,
although
its
Lybel
should
be
lost
,
and
let
your
box
of
small
Weights
and
Scales
be
fixed
to
the
inside
of
the
Lid
of
your
Chest
,
as
also
your
Electuary
and
Vnguent
Spatula's
,
and
Tyle
to
mix
Boluses
on
;
with
other
Necessaries
.
The
Thirteenth
Direction
.
For
fitting
the
Drug
Chest
.
Having
furnished
your
Chyrurgery
Chest
,
now
fall
in
hand
with
your
Drug
Chest
.
'T
is
usual
to
put
your
Sarrina's
,
Seeds
,
Roots
,
Herbs
,
Flowers
,
and
such
like
in
Papers
,
and
so
write
upon
them
;
but
do
you
put
these
papers
into
small
Canvas
Bags
,
each
bag
mark'd
with
a
peculiar
Mark.
Let
several
of
these
Papers
be
put
into
one
bag
;
as
,
the
several
papers
of
seeds
into
one
bag
,
the
herbs
into
another
,
the
roots
into
a
third
,
and
so
of
the
rest
.
Then
take
account
in
your
Book
what
is
in
each
bag
so
marked
,
and
you
will
easily
find
what
you
want
when
you
have
occasion
.
Let
the
things
be
in
bags
,
because
papers
break
in
rummaging
,
and
spill
about
the
bottom
of
the
Chest
,
mixing
one
thing
with
another
.
Here
your
Box
of
first
intentions
are
likewise
to
be
placed
;
(
viz.
)
your
dismembring
Pledgets
,
Buttons
and
Tents
,
Rowlers
,
Cross-bolsters
,
Linnen
,
Tow
,
Tape
,
Leather
,
Bladders
,
and
other
Necessaries
.
Be
sure
your
fine
Tow
be
put
up
in
a
bag
,
least
a
Candle
hap
to
catch
in
it
.
And
let
your
Restringent
Powder
be
there
likewise
with
the
rest
of
your
first
intentions
.
Your
box
of
large
Instruments
should
be
carried
there
likewise
,
because
there
is
nothing
in
that
Chest
but
what
is
dry
.
But
see
that
they
be
first
made
sharp
and
bright
by
your
Instrument-maker
,
and
let
them
be
often
looked
on
and
rubb'd
with
a
piece
of
dry
Cotton
,
least
they
should
speck
or
rust
.
The
Fourteenth
Direction
.
Now
for
as
much
as
every
Chyrurgeon
hath
not
seen
made
,
nor
used
the
first
intentions
,
I
'le
shew
you
how
to
make
them
now
,
and
how
to
use
them
elsewhere
.
Take
fine
Tow
,
and
form
round
Pledgits
smooth
and
even
,
and
of
a
reasonable
substance
.
about
the
breadth
of
the
end
of
stump
;
some
bigger
and
others
lesser
,
as
stumps
may
be
,
and
some
larger
than
any
stump
,
Let
them
lye
upon
a
smooth
board
,
a
then
beat
the
whites
of
Eggs
,
with
acetum
,
and
sprinkle
the
Pledgits
therewith
till
they
are
thorough
wet
.
Then
take
another
smooth
board
,
and
lay
upon
them
to
press
them
hard
;
after
,
take
off
the
upper
board
and
carry
them
into
a
Sun-shine
place
to
dry
;
and
when
they
are
thorowly
dry
put
them
up
in
your
box
for
use
.
Form
likewise
dismembering
Buttons
in
the
shape
of
a
large
Button
;
let
them
be
wet
likewise
in
the
same
Liquor
,
and
dryed
,
and
put
up
into
the
Box.
Make
Tents
also
of
all
sizes
,
whether
for
Musket
Shot
,
Pistol
Shot
,
Puncture
,
or
any
such
Wound
whatever
.
These
things
put
up
together
with
the
Restringent
Powder
,
are
called
our
first
intention
,
and
ought
to
be
ready
by
you
at
all
times
,
and
not
to
make
when
you
have
occasion
to
use
them
.
The
Fifteenth
Direction
.
Lastly
,
Being
fitted
in
all
things
according
to
these
Directions
,
and
having
your
Chests
viewed
,
you
are
to
get
them
with
your self
,
and
cruise
on
Board
,
and
see
them
placed
as
conveniently
as
possibly
you
can
,
to
be
got
at
;
and
in
a
dry
place
,
where
wet
may
not
come
at
them
to
spoil
either
your
Medicines
or
Instruments
,
and
let
them
be
so
lashed
that
they
may
not
overset
in
bad
Weather
by
the
rowling
of
the
Ship
.
Being
now
on
Board
,
and
yet
in
the
River
,
furnish
your
dressing
Box
(
that
is
a
box
with
six
or
eight
partitions
with
Pots
or
Glasses
of
Oyles
or
Balsams
,
and
Emplasters
,
ready
spread
for
present
occasion
)
which
box
you
must
every
morning
carry
to
the
Mast
between
Decks
,
to
dress
such
as
have
any
hurts
or
ailments
;
and
there
with
our
Mortar
we
usually
ring
,
that
such
as
have
occasion
may
hear
in
any
part
of
the
Ship
and
come
to
be
drest
.
Thus
you
are
compleatly
fitted
and
ready
for
any
thing
that
shall
happen
.
However
some
of
these
Directions
may
seem
of
smaller
importance
then
others
,
yet
the
least
are
necessary
,
and
to
be
heeded
;
for
by
the
non-observance
of
such
,
my self
has
sometimes
sustain'd
damage
and
trouble
,
which
by
the
regarding
of
them
you
may
avoid
.
But
I
know
you
would
be
at
greater
things
,
and
you
'l
meet
with
greater
anon

Second
BOOK

Teacheth
how
the
Chyrurgeon
ought
to
perform
his
Chyrurgical
Duty
being
at
Sea
.
CHAP.
I.
How
the
Chyrurgeon
should
behave
himself
on
an
Engagement
Day
.
I
'Le
Imagine
that
you
are
at
Sea
now
in
a
Man
of
War
,
and
in
sight
of
the
Enemy
;
and
all
men
are
clearing
their
respective
quarters
,
and
fitting
themselves
for
fight
;
at
what
time
you
,
as
you
are
Chyrurgeon
of
the
Ship
,
must
prepare
as
followeth
.
First
you
must
see
that
your
platform
be
laid
as
even
as
may
be
,
with
a
Sail
spread
upon
it
,
which
you
must
speak
to
the
Commander
to
order
.
In
a
Merchant-man
this
is
usually
in
the
Cable
teere
;
but
in
Men
of
Warr
it
is
generally
in
Hold
,
abaft
the
Mast
,
between
that
and
the
Bulk
head
of
the
Cockpit
from
side
to
side
.
On
this
platform
you
must
place
two
Chests
,
to
set
your
wounded
men
on
to
dress
them
,
one
for
your self
to
perform
the
greater
operation
on
,
and
the
other
for
your
mate
to
dress
slighter
wounds
on
.
You
are
likewise
to
have
by
you
two
Tubs
with
water
;
the
one
to
throw
amputated
Limbs
into
until
there
is
conveniency
to
heave
them
over-board
;
and
the
other
to
dip
your
dismembring
Bladders
in
,
or
to
wash
between
each
Operation
,
and
for
other
services
.
Let
your
Instruments
likewise
both
great
and
small
be
ready
by
you
on
the
Platform
.
And
your
first
intentions
must
not
now
be
to
seek
,
nor
must
any
one
necessary
now
be
missing
.
As
your
pulv

Ova
,
Oyles
for
Bruises
and
Burnings
;
Cordials
to
give
when
men
faint
;
Seer-clothes
ready
spread
(
for
now
all
fire
must
be
out
in
the
Ship
,
except
Candles
and
Matches
)
.
Let
good
store
of
the
largest
Candles
be
placed
decently
about
the
Platform
to
give
good
light
,
and
instead
of
fire
to
warm
your
Cear-clothes
,
or
heat
your
Oyles
,
as
you
have
occasion
;
and
be
sure
your
restrictives
be
ready
mixt
,
your
restrictivum
Com.
in
one
Bason
,
and
your
potential
Cautry
in
another
;
and
your
Aqua
stiptica
Vitrioli
in
a
third
,
that
they
may
not
be
to
fetch
,
or
mix
when
you
have
a
present
need
to
apply
them
.

restring
.
to
a
fit
consistence
.
By
this
time
I
'le
suppose
the
fight
is
begun
,
and
your
Ship
is
ingaged
,
and
wounded
men
begin
to
be
brought
down
:
And
first
one
,
who
to
save
his
Life
,
must
have
his
Limbs
amputated
.
You
see
part
of
the
Limb
carried
away
by
the
Shot
;
as
the
Hand
from
the
Arm
,
the
Foot
from
the
Leg
,
or
else
the
Bones
so
shattered
,
that
should
you
leave
it
on
,
there
were
no
hopes
of
healing
it
,
nor
of
saving
the
mans
life
.
This
indicates
amputation
,
and
it
is
speedily
to
be
done
,
for
't
is
no
time
now
for
you
to
pause
upon
it
;
your
main
design
is
to
save
the
mans
life
;
in
order
to
which
,
two
eminent
purpasses
immediately
present
:
The
one
to
take
of
the
Limb
,
for
if
that
should
stay
on
,
life
is
not
long
to
be
expected
,
the
other
is
to
stop
the
violence
of
bleeding
;
(
for
in
the
Blood
is
the
Life
)
and
if
that
be
not
done
,
the
man
will
immediately
dye
.
This
latter
purpose
you
are
first
to
put
in
execution
(
if
possible
)
for
't
is
sure
the
man
hath
bled
too
much
already
,
before
he
could
be
got
down
to
you
;
more
especially
if
in
a
three
Deckt
Ship
,
and
the
man
wounded
on
the
upper
Deck
.
Amputation
.
Set
the
man
down
immediately
on
your
Chest
,
and
let
your
assistants
hold
him
;
and
let
one
take
a
fast
gripe
with
his
hands
above
the
place
you
intend
to
amputate
,
drawing
up
the
Muscles
with
what
force
he
can
,
and
you
with
large
and
strong
tape
make
fast
and
hard
Ligature
,
to
restrain
the
bleeding
;
fetch
it
several
turns
about
,
and
let
it
be
about
two
inches
above
the
place
you
design
to
amputate
.
In
the
mean
time
let
a
drachm
of
Cordial
be
given
the
man
to
keep
up
his
Spirits
.
If
the
Operation
be
on
the
Leg
,
let
it
be
about
four
inches
below
the
Knee
;
but
if
in
the
Thigh
or
Arm
,
as
low
as
the
wound
will
permit
.
Together
with
your
Ligature
let
your
assistant
gripe
hard
,
and
another
hold
the
end
:
And
you
with
your
dismembring
Knife
divide
the
Flesh
or
Muscles
round
the
Bones
(
if
it
be
possible
)
at
two
even
strokes
.
You
l
now
hear
sad
schreeking
,
but
let
nothing
daunt
you
,
be
resolute
in
your
duty
,
and
incourage
your
Mates
.
The
Flesh
divided
,
let
your
assistant
draw
up
the
Muscles
as
tort
as
possible
,
and
let
him
that
holds
the
other
part
do
the
like
,
that
the
Bone
may
be
seen
,
and
with
your
Catling
divide
the
Vessels
between
the
bones
(
if
it
is
below
the
Elbow
or
Knee
)
and
remove
the
periosteum
,
that
nothing
may
hinder
the
saw
:
Then
take
off
the
Limb
at
as
few
stroaks
,
and
as
near
the
upper
part
as
possible
,
and
let
him
that
holds
the
end
of
the
Limb
have
a
care
that
he
breaks
not
the
Bone
,
before
the
Saw
is
quite
through
.
This
done
,
throw
it
in
to
your
Tub
of
water
,
at
the
side
of
the
Platform
,
till
ther
's
an
opportunity
to
heave
it
and
others
over-board
.
Some
after
this
make
actual
Cautry
on
the
ends
of
the
Vessels
,
(
and
indeed
it
were
a
good
way
were
a
man
on
shore
)
but
by
no
means
do
I
like
fire
on
a
Platform
in
time
of
Fight
;
for
I
remember
in
one
of
the
last
fights
we
had
with
the
Hollanders
,
there
came
a
shot
in
under
water
,
and
beat
down
my
Lighter
from
before
me
,
and
battered
things
on
the
Platform
.
And
if
such
a
shot
should
have
struck
a
fire
pan
there
it
would
have
hazarded
the
burning
of
the
Ship
.
A
small
pledget
of
fine
tow
is
fittest
to
be
applied
to
the
end
of
the
Bone
,
and
the
best
Practitioners
use
it
.
If
it
be
above
the
Elbow
,
or
in
the
Thigh
,
it
is
more
proper
to
touch
the
Marrow
than
other
things
.
To
the
mouths
of
the
great
Vessels
you
are
to
apply
Buttons
armed
with
your
restrictivum
Commune
,
or
(
if
you
fear
a
violent
flowing
)
with
your
Potential
Cautry
,
which
commonly
is
that
of
Calcanth
.
rubefactum
,
or
if
you
first
dip
your
Buttons
in
the
Aqua
stiptica
Vitriola
,
and
then
arm
them
,
it
is
a
good
way
.
The
Buttons
applyed
,
let
an
assistant
hold
them
on
with
his
fingers
ends
.
Now
here
some
take
the
Cross-stitch
,
and
some
neglect
it
,
because
if
it
is
taken
superficially
,
it
breaks
out
and
doth
no
good
,
and
if
deep
,
the
Muscles
are
punctur'd
,
which
causeth
an
addition
of
pain
,
if
not
Convulsion
.
For
my
own
part
I
have
often
used
it
,
and
sometimes
have
done
the
work
as
well
without
it
.
Now
let
him
that
gripes
force
down
his
hands
,
that
the
Muscles
may
return
over
the
end
of
the
bone
whilst
the
other
hold
fast
the
Buttons
to
the
ends
of
the
Veins
;
keeping
still
your
Ligature
fast
,
and
do
you
apply
a
pledget
wet
in
acetum
,
and
armed
with
restrictive
to
the
end
of
the
stump
;
and
another
wet
and
armed
over
that
,
and
so
large
as
may
reach
two
inches
over
the
stump
;
and
a
strong
Cross-bolster
upon
that
,
which
your
assistant
must
hold
fast
to
;
but
before
you
bring
the
edges
fast
about
,
let
go
your
Ligature
.
And
then
let
your
assistant
hale
up
the
Cross
bolster
strongly
,
and
the
other
force
hard
with
his
hand
on
the
applications
;
and
do
you
with
a
single
Rouler
fetch
3
or
4
turns
something
tort
,
about
the
place
where
the
Ligature
was
.
If
blood
appears
,
clap
an
unarm'd
button
on
that
place
,
and
strip
a
wet
bladder
over
that
to
secure
the
upper
things
from
being
bloody
:
Then
bring
to
another
Bolster
,
and
with
a
long
double
head
Rowler
make
firm
bandage
,
and
be
sure
at
every
turn
that
comes
over
the
end
of
the
stump
let
your
assistants
hand
be
on
it
to
hold
it
fast
to
,
until
you
have
fastned
your
Rowler
.
Then
lay
the
man
so
to
pass
,
that
the
stump
may
be
higher
than
the
Body
,
and
wrapt
warm
with
a
Garment
,
and
a
Pillow
under
it
;
but
be
sure
to
place
him
as
far
off
,
to
the
further
part
of
the
Platform
,
as
possible
;
that
there
may
be
room
for
others
,
and
all
that
you
lay
after
him
,
let
them
be
laid
for
advantage
;
for
I
have
sometimes
had
my
Platform
so
full
of
wounded
men
,
that
I
could
not
tell
how
to
dispose
of
more
:
This
done
,
let
him
have
another
Cordial
drachm
,
but
have
a
care
of
too
much
,
lest
it
inflame
him
,
and
make
his
blood
more
fluid
:
And
have
an
Eye
lest
his
Mesmates
come
with
their
bottle
,
and
prejudice
him
with
their
kindness
,
as
I
have
sometimes
seen
;
and
so
turn
your
hand
to
another
,
and
be
as
expedite
in
all
your
operations
as
possible
.
I
have
here
given
you
but
a
touch
of
this
,
only
to
let
you
know
how
to
behave
your self
in
time
of
Fight
.
Anon
I
'le
teach
you
to
prosecute
this
cure
to
the
end
:
And
then
I
'le
shew
you
how
both
to
begin
and
end
the
curing
of
all
other
eminent
Wounds
,
or
Accidents
that
usually
happen
either
in
an
ingagement
,
or
at
other
times
at
Sea
;
for
if
you
'l
be
a
Sea-Chirurgeon
,
such
you
must
expect
to
meet
with
,
as
others
have
done
.
CHAP.
II.
Teacheth
what
is
to
be
done
by
the
Chirurgeon
the
next
day
after
the
Ingagement
.
BUT
by
the
way
take
notice
,
that
it
is
not
fit
to
open
an
Amputation
under
the
space
of
at
least
three
dayes
;
nor
of
other
great
Wounds
where
there
is
danger
of
an
Hemorrhage
in
less
than
two
dayes
.
The
next
morning
after
the
Fight
,
in
the
first
place
provide
Victuals
for
the
wounded
men
:
Let
your
Pot
be
boyled
with
Grewel
of
Oatmeal
,
Currants
,
and
Spice
;
and
when
't
is
ready
,
let
it
be
sweetned
with
Sugar
,
and
give
thereof
to
each
of
them
,
and
let
them
have
it
twice
a
day
at
least
:
Then
consider
what
wounds
or
accidents
should
be
drest
this
second
day
,
which
are
such
as
are
burnt
with
powder
,
slight
Wounds
,
and
all
Bruises
or
Contusions
.
These
being
drest
:
Think
of
a
vulnerary
Drink
for
the
wounded
;
(
especially
such
as
are
inwardly
bruised
,
or
have
penetrating
wounds
.
)
Now
if
a
man
were
ashore
,
decoctum
Traumaticum
,
or
Vulnerarium
,
Infusus
Vulnerarius
,
or
else
Spruse
Beer
,
would
be
very
excellent
:
But
you
are
at
Sea
,
and
have
not
these
things
,
nor
can
you
possibly
carry
with
you
so
many
Herbs
,
Roots
,
and
Seeds
as
will
make
them
.

These
are
things
that
you
can
carry
to
Sea
with
you
,
and
have
ready
to
give
a
man
at
an
instant
.
'T
is
true
,
many
of
these
things
are
very
rich
and
costly
;
and
't
is
like
you
expected
me
to
advise
you
to
things
of
good
vertue
,
and
yet
of
less
cost
:
'T
is
true
they
are
so
:
but
then
their
Doses
are
not
great
;
and
consider
that
Life
is
of
more
worth
than
the
best
of
them
;
besides
,
if
you
know
any
thing
more
vulgar
and
of
less
value
,
and
yet
powerful
as
to
the
intention
,
you
may
use
it
,
I
impose
not
on
you
;
you
are
at
your
liberty
;
only
pardon
me
if
I
advise
you
to
the
best
of
Medicines
,
(
although
never
so
costly
.
)
And
indeed
in
this
case
Balm
of
Gilead
(
if
you
had
it
)
were
not
too
good
,
I
know
it
to
be
their
only
Medicine
in
Syria
,
Egypt
,
and
Palestine
:
They
take
half
a
spoonful
of
it
at
a
time
,
the
Christians
in
a
Glass
of
Wine
,
and
the
Mahometans
in
their
Sherbet
,
when
any
of
them
is
bruised
,
or
greatly
wounded
.
And
the
meaner
sort
boyl
the
fruit
of
the
Tree
from
whence
this
comes
,
and
drink
the
Decoction
when
they
are
hurt
.
It
sweats
out
of
the
Fruit
of
the
Cedar
,
and
is
not
much
unlike
thin
Turpentine
both
in
smell
,
sight
,
and
taste
.
A
Merchant
in
Tripoly
in
Syria
,
near
Mount
Lebanon
,
shewed
me
,
and
gave
me
both
of
the
Balm
,
and
of
the
Fruit
,
when
as
it
was
new
cut
,
and
brought
down
from
the
Mountain
at
what
time
the
Fruit
was
sweating
out
its
Balm
.
The
Fruit
is
not
much
unlike
the
Spruce
buds
that
we
see
in
New
found
Land
,
which
sweat
out
such
another
substance
.
This
day
also
you
must
be
providing
Cradles
for
the
wounded
;
you
must
speak
to
the
Commander
to
order
the
Carpenter
to
make
them
.
And
in
the
night
time
let
your
Mates
take
turns
,
to
watch
by
them
,
lest
any
miscarriage
should
be
;
but
let
there
be
quietness
,
and
as
little
disturbance
as
possible
,
for
they
will
have
many
Visitors
.

,
besides
your

and

,
and

:
See

This
is
fittest
for
your
occasion
;
likewise
this
day
dress
all
Wounds
that
you
can
without
fear
of
their
bleeding
afresh
,
which
I
'le
instruct
you
in
anon
;
but
to
comply
with
my
promised
Method
,
I
'le
first
shew
you
to
prosecute
the
cure
of
the
Amputated
Wound
,
and
in
it
of
all
other
amputations
.
CHAP.
IV.
How
to
prosecute
the
Cure
of
the
Amputated
Wound
.
IMagin
the
third
day
after
the
ingagement
is
now
come
,
you
must
think
of
opening
your
Amputations
and
most
dangerous
wounds
:
Have
your
Restringent
Major
,
and
your
Digestivum
Commune
ready
by
you
.
You
will
need
no
fomentation
this
dressing
,
for
that
by
its
heat
might
cause
fresh
bleeding
.
Your
Digestivum
Com.
make
thus
,
℞
Terebenth
.
Mel
Angl.
Ol.

ovor
.
ana
.
pts
.
equal
.
Misce
.
These
mixed
,
make
an
excellent
good
digestive
,
which
is
commonly
used
.
Your
restrictives
that
you
applyed
at
first
,
will
now
stick
very
hard
;
therefore
you
must
have
great
care
and
patience
in
taking
them
off
.
When
all
's
off
,
apply
to
the
ends
of
the
Vessels
some
of
your
Restrictive
Pouder
whether
they
bleed
or
not
;
and
to
the
end
of
the
Bone
a
little
Pouder
of
Myrrh
on
small
pledgits
of
Lint
or
fine
Tow
;
and
over
these
apply
your
digestive
on
pledgits
all
over
the
end
of
the
stump
;
then
imbrocate
the
part
about
with
Oyl
of
Roses
,
or
Hypericon
,
and
so
place
fit
Bolsters
,
and
roul
it
up
for
this
time
.
Now
this
second
dressing
need
not
to
be
taken
off
under
two
dayes
,
unless
some
accident
happen
.
When
you
dress
it
next
,
all
danger
of
bleeding
will
be
over
,
and
you
may
prepare
your
fomentation
to
help
on
digestion
,
and
to
recollect
the
dissipated
Spirits
.
For
you
will
find
a
discolouration
about
the
end
of
the
part
,
but
fear
not
that
;
for
when
by
the
Fomentation
,
and
Digestivum
Commune
,
Digestion
is
made
,
that
blackness
will
vanish
.
And
when
you
see
the
end
of
the
part
swell
much
,
't
is
so
much
the
better
;
for
the
Spirits
are
returned
unto
it
,
and
there
's
less
fear
of
Mortification
.
Your
Fomentation
usually
is
,
℞
Herbae
Hypericon
,
Centariae
,
Absynth
.
and
other
Fomentation
Hearbs
,
which
you
alwayes
have
ready
by
you
in
your
Drug
Chest
;
decoct
two
or
three
handfuls
of
these
in
Water
,
and
to
the
strained
Liquor
add
a
good
quantity
of
Spirit
of
Vinum
Commune
,
(
aliàs
Brandy
)
to
make
it
more
strong
and
lively
.
Have
Stuphs
of
Cotton
,
or
Flannel
to
wring
out
of
this
Liquor
,
and
apply
them
hot
one
after
one
,
for
a
good
while
together
.
Then
apply
to
the
end
of
the
bone
a
small
pledgit
dipt
in
tincture
of
Myrrh
hot
,
and
likewise
bathe
the
end
of
the
stump
therewith
,
and
so
lay
to
your
Digestivum
Commune
on
pledgits
of
fine
Tow
or
Lint
.
Let
your
Digestive
be
moderately
warm
.
When
you
have
digested
the
Wound
sufficiently
,
and
there
is
no
further
danger
of
Gangreen
,
then
leave
off
the
Common
Digestive
,
but
keep
still
to
your
Stuphs
and
Tincture
;
for
those
will
powerfully
forward
the
healing
,
together
with
the
Vulnerary
Drink
that
I
directed
in
the
Second
Chapter
;
and
have
a
care
that
he
drinks
not
strong
Drink
to
inflame
.
Now
Basiticon
Minus
,
and
Linamentum
Arcei
mixt
and
applyed
on
your
Pledgits
warm
to
the
Wound
is
a
very
proper
Medicine
,
and
commonly
used
;
for
this
both
digests
and
heals
:
Only
let
not
these
touch
the
end
of
the
Bone
,
nor
yet
no
Unctions
,
nor
Corrosive
thing
whatever
;
but
let
your
small
Pledgit
dipt
in
your
Tincture
of
Myrrh
,
be
still
next
the
Bone
.
For
these
Unctious
things
will
suffer
the
moist
Humour
to
fall
on
the
Bone
,
and
that
is
it
that
rots
and
putrifies
the
Bone
,
which
the
Tincture
of
Myrrh
,
or
Powder
of
Myrrh
doth
prevent
.
And
if
the
Bone
should
be
foul
,
by
this
or
the
Air
,
or
other
accident
,
't
is
but
applying
your
pulvis
Euphorbii

next
to
the
Bone
under
your
other
Balsams
,
and
it
will
delicately
scale
it
.
Two
or
three
of
these
dressings
will
bring
off
the
great
stuff
,
and
you
'l
have
your
Wound
in
a
hopeful
way
of
Curing
.
Then
you
may
leave
of
your
Unctious
medic
.
and
apply
only
Balsamum
Terebinthine
or
unguentum
Tereb
.
which
will
certainly
do
your
work
,
and
heal
the
Wound
as
fast
as
you
would
have
it
.
And
if
you
took
the
Cross
Stick
,
you
may
now
cut
it
and
pick
it
out
.
The
later
of
these
although
't
is
called
unguent
.
Tereb

yet
it
has
no
Oylous
or
Unctious
ingredient
in
it

That
is

good
for
healing
,
and
the
Balsam
is

these
may
be

After
the
Eight
at
Buda
,
when
the
Emperor
routed
the
Turks
,
I
saw
in
Constantinople
a
Turk
that
had
been
wounded
there
by
a
brace
of
Bullets
that
had
been
shot
through
his
Arm
extreamly
shattering
both
bones
Vlna
and
Radius
,
and
this
wound
after
the
bloud
had
been
stanch'd
,
was
drest
only
with
alb.
ovorum
,
and
Tereb
.
Cypr.
misce
;
and
for
all
the
shatter'd
bones
were
not
taken
out
,
and
it
was
now
two
months
since
the
Fight
,
yet
the
bones
were
not
in
the
least
foul
,
nor
was
there
any
ill
scent
,
but
extraordinary
good
and
laudable
digestion
,
and
the
wound
inclining
to
heal
,
but
too
fast
over
the
loose
bones
;
and
(
when
at
the
request
of
a
Merchant
)
I
had
laid
it
open
,
and
taken
out
the
splintred
ossicles
,
the
Turk
healed
it
himself
with
that
very
medicine
;
it
was
almost
cured
before
we
parted
thence
,
which
was
about
a
fortnight
after
I
had
laid
it
open
.
This
I
insert
only
to
confirm
your
confidence
in
the
unguent
.
or
balsam
of
Terebenth
.
which
must
needs
be
more
efficacious
than
this
of
the
Turks
which
I
have
spoke
of
,
considering
the
ingredients
in
them
added
to
these
.
When
you
have
healed
it
so
,
as
you
would
have
it
to
cicatrize
,
then
you
may
at
first
add
to
your
balsam
,
desiccatrum
rubrum
,
or
diapompholigos
;
and
at
last
use
them
alone
.
For
these
will
dry
and
skin
it
to
your
satisfaction
.
And
mind
this
,
that
if
in
the
time
of
Cure
the
Patient
should
at
any
time
turn
Feverish
,
besides
administring
of
Clysters
,
you
must
open
a
Vein
.
CHAP.
V.
How
to
Cure
all
dangerous
Wounds
of
the
Joynts
.
WE
'le
suppose
before
you
have
quite
done
with
your
dismembred
man
,
there
's
brought
down
another
,
wounded
in
the
Knee
,
with
a
Musket
Bullet
.
The
Veins
,
Arteries
;
and
Nerves
are
wounded
,
and
the
Cartilages
and
Bones
shattered
,
and
the
Bullet
sticking
in
.
This
is
a
very
dangerous
Wound
,
with
intolerable
pain
,
and
a
violent
efflux
of
Blood
.
Here
two
designs
immediately
offer
;
the
one
to
extract
the
shot
and
shattered
Bones
,
and
the
other
to
stop
the
Blood
.
Here
the
latter
is
first
to
be
executed
least
the
man
bleed
to
Death
whilst
you
are
doing
the
other
.
Your
way
is
to
make
strong
Ligature
about
the
Thigh
,
so
that
the
blood
shall
not
descend
(
at
leastwise
in
any
great
quantity
)
.
If
such
a
Wound
should
happen
in
the
joint
of
the
Hip
,
where
such
Ligation
cannot
be
made
,
it
were
much
more
dangerous
.
When
you
have
made
your
Ligature
as
hard
as
if
it
were
for
dismembering
,
then
with
your
probe
feel
for
the
shot
,
and
with
your
Forceps
or
Terebellum
extract
it
.
But
if
it
is
near
through
on
the
further
side
,
Clap
a
flat
pointed
strong
Probe
to
it
,
and
with
your
incision
Knife
cut
it
out
,
thrusting
it
with
your
Probe
;
but
be
tender
of
the
Vessels
,
or
Nerves
,
and
get
the
splinter'd
Bones
out
in
like
manner
;
for
if
you
should
not
do
this
now
whilst
the
man
is
hot
,
(
which
must
of
necessity
be
done
)
you
'l
but
very
ill
do
it
hereafter
.
If
there
be
some
small
extramosities
that
should
escape
you
now
,
't
is
no
great
matter
,
you
need
not
spend
over
much
time
(
which
now
is
precious
)
they
will
come
to
hand
at
another
dressing
.
And
if
it
were
a
shot
that
should
stay
in
,
if
it
were
a
Musculous
part
,
provided
the
shot
were
round
&
not
chaw'd
nor
jag'd
,
it
would
not
be
at
all
the
more
dangerous
.
For
I
have
known
when
such
a
Bullet
could
not
be
got
out
,
that
it
hath
of
it self
by
its
own
weight
made
way
lower
and
lower
,
to
a
depending
part
,
where
it
hath
appeared
through
the
skin
,
and
there
hath
been
cut
out
,
and
hath
healed
after
it
all
along
as
it
hath
descended
;
this
happened
to
one
of
our
Seamen
,
when
we
had
Wars
with
Algier
,
and
fought
before
Tedellis
in
Barbary
.
This
done
,
dip
your
Dorcells
in
your
aqua
stiptica
,
squeeze
them
,
then
arm
them
with
your
Restringent
,
and
fill
the
Wound
with
them
;
but
let
no
hard
Tents
be
applyed
among
the
Joynts
,
neither
here
nor
in
any
other
.
Apply
good
Bolsters
and
make
good
Bandage
,
and
so
give
this
a
Cordial
drachm
,
and
lay
him
by
the
other
;
for
this
is
all
what
can
be
done
at
this
time
,
and
this
wound
ought
not
to
be
opened
in
less
time
than
two
dayes
,
unless
accidents
inforce
you
.
The
next
dressing
be
cautious
how
you
apply
your
Fomentation
,
least
it
should
cause
fresh
bleeding
;
but
let
your
digestive
have
powder
of
Saffron
mixt
with
it
,
and
let
it
be
apply'd
on
Dorcells
into
the
Wound
,
then
will
your
digestive
be
not
only
suppurative
,
but
also
anodine
,
which
is
an
intention
which
this
Wound
extreamly
requires
,
as
also
prevention
of
other
accidents
;
as
Convulsion
of
the
Nerves
,
Contraction
of
the
Muscles
and
Fever
.
Now
as
your
digestive
it
in
the
Wounds
so
all
about
the
Wound
let
your
Emplast
.
diasulphuris
Rulandi
be
applied
,
for
that
is
the
most
excellent
that
is
yet
known
for
all
Wounds
of
the
Joynts
,
and
Nervous
parts
.
And
let
there
be
a
strong
defensive
about
the
Thigh
.
℞
Your
pulv
.
restr

minor
with
acetum

and

This
is
a
good
defensive
;
and
mind
this
,
That
when
you
apply
your
digestive
into
the
Wound
,
let
either
the
Balsam
or
Unguent
of
Terebinthina
be
applyed
next
the
Bone
.
This
manner
of
Dressing
should
be
used
till
digestion
is
effected
.
And
as
soon
as
there
is
no
danger
of
Bleeding
,
let
your
hot
and
comfortable
Fomentation
be
used
,
and
let
your
Wound
Drink
be
given
inwardly
;
and
let
his
body
be
kept
open

This
(
I
am
confirm'd
)
you
'l
find
to
be
an
excellent
method
of
curing
Wounds
of
the
Joynts
and
Nervous
parts

CHAP.
VI.
How
to
Cure
a
Compound
Fracture
,
and
Dislocation
together
.
BY
this
time
let
us
imagine
another
is
lower'd
down
to
you
,
who
being
up
aloft
knotting
the
Rigging
,
a
shot
came
and
carried
the
Rope
from
under
his
Feet
that
he
stood
upon
,
and
he
fell
down
upon
the
Deck
;
and
dislocated
his
Shoulder-Bone
,
and
fractured
the
Os
Brachium
,
so
that
the
end
of
one
part
of
the
Bone
comes
through
the
Flesh
and
Skin
over
the
other
.
This
is
a
notable
Accident
,
and
't
is
impossible
but
that
this
man
must
be
much
bruised
inwardly
by
the
fall
also
.
Your
way
is
to
let
his
Clothes
be
immediately
ript
off
,
and
seeing
how
the
Case
stands
,
give
him
immediately
a
Cordial
dram
,
to
revive
his
Spirits
;
and
then
make
way
to
reduce
the
dislocated
Joynt
;
after
embrocate
about
it
with
Oleum
Rosarum
,
and
clap
about
it
a
good
Warm
Searcloth
of
Oxycroceum
.
Let
there
be
a
good
Bolster
placed
under
the
Arm-pit
,
and
firm
and
decent
rouling
.
Next
go
in
hand
with
your
compound
Fracture
,
which
will
be
the
more
difficult
to
reduce
,
because
of
the
new
Located
Joint
.
Now
all
dislocations
and
fractures
are
reduced
either
by
a
slight
and
sudden
Motion
,
or
by
a
more
strong
Extension
.
The
joynt
of
the
Shoulder
might
(
't
is
like
)
be
done
by
the
former
;
but
this
kind
of
Fracture
will
require
the
latter
.
There
must
be
a
powerful
extension
of
this
Fracture
,
because
the
Ends
of
the
Bones
are
one
over
the
other
.
Therefore
he
that
holds
the
upper
part
,
had
need
of
a
good
Machine
,
or
Bandage
to
hold
fast
by
,
against
him
that
extends
the
other
way
,
that
he
may
succour
the
Shoulder-joynt
.
'T
is
like
too
that
the
Wound
may
not
be
wide
enough
to
let
the
head
of
the
Bone
easily
return
,
then
you
must
make
incision
,
but
have
a
care
of
the
Vessels
.
When
the
ends
of
the
Bones
are
evenly
placed
,
embrocate
about
the
part
with
Oleum
Rosar
.
and
into
the
Wound
apply
a
small
dorcel
of
Tincture
of
Myrrh
next
the
Bone
,
and
on
that
your
digestive
on
another
dorcel
;
and
over
all
a
large
Restrictive

.
Let
it
be
spread
thick
on
a
double
cloth
,
and
applyed
all
about
,
except
on
the
wound
;
but
on
the
wound
leave
a
spare
place
cut
out
,
that
it
may
be
come
at
to
be
drest
:
Place
on
this
another
bolster
wrung
out
of
Acetum
,
but
a
spare
place
likewise
in
it
,
that
the
wound
may
be
come
at
;
then
a
soft
Rouler
to
come
several
turns
about
it
,
and
every
valve
as
it
comes
over
the
wound
cut
;
not
to
the
sides
(
because
they
may
hold
fast
)
but
in
the
middle
;
on
this
place
a
small
,
but
thick
bolster
on
the
wound
,
that
may
answer
the
wanting
valves
.
This
done
,
make
the
smallest
part
equal
to
the
biggest
,
with
soft
bolsters
;
so
place
thereon
broad
and
hollow
splints
opposite
to
the
wound
,
and
on
each
side
it
,
but
not
on
it
;
the
which
let
be
decently
bound
on
with
Tape
from
joynt
to
joynt
,
yet
not
to
touch
the
Joynt
so
as
to
hurt
it
;
nor
yet
so
hard
as
to
cause
ill
accidents
to
the
wound
and
fracture
.
So
let
his
Clothes
be
put
about
him
,
and
open
a
vein
in
the
other
Arm
,
because
of
his
inward
contusion
;
that
it
may
hinder
the
coagulation
of
the
blood
.
Lay
this
by
the
rest
for
this
time
,
and
when
you
see
occasion
,
give
him
of
the
wound
drink
as
you
do
the
others
.
You
must
note
,
if
this
had
been
but
a
simple
fracture
,
you
must
on
the
single
Rouler
,
and
over
all
have
made
use
of
two
Roulers
more
;
the
one
must
have
begun
with
two
or
three
turns
about
the
fracture
,
and
you
must
then
have
rouled
upwards
,
with
the
valves
something
close
,
to
anticipate
a
defluxion
of
humours
,
and
the
other
after
two
or
three
turns
about
the
fracture
must
have
been
lead
downwards
with
the
valves
more
open
,
and
after
turn'd
a
cross
at
the
lower
Joynt
,
and
so
rouled
up
again
to
the
other
;
there
to
end
;
and
see
the
Arm
made
even
with
Bolsters
,
and
the
Splints
applyed
,
this
should
not
be
removed
under
6
or
7
dayes
,
unless
accidents
urged
;
and
if
heat
or
pain
should
,
then
it
were
but
undoing
it
carefully
,
and
bathing
it
with
warm
water
;
and
then
aplying
an
Oxicrocium
Sear-cloth
about
it
,
and
so
roul
it
up
again
,
and
let
it
remain
:
But
this
Compound
Fracture
admits
of
no
such
rouling
;
but
there
must
be
much
more
care
and
trouble
about
it
.
The
next
dressing
of
your
Compound
wound
;
which
must
not
be
under
two
(
if
not
three
)
dayes
time
:
You
must
take
off
all
to
the
single
Rouler
,
but
let
it
,
and
all
under
it
remain
longer
,
(
unless
some
accidents
have
hapned
)
Take
off
the
small
bolster
of
the
wound
,
and
take
out
the
Dorcels
:
Let
all
be
done
with
great
care
and
gentleness
,
least
you
displace
what
you
before
reduced
.
Cleanse
the
wound
with
hot
Tincture
of
Myrrhae
,
then
drop
into
it
hot
Balsam
of
Terebenth
,
and
apply
dorcels
into
it
dipt
in
the
same
;
on
these
a
bolster
,
and
so
make
it
up
again
as
it
was
before
.
Use
this
manner
of
dressing
till
accidents
,
or
time
cause
you
to
take
off
the
restrictive
When
you
take
it
off
,
bathe
it
,
and
stuph
it
well
with
your
hot
Fomentation
,
but
have
a
care
of
displacing
the
Fracture
;
then
apply
an
Oxicrocium
Plaster
warm
all
over
,
only
on
the
wound
let
it
be
cut
as
the
restrictive
before
was
;
and
this
will
help
on
a
Callous
,
and
the
Bone
to
cement
,
and
is
an
approved
thing
for
Fractures
,
and
very
Anodine
;
then
let
it
be
made
up
in
every
respect
as
it
was
before
,
and
continue
this
manner
of
dressing
to
the
end
:
And
when
you
can
with
safety
,
you
may
take
off
the
Sear-cloth
from
the
Shoulder
,
and
bathe
and
stuph
that
well
and
hot
to
strengthen
it
,
and
so
apply
another
Oxicrocium
Sear-cloth
to
it
again
.
Be
sure
in
such
cures
as
these
,
to
keep
a
cool
and
open
Body

How
to
cure
a
wound
of
the
Head
,
with
a
Fracture
of
the
Scul
.
ANother
comes
down
with
his
Head
wounded
,
and
Scul
fractured
,
which
often
happens
in
time
of
Fight
,
by
a
small
Shot
or
Splinter
:
I
met
with
several
such
in
the
last
Holland
Wars
:
Some
the
Cutis
Muscula
,
not
only
much
wounded
,
but
the
Scul
fractured
,
so
as
the
Dura
mater
hath
been
bare
.
Others
again
have
had
but
a
slight
wound
of
the
outer
part
,
but
the
Scul
hath
had
a
small
Fracture
or
Fissure
;
and
this
latter
is
worser
than
the
former
.
The
former
you
see
fairly
,
and
by
dilating
a
little
with
your
Incision
Knife
of
the
Scalp
wider
than
the
Wound
,
you
easily
take
out
any
loose
Splinters
that
might
prick
the
Meninges
:
But
the
latter
,
When
you
have
laid
bare
the
Scul
,
(
the
which
it
is
not
safe
to
neglect
,
upon
the
least
symptoms
)
you
will
scarcely
see
at
this
time
if
there
be
a
Fracture
or
no
:
For
indeed
some
have
not
immediately
their
Speech
taken
away
,
nor
yet
Vomit
,
nor
Bleed
at
the
Ears
or
Mouth
,
nor
(
whilst
they
are
hot
)
have
such
signs
of
a
Fracture
as
other
some
have
.
However
the
best
way
is
,
If
you
have
but
any
suspition
,
to
lay
the
Bone
bare
,
and
the
worst
that
can
fall
by
that
,
is
but
healing
it
again
,
if
there
be
not
a
Fracture
;
but
if
there
should
be
one
,
the
neglect
thereof
were
dangerous
.
Shave
the
Head
(
at
least
waies
a
convenient
breadth
about
the
wound
)
that
nothing
may
hinder
your
Applications
,
but
that
you
may
decently
dress
it
:
Whether
it
is
the
greater
or
lesser
Fracture
,
if
it
hath
done
bleeding
,
dress
it
with
hot
Tincture
of
Myrrhae
on
Dorcels
,
especially
next
the
bone
;
but
if
it
bleeds
much
,
apply
on
the
Dorsel
of
Tincture
your
,
Restrictive
on
other
Dorsels
,
and
over
all
,
when
you
have
imbrocated
all
about
with
Oyl
of
Roses
,
or
Hypericon
;
apply
a
thick
double
Bolster
,
and
so
make
good
bandage
for
the
present
,
and
let
him
not
drink
Brandy
,
nor
other
liquor
that
will
inflame
.
The
next
dressing
,
whether
it
be
the
first
or
second
day
after
this
,
have
your
Stuphs
ready
to
wring
out
of
hot
Spirit
of
Wine
,
and
apply
them
.
You
'l
find
now
not
only
by
Symptoms
,
but
you
will
likewise
see
(
if
you
look
diligently
,
)
whether
there
is
a
Fracture
or
no
;
if
there
be
,
and
the
man
hath
grievous
pain
of
his
Head
,
and
redness
of
Eyes
,
Vomits
,
spits
Blood
,
't
is
a
sign
that
the
brain
is
concussed
,
and
the
contused
blood
would
have
vent
,
and
hath
not
by
reason
of
the
smallness
of
the
Fracture
.
To
do
this
;
Having
with
your
Sculpra
removed
the
Pericranium
clearly
,
apply
the
Traphine
,
Let
it
be
,
(
if
it
can
)
something
beneath
the
Fracture
,
that
the
blood
may
be
better
evacuated
.
When
you
are
through
the
first
Table
,
take
out
your
Pin
,
and
then
work
gently
through
the
second
;
but
with
a
steady
hand
,
and
great
care
,
lest
the
teeth
of
the
Traphine
should
tear
the
Dura
Mater
.
When
you
are
almost
through
,
try
if
the
small
piece
in
the
hallow
of
the
Traphine
be
loose
,
if
it
is
,
then
the
Teeth
are
just
through
:
Now
have
a
care
of
the
Meninges
,
and
take
out
the
piece
;
but
mind
that
you
apply
not
your
Traphine
on
the
temporal
Bones
,
Sutures
,
or
Sinciput
;
and
with
your
Lenticula
smooth
the
Perforation
,
and
when
with
fine
Lint
or
Tow
you
have
cleansed
the
work
,
place
a
smooth
lawn
Cylendula
,
dipt
in
warm
Tincture
of
Myrrh
between
the
Dura
Mater
,
and
the
other
applications
.
Or
this
,
Let
small
fine
Dorcels
be
dipt
in
the
same
Tincture
,
and
applyed
,
filling
the
wound
of
the
Bone
therewith
.
But
to
the
rest
of
the
wound
on
that
,
Balsamum
Terebinthinae
is
the
fittest
Medicine
,
let
it
be
applyed
warm
on
Dorsels
,
and
on
it
,
and
over
all
the
head
,
when
it
hath
been
imbrocated
with
warm
Oyl
of
Roses
,
or
Hypericon
,
let
a
Plaister
of
Paracelsus
,
or
Betonica
be
warm
applyed
,
then
clap
a
good
double
Bolster
over
the
wound
,
with
a
plate
,
or
broad
piece
of
silver
in
it
,
to
hinder
that
the
Dura
Mater
swell
not
out
of
the
Scull
,
(
for
it
will
be
apt
to
Tumifie
:
)
Let
there
be
a
warm
double
cloth
about
all
the
head
,
and
with
a
double
head
rouler
make
smooth
and
decent
head
rouling
;
and
let
him
be
laid
as
free
from
noise
as
possible
,
which
is
very
hard
to
do
in
a
ship
.
The
same
manner
of
dressing
,
(
the
Traphine
only
excepted
)
is
to
be
used
in
the
greater
fracture
:
If
there
be
some
asperities
and
unevenness
in
the
edges
of
the
bone
,
be
cautious
how
you
use
your
capital
Instrument
(
as
Raspitory
,
File
,
Saw
,
or
the
like
)
with
them
,
and
great
care
you
may
do
good
;
but
with
this
method
of
dressing
,
as
I
directed
,
you
'l
find
the
bone
to
exfoliate
it self
to
your
satisfaction
in
a
little
time
.
When
the
Brain
and
Meninges
are
well
,
and
the
fissure
Cements
with
a
Callous
,
and
the
perforation
,
or
great
Fracture
do
heal
up
with
a
substance
,
then
you
may
leave
off
the
Cylendula
,
and
after
washing
the
Wound
with
your
Tincture
,
apply
the
Balsam
only
into
it
,
or
at
least
Liniment
arcei
,
and
so
the
rest
as
before
:
But
mind
in
this
,
and
all
such
wounds
to
open
a
Vein
often
,
and
keep
the
Body
open
by
Clysters
,
and
let
your
wound
drink
be
given
him
;
either
of
the
three
Medicines
in
the
last
Chap.
or
Pulv.
ad
Casum
:
ʒi

at
a
time
in
Beer
,
Ale
,
or
Wine
,
either
alone
,
or
mixt
with
Syr.
Myrtles
,
causing
the
Patient
to
sweat
upon
it
.

How
to
Cure
Wounds
of
the
Abdomen
and
Ruptures
.
ANother
by
a
Splinter
hath
the
rim
of
his
belly
dilacerated
,
insomuch
as
that
the
Omentum
appears
,
and
the
wound
is
large
.
This
is
a
dangerous
Wound
also
:
Here
you
must
immediately
make
firm
stitching
,
(
and
the
same
you
must
do
if
it
were
any
deep
incised
Wound
.
)
Let
it
be
with
a
delicate
slender
Needle
,
not
too
burly
,
arm'd
with
strong
double
silk
,
drawn
through
your
Paracelsus
,
or
other
plaister
,
as
if
it
were
Wax
.
Let
not
your
stitches
be
too
close
,
but
that
there
may
be
room
for
the
blood
or
matter
to
come
forth
,
especially
in
the
depending
part
:
This
done
,
foment
it
hot
with
common
Spirit
of
Wine
,
and
then
having
some
of
your
Restrictive
mixt
with
Oyl
of
Mirtles
,
apply
it
on
a
double
cloth
,
and
so
make
good
rouling
,
giving
him
a
Cordial
,
and
lay
him
for
present
by
the
others
;
and
see
you
give
him
of
the
Vulnerary
drink
,
either
of
the
Symphitum
;
or
Aristolach
,
or
Pulvis

and
now
if

,
it
will
be
much
the
better
;
for
it
is
a
great
secret
in
wounds
and
Ruptures
of
the
Belly
.
When
you
dress
it
again
,
be
sure
you
bathe
and

it
well

;
first
with

How
to
Cure
a
penetrating
Wound
of
the
Breast
,
and
Ribbs
,
or
Back
.
ANother
in
bording
of
the
Enemy
has
a
Pike
run
in
at
his
Breast
,
and
goes
slanting
among
his
Ribs
,
but
misseth
the
Vitals
:
This
is
another
dangerous
wound
.
First
give
the
man
a
Cordial
to
revive
his
Spirits
;
then
having
searched
gently
which
way
the
wound
goeth
,
dip
a
small
tent
in
Aqua
stiptica
Vitrioli
,
and
the
glare
of
an
Egg
beaten
together
,
this
will
stop
the
bleeding
powerfully
:
Have
great
care
lest
your
Tent
should
touch
the
Vitals
,
and
let
it
be
but
slender
,
a
bolster
squeezed
out
of
the
same
Liquor
,
and
applyed
:
This
wound
must
be
kept
open
by
all
means
,
otherwise
it
will
quickly
heal
outwardly
,
and
there
will
be
an
Empyema
inwardly
;
and
when
you
dress
it
next
,
wash
it
with
Tincture
of
Myrrhae
,
and
quint.
aristoloch
.
fabri
,
with
a
Syringe
,
but
let
the
Patient
be
placed
so
,
as
the
wound
may
be
lowest
,
that
what
is
syringed
into
it
;
as
also
the
matter
may
come
forth
of
it
,
and
let
him
lye
so
in
his
Cabbin
or
Cradle
.
Let
the
Tents
be
armed
with
Balsum
Vulnerum
salmon
,
anoint
all
the
region
of
the
breast
,
with
oyl
of
hypericon
,
and
apply
all
over
a
good
warm
Emplaster
of
Paracelsi
:
This
is
the
right
way
to
digest
and
heal
this
kind
of
wound
;
but
mind
if
it
runs
much
matter
,
and
yet
offers
to
heal
too
fast
outwardly
:
Then
keep
it
open
whatever
you
do
,
until
the
bottom
is
first
well
healed
.
Here
the
wound
drink
must
be
observed
,
Clysters
likewise
,
and
Phlebotomy
,
for
in
all
penetrating
Wounds
and
bruises
,
I
expect
the
inward
vulneraries
to
do
as
much
towards
the
cure
,
as
the
external
applications
.

How
to
Cure
a

,
through
a
Fleshie

Musculous
part

IF
the
Bullet
is
not
through

almost
through
,
you
are
taught
how
to
cut
it
out
in
the
Fifth
Chapter
,
or
else
how
to
extract
it
.
This
I
look
upon
as
an
ordinary
Wound
,
although
never
so
deep
:
I
'le
imagine
the
shot
went
in
through
the
thick
of
the
Thigh
,
a
little
below
the
Groyne
,
and
out
(
or
cut
out
)
in
the
hinder
part
of
the
hip
.
You
are
first
to
stop

Take
a
cupple
of
Tents
dipt
in
Aqua

and
then

not
quite
;
and
if
but
one
Tent
,
let
it
not
be
so
long
as
the
wound
is
deep
,
and
as
the
wound
heals
,
make
your
Tent
shorter
by
degrees
,
and
apply
about
the
Thigh
your
Restrictive
Communis
,
mentioned
in
the
Fifth

Diapalma
Malaxed

with

When
you
dress
this

next
,
use
your
Common
Digestive
,
or
your
Tents
;
only
stuph
it
well
with
your
fomentation
,
and
let
Tinctura
Myrrhae
be
your
lotion
,
which
inject
with
your
Syringe
.
When
there
is
good
Digestion
,
then
Basilicon

rest

be

you
may
open

give
him

How
to
Cure
a
Wound
of
the
Fleshy
Parts
,
with
loss
of
substance
.
NOW
I
'll
suppose
a
Man
has
a
great
part
of
the
Galf
of
his
Leg
carried
away
by
a
great
shot
.
Here
first
you
take
thick
Dorsels
or
Pledgits
,
and
squeeze
them
out
of
aqua
stiptica
vitrioli
,
then
arm
them
either
with
your
restrictive
ready
mixt
,
or
with
restringent
powder
alone
;
You
apply
these
,
and
good
Bolster
and
Rouler
at
present
,
laying
him
with
the
part
higher
than
the
Body
.
Next
dressing
it
will
not
be
proper
to
use
the
hot
Fomentation
,
for
't
is
like
there
is
an
aptness
to
bleed
:
But
let
your
common
digestive
be
applyed
,
and
a
defensive
,

When

let

Diapompholigos

If

mixt
with
a
sufficient
quantity
of

make
firm

Let

be
minded
here
likewise
,

then
the

will
heal
more

How
to
Cure
a
deep
incised
Wound

ADmit
a
man
has
got
a
great
cut
on
the
Face
with
a
Back-sword
or
Cutlis
,
so
that
the
fleshy
part
of
his
Cheek
hangs
down
;
you
are
immediately
to
stitch
this
wound
,
and
being
it
's
in
the
Face
,
close
the
Lips
of
it
very
even
:
Let
your
Needle
be
fine
and
slender
,
that
there
may
not
be
an
ugly
scar
afterward
.
The
best
thing
to
lay
first
to
this
wound
when
't
is
stitcht
,
is
Pulvis
Thuraloes
cum
Pilis
Leporinis
,
minutissimum
incisorum
mixt
with
the
glare
of
an
egg
,
and
applyed
on
fine
Lint
or
Towe
,
let
it
stick
on
till
it
comes
off
it self
:
But
if
it
has
done
bleeding
,
wash
it
well
with
Wine
,
or
Spirit
of
Wine
,
and
apply
Balsamum
Hispanicum
fabricii
,
or
that
of
Dr.
Salmons
,
and
lay
a
Paracelsus
Plaister
over
all
,
and
a
good
Bolster
,
and
so
roul
it
up
decently
.
This
latter
will
go
nigh
to
heal
the
wound
at
a
dressing
by
agglutination
.

IF
a
Man
hath
got
a
bruise
,
and
it
is
but
superficial
,
whether
of
the
Limbs
or
any
other
part
,
t
is
cured
by
embrocating
hot
,
and
often
with
Oyl
of
Hypericon
,
and
applying
a
Paracelsus
,
or
Opodeldoch
Plaister
.
But
if
it
is
deep
,
and
the
Vessels
distorted
,
and
the
Muscles
bruised
and
writhen
,
so
that
there
is
blood
lying
deep
between
the
Muscles
't
is
dangerous
.
I
saw
such
a
thing
before
Tripoly
in
Barbary
,
when
we
had
wars
with
that
place
.
A
Ship
coming
to
an
Anchor
,
and
the
Cable
running
out
,
a
Kink
therein
happened
to
disaster
a
Mans
Leg
,
in
this
manner
:
The
Chyrurgion
Embrocated
it
with
good
Oyls
,
and
applyed
good
Emplasters
to
it
,
but
for
all
that
the
blood
that
was
forced
out
of
the
Vessels
lay
deep
,
and
it
could
not
be
discussed
,
but
waxed
worse
,
and
in
four
days
time
Gangrened
;
the
Chyrurgion
seeing
that
,
sent
for
other
Chyrurgions
(
and
me
among
the
rest
)
on
board
,
but
whilst
we
were
making
ready
to
amputate
it
,
the
Man
dyed
.
In
such
a
case
as
this
,
let
blood
as
soon
as
you
have
Embrocated
it
with
hot
Oyl
of
Hypericon
,
and
applyed
your
Emplaster
,
both
about
the
contused
Muscles
,
and
likewise
about
the
distorted
or
sprained
Joynt
,
and
be
sure
that
you
make
plentiful
Phlebotomy
,
for
that
will
be
a
great
help
;
and
let
the
wound-drink
be
drank
plentifully
,
and
that
is
another
good
help
.
Bathe
and
stuff
the
part
well
and
hot
(
likewise
)
with
spiritus
vini
communis
,
let
this
be
done
often
,
and
let
your
hot
Oyl
and
Emplaster
be
not
only
once
a
day
(
as
is
usual
)
but
if
you
mean
to
save
a
mans
Life
or
Limb
,
let
them
be
often
apply'd
.
If
you
find
for
all
this
,
that
the
pain
increases
,
and
the
Tumor
likewise
,
then
endeavour
to
bring
it
to
maturation
as
soon
as
possible
,
for
if
you
cannot
do
this
,
there
will
be
a
Gangrene
,
(
especially
if
it
be
sultry
Weather
,
as
I
remember
was
then
at
Tripoly
.
)
Now
use
no
repellents
,
nor
any
thing
to
cool
inflammation
,
but
apply
this
maturative
Cataplasm
following
,
℞

There
is
no
Cataplasm
whatever
more
excellent
than
this
to
bring
any
manner
of
Tumour
to
digestion
;
besides
,
't
is
made
in
an
instant
.
Continue
the
repeating
of
this
hot
Cataplasm
,
till
you
see
the
Tumor
rise
fairly
for
a
head
;
and
when
you
see
its
ready
,
stay
not
for
its
breaking
,
but
open
it
by
incision
,
in
the
depending
part
to
let
out
the
abundance
of
goary
matter
,
that
it
foul
not
the
Bone
,
or
a
Gangrene
sieze
inwardly
.
When
it
has
run
well
,
cleanse
it
with
that
excellent
Lotion
,
Spiritus
vini
vitriolati
.
Or
if
it
putrified
about
the
Bone
,
Tincture
of
Myrrhe
syring'd
into
it
is
excellent
.
And
on
your
Dorcels
or
Tents
,
Balsamum
vulnerarium
Salmonis
is
now
very
proper
;
and
over
all
a
diach
.
plaister
or
deminum
malax'd
with
Oyl
of
Roses
is
now
of
good
use
.
But
let
the
spreined
joynt
be
still
embrocated
with
Oleum
excestrense
,

Hypericon
,
and
an
Oxicrocium
Seercloth
apply'd
warm
about

BUT
if
for
all
this
it
would
not
digest
,
but
a

happens
,
then
immediately
make
deep
scarification
all
over
;
(
only
have
a
care
of
the
Nerves
)
and
let
out
the
clotted

Then
foment
it
with
a
strong
Lixivium

made
of
Wood

,
in

decoct

add
a
sufficient
quantity
of
Spirit

,
and
as
much
Sal

,
and
common
Salt
,
as
will
make
it
as
strong
as

Foment
with
this
hot

long
,
which
will
get
out
the
Blood
,
and
prepare
for
the
other
Medicines
.
℞

them

with
your
armed
probe

dipt
in
them
,
touch
the
scarifications
to
the
very
bottom
.
And
be
sure
you
have
scarified
as
far
as
the
part
is
Gangren'd
.
And
over
this
apply
Pledgets
arm'd
with
hot
Egyptiacum
,
and
Spirit
of
Wine
,
and
Ol.
Guaiac
.
misce
,
and
so
do
it
up
.
This
will
make
him
feel
if
he
has
any
feeling
in
it
,
and
you
need
dress
thus
but
once
,
for
it
will
cause
a
thick
and
deep
Esker
or
hard
Scurff
;
and
stop
the
proceeding
of
the
Gangrene
.
And
give
him
inwardly
such
Medicines
as
will
conduce
to
stop
a

in
this
Case
than
this
is
.
Next
dressing
,
let
your
hot
Lixivium
still
be
applyed
;

apply
on
your
Pledgets
onely
hot
Basilicon

to
soften

get

at
two

three
dressings

'l
see
it

,
and
the
dead
to
separate
from
the
quick
.
And
let
not
Phlebotomy
be
wanting
,
nor
Clysters
if
you
see
occasion
.
It
would
scare
a
man
to
see
what
an
ugly
black
scurff
is
on
it
,
but
by
thus
dressing
of
it
,
you
will
see
it
first
part
or
open
a
little
about
the
sides
between
the
dead
part
and
the
living
;
and
at

come
all
off
together

under

Then
Aqua

is
an
excellent
Lotion

And
Liquor

;
with
oleum
Guaicum
,
and
spirit

nothing
stops
it

How
to
Cure
Burns
or
Scalds
.
IT
falls
out
often
that
either
by
a
Cartridge
of
powder
or
otherwise
,
men
are
in
a
Fight
lamentably
burn'd
.
I
have
known
some
so
burn'd
that
the
very
Nerves
and
Tendons
have
shrunk
;
causing
great
Inflamations
,
Feavers
and
other
grievous
Symptoms
.
For
whatever
part
of
the
Body
that
happens
unto
,
it
dryes
up
the
moisture
of
that
part
.
Causing
(
if
the
burn
be
great
)
an
Escar
with
intolerable
pain
.
You
have
at
present
a
two-fold
scope
to
endeavour
,
that
is
,
to
fetch
out
the
burning
,
and
ease
the
pain
.
First
anoint
him
all
over
where
the
burning
is
,
with
℞
Alb
ovor

and
Oyl
of
Roses
and
Lini
,
beaten
together
.
Then
on
soft
Cloth
spread
unguent
.
&
alb.
populion
;
misce
.
Let
it
be
thick
spread
and
often
dressed
,
for
this
is
a
sore
that
will
soon
dry
up
the
Humidity
of
the
Medicines
,
and
if
Blisters
arise
,
cut
them
,
that
the
hot
and
scalding
water
may
not
ulcerate
deeper
under
them
.
Let
this
kind
of
dressing
be
used
till
the
fire
's
out
,
but
as
soon
as
you
perceive
the
heat
to
mitigate
,
have
a
care
how
you
apply
too
cooling
things
to
it
any
longer
,
for
fear
of
a
Gangrene
,
but
now
endeavour
digestion
.
Vnguent
.
Basilicon
Minus
either
alone
,
or
mixed
with
Balsamum
Balsaminae
is
the
fittest
Medicine
.
Be
sure
here
to
mind
the
mans
body
,
for
heat
will
make
him
Costive
;
give
him
Clysters
,
and
let
him
blood
(
if
the
burn
be
deep
)
for
he
will
be
Feverish
.
When
you
see
it
digests
,
then
℞
Oleum

face
be

,
pick
out
the
Corns
of
powder
with
your

some
each

And
mind
this

that
in

you
bind
not

How
to
Cure
a
violent
Bleeding
at
Nose
.
IT
comes
often
that
men
are
taken
with
a
violent
bleeding
at
Nose
.
Divers
ways
men
have
used
to
stop
it
,
and
that
which
has
stop'd
one
mans
bleeding
has
not
stopt
anothers
.
Some
apply
wet
Clothes
dipt
in
acetum
to
the
Privities
,
others
make
Ligature
about
the
Joynts
;
some
apply
cold
Iron
to
the
neck
,
and
others
stop
the
Nose
with
restringent
Dorcels
.
Now
the
Veins
are
eroded
within
the
Os
Cribratum
,
so
that
your
Tent
will
not
come
to
touch
the
place
,
and
the
other
means
do
often
fail
.
When
you
have
fill'd
his
Nostril
with
the
Dorcel
,
the
blood
comes
into
the
Mouth
through
the
infundibulum
,
insomuch
as
he
will
spit
it
out
at
the
Mouth
.
Now
your
way
is
,
to
let
the
Patient
forcibly
snuff
up
his
Nostril
,
Aqua
stiptica
Vitrioli
,
and
by
that
it
will
go
to
the
eroded
place
.
Let
him
do
this
often
,
then
put
up
a
Dorcel
dip'd
in
the
same
;
not
too
hard
,
to
fill
up
the
Nostril
,
but
wet
so
as
he
may
snuff
the
water
at
the
end
of
the
dorcel
,
and
so
let
the
dorcel
stay
there
.
And
in
the
mean
time
,
let
him
blood
to
make
revulsion
,
and
by
this
means
it
will
stop
.
But
for
the
better
security
,
let
him
drink
this
following
;
℞
Aqua
Papaveris
.
syr.

Any
one
of
these
afore-named
Medicines
(
especially
the
aqua
stiptica
vitrioli
)
in
Poppy-water
is
very
powerful
of
it self
to
stop
the
bleeding
,
(
if
you
have
not
them
all
)
you
may
give
of
it
per

How
to
Cure
a
Rheumatisme
.
THis
Distemper
called
a
Rheumatisme
,
I
have
often
observed
Seamen
to
be
afflicted
with
in
ships
that
I
have
been
in
:
'T
is
like
the
Gout
,
but
not
the
Gout
;
it
siezeth
about
the
Joynts
of
the
Feet
,
or
Hands
,
or
both
;
and
if
a
flatulent
vapour
be
stird
up
with
it
,
it
shifts
out
of
one
joynt
to
another
,
and
is
called
the
running
Gout
:
There
is
sometimes
a
light
readness
,
with
small
Tumour
,
and
swoln
Veins
about
the
Joynts
that
it
siezeth
.
He
that
hath
it
,
hath
lamentable
pain
and
misery
,
especially
in
the
night
.
It
never
is
seen
to
break
,
(
although
I
believe
by
ill
handling
it
would
)
for
I
saw
the
Gout
broke
under
a
Gentlemans
foot
by
the
application
of
Cataplasms
;
and
together
with
the
virulent
matter
,
there
came
forth
like
white
seeds
in
abundance
,
harder
than
the
matter
;
by
which
a
man
may
see
what
a
prodigious
humour
the
Gout
is
of

I
could
never

Sweating
would
do
any
good
in
this
disease
,
but
rather
exasperate
it
;
and
drinking
of
Wine
is
an
Enemy
to
it
;
for
most
of
them
that
I
have
seen
have
it
,
have
got
it
by
drinking
over
much
raw
Wine
,
and
then
lying
down
in
the
cold
to
sleep
,
whence
the
Humours
plethorick
have
not
had
that
expiration
through
the
pores
of
the
skin
as
they
should
,
and
the
humours
could
not
receive
the
third
concoction
for
want
of
heat
;
so
Nature
expels
the
raw
humour
to
the
outward
or
extream
parts
:
And
at
the
Joynts
the
Crude
humours
make
a
stop
,
and
the
blood
makes
not
so
good
a
circulation
as
it
should
:
This
then
is
a
Rheumatisme
.
Now
bleeding
is
the
principal
remedy
in
this
grief
,
not
only
once
but
often
,
and
a
good
large
quantity
at
a
time
.
The
best
of
Oyles
or
Oyntments
,
whether
hot
or
cold
,
I
could
never
find
to
do
any
good
;
and
Emplasters
have
signified
as
much
as
nothing
.
Bathe
the
part
well
with
Liquor
antipodagricus
Minsichti
,
or
aqu
.
Arthritica
Quercitani
:
Then
embrocate
it
with
the
quintissence
of
Colocynthidos
fabri
,
and
Antimony
.
I
say
,
with
the
often
bathing
and
chasing
in
of
these
Medicines
,
and
frequent
use
of
Phlebotomy
;
and
when
pain
is
insufferable
,
taking
inwardly
five
or
six
grains
of
that
excellent
Nepenthae
.
℞
Quintessentia
Papaveris
&
Hyosciami
,
in
a
little
Ale
,
or
common
Water
.
There
will
be
present
ease
,
and
speedy
cure
;
so
if
a
man
hath
a
fit
of
the
Gout
or
Sciatica
on
board
,
although
he
doth
not
expect
you
to
cure
him
,
yet
he
would
be
glad
of
ease
if
you
can
give
it
him
;
and
you
have
no
better
way
than
this
to
do
it
.

it
is
an
inflamation
of

of

,
with
Tumour
both
outward

inward
:
'T
is
a
distemper
of
Plethory
,
and
suffocates
a
man
in
a
little
time
,
if
not
remedied
.
Here
bleeding
is
immediately
required
,
first
under
the
Tongue
,
then
in
the
Jugulers
or
Arm
,
and
let
it
be
frequently

To
Cure
the
Relaxation
of
the
Wula's
and
Amygdalas
.
SOmetimes
by
cold
men
have
their
Almonds
of
the
Ears
down
,
and
their
Collumella
relaxed
by
a
moist
Rhume
distilling
on
them
from
the
Brain
.
The
best
way
to
cure
this
,
is
to
sweat
the
man
well
,
to
dry
up
that
Rheume
that
descends
:
A
dram
or
two
of
Lon.
Treacle
in
a
glass
of
Wine
is
a
good
Medicine
,
and
let
him
wrap
his
Stockins
about
his
neck
,
and
keep
his
head
warm
,
and
sweat
when
he
is
turned
in
.
Some
blow
restringent
pouder
upon
the
Uvula
,
with
their
Uvula
Spoon
;
others
dip
their
wet
Thumb
in
pouder
of
Pepper
,
and
stroak
on
them
;
but
the
best
way
is
to
make
a
Gargle
,
with
lign

Guaic.
in
pure
white
Wine
,
and
gargle
often
with
it
;
and
put
some
Spirit
of
Guaicum
in
your
Uvula
Spoon
,
and
blow
it
forcibly
on
the
Amygdals
and
Uvula
,
for
these
will
powerfully
dry
and
constringe
:
When
this
is
done
,
then
stroaking
them
up
gently
with
the
hands
outwardly
,
is
very
serviceable
.
If
any
bone
,
or
other
thing
stick
in
the
throat
and
cannot
be
extracted
with
the
forceps
,
it
must
be
thrust
down
with
your
Instrument

Whalebone
,
with
a
small
pellet

spunge
fastned
to
the
end
of

the

THE

great
arcanums
as
to
the
Tooth-ach
:
But
Ol.
Odontalgicum
Salmonis

now
found
the
best
of
all
.
A
small
Pellit
of
Lint
dipt
therein
,

put
into
the
Tooth
,
with
your
Fleme
.
It
causes
the
Rheume
to
fall
away
,
and
the
Teeth
to
leave
aching
:
If
it
be
a

you
would
do
well
to
sweat

most
approved
of

It
doth
not
only
cure
all
manner

eyes
,
and
dry
up
their

but
takes

therewith
,
'T
is
good

if

How
to
Cure
a
Clap.
THere
is
yet
another
Distemper
which
Seamen
meet
sometimes
with
by
going
a
shore
,
and
that
is
a
Clap.
Now
for
as
much
as
this
is
not
got
by
the
Ships
work
,
so
it
is
not
cured
on
the
Ships
account
,
but
the
Man
pays
you
for
it
:
But
it
is
a
Chyrurgical
Cure
,
and
you
are
desired
by
the
Man
to
cure
him
.
We
commonly
call
that
a
Clap
(
and
not
the
Pox
,
although
a
chip
of
the
same
block
)
when
the
venemous
humour
lyeth
about
the
Genitals
or
Seed-Vessels
,
and
hath
not
yet
infected
the
mass
of
blood
,
nor
got
into
the
bones
.
A
Clap
appears
either
in
a
Gonorrhea
,
Tumour
of
the
Yard
,
Shankers
,
pricking
in
the
Urinary
passage
,
or
Bubo
in
the
Groin
.
Whatever
way
it
appears
,
bleed
not
at
all
,
for
that
were
the
way
to
bring
it
into
the
body
.
The
first
thing
you
must
do
is
to
purge
out
the
Poysonous
Vapour
.
The
accustomary
way
,
and
indeed
a
very
good
way
is
this
,
℞

him
,
then
,
℞
Decoctum
Colocynthidos
Salmon
.
two
spoonfuls
in
a
glass
of
Wine
.
If
he
can
take
any
of
these
,
you
may
interchange
them
,
as
you
see
fit
,
because
the
too
often
taking
of
the
same
thing
cloys
the
patient
.
They
must
be
taken
in
the
Morning
fasting
,
and
he
must
be
ordered
as
to
purge
;
when
he
has
purged
sufficiently
,
for
four
or
five
days
,
the
running
will
cease
;
only
some
small
gleeting
't
is
possible
will
remain
.
To
Cure
which

Or

if

,
or
in

if
a

an
Ounce
at
a
time
,
and
drank
whilst
it
is
warm
.
Either
of
these
will
effectually
stop
the
gleeting
.
If
there
is
a
pricking
in
the
Yard
when
the
Man
makes
water
:
Inject

between
that
and
the

,
touch

do
;
But
if
the
Yard
is

that
you
cannot
get
at
these
Shankers
,
then
apply
a
warm
Plaister
of
Paracelsus
malaxt
with
unguent
de
Althea
,
and
that
will
discuss
and
resolve
it
:
But
if
a
Tumour
arise
in
the
Groin
,
purge
not
by
any
means
,
but
let
the
Patient
take
this
drink
following
to
help
to
drive
out
the
venemous
humour
,
which
nature
is
heaving
at
;
and
to
hinder
a
farther
progress
of
infection

How
to
Cure
a
confirm'd
Pox.
NOW
we
call
this
Morbus
Venereus
,
a
confirm'd
Pox
,
when
it
hath
passed
the
Liver
,
and
is
got
into
the
blood
,
and
that
the
spots
and
pustules
appear
,
and
nodes
and
night
pains
are
felt
.
Here
the
same
dyet-drink
must
be
kept
to
as
in
the
former
Chapter
,
for
there
is
no
better
in
the
World
;
the
same
purging
likewise
must
be
used
as
in
a
Clap
:
Purge
six
or
seven
days
first
,
and
then
desist
;
and
sweat
two
or
three
days
,
and
so
to
purging
again
:
When
you
would
sweat
,
to
some
of
your
dyet-drink
add
a
spoonful
of
Spir.
Guaic.
and
make
him
sweat
powerfully
,
for
by
this
way
of
purging
and
sweating
we
usually
Cure
the
Pox
at
Sea
.
If
there
remain
the
Reliques
of
an
old
Pox
,
you
have
no
better
way
than
to
give
him
℞

give

of
the

will

I

teach

how
to
Cure
those
inward
diseases

are
most
incident
to
the
Sea
,
and
first
I
'll
begin
with
the
Scurvy
.
CHAP.
I.
Of
the
Scurvy
.
THE
Scurvy
all
men
know
is
a
distemper
that
Seamen
are
much
troubled
withal
.
It
proceeds
from
putrifaction
of
the
blood
,
and
that
from
Obstructions
,
and
those
from
a
corrupt
Aliment
,
or
(
sometimes
)
from
over
full
dyet
,
of
Flesh
or
Fish
,
and
especially
when
there
wants
the
succulency
of
fresh
Vegetables
,
as
on
shoar
,
for
in
those
Countrys
where
they
drink
Wine
,
and
eat
green
Fruit
,
as
Lemons
,
Apples
,
or
Roots
and
Herbs
,
as
Salads
,
together
with
their
Meat
,
such
are
seldom
or
never
troubled
with
the
Scurvy
:
Nor
our
Men
neither
when
we
come
in
them
Countryes
where
those
things
can
be
got
;
but
otherwise
we
are
seldom
free
of
it
.
This
I
have
experienced
,
when
we
have
gone
a
New-found
Land
and
Straits
Voyage
.
And
to
this
we
may
add
difference
of
Climates
,
for
in
New-found
Land
,
(
although
they
have
had
fresh
Fish
,
and
other
diet
)
I
have
known
our
people
have
the
Scurvy
lamentably
,
both
in
the
Country
and
especially
after
our
departure
from
thence
,
between
that
and
the
Straits
;
which
when
we
have
arrived
in
Spain
,
and
the
Combotes
have
come
on
board
,
our
men
have
with
Wine
and
fresh
trade
mended
presently
;
This
I
impute
both
to
the
Aliment
and
Country
,
for
I
have
seldom
seen
the
Scurvy
got
in
that
Country
,
or
indeed
in
any
part
of
the
Straits
.
It
usually
appears
in
spots
on
the
Limbs
,
and
the
Legs
swell
,
and
pit
under
the
Finger
,
with
stiffness
in
the
Thighs
and
Hams
,
loose
Teeth
,
and
rotten
Gums
;
't
is
so
well
known
at
Sea
,
that
every
Sailer
that
has
used
the
Sea
any
time
,
knows
when
another
has
it
.
But
it
is
Objected
against
some
,
that
laziness
is
the
cause
of
it
,
and
to
others
,
that
nastiness
brings
it
on
them
;
but
let
me
write
this
word
(
in
vindication
of
the
diseased
)
that
I
have
known
as
stout
Seamen
,
and
as
stirring
,
and
as
neat
men
as
ever
crost
over
Salt-Water
,
afflicted
sadly
with
this
distemper
:
Therefore
it
is
not
these
,
but
the
other
causes
that
I
have
named
,
that
brings
the
Scurvy
.
Now
as
to
the
Cure
,
you
have
heard
already
what
dyet
and
drink
they
should
have
;
for
with
them
things
that
I
have
named
,
few
Medicines
are
required
for
the
Scurvy
;
but
without
them
,
it
will
puzzle
you
with
all
the
Medicines
in
your
Chest
to
cure
it
.
I
have
found
it
very
good
to
let
blood
in
the
beginning
of
this
distemper
,
when
it
comes
upon
a
Plethorick
Person
,
and
one
that
hath
had
a
full
dyet
,
but
when
it
hath
come
after
a
lingring
Feaver
,
then
not
;
for
very
often
men
have
with
it
the
Jaundice
or
Dropsie
,

Of
Fluxes
.
FLuxes
are
very
frequent
at
Sea
,
especially
when
the
victuals
grow
bad
;
or
when
we
come
in
Countries
where
we
get
abundance
of
bad
Wine
and
beverage
,
or
are
reduced
to
drink
stinking
water
sometimes
;
when
our
English
victualling
is
done
,
and
we
change
to
some
other
Country
victuals

I
have
known
Fluxes
come
all
these
ways
.
Come
how
they
will
,
our
way
to
Cure
them
is
,
first
to
purge
with
Rhubarb
,
and
't
is
best
thus
,
℞

let
him
drink
this
in
the
morning

In
this
disease
let
him
forbear
crude
Wine
and
Fruits
;
(
such
as
the
Scurvy
requires
are
here
Enemies
)
at
night
give
him
a
drachm
of
Diascordium
when
he
goes
to
try
to
rest
.
Next
morning
have
ready
a
dose
of
the
same
infusion
of
Rubarb
,
as
before
,
adding
only
fresh
Cinnamon
to
it
,
and
this
second
infusion
has
(
if
not
altogether
)
almost
lost
its
Cathartick
quallity
,
and
now
is
mostly
restrictive
.
The
night
following
give
him
a
good
drink
of
burnt
Wine
,
with
a
branch
of
Rosemary
,
and
some
Cinnamon
in
it
,
and
sweetned
with
white
Sugar
.
This
method
stops
most
white
Fluxes
.
CHAP.
III.
Of
a
Dysentery
or
Bloody
Flux
.
A
Bloody
Flux
hath
most
frequently
the
same
primary
causes
as
the
other
,
however
there
are
sharp
corroding
Chollerick
humours
,
fretting
and
ulcerating
the
Intestines
.
'T
is
requisite
here
to
let
blood
in
the
first
place
;
I
have
found
that
to
do
a
great
deal
of
good
.
Purge
him
likewise
with
the
first
,
and
then
endeavour
to
bind
with
the
second
infusion
of
Rubarb
as
before
:
But
withal
there
is
too
often
in
this
,
as
in
the
Scurvy
,
a
secret
malignity
poysonous
and
infectious
,
and
it
causes
others
to
fall
sick
,
if
it
be
the
ruining
distemper
in
the
ship
.
This
venomous
quallity
proceeds
from
the
corruption
of
humours
;
therefore
it
is
to
be
powerfully
opposed
:

give
it
not
only
once
but
often

heal
the

give

Of

A
Cholera
is
a
violent
vomiting

and
sometimes
a
loosness
with
it
from
Cholerick
humours

carry

the
humours
both
ways
,
but
throughly
rectifies
the
distemper
of
the
Stomach
and
first

:
When
this
has
done
working

burn
him
half

CHAP.
V.
Of
a
Surfeit
.
SUrfeits
at
Sea
generally
come
by
over
drinking
,
(
although
indeed
they
may
come
by
over-eating
,
or
from
the
vitions
quality
of
what
is
eaten
)
it
is
so
that
nature
refuseth
to
digest
the
great
quantity
that
a
man
has
drank
:
As
a
man
that
hath
a
burden
too
heavy
,
doth
not
so
much
as
lift
at
it
.
Some
nature
is
so
propitious
to
them
,
that
when
they
are
too
full
of
drink
,
they
vomit
,
but
some
do
not
;
but
are
extream
sick
at
stomach
,
and
the
head
achs
as
it
would
split
.
Now
if
such
had
given
them
a
draught
of
warm
Water
,
with
some
℥
ij
Oxymel
of
Squils
in
it
,
they
would
vomit
and
prevent
a
Surfeit
;
especially
if
after
their
vomiting
they
had
a
pint
of
Wine
burnt
,
with
a
sprig
of
Mint
,
and
a
blade
of
Mace
,
and
sweetned
with
fine
Sugar
,
and
so
drank
hot
:
But
if
it
hath
passed
the
Stomach
before
the
man
speaks
to
you
;
and
the
Liver
doth
not
digest
it
,
but
lets
it
lye
in
the
first
passages
,
then
there
is
worser
pains
and
heat
.
Now
Vomiting
of
it self
will
do
no
good
:
But

This
in
a
glass
of
Wine
will
work
pleasantly
both
wayes
,
and
free
both
Stomach
and
intestines
of
the
superfluous
humour
that
Nature
is
charged
withal
.
Some
in
this
case
use
a
Clyster
,

℥
j
in
moderately
hot
Wine
injected
,
excellently
draws
down
the
excrement
and
noxious
fumes
and
evacuates
it
to
the
Patients
great
ease
and
comfort
.
The
Body
thus
cleansed
,
let
him
then
drink
the
burnt
Wine
hot
,
and
add
to
it
a
scruple
of
Elixir
vitrioli
mynsichti
,
and
then
it
is
a
powerful
stomachical
,
and
will
cause
digestion
:
But
sometimes
it
has
past
the
Liver
,
and
hath
not
been
well
concocted
there
,
but
is
sent
as
it
were
half
digested
into
the
Veins
,
and
so
there
is
no
third
concoction
;
it
doth
not
make
blood
fit
to
nourish
,
and
now
it
is
a
confirm'd
Surfeit
,
and
't
is
like
the
Surfeit
spots
come
out
;
and
there
's
a
Feaver
,
and
loathing
of
Food
,
but
a
great
thirst
,
and
desire
of
more
cold
drink
.
Now
ashore
't
is
common
in
this
case
to
run
to
the
Apothecaries
for
Surfeit
water
,
and
when
he
hath
drank
that
,
and
not
the
better
;
then
to
the
Doctors
,
but
it
is
commonly
too
late
for
't
,
for
many
a
man
loses
his
Life
by
such
delayes
,
and
by
trusting
to
the
Surfeit
water
only
.

for
abateing
the
great

a

Of
the
Cholick
and
Wind.
AT
Sea
Men
are
oftentimes
taken
with
fits
of
the
Cholick
,
with
insufferable
griping
.
It
is
by
corrupt
humours
,
and
windy
vapours
in
the
Tunicles
of
the
intestines
;
it
generally
comes
by
cold
.
Sometimes
the
Body
is
bound
with
this
Disease
,
and
then
in
the
West-Indies
it
is
called
the
dry
gripes

Sometimes
there
is
a
Looseness
,
with
intolerable
tortion
of
the
Bowels
.
If
it
were
wind
alone
,
an
excellent
Clyster
were
that

Tobacco
,
given
in
a
fumigatory
Clister-pipe
:
Otherwise
a
pint

injected
has
been
approved
to
do
good
to
a
wonder

But
if
corrupt

Of
the
Wormes
.
I
Have
known
when
men
at
Sea
have
been
very
much
troubled
with
the
Worms
:
And
then
't
is
usual
to
give
them
Calomelos
℈
j
in
some
purging
Pill
:
Others
give
Spirit
Vitriol
,
some
drops
in
their
drink
,
and
some
Cem.
Absynth
in
ponder
in
Hony
:
But
Quintessentia

,
&
Quintessentia
Centauri
Major
.
&
Minor
.
ʒj
,
&
Sal
prunellae
℈
j
,
these
in
a
glass
of
Wine
or
Beer
surely
destroy
the
Worms
.
And
this
excellent
Pouder
,
called
Pulv.
ad
Lumbricos
Magistralis
ana
℈
j
adʒs
in
any
convenient
vehicle
is
of
excellent
use
as
to
this
intention
.
But
sometimes
you
have
young
Children
and
tender
persons
on
board
that
cannot
take
Medicines
,
and
yet
hap
to
have
the
Worms
:
Then
anoint
the
Belly
or
Stomach
with
that
precious
Oyl
of
Myrrh
,
and
it
will
effectually
do
the
work
.
CHAP.
X.
Of
Colds
,
Coughs
,
Rhumes
,
Catarrhs
.
IT
falls
out
very
often
that
men
are
troubled
with
these
Distempers
at
Sea
,
and
will
desire
of
you
something
to
sweat
:
Which
indeed
is
the
best
way
,
if
it
be
a
new
cold
:
A
pint
of
burnt
Wine
,
with
a
branch
or
two
of
Rosemary
,
and
Cloves
,
and
Mace
,
and
Cinnamon
,
with
a
ʒj
of
Lond
Thriac
in
it
,
and
brewed
with
the
yolk
of
an
Egg
,
and
sweetned
with
Loaf
Sugar
,
and
drank
hot
when
he
turns
in
,
and
so
to
let
him
sweat
well
:
This
is
undoubtedly
the
best
Medicine
in
the
World
.
But
a
Catarrh
is
a
Rhume
that
has
taken
a
habit
of
trickling
slily
down
the
Aspera
arteria
,
and
so
to
the
Lungs
;
this
causeth
extream
Coughing
,
and
by
reason
of
that
straining
,
the
man
grows
hot
and
feaverish
withal
,
with
grievous
Head-ach
,
and
when
any
of
this
Rhume
falls
into
the
Stomach
,
there
is
a
reaching
to
Vomit
:
Nay
,
such
is
the
Nature
of
a
Catarrh
,
that
it
many
times
erodes
the
Lungs
,
and
causeth
a
Consumption
.
Now
the
best
thing
you
can
do
,
is
to
purge
the
Brain
,
and
all
the
Body
of
that
Catarrish
humour
:
Either
Pilulae
ex
duobus
,
or
extr.
rudij
℈
j
,
or
half
a
drachm
doth
it
at
once
excellently
well
;
and
when
this
is
throughly
done
,
then
your
burnt
Wine
spoken
of
before
will
come
to
bare
;
and
when
you
have
sweat
him
well
,
then
these
Medicines
following
are
the
best
that
can
be
used
.
Lohoch
Crocatum
Mynsicti
,
is
a
great
secret
in
this
Disease
,
it
digests
,
makes
thick
,
agglutinates
,
expectorates
,
coroborates
the
Spirits
,
cools
inflamation
,
quenches
thirst
,
and
eases
the
most
acute
pain
;
't
is
to
be
taken
of
the
end
of
a
Liquorice
stick
bruised
.
Another
excellent
thing
is
Syr.
Catarrhis
Mulleri
,
this
doth
not
only
heal
the
Ulcers
of
the
Lungs
which
cause
blood
to
be
spit
up
,
and
stop
the
falling
of
the
Rhume
,
but
cures
Consumptions
;
't
is
to
be
taken
with
a
bruised
Liquorish
stick
as
the
other
pectoral
Syrrups
are
,
such
as
Colts-foot
,
Jujubines
,
Liquorish
,
and
the
like
.
But
above
all
that
,
Infusus
Pectoralis
Comp.
of
Doctor
Salmons
is
of
insuperable
efficacy
,
a
spoonful
or
two
of
it
at
a
time
drank
in
a
glass
of
Sack
,
and
that
often
,
especially
morning
and
evening
:
But
if
you
'd
give
it
him
to
drink
,
and
not
by
way
of
Lohoch
;
then
Tinctura
Astmatica
Millij
℥
j
,
Vinum
Juniperium
a
spoonful
,
Elixir
Sulphuris
,
a
few
drops
in
a
glass
of
Sack
is
excellent
.
CHAP.
XI
.
Of
Continual
Feavers
,
or
Calentures
.
THese
are
very
frequent
at
Sea
,
especially
in
hot
Clymates
.
I
have
had
the
woful
experience
of
them
,
(
as
well
as
of
Fluxes
)
at
Scanderoon
,
and
Cypris
;
sometimes
they
have
that
degree
of
malignity
in
them
that
wants
but
little
of
the
Pestilence
.
Men
are
usually
taken
at
first
with
a
shivering
in
their
Bones
,
as
if
they
had
got
a
cold
:
They
will
ask
you
for
something
to
sweat
,
and
you
will
do
well
to
burn
him
a
pint
of
Wine
,
and
give
him
a
ʒj
.
of
Lond.
Thriac
.
in
it
,
and
let
him
sweat
,
for
this
(
it
may
be
)
may
hinder
a
further
progress
;
But
if
notwithstanding
this
,
he
turns
to
burning
,
and
his
head
to
ach
extreamly
,
then
defer
not
to
let
him
blood
the
next
morning
;
and
if
you
are
in
a
Country
where
there
is
store
of
Wine
,
and
Men
have
drank
much
,
and
inflamed
their
blood
,
let
not
one
bleeding
serve
,
but
repeat
it
oftener
.
Give
Clysters
likewise
to
mollifie
the
excrement
,
and
discuss
the
noxious
fumes
.

Decoct

or

j.
Then
after
this
try
what
your
burnt
Wine
will
do
,
for
now
a
breathing
sweat
will
be
profitable
;
but
if
it
be
a
malignant
or
burning
Feaver
,
and
it
is
the
distemper
of
the
Ship
,
or
place
where
you
are
,
it
will
have
a
certain
time
(
do
what
you
can
)
as
it
had
its
beginning
,
so
it
will
have
its
increase
,
state
and
declination
.
All
that
you
can
do
now
is
to
further
(
and
not
hinder
)
its
coming
to
its
state
;
Therefore
give
not
too
cooling
things
,
for
by
that
means
many
a
Man
is
cooled
out
of
his
Life
;
and
on
the
other
hand
,
be
cautions
how
you
let
him
take
things
that
will
inflame
;
Liquor
vitriolatus
mynsichti
℥
ij
.
is
excellent
both
ways
.
If
you
give
him
cooling
things
,
let
them
be
such
as
moderately
palliate
,
are
Cordial
,
and
quench
thirst
,
and
yet
keep
him
in
a
moist
and
natural
warmth
:
As
℞
Aqua
aromatica

Elixir

;
This
in
a
little
aqua
Cordialae
refrigerans
is
mighty
refreshing
,
and
doth
not
extinguish
natural
heat
,
but
powerfully
help
it
.
Again
,
if
you
give
hot
Cordials
,
let
it
be
such
as
will
not
cause
burning
and
thirst
,
but
oppose
that
,
and
rather
cause
a
breathing
and
natural
warmth
.

This
is
a
Cordial
that
would
revive
(
as
't
were
)
a
dying
man
,
and
give
him
,
not
too
heating
,
but
a
breathing
and
natural
heat
;
But
before
the
Feaver
comes
to
its
height
,
usually
men
are
dileriate
,
and
if
it
be
a
right
Calenture
,
he
will
think
the
Sea
a
Meadow
,
and
seek
to
leap
into
it
:
Then
(
if
you
cannot
conveniently
give
him
Clysters
because
he
is
unruly
)
give
him
,
℞
Tinctura
solutiva
℥
j.
in
his
Barly-water
to
keep
him
soluble
.
But
the
noblest
Medicine
under
the
Heavens
in
this
case
is
Quinta
essentia
rosarum
palidarum
℥
j.
per
se
.
This
as
't
is
opening
,
so
't
is
powerfully
Cordial
and
Alexipharmick
,
and
the
pleasantest
thing
in
the
whole
World
.
When
his
Body
is
open
,
then
endeavour
to
give
him
a
little
ease
and
rest
.
That
excellent
Anodine
Cordial
following
I
cannot
but
recommend
to
you
,
℞
Extractum
opii
anodinum
ʒ
j
,
Tinctura
vitae
Minsichti
,
a
spoonful
.
Let
him
take
this
and
endeavour
to
rest
,
for
this
will
powerfully
exhilarate
the
hurt
,
comfort
the
Spirits
,
resist
malign
atoms
,
provoke
a
breathing
sweat
;
it
will
do
(
in
a
manner
)
whatever
you
desire
it
should
do
;
nothing
so
friendly
a
second
at
this
juncture
,
whilst
Nature
is
contending
with
its
enemy
for
Life
.
But
now
methinks
I
hear
my self
accused
,
that
I
speak
of
Medicines
fitter
for
Princes
and
Noble
Personages
,
who
have
Money
enough
,
then
for
Chyrurgions
of
Ships
to
carry
to
cure
Seamen
withal
:
'T
is
true
they
are
precious
,
and
some
of
them
of
inestimable
value
:
But
consider
Life
is
sweet
to
all
men
,
and
I
hope
it
is
no
harm
to
you
to
know
them
that
are
best
capable
of
preserving
Life
.
But
as
to
the
Feaver
,
there
are
some
of
that
degree
of
malignity
,
that
they
come
to
their
height
,
and
the
man
either
recovers
or
dyes
before
the
seventh
day
,
as
on
the
fourth
or
fifth
,
such
are
Pestilential
,
and
strike
severely
at
Nature
.
Others
are
not
so
acute
,
but
hold
till
the
ninth
or
tenth
day
,
at
what
time
,
if
Nature
is
not
strong
,
it
goes
hard
with
the
Patient
.
But
most
recoveries
that
ever
I
saw
,
have
been
the
thirteenth
or
fourteenth
day
,
for
about
that
time
is
the
right
natural
Crisis
,
that
most
continual
Feavers
come
to
their
state
,
insomuch
as
(
when
I
have
had
twenty
or
thirty
down
at
a
time
)
he
that
has
lived
to
the
fifteenth
day
,
I
have
not
feared
his
miscarrying
afterward
;
except
by
carelesness
,
or
some
accident
,
he
hath
precipitated
himself
into
a
relapse
.
If
his
Tongue
be
foul
,
clear
it
with
your
Spatula
Lingua
,
and
in
all
his
drink
(
which
should
be
only
Barly-water
)
give
him
xx
or
more
drops
of
quintessentia
vitrioli
.
If
it
be
the
spotted
Feaver
or
Pestilence
,
let
him
neither
purge
nor
bleed
,
for
that
were
dangerous
,
but
let
him
take
a
drachm
of
Thriac
.
Lond.
nova
,
and
half
a
drachm
of
quintessentia
vitrioli
,
these
in
a
glass
of
Sack
are
the
noblest
medicines
that
ever
were
known
,
inwardly
;
and
let
him
sweat
to
purpose
,
whilst
he
has
strength
,
but
moderately
if
he
be
weak
;
Aqua

make

NOW
in

them
that
have
the
Ague
use
to
Vomit
;
that
shews
a
foulness
of
Body
,
especially
the
first
passages
;
and
a
quotidian
,
or
tertian
,
I
have
often
cured
by
given
of
the
Patients
safe
Vomits
:

℞
Vinum

with
Oxymel
scil.
℥
ss.
in
a
glass

.
Give
this
about
two
hours
before
the
fit
is
to
come
:
'T
is
an
excellent
thing
against
Agues
.
Then
in
the
time
of
the
fit
,
when
he
cryes
out
for
drink
,
let
him
have
Elixir
febrile
Horstij
,
a
ʒj
or
ij
in
his
Barly-water
,
which
you
'l
find
powerful
against
the
Fever
:
On
the
well

let
him
have
℞
Quintessentia

Colocynth

ʒ
ss
in
a
glass
of
Wine
.
These
will
purge
downwards
to
your
hearts
content
,
and
in
Agues
have
no
equals
.
When
this
has
done
working
,
and
at
night
when
he
turns
in
,
give
him
of
Aqua
febrifuga
℥

or

and
sweat
him
upon
it

About
two
hours
before
you
expect
the
next
fit
to
come
,
(
whatever
Ague
it
is
,
Quartan
,
or
any
;
)
let
him
take
this
following
℞
Essentia

Let
him
drink
it
in
a

Sack
,
and
mark
the
event
,
which
doubtless
will
be
to
your
infinite
satisfaction
,
and
the
Patients
likewise
.
As
for
your
Cordials
and
Catharticks
,
and
drink
,
you
have
them
in
the
last
Chapter
,
there
can
be
no

hath
one
severe

it
,
but
no
more
;
and
if
purging
doth
not
go
before
,
the
Ague
will
return
again
in
about
a
months
time

as
the
Doctors
there
have
observed

CHAP.
XIII
.
Of
the
Measles
,
and
Small
Pox.
IT
many
times
happens
that
Men
,
(
especially
the
younger
sort
)
have
these
Diseases
in
a
Ship
,
and
when
one
hath
had
it
,
it
usually
goes
to
more
of
them
;
't
is
a
nausious
Disease
in
a
Ship
.
They
are
usually
taken
at
first
with
a
dulness
or
heaviness
,
and
then
a
pain
in
the
back
,
with
grievous
Head-ach
.
Now
it
is
held
good
in
England
to
lot
blood
in
this
Disease
;
but
there
is
a
Feaver
before
the
Small
Pox
breaks
out
,
and
a
man
knows
not
if
it
will
be
the
Small
Pox
or
no
,
(
especially
if
it
hath
not
already
been
in
the
Ship
;
)
by
reason
of
which
some
are
let
blood
;
but
if
it
hath
been
in
the
Ship
,
then
you
will
be
cautious
when
you
have
these
signs
,
whether
it
will
be
the
Small
Pox
or
no
;
an
opening
and
discussing
Clyster
can
do
no
hurt
;
and
if
it
should
be
a
Feaver
only
,
then
it
will
do
a
great
deal
of
good
.
If
he
be
a
young
Person
that
hath
these
signs
,
and
one
that
hath
not
had
the
Small
Pox
,
you
had
not
best
be
too
forward
in
letting
blood
,
but
defer
it
till
the
third
day
.
You
may
give
some
London
Treacle
,
and
a
Cup
of
burnt
Wine
,
and
cause
him
to
sweat
,
and
that
will
soon
shew
you
if
it
be
that
Distemper
or
no
,
for
it
will
the
sooner
break
out
:
If
it
is
not
hindred
by
bleeding
,
nor
purging
,
nor
wet
,
nor
cold
,
(
all
which
are
by
no
means
proper
)
it
will
come
out
by
the
third
day
.
Now
your
way
is
to
drive
it
out
forcibly
,
for
which
there
is
no
better
thing
than
this
:
℞
Tinctura
Croci
℥
j
,
Antimo
.
diaph
.
gr.
x.
Confectio
Alcherm
.
℈
j.
Let
this
be
shak't
together
in
a
glass
of
Sack
and
Drank
,
and
now
let
him
be
kept
exceeding
warm
,
that
no
cold
comes
to
him
;
nor
let
him
eat
or
drink
any
thing
that
is
cold
,
or
may
cause
a
looseness
,
for
that
were
dangerous
:
He
will
be
extreamly
desirous
of
Drink
,
and
if
it
be
Beer
,
let
it
be
strong
,
and
let
every
draught
that
he
drinks
be
moderately
warm
,
with
℈
j
of
Ruint
Corn
Ceru
in
it
:
Every
two
hours
give
him
a
spoonful
of
Aqua
Aromatica
,
and
a
℈
j
of
Pulv.
Gascon
,
in
a
little
Canary
,
and
this
is
truly
Cordial
,
and
will
powerfully
expulse
malignity
.
Have
a
care
of
cooling
Juleps
,
(
they
are
not
proper
)
except
such
as
was
mentioned
in
the
Chapter
of
a
Feaver
,
which
will
withal
cause
a
breathing
kind
moisture
,
and
them
you
may
use
moderately
.
No
matter
although
he
doth
not
go
to
Stool
in
four
or
five
dayes
;
give
him
no
Clyster
for
all
that
,
least
you
make
him
take
cold
:
For
about
the
first
crisis
he
will
go
to
Stool
of
himself
,
which
is
about
the
seventh
day
from
his
falling
sick
.
Boyl
him
Fowles
,
and
let
him
eat
of
them
(
if
he
can
)
or
at
least
of
their
broth
;
the
which
let
him
drink
often
;
he
cannot
feed
himself
,
his
attendance
must
do
that
office
for
him
.
Let
white
Bisket
(
if
you
have
any
on
board
)
be
steept
in
his
Sack
,
and
let
him
eat
it
,
and
drink
the
Sack
after
it
.
If
through
some
ill
accident
,
or
the
great
malignity
of
the
Distemper
he
hath
not
miscarried
before
,
he
will
have
them
at
the
height
before
the
fourteenth
day
,
and
then
recover
:
But
in
his
recovering
,
let
him
have
a
care
of
falling
into
a
relapse
by
heedlesness
;
for
so
some
have
miscarried
afterward
.
Let
his
face
be
kept
as
much
out
of
the
Air
as
possible
,
and
let
him
not
scratch
off
the
scurf
with
his
hands
,
for
by
these
things
the
Scarrs
will
be
deep
;
but
anoint
his
face
gently
with
your
warm
Album
Camphoratum
,
and
it
will
cause
the
scale
to
come
off
easily
,
and
leave
the
new
skin
,
and
comely
.
FINIS
