A95997	Speedy help for rich and poor. or, certain physicall discourses touching the vertue of whey, in the cure of the griping flux of the belly, and of the dysentery. Of cold water, in the cure of the gout, and green-wounds. Of wine-vineger, in the preservation from, and cure of the plague, and other pestilential diseases: as also in the prevention of the hydrophobia, or dread of water, caused by the biting of a mad dog. &c. Written in Latine by Hermannus Vander Heyden, a physician of Gaunt.	Heyden, Hermann van der, 1572-ca. 1650.	1653 (1653)	Wing V63; Thomason E1305_1; ESTC R30733	79,878	247

be_v of_o most_o exquisite_a sense_n for_o so_o all_o motion_n must_v needs_o be_v painful_a but_o instead_o of_o that_o be_v environ_v with_o a_o gristle_n and_o join_v together_o with_o ligament_n that_o be_v void_a of_o all_o sense_n so_o that_o the_o pain_n must_v therefore_o necessary_o be_v attribute_v to_o the_o neighbour_a part_n which_o be_v most_o sensible_a in_o the_o produce_v whereof_o see_v that_o this_o antecedent_n cause_o be_v also_o to_o be_v suppose_v to_o cooperate_v i_o be_o clear_o of_o opinion_n that_o without_o any_o let_v of_o blood_n either_o by_o way_n of_o

that_o by_o mean_n of_o this_o immersion_n into_o or_o application_n of_o the_o say_v cold_a water_n the_o blood_n be_v repel_v very_o far_o back_o and_o its_o vessel_n be_v by_o this_o mean_v close_v

the_o generation_n of_o purulent_a matter_n and_o sometime_o also_o will_v cause_v a_o impostumation_n or_o a_o ery●pelas_n neither_o of_o which_o be_v at_o all_o here_o to_o be_v fear_v as_o it_o often_o use_v to_o happen_v when_o the_o periostium_fw-la or_o thin_a skin_n that_o immediate_o enwrappe_v the_o shinbone_n be_v inflame_v by_o a_o wound_n or_o bruise_v so_o that_o the_o neighbour_a

whole_a body_n the_o carcase_n be_v in_o the_o end_n bring_v to_o the_o grave_n and_o these_o accident_n which_o sometim_n befall_v young_a people_n but_o old_a folk_n very_o often_o i_o have_v the_o more_o large_o dilate_v upon_o that_o man_n may_v take_v the_o better_a notice_n of_o the_o most_o evident_a danger_n in_o this_o case_n which_o yet_o by_o so_o facile_a and_o a_o ready_a remedy_n may_v easy_o be_v avoid_v for_o it_o be_v very_o certain_a that_o the_o aforesaid_a immersion_n in_o cold_a water_n if_o it_o be_v due_o make_v use_n of_o so_o soon_o as_o the_o wound_n be_v receive_v or_o else_o within_o some_o few_o hour_n after_o it_o will_v infallible_o and_o perfect_o cure_v the_o same_o and_o i_o can_v assure_v the_o reader_n that_o for_o these_o three_o and_o fifty_o year_n space_n for_o so_o long_o it_o be_v since_o i_o first_o light_v upon_o this_o way_n of_o cure_v of_o wound_n receive_v upon_o the_o leg_n which_o i_o have_v never_o before_o either_o read_v or_o hear_v of_o i_o have_v never_o know_v any_o of_o my_o patient_n to_o have_v suffer_v hereby_o any_o great_a pain_n much_o less_o death_n but_o all_o thing_n have_v ever_o succeed_v according_a to_o my_o wish_n as_o i_o have_v always_o by_o most_o curious_a observation_n find_v thus_o in_o autumn_n in_o the_o year_n 1674_o in_o a_o wound_n almost_o all_o along_o the_o whole_a leg_n and_o that_o where_o the_o party_n be_v very_o old_a too_o after_o he_o have_v by_o my_o presumption_n bathe_v his_o leg_n a_o good_a while_n together_o in_o cold_a water_n he_o have_v not_o the_o least_o feeling_n of_o any_o pain_n in_o his_o leg_n neither_o be_v there_o any_o purulent_a matter_n breed_v in_o the_o wound_n and_o that_o by_o reason_n of_o the_o so_o effectual_a repulsion_n of_o the_o blood_n and_o the_o other_o humour_n and_o spirit_n as_o we_o have_v show_v before_o by_o the_o say_v cold_a water_n which_o lest_o by_o the_o patient_n too_o rash_a venture_n upon_o motion_n they_o shall_v by_o chance_n be_v call_v down_o towards_o the_o part_n again_o it_o will_v be_v necessary_a that_o he_o keep_v himself_o quiet_a for_o a_o while_n to_o the_o end_n therefore_o that_o in_o these_o and_o the_o like_a accident_n there_o may_v be_v a_o orderly_a and_o a_o secure_a way_n of_o proceed_v we_o must_v be_v sure_a to_o continue_v this_o immersion_n at_o the_o least_o for_o half_a a_o hour_n or_o rather_o a_o hour_n space_n till_o such_o time_n as_o the_o part_n affect_v shall_v be_v reduce_v to_o its_o proper_a temperature_n or_o be_v rather_o bring_v down_o to_o a_o
